Good days and bad days. I have a car, place to live, food in my fridge and cupboards and money in my bank account. Maybe one day I'll be able to pick up and move somewhere cheaper but in the meantime, one day at a time.

Some days I honestly don't know. I work for AWS in one of their many data centers as a critical facilities technician.

3-4 hours a day, working minimum 12 hour shifts, usually 13-14, 4 days a week, 3 days when I can.

Looks great for a first attempt!

My thumbs used to bend back 90° or more but after years of abusing them and a few injuries, severed tendon here and there, they only bend forwards and straight up now :/

The last self checkout I used, a store associate took my things and scanned them for me....it was a strange self checkout experience

It may not be ok, but certainly better than rape. They may have passed on another form of trauma to their kids like every generation before and it may have taken quite a long time but they did finally make things and each other better. Which I think is a good relationship in my book.

From my understanding anyway. Not gonna proclaim to be some Ozzy Osbourne biographer or something.

As someone that works in a data center, we use an absolute shit ton of reclaimed water for evaporative cooling. 😀

No. Put real world examples of your work. Homelab shit, word some shit you did for friends or family as work experience. Anything that isn't just an outright lie.

Just to help make you feel a bit better about your job hunt, I finally got a position with AWS after some 6 years of actively sending out applications and resumes to anyone and everyone. In the end what got me the job (I think) is real experience and good understanding of the basics needed for my position. No real experience in my new role but a lot of related experiences in previous. Also a lot of practice with Amazon's STAR method of story telling, it really helps lay down the information that interviewers want to get out of you, even if they aren't Amazon.

It also doesn't hurt to find and get certifications! There's quite a few out there and can be gotten fairly easily and cheaply (and some not so cheaply lol)

This 1000%. I picked up a t480s a number of years ago and I couldn't be happier with it. Came with a half dead battery that was easily replaced. Lasts a good 6 hours on a charge and does everything I need a laptop to do.

lol I feel small and inadequate.

Have you had much in the way of bad luck with the move being done piecemeal?

 

Hi selfhosted community,

I’m in the process of moving across the country and need some advice on the best way to transport my server equipment safely. I have a 15U server rack, a 2U server, a 1U server, a 2U UPS, a 1U PDU, a 1U network switch, a 1U network router, and a 1U patch panel. I’m planning to pack everything into a 4×8 U-Haul trailer along with the rest of my bedroom, desk, and computer equipment.

I ran a few queries into a couple LLMs and they basically say to pack everything in the rack and secure it down. I just couldn't see that working out at all. Figured I might get some human input.

Here are a few questions I have:

  • Packing: What’s the best way to pack these items to ensure they don’t get damaged during transport? Should I use bubble wrap, foam, or just some moving blankets?
  • Securing: I've got plenty of ratchet straps but is there any other - options I should be aware of?
  • Anything else I'm not thinking of atm?

Additional Tips: Any other advice for transporting sensitive electronic equipment would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to your suggestions.
