So todays my bday, devrant still has no https cert,
i started playing Ultrakill (got it off from steamrip.com)

I continued to code a bit, ill make my engine good enough to have the speed of Quake and Ultrakill.

This week, I got an email from my local college advertising some education possibilities that would take 75-150 hours depending on the course. One of them does interest me a lot but now I am wondering what it is better (offensive cybersecurity).

A) follow that course at that college (still WFH)
B) follow similar courses online, possibly cheaper but maybe less credentials on my CV/resume.

Judging by the duration, it's certainly not enough to do it professionally. But it will certainly make my resume stand out a bit more.

Picture of an EXTREMELY early stage of an android devRant client (since the official one no longer works due to the certificate expiration).
Threw this in just a few hours so it's super bare bones and just a proof of concept for myself currently, there is no APK, this isn't even an alpha.
I absolutely do not have time for fun projects so I can't promise anything time wise, if I'll have time I'll try to make it at least usable enough for an alpha build to send here on the next weekend.
(Perhaps will even find an hour or two here or there in the middle of the week)

I sincerely appologize for my lack of time, I would've absolutely loved to start this earlier, and to finish a MVP for y'all (and myself) to use as soon as possible.

Currently it uses 'dr.molodetz.nl' as a "quick and easy" solution for the certificate thingy (so know that data and credentials move through a "thrid-party"), but once I'm having an app that is usable (minimally) I'm planning to switch back to devrant.com but with certificate pinning.

P.S. If anybody has got any tips or advice for android development, write in the comments, I would appreciate anything because I fucking HATE android development and it makes me feel like a monkey smashing a computer with a wrench hoping shit will work. Not my first android app, but even though I've made a few android apps in the past(real apps for actual use, not "template" apps for portfolio or for learning) I still feel like every tiny step is fighting against the framework instead of with it.

I'm bored of everything :
- Minecraft? played it and no more things to do.
- Coding? I'm waiting to buy my new linux desktop.
- Taking a shit? That's a good idea

Jokes aside, im bored and got major, major exams next week.

Maybe ima do a Quake mod (too complicated for my ape brain)
Maybe a Doom mod? Idek what to do.
Maybe... idek

Congrats to everyone on devrant!!!
YOU WON "THE GAME"!!!

Eurovision is the worst cringefest and its made by people who do nothing but cocain and underage girls

So I decided to try a vpn. I got the protonvpn free service. I can see that it changed my ip address. But can I tell if it is encrypting traffic? All the websites I accessed didn't seem to care my location went from the USA to some place in Asia. I would have thought it would force a relogin or look suspicious.

It is wild. reddit rejects tor, but is okay with vpn?

Week: 117 (Year 3)

The first weekend of the very last month of the year. How are you going to spend it?

Question: I watched Conjuring: Last Rites yesterday. Which is your favorite or the scariest scary/horror movie ever?

LinkedIn:

you must have a portefolio to show your skill

Me:

maybe that's true for junior but I don't have a strong portefolio because i have a job

LinkedIn:

I do my portefolio after my working hour. It's about dedication and passion

Me:

When you're dedicated every hour is working hour. If you have time for side projects you're a bad employee.

Outlinkedined

AI flagged the Declaration of Independence as being 99.9% AI generated.

Well, the crown considers the writers to be Actual Insurrectionists. So technically correct.

Also noticed people on linkedin have less humor than on reddit, if at all possible.

So I saw a new fucked up trick a job offering company did. If you view their job offers and want to click on one of them it forces you to sign up to their newsletter. No opt out in small lettering.

What kind of fucked up place forces opting into a news letter to view a job offer?

Job searching in 2018. Not great options, but job providers and sites are still human.

Job searching in 2025. Process is completely devoid of human decency, filled with cunts, and makes you want to die early. Plus there are NO FUCKING JOBS.

"To understand recursion, you must first understand recursion".

I apparently applied to a job at a company that sells "AI employees". They are fully AI, use AI for everything, cursor is mandatory (like no bitch I use vim).

Like why do you need me? Just hire one of your AI employee, idiot

My manager uses Claude chatbot for writing all our user stories while we're on the call with him. It spits out so much shit! He'll say, "let's make sure it hasn't hallucinated anything .. nope"

There's no way he can be reading all that. I'll call out stuff early on, and he'll say "that's wrong, it hallucinated," and fix stuff and remove half of it, but 45 minutes into the story session, I think everyone tunes out.

Implementing this is going to be fucking hell.

Anyone else doing Advent of Code 2025?

Tell me the truth.

Do the curtains match the carpet?

It's so funny how customers like the small and unimportant things. They are impressed by a display of skill rather than skill.

For instance, I needed to quickly create a password. So, I opened my terminal, typed in as always

dd if=/dev/urandom count=500 | base64 -w 0

Then I copied a random chunk of some 200 to 500 chars and copied it as the temporary password and sent it around.

I was told later on that I impressed with my technical know-how and skills...

But I guess, now that I impressed, I can profit of the halo effect.

Guess, take this as PSA. Sound confident. That's more important than being confident. They have no idea what's going on.

Chat GPT is now responding like a stackoverflow user. Great.

@retoor mentions don’t work anymore here in JoyRant. I haven‘t looked into the details yet but I suspect it’s because your mentions service is also affected by the expired certificate?

Did you know that if you boil a funny bone, it becomes a laughing stock?

There is a dead bird in our yard. My wife asked me to clean it up by texting me.

wife: Can you pick up the dead bird in the backyard?
me: Its just resting.
wife: With no head
me: Its a headless swoon
wife: Its dead and needs a new resting place.
me: beautiful plumage

My wife cooked food again. My anus is gonna bleed tomorrow

I was saying chatGPT that backenders were cunt and that at the slightest market low, they're taking all the jobs and suddenly become "full stack" even though they hate javascript. Apparently it violate policy rule whatever. Cunt

I hate backenders I swear to got we should build a wall between us and backenders

Just got a new smartwatch and the first thing i did was using it to measure my heart BPM before, during and after taking a shit?

We believe it takes great input to build a great product, faster than our competition. Are you willing to work hard and work (most) weekends? We understand this is not for everyone / every stage of career, and want to be transparent upfront. *

Imagine being a submissive dicksucka

Updated JoyRant and anti spam bots to ignore the expired certificate.

Week: 116 (Year 3)

Plans for the weekend?

Question: How are you gonna enjoy the upcoming vacation? Assuming December is a chilling month for most of you

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/19386937

Fuck, ppl saying this food someone made states like shrimp. It was chicken. Probably freezer burned and take on flavor of the freezer. I don't know. Nobody got sick yet.

Oh no, devrant cert just expired...
