Weekly thread for any and all career, learning and general guidance questions. Thinking of taking a training or going for a cert? Wondering how to level up your career? Wondering what NOT to do? Got other questions? This is the time and place to ask!

I have been working a very labor intensive job for about 3 months now and have lost enough inches on my waist to go down two pants sizes yet my total weight when I go on the scale remains around the same. How is it possible that I lost 4 or 5 inches off my waist yet the scale doesn’t change? Is it possible what weight in fat I...

You need 100 metric tons of paraffin wax. How do you aquire it?

Hey all. I’m currently trialling out IPTV providers, and one of the things that’s putting me off entirely is the lack of decent Mac apps, specifically ones that allow for Xtream logins and not only m3u....

I’m often in longer telephone conferences and like to play relatively uncomplicated, mindless games like 2048 or threes. Both of these are getting pretty boring these days, so I’m looking for new games.

I’ve read that at the center of large celestial bodies there’s zero gravity (or close to). While confirmation would be nice, if true, I’m wondering how large that area can actually be and moreover, does it scale up with more mass and/or even size - that is, does the sun have a larger center area of low (zero?) gravity than...

It’s used on so many country instances and I’ve started to wonder.

I’ve recently switched from windows to Linux Mint after learning about how much support steam has put into Linux gaming. I’ve found my way around packages and alternatives to set myself up similar to my windows experience except for 7.1 surround sound that Razer offered for my 3.5mm connection headphones....

I’m just gonna apologize already for some long run-on sentences and stuff, the text below the questions are more just unorganized thought piles then actual organized specific confusions....

I’ve been thinking about getting into home roasting, anyone got any tips of first roasters and places to check out for green beans? I was thinking a SR800 with extension tube from sweet Maria’s and the green coffee there as well but love to hear other thoughts!

I am planning to eventually build my own home server, and when I do I will hook it up via ethernet. But I do want to switch away from the generic FIOS router and use my own for more control over my data and security. Any recommendations?

For me it’s PC games, for my gf it’s tabletop games, so I was interested, what do you folks imagine as the first thing when someone says “games”?

So, I've just set up my own peertube instance over at tube.puggaard-nyborg.dk, and that was surprising simple....

I have a family member living on my property in a separate but adjacent living space, close enough together to share my router’s wifi. She likes to let her youtube app endlessly autoplay talking head news videos at full volume due to her hearing loss, and this goes on for a few hours in the mornings. The sound through the...

Hey everyone...

I’ve had a great time playing some of the ‘smaller’ games lately: Dredge (adore this game so much), Dave the Diver, Cloudpunk, Stray, Octopath II, Observer....

Is there a trick to getting indexers to work all the time? They are always failing… What are the best practices to keep things running smoothly?...

I currently have 2 PCs which dual-boot from single drive:...

So I’ve been using Linux now for a while, and am looking to migrate my dev environment to vim and spend more time in the command line. I’m fairly comfortable with bash but by no means an expert. I’ve used zsh with some minor customization but just recently learned about fish. I’d love to hear people’s opinions.
