Yeah that might be a good selling point for Discord. So far I haven’t really felt at home in Discord’s UI paradigm, but I also haven’t found any ”must-have” communities there eithe…

I mainly hang out in two Slack communities, both quite high-volume. The first one is public but regional (not in English), the other one is invite-only but quite big. For people wh…

In general, the best online conversations I read/participate in take place on Slack.

It’s not about the the browser. As others have pointed out, in order to use these sites without getting messages like “please upgrade your Adobe Flash plugin”, one needs to use an …

Is that in the US? ISPs seems to be quite weird over there (:

Yeah that sucks. The streaming sites are often user-hostile. And their selection of quality movies is not terribly impressive.

Interesting! How does that work? i.e. where does Qbittorrent get the results from? Would be cool if that could be done outside of Qbittorrent (for those of us who uses other client…

Yep. And that’s not really a selling point in favour of the convenience of torrents…

Torrenting definitely is possible. But based on my own experiences I would definitely not call it convenient. Still very useful though, since there are lots of older movies that ar…

I’m not so sure about that. According to [0] the domain x1337x·eu should be a real mirror, and it definitely has ads. [0] https://1337x-to.github.io/domains

Well, sure. But it’s very hard these days to find torrents without jumping through lots of nasty hoops. Especially now that RARBG has ceased to operate. The other day I was trying …

It’s entirely possibly to have ADHD and opt out of medication. If it’s appropriate or not is very individual though, probably not something we can settle on a message board.

Meditate • Read HN • Read the newspaper (mostly online, sometimes on paper) • Read more about upcoming trends/best-practices/improvements stuff • Grab a coffe, either in the office…

Good question. I can see that being an issue in the US. In my case, I actually work in IT rather than tech. Equity is never part of the deal. I think equity is much more common for…

Ouch. There are definitely pitfalls along this path. And if the manager doesn’t understand what the deal implies I’m sure it can be very hard and stressful. Too bad it didn’t work …

I can understand why you feel that way. But many companies simply doesn’t want to talk to people who wants to work part-time. (As in ”don’t call us, we’ll call you”.) So even if it…

Wow. Sounds pretty great. I’ve generally thought of startups as quite stressful work places – might not be the case for all of them though?

Cool! I’ve heard about Ferriss book but haven’t read it. Is it good?

Cool! Sounds like a good deal. Having an understanding manager really helps I guess. I also have three kids so I know the struggle :)

Cool! How does one find such a great employer? ;-)

Location is Stockholm, Sweden and I’ve done lots of IT support kind of work, but very recently transitioned to doing more of sysadmin kind of work for a small MSP (Managed Service …

Thank you!

Yeah it would probably help if I get better at identifying work that is actually high-value. It’s kinda easy to fall in to the trap of doing busywork that demands lots of hours but…

Yeah it could perhaps be easier if I manage to transition to a niche (or two) that is in high and stable demand.

Sounds like a good deal. Are you a developer or some other role?
