themoonisacheese , to youshouldknow in YSK how to deal with questions about gaps in your employment.
@themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works avatar

On top of justifying your employment gaps, laying through your fucking teeth is a mighty effective tactic in job interviews in general.

You have the experience they’re looking for. Where did you get it? Toys r us, sears, choose any company that went bankrupt. List your friend (coach them on what to say) as your manager at that place.

You love overtime when it’s necessary. You don’t have anyone at home waiting for you so if there’s work to do you’re happy to get a bigger paycheck instead of being bored all night. It doesn’t matter if it’s true because that guy told you “we don’t ask for overtime often, we work well”. Both of you were lying, it’s fine.

You need a certification from a bullshit company like AWS or Azure (not actually useful certs like forklift mind you, please do stay secure). Don’t fucking pay for it, tell them you had the opportunity to follow the classes but we’re too busy with work to pass the exam! Sure you don’t have the paper to show for it but you know what you’re talking about! And you’re such a great candidate why would you like to them about that?

Lie through your teeth everytime you get the chance, because they’re doing it too. Worse case scenario? They find out and never call you back. Oh no! The thing they were going to do if you didn’t lie!

Rick ,

I do this for every job lol. It always worked out and after they hire you, its much harder to fire you for their petty reasons.

Jo , to nostupidquestions in Why is there such a big thing about prescription opioids when the addiction rate in less than 1% for those who have been prescribed for pain?
@Jo@readit.buzz avatar

Your 1% figure comes from misrepresentation of a 'study', pushed by Purdue and others for criminal gain.

The One-Paragraph Letter From 1980 That Fueled the Opioid Crisis

Purdue Pharma, which makes OxyContin, starting using the letter’s data to say that less than one percent of patients treated with opioids became addicted. Pain specialists routinely cited it in their lectures. Porter and Jick’s letter is not the only study whose findings on opioid addiction became taken out of context, but it was one of the most prominent. Jick recently told the AP, “I’m essentially mortified that that letter to the editor was used as an excuse to do what these drug companies did.”

Don't get me wrong, pain is miserable and treatment needs to be better. But around 80% of opioid addictions start with prescriptions for people in genuine pain. What percentage of prescriptees that is, I don't know. But it's not a trivial issue, and it is a very difficult problem to solve.

@SpezCanLigmaBalls@lemmy.world avatar

I have a friend who is in school for being a nurse and she had an exam and one of the questions was about this percentage which is why I brought this up because less than 1% was the correct answer. She told me this figure since she knows I’m on em. Is this school just completely in the wrong then for teaching this to nursing students and I’m sure doctors etc?

Im1Random , to selfhosted in Welcome to [email protected] - What do you selfhost?

I host:

  • docker-mailserver
  • code-server
  • Vaultwarden
  • Flame Dashboard
  • FreePad
  • Gotify
  • Nextcloud
  • Baikal
  • Mosquitto
  • HomeAssistant

  • 4 Websites via Nginx
  • a few services that I wrote myself

I think that should be it. I left out some less important ones and probably forgot a few that I don’t use that often. All these services are spread across 2 servers at home and a small VPS mainly used for the mailserver and Uptime Kuma.

athes ,

Honeygain etc… First time I hear about them. Do you mind sharing how much you get?

Im1Random ,

It really depends on the type of IP you have and your location, but it’s really not much for me. From Honeygain I get like 20 bucks every 6 months and when paying out the money around 4$ get lost by transaction fees, but better than nothing and those services use so few resources, you don’t even notice them running in the background.

hadek ,

you might want to check honeygain’s network calls, because I had it running and then suddenly noticed my IP got banned on quite a few websites.

Turns out it was my honeygain traffic that caused it, I quickly uninstalled it after that.

Im1Random ,

Which websites are you referring to? I never noticed any problems from the sites I use. Only when I encounter any kind of captcha I always have to manually select images and it will never solve itself like some did in the past. But not sure if thats due to me not being logged in with Google in my main browser or if it’s caused by Honeygain.

DougHolland , to reddit in Pro-tip: use a libreddit mirror when linking to a Reddit thread
@DougHolland@lemmy.world avatar

This is good to know and could be something I’d use a lot, but it isn’t working. Every Reddit address I try it on, the reply is “Nothing here. Head back home?”

Does the page need to be pre-prepared, like a web.archive.org address?

Larsa ,
@Larsa@lemmy.world avatar

You could try another instance. Here’s a list for you github.com/libreddit/…/instances.md

Or you could get this add-on and have it do it for you github.com/libredirect/browser_extension

Okay, I managed to get it to work by writing my own Containerfile

olrik , to piracy in Why is thepiratebay not in the megathread, despite being so much better?
@olrik@kbin.social avatar

Why not go private? alpharatio, mac-torrents, myanonamouse, PTP, BTN, RED, there are plenty of options.

theUnlikely ,

Suggesting PTP and BTN to someone who has never used private trackers before is a bit mean.

olrik ,
@olrik@kbin.social avatar

Yeah I guess I'm old, I've been on those for 10+ years and didn't realise they don't allow new members. My bad (no irony, I am actually 42 years old).

theUnlikely ,

PTP recently became possible again via RED but it is a loooong road for a new comer.

CmdrShepard ,

Meh these places seem like little more than a exclusive club that members can lord over the outsiders. I’ve had little issue finding content using a mix of ‘B tier’ private trackers and public sites, none of which had some long convoluted membership process. I don’t think they’re worth the trouble.

Wow, you actually fucked your boss!

smoke_bird , to nostupidquestions in Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?

Higher interest rates means they have more pressure to start being profitable is my guess.

You can get seat spacers on Amazon.

Kaiser , to youshouldknow in YSK Defibrillators doesn't restart a stopped heart
@Kaiser@lemmy.world avatar

The other thing they don’t say during cpr class is that the resuscitation rate for an out of hospital cardiac arrest is 9.1%.

One of the biggest factors in survivability is the time to initiate CPR in the time the compressions are interrupted. My EMS department has moved away from a AHA to high performance CPR. 

Vorticity ,

What is an AHA and what is high performance CPR?

Maybe you were searching for the whole term? Maybe search was local vs all? Who knows community searches can be wonky.

I like to connect an external drive and make backups on it. If your Vaultwarden die, unless your devices are de-authorised (or try to update the URL), you can access the vault and export the data.
