In the UK to own a gun you need to have a good reason to do so. This is usually by being a member of a gun club, and getting a license to own a gun. Once you have a club membership…

Not really all that exciting a story. Small enough company with an even smaller IT team, with management who aren't at all aware of what IT actually do and an ethos of "just stick …

Finishing up at my current employer as a Software Dev. Been here for nearly 4 years, which is about 4 years too long and I am at my absolute limit. On the good news is I am also le…

Wait until you hear about CAPWAP!

I used an AMD Radeon 7770 for years, then I upgraded to a GTX 1060, the 7770 became my younger sister's GPU for her PC. It has only recently gave out, after some 14 years of servic…

They haven't violated GDPR. You are not a European citizen, you do not reside in the EU, GDPR only applies to those physically within a country within the EU. Same is true for EU c…

This is amazing news! I've just gotten my seafarers medical and my C-1/D visa for a job in shipping. Perfect timing!

I kinda went through this when I joined my current employer. My boss's emails were (are) at worst unintelligible and best hard to follow, weirdly formatted and generally hard to gr…

I dont think people fully realise how novel Stripe actually is. The idea of capturing payments via an API itself isn't unique, but the fact that as a company Stripe is actually on …

I mean the RIRA is a splinter group of the PIRA which had massive funding from overseas, especially from the United States. PIRA was not a small-time group.

Hearing some of these stories of Belfast its hard to believe. Flew out of both Belfast International and Belfast City airports last year and they are by far the best airports I hav…

I put my Linkedin and my Twitter, don't bother with politicking on my Twitter and my LinkedIn is a hollow sad looking profile. Didn't realise it was optional and just put it in. Ca…

Does the ESTA not already require social media? I recall having to provide stuff like that when I applied for mine a few months back

We have some basic endpoint security (Huntress) and DNS filtering (Was Cisco OpenDNS, something else now but not a clue what it is as I never installed the client). We used to have…

Cannot wait for another version of Lua to sit unused basically everywhere. Truly is a shame, everything seems to have settled on 5.1 for the most part without ever being updated, o…

Ooh very nice. Going to keep an eye on this, because while qlabs is nice, it certainly is up there in price for some features I require. Just had to spend nearly 100$ on renting it…

I have recently taken a job with an American based company and will need to complete a few weeks training in Miami. Based on the information they have given me I need a B1 visa and…

My understanding of the B-1 visa is all you really need is a letter of employment. Might get tricky with you providing the letter of employment to yourself however.

All these people talking about voluntarily giving their kid Linux. When I was 12 or so my Dad installed Linux on my laptop as punishment because I kept installing viruses on Window…

"I'm sorry you feel that way" was literally the first thing I ever got taught when doing front of house/customer service training. Its definitely a super common phrase, at least in…

It does and doesn't. You can have any arbitrary index, but that changes the table from being an array to being both an array and a dictionary, some real weird Frankenstein stuff

Best part about gov id, there is no link between accounts. I have my personal gov ID account, I have my director of a business gov ID account and I also have a gov ID account for t…
