  • Overall I like it, I’m a pretty introverted person and tend to stay in the background by nature, but being this tall means that I get noticed no matter what.

    That being said, I’m writing this from the back of an Uber and i can’t put my head straight up here. And the only way to fly is in an emergency exit seat.

    I can only buy clothes in specialised shops, but these days most have web shops, so that has become a lot easier.





  • Same here, similar age.

    When i got diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago, ny psychologist mentioned that I’m probably on the spectrum as well, but that getting an official diagnosis wouldn’t really help anything and she wasn’t sure I would even get one.

    But having the realisation really opened my eyes though, I now understand better why certain situations always made me irritable and made me have much more peace with my own limitations.

    I always knew I was a bit ‘off’, and knowing I’m on the spectrum kind of felt like the last pieces of the puzzle fell in place.



  • At my current and previous job (IT) we do 3 rounds, team (most important), technical and management. I find that this works pretty well to hire people that really dit both the team and know how to do the job. Each last 40-60 minutes.

    The first is where most candidates fail, it’s an interview with your future peers with little technical content. Mainly talking about interests, work style, how you interact with team mates, etc.

    The second is with senior team members and is mostly technical.

    The third is management rubber stamping the teams choice and you have to fuck up pretty badly to fail.

    I should add that we hire many candidates from abroad, and having people fail probation after moving their families across the globe would be a really shitty move.




  • In Manjaro you just run this command, there’s a GU package manager as well, but I’ve never used it. Pamac takes care of downloading / building any required dependencies and the AUR repo includes any required patches for the application run well on Arch / Manjaro.

    pamac build

    I haven’t used Arch in years, but I believe it was something similar.

    The whole system is pretty similar to, (but more refined than) FreeBSDs Ports tree.


  • I went from Windows XP -> FreeBSD -> Debian -> several Ubuntu flavors -> MacOS -> Manjaro on my desktop. I ended up switching to MacOs after countless upgrade and graphics card issues in the early 2010s but switched back to Linux again after getting tired of Apples more and more restrictive environment.

    For servers I’ve switched around between FreeBSD, Debian and Ubuntu at home and various Redhat based distros at work.

    Right now I use Ubuntu because it just works for my Kubernetes home cluster and Redhat at work because its well supported for commercial software.
