    Beehaw is like the Elks Lodge of the Lemmyverse. From the outside they look exclusive, mysterious, and enticing. Inside, there’s just a few drunk guys singing karaoke.

    At least that’s my assumption. They wouldn’t let me in because I refused to write a paragraph about why I wanted to join an instance that I knew virtually nothing about. Even the Elks Lodge wasn’t that picky.



  • I would advise against it. Separation of concerns isn’t important until it is. If your host server is unavailable for any reason, now EVERYTHING is unavailable. Having your server go down is bad. Being unable to browse the internet when your host is down and you’re trying to figure out why is worse.

    There are also risks involved in running your firewall on the same host as all your other VM’s without adding a lot of complex network configurations.


  • Oh yeah. One time I interviewed at this accounting firm and mentioned that I was fairly familiar with SQL, which was a true statement. The VP on the call proceeds to start grilling me about really in depth performance tuning stuff and then acts all flustered when I don’t have the answers. I said “fairly familiar” not “10 years as a database admin”.

    Then they went radio silence for a year, after which they called and asked if I was still looking for a job. Even if I were, I wouldn’t have gone to work for them.

    Technical questions can give you a feel for how familiar a candidate is with a given tech stack. But then there are some people who just get off on making others feel inferior.
