I quit my company a week ago because as a company of 13 people the communication at all levels was so poor compared to my previous job working with over 20 and several departments. I’m not usually one to judge people’s degrees, but our boss has a biosciences and GIS degree and somehow wandered their way into software management and has the biggest superiority complex I’ve ever seen. These people plague the software development landscape so, my condolences for your CEO who is probably too busy looking at golf clubs and scheduling tee times while writing up an email about how hard executive management works to get back to you.

It’s worth it when you can have it (forever). There’s always some price of admission, nothing in piracy is ever really free. You can certainly circumvent any blockades with a VPN and find a way to use crypto to fund the paid plan.

Spotify streaming quality isn’t great anyway. Choose a different streaming service like Tidal which has actively maintained tools to get what you need

Some Netflix shows that are in 4K have not been showing up in private trackers lately

You should always use a VPN, doesn’t matter if the tracker is public or private. And yes, better selection, seeding requirements, and better speeds.

Likely not, but I’m happy and sad that this seems to be a common scenario.

Sharpening the résumé as we speak

Dump it into ec2-type lol. It’s not a product that can or should be cloud native without becoming a security nest of hornets for customer cybersecurity departments.

Our solutions architect is like this. Not because we’re working on anything important at the moment, but because we keep pushing back important upgrades further and further, making each day a more challenging operation to keep our rickety-ass distributed monolith alive.

We were supposed to upgrade from Java 8 on Springboot 2.1 to 17 on Springboot 3. That got wiped off the table because the bosses think shoving our inefficient solution into a cloud product is what will attract customers.

Looks around. You guys are still streaming?

JetBrains for everything

They quietly jot down everyone’s updates, circle the words they don’t understand, attempt to look up what those words mean, then say them in the next stand up completely out of context and incorrectly.

Whose router are you using? Your own? Local traffic shouldn’t behave any differently unless you’re using their equipment which may not have the settings you want configured correctly.

T-Mobile uses CG-NAT which means you don’t have a dedicated, proper IPv4 address associated with your public facing network. You will need to use a reverse proxy setup like Tailscale in order to regain external access for Plex. You can also try to call T-Mobile and ask for a static IP address, then actually doing it only happens on rare occasions from what I’ve seen.

Had to tell our DevOps guy this. Nobody at my company knows how to keep their build tools let alone their OS up to date. WhY WoNt IT CoMPilE?? Maybe because you’re using a 9 year old maven version, buddy.

Managed to get an invite to a decent private tracker with a great selection. Ever since the downfall of RARBG I’ve basically been 90% private for most of my stuff. I relied very heavily on it. Like someone else said, public occasionally has things the private ones don’t. Private trackers may integrate public items into their communities.
