How much work is it reasonable to ask for in a take-home "code challenge" during hiring?
Does it matter when they occur in the hiring process (i.e., whether they're being used as a first-pass technical screen or whether they're only being presented to candidates who've already passed a couple rounds of interviews)? Does it vary with the seniority of the position?

Ask: How easy is it to find all references to a type in the codebase you're working on right now?
Hi Lobsters, I thought this might be an interesting poll: In the language/environment/codebase that you're working on at the moment, how easy is it to find all places where a variable might be used? If an exact answer is impossible, how easy is it to find the most likely set? Does the language...

Cheapest box that can handle 100mpbs+ VPN duties for my home network?
Looking for something to be my SSH bastion box and Wireguard server. - Not against scouring Ebay/homelabsales etc. - Could be x86 or ARM. - Ideally this box would be very power efficient so getting a giant/cheap rack mounted server isn't what I'm looking for. I've looked at a few used [alix2d3](h...

Optimizing home network performance
I’m not a networking guru, but I know a lot of fellow crustaceans are. At home, my network performance between devices on local WiFi is pretty terrible. I was trying to backup ~20gb of data using syncthing and it was copying at 120kbps for two computers in the same room, but fast.com says I’m gettin...
Home network recommendations?
Hello Lobsters! Due to COVID-19, I've been working from my apartment and doing a lot more video chats from there. While my aging ASUS RT-N66U can generally handle the traffic, I definitely have some dead zones and think it's time for an upgrade. I thought this topic might be of broad enough inter...
What do you use for your home networking setup?
I'm moving from an apartment into a house soon and have been looking into getting the house wired so I can have access points in multiple places without being limited by the mesh wifi setups. However, I'm not sure what hardware (or software, if that's a separate thing like pfSense) to use. In the...
