  • In my early 20’s (like 21-22) I worked in a work environment that is notoriously big for everyone giving each other shit at work (trades and labouring).

    One thing I picked up on very fast was that you had to set those limits on how much crap you can take as a joke. It also made it really easy to know when an actual fight was about to break out because both parties would step over those lines immediately haha.

    Anyway, I’ve done this at every job since and personally I’ve never had an issue with workplace bullying or anything. I swear the workplace is just the schoolyard for adults lol



  • Depends on the cert and the environment you are already in.

    For example, I’m an IT Consultant, we kind of rely on ‘professional certs’ to get work at client projects, especially if a project is covering specific niches and we have consultants that have certifications within those niches.

    Also, many of the more mainline certs can definitely be worth getting (especially in the early career stages), as a quick example some of the CompTIA certs like Networking+ (a colleague got his job with us solely with that cert btw)


  • Am I reading the correct bit?

    Chapter 24, section 5 - Eavesdropping

    A person who unlawfully listens to or records with a technical device

    1. a discussion, talk or other sounds of private life, where these are not intended for his or her knowledge and which occur or arise in a place covered by the right to domestic privacy, or
    2. secretly, elsewhere than in a place covered by the right to domestic privacy, talk that is not intended for his or her knowledge or for the knowledge of any other third parties, where the circumstances are such that the speaker has no reason to believe that a third party is listening shall be sentenced for eavesdropping to a fine or to imprisonment for at most one year.

    An attempt is punishable.

    This to me seems like it reads against what you are saying no?

    EDIT: And actually, isn’t this more about an unknown third party anyway?















  • I just want to preface this by saying this is completely off the top of my head, so I may be slightly off, please do your own research before running anything blindly.

    You may need to enable the service. Do a quick reboot, and then check the status of Network manager:

    sudo systemctl status NetworkManager

    If you see that is says Disabled (usually in red text) then you will indeed need to enable it. First start the service:

    sudo systemctl start NetworkManager

    And then so it starts when you boot in, we finally enable:

    sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager

    Once that’s done, test by rebooting again and hopefully it should be up and running :)
