Unlikely to be section 174

> Google: the tax change was minimal, because Google was voluntarily amortizing software development expenses for most staff, already. This was for all projects that reached “technological feasibility,” which is a milestone products pass before public release.

> Social media doesn’t just operate at the individual level. Because it is a communication tool used by groups of people, it impacts even those who don’t use it. If a teen girl decides not to use social media and tries get together with her friends more frequently – as if it’s 1988 again – she’s unlikely to be successful. The norm for social interaction changed even for the few teens who resisted social media or used it sparingly.

damned if you do and damned if you don't

> Focus on your physical self: make sure you've gotten enough sleep, have food ready to go for lunch, and have breaks between the interviews if possible. If the interviewer asks if you need a minute at the start, and you do - please take it.

This is great advice! I interviewed in 2022 and found that I performed significantly better when well rested. I also found that eating healthy helped during the post-lunch interviews.

Thanks for sharing your experience.


I ordered a ball on FK and a week later I got an email saying that my order was canceled due to lack of stock. This has happened to me on Amazon as well, but the difference was that the email from Amazon came in a day or two.


What are you using now?


Firefox Developer Edition primarily because of the theme :)


Agreed, no doubt. Just a quick start guide for beginner packages.


I've added the limitation of this! Thanks for the feedback. That didn't strike me at all.


That's the motivation behind writing this. I've edited to include that this is for personal use only. I've found debian.org guides difficult to read as well. Thanks for the feedback!


Those are definitely better links, but a while back I needed a quick guide to make something that worked on private servers. I couldn't find a quickstart guide, so I decided to make one. Thanks for the feedback!


You really should take more care of servers :)

What does Debian miss that you need for your servers (I am really interested).

Also for quick and dirty you could use checkinstall.

There is also a good tutorial on DigitalOcean about fpm:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-...

And just maybe me nitpicking too much but the title should be then "How to quickly create deb package for personal needs". Notice that this means you don't get Debian Security support for your own package so that can be a huge breaker for many people running servers :)


I wasn't aware of the DigitalOcean tutorials and the tutorials on debian.org (at least the ones I saw) were pretty dense. I wanted to just package it up and get it running within a few hours (quick dirty install as you said) and couldn't use anything else due to external constraints.

I agree with the modified title suggestion and have changed the title of my blog post.

Thanks for your feedback! :)


You welcome and thanks for taking suggestions into account.

For simple things you probably want to use in future more of checkinstall (to keep it easier for yourself the creation, installation and removal part):

CheckInstall looks nice! I'll definitely take it into account next time I need a quick package done. I've also added it to my post. Thanks!
