Got my first job interview in like five years so I'm doing practice interview questions and... what the fuck. I've been doing dev stuff for 10 years, and apparently can't answer the stuff juniors are expected to know nowadays. No wonder the industry is in shambles.
Either that or I'm just like actually bad but I feel like if I were I wouldn't have been word-of-mouthed for as much freelance stuff as I did

Might not interest everyone, but I made a little video on how to turn a regular Playstation into a Net Yaroze. I'll be turning this into a full series about PSX development, so give it a look if you're interested!

I'm generally pleased with how these videos are coming out since I'm still a beginner at making them and stuff but GOD I need to start voice training soon

I've built myself a rig using pre-Intel ME hardware and running Windows XP/Linux on it to avoid every bit of tracking I can but I can't talk about this stuff without sounding absolutely fucking insane

Honestly I'm not like. Out:TM: socially yet IRL and have no idea how to even approach that but in the meantime, goddamn there's so much conflicting info about what HRT does if I go that route. The only solid consensus seems to be
Pros: boobs
Cons: be less tall

Turned a five minute video on how to make a cable into a half hour long rant about PSX models, RS232, and EEPROM programming... how did this happen.

Treated myself to some old hardware. Q6600, SLI 8800GTX, DDR2 RAM. Putting XP and Vista on there. It predates Intel ME, so I think this is the oldest (and coolest) tech I can get that doesn't have SOME sort of corpo bullshit in it nowadays.

Achievement unlocked, actually posted my first YT video. Unfortunately, my brain also feels incredibly mushy and I can't tell if it's because the weather is heating up again and I'm not drinking enough, or if I'm not getting enough sleep or what.

So, while I've been going through the tech interview process this week, I thought I'd write up some stuff about why I think it's so broken and some possible things that the tech industry could do to fix it.
The solutions document is still a WIP, but I've got some things there to look at anyway.

Today's fun, unexplainable thing: Disconnecting the VPN on my desktop lags out everyone connected to my Minecraft server, despite the Minecraft server not running from my desktop and me not generating any heavy network traffic that needs to handle reconnections.
What the fuck?

A fun part of my current job hunting adventures is a lot of the stuff relevant to my degree requires a security clearance, but I also change online ident semi-frequently and live in the arse crack of nowhere so I don't get any IRL social interaction. This is making it surprisingly difficult to scrounge up 10 years worth of referees so I can't apply for anything needing that needs an SC interview, which is 90% of potential jobs.
Annoying!

Forgot to backup my laptop's bookmarks before installing Linux and lost 5 months of research lol
The worst part is I already remembered why I don't use Linux and I'm just switching back to Windows after a couple hours
