Do you have any annoying you want to get rid off, but you can't because of reasons?
I do. They are 4, but for now I'll talk about the gold medal winner.
When we met about 8-9 ago, she had just come back to town due to some very bad personal experience (not her fault). Anyway, she is polite, but her major flaw is that she is pushy. REAL BAD! And she gets mad when other people (including me) try to do it on her. Another one is having calls during random inappropriate times, because she had fight #N with her boyfriend, and last but not least, she will call when needs something out of someone.
Lately, her project is finding us a job, since we're both unemployed. Any job. The sad part is when she sends me job ads for dev jobs I don't qualify, e.g. Company X is looking for a dev with Y year of experience, knowing A, B, C & D technologies. I've told her that I don't qualify for most of the dev jobs she sends me, but she insists I should send my CV anyway, cause of reasons. Also, for some reason, I should be accounted to her for all my current choices when what I would honestly say is "BUG OFF".
Her latest endeavour is getting me one of her friends (a psychologist) as a "client". Her friend wants to have a professional website with writing posts/articles as a side dish. I'm not registered as a freelancer, so everything will be done under the counter, and her friend is OK with that. I'm no web developer, but I didn't refuse because of her backlash and also that would be a positive experience for me. Now, the juicy part. She gave her my phone number without my permission and she told me straight away. Her plan was having the three of us meet, though I don't know why and I didn't want her being around. I asked her to call me immediately, which it didn't happen. After being pestered by my friend for a couple of weeks if her friend called me, she finally did it on Monday. She didn't say to me anything I didn't know, but at least I have her phone now.
What I can offer her is a website skeleton with the usabilities she's asking. What I can't offer her is graphics/banner and security. And now I have to come up with reasonable price. Teams here ask 400-600€ for a complete website the way she asks, including VAT. I'm thinking around 100€ and I don't know when I can deliver the project. I've had some experience with Ruby and Sinatra, so I'll go with that, and I'll learn CSS along the way.
Thanks for reading till the end! 😃4 -
Been doing java for years now, and finally got to trying out an IDE. Been using VIM and notepad++ for ages, and tried Netbeans. It honestly frustrates me, is this where it's at, or is there something a bit more user friendly? Google yes I know, but Googles opinions are about as reliable as Bill Clinton around Monica Lewinski6

You don’t realize how much trust you place in technology until it fails you or until someone exploits it. I learned this the hard way when my crypto wallet, containing over $87,000 in Bitcoin and Ethereum, was drained in an instant. A clever scam disguised as an official update cost me everything I had worked so hard to save.
At first, I believed what everyone said: “Once it’s gone, it’s gone.” The blockchain doesn’t forgive mistakes, and recovery felt like a fantasy. But desperation pushed me to keep looking, and that’s when I found DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES. From the start, they were different: no false promises, no hype, just a practical and transparent approach. They explained how stolen funds could be traced, even through the complexity of blockchain transactions.
What followed was nothing short of incredible. Their team worked tirelessly, tracking the stolen assets step by step, wallet by wallet. They coordinated with exchanges, flagged suspicious accounts, and kept me updated at every turn. It felt like they were as invested in getting back my funds as I was.
Weeks later, I got the email I thought I’d never see: “We’ve recovered your funds.” Seeing my wallet balance restored felt like a second chance at everything I thought I’d lost. It wasn’t just about the money it was about reclaiming my future and finding hope again.
DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES didn’t just recover my cryptocurrency; they gave me the ability to move forward without the weight of that loss holding me back. If you’ve lost crypto and feel like there’s no hope, don’t give up. There are people who know how to fight for you. I’m living proof that even in the world of crypto, recovery is possible with the right team.
