Anyone ever swap careers from Corporate to Non-Profit or some other Cause: If so, how?

I worked in the food industry for a while before returning back to school to get a degree in tech thinking it would be my path to a better life. While at first I thought where my career was taking me provided exactly that, I’m absolutely miserable working a corporate job in tech. I’ve seen several layoffs, AI is taking over,...

Icarus,

I’ve been at my current job, which is a nonprofit in the social services industry for 10 years. I didn’t intentionally choose this industry but j found I’m very comfortable here. It can be a stressful job at times, but what job isn’t.

Theres no money in most non profits. However I’ve never hated my job the biggest downside aside from salary, I don’t have the budget, tools, or resources to do what I’d like at times. I also tend to wear every hat in our small IT dept. A distinct difference I’ve found in the non profits I’ve worked for is company culture is so much better. Ymmv depending on the industry and size, but people who stick with the company are usually in it for the mission. This tends to weed out the “bad eggs”.

I have a hard time stepping away from my job even tho j could easily make $50k more at a for profit company. I’m not sad about my choices even tho I’d certainly like to be paid more. I don’t live to work though, and the job doesn’t demand it of me so it makes for a decent work/life balance.

Icarus,

Balsamic drizzle on some pesto pizza, now that sound a like a winner,

I don’t do much with bash since I primarily do windows admin, but I run into the same issue with powershell.

I have a document in VSCode that I store frequently used commands and any kind of notation/documentation I need to take advantage of it in the future. It’s a lot of one or two liners for stuff I know I’m going to forget, like the once a month hyperv cluster update command 😂.

Similarly I’ve added functions to the powershell local and global profiles on my computer/group policy. (contextually similar to bashrc, bash_profile, that load when launching interactive or non interactive shells, as well as user context) That way i can easily execute repeptive commands without having to think!

Basically, I think we all have the same problem and we’ve forgotten more than we know lol

Icarus,

Valheim at msrp. So. Many. Hours. Such a fantastic game.

Icarus,

Radish is super common in Southern California at Mexican places. They’re often served raw and pickled. They work surprisingly well with all the flavors. Thanks for backing me up!

Now go make some reverse seared steak nachos 😁

Icarus,

I used my nacho leftovers to make tacos today after picking up some meat from a carniciera!

I typically use parchment paper for everything. The cleanup wasn’t too bad, somehow my sheetpan remains fairly stick-free even after the abuse I frequently put it through, though I admit after I saw the mess on the sheetpan after the food was eaten, I had regretted not using parchment lol.

I did two-layers of chips with some sauce, and lots of cheese, on the first layer and second layer. I loaded the top layer with all the rest of the fixings and left a hole in the center for the guacamole and sour cream. I wanted no chip to be dry and disappointing!

Icarus,

Nachos are life, nachos are love. Maybe taco salad aspires to be nachos?

Icarus,

Lodge’s enameled cast iron pots are great. The enamel is made in China, but surprisingly so are some staub and Le creusets.

Icarus,

I saw them open for Devin Townsend and Dream Theater a month ago. Their set was phenomenal. I was so excited to see them live!

Icarus,

I’m about the same. Last switch was yahoo to Gmail and now I’m in the process of switching from Gmail to Proton Mail. The most difficult part was the mental switch - which email you start giving out when you sign up. Second was migrating services. I made it a point for a while each time I logged into something knew I would switch the primary email. Its been a long process!

Icarus,

For everyone’s sake it might be best to refuse to support the application because of the security risks with such an outdated program.

What non-FOSS software are you using that you wish you could replace?

For me its honestly a ton of my work software (digital forensics), shit is too niche to be replaced by good FOSS options. Cellebrite, Magnet Axiom, etc. Autopsy is great and free and has a linux version but it simply cannot get the same level of data without a pretty nutty level of custom code....

If you haven’t checked out Pop!_OS I’d recommend giving it a try. While I’m using a system76 laptop so they guarantee hardware compatibility, it’s been one of the smoothest and most functional DE/guis I’ve used. Ive never had to resort to a command line* and aaalllmost everything you’d expect to find exists in the gui.

*caveat. Except for some really esoteric problems, which are usually a result of my own tinerking

Icarus,

I’ve always been intrigued by some of these ‘unusual’ grilled items such as cabbage and fruits. Really need to just try it out and see if I’ll be pleasantly surprised!

I love grilled veggies in general though. Zucchini and eggplant are my goto.

Icarus,

God I love that no waste carnitas recipe! It’s so good! Those tacos look fabulous! Thanks for sharing the recipe to your additions.

I love making Chilequilas for breakfast when I make that carnitas recipe because I have practically every thing for it already.

Icarus,

Having met a few people who could manage to catch boiling water on fire, there are definitely people out there for who cooking is challenging. Though I don’t disagree that cooking has an incredibly low barrier to entry so there’s no excuse in trying 🤣

Where did all the Sriracha go? Sauce shortage hiking prices to $70 in online markets (www.cbsnews.com)

tl;dr: sriracha is selling for ~$40-$70 a bottle due to a shortage of red jalapeño crops, caused by climate change (specifically, extremely hot, dry weather as well as landslide effects from various climate events in the previous years). huy fong says sriracha is resuming limited production but did not specify when this...

Icarus,

Every news article is about their Sriracha which I’m honestly not in love with. What I am sad about is there’s also a shortage of sambal oelek cause theirs is amazing. I haven’t found a good replacement 😭

Icarus,

My girlfriend and I really like Trails and we take it with us to bars pretty frequently!

Its like a baby Parks game, and has a few mechanisms I thought would really do well in Parks (which apparently the designers felt the same because they released a new expansion which adds a few Trails like features)

Icarus,

Yeah, being able to skip ahead spaces helps reduce some of the first player advantage, especially over the course of the game. We have also found our end game scores to typically be very close. We have frequently tied and had to resort to the 2nd and 3rd scoring (birds and number of cards). Except the last game. I steamrolled her 🤣

Icarus,

I am awaiting Sleeping Gods! I bought it with the recent Kickstarter and nearly went all in. But I'm really into thematic story telling and I thjnk the campaign nature will be good for me and my gf to come back to over time.

Icarus,

Absolute yes to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice!

Icarus,

My last two laptops have been System76 models. The first time I didn’t really love Pop!_OS but the most recent laptop I gave it another shot and it’s come a long way. Really enjoying it overall (still prefer KDE over gnomey stuff tho, lol)

Icarus,

Do you know if this is some specific allergy or a general food sensitivity? I am sensitive to fructans, which are a FODMAP in all of those foods, except the green parts of an alium (garlic, scallion, onion, leek). I take an enyzme called Fodzyme which helps me digest fructan rich foods when I can’t avoid it.

Overtime I have gotten into the habit of eating vegetarian food more often, and the majority of what I cook is vegetarian. My girlfriend sees the lack of a main protein the reason she doesn't feel satisfied with eating a vegetarian meal. Is there a good cookbook or resource that has recipes that can help satisfy that?
