Wearing a helmet and a hat while biking

I always want to wear a baseball cap while wearing a helmet so I can have it when I arrive at place so I can offset my helmet hair. But my helmet is really uncomfortable with a bb cap in the way. I don't want to carry a bag with the hat in it and I outworn my beanies. Would it look stupid to place the cap on the handlebars or clip the cap into the strap of the helmet to carry it while riding? Does anybody have a good solution to wearing baseball caps with a helmet?

Hey y'all, Caller ID

Hey this might be a stupid question but has anyone here found a good solution to finding caller IDs? I will usually send numbers without a contact associated to my voicemail but I'm getting random numbers and no voicemails recently. I tried other apps for my phone service but the basic GrapheneOS phone app works for most of my needs. Let me know your tips and tricks! Thanks!

Virtual recruiter event

Hey I've been studying and using various tech and programming frameworks for years. I don't know the best way to leverage my experience to recruiters and I'm afraid of choking in an interview and not getting a job I really thought I wanted. What have been some tips and advice you received that helped you push past your anxieties? I feel like I'm starting from nowhere when I read job descriptions online for code debugger or data infrastructure engineers. I run a self hosted server and I'm proficient in terminal and diagnosing errors through logs. Would recruiters be interested in hearing the ways I solved problems more than my applicable education? Also does anybody have stories of job fairs that went well or went bad?

If this isn't topical to c/tech let me know and I will post this somewhere else

I got out easy, I'm assuming

I fell off my ebike and broke my collarbone. In the immense pain and fear I was in I went to emergency clinic that forwarded me to an ER. I received no care at this ER and only sat in a bed for 4 hours before they discharged me. I've been refreshing my claims page for my government subsidized insurance for abt a month waiting for the other foot to drop. I have to pay $620 dollars in copays I don't have. How is the American healthcare system so broken? Also why would any doctor recommend going to an ER? I will also loose my benefits if my premium rates rise since Trump and Congress want to give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy. I knew the system would come for me eventually, there is no escape.

ADVICE: Running out of storage

Hi, I'm self hosting a jellyfin server and I wondering if anyone could give advice abt my setup. I have an internal 2tb ssd and I'm using a external 2tb ssd. I'm looking to make my setup more cohesive and less of a headache. I want more storage for media but I don't know where to start. I looked online to price compare drives and I saw a 14tb hhd for $160, is this a good price for a hard drive? I also haven't been able to make tdarr work with my gpu so most of my media is probably taking more space than it needs. Any advice would be appreciated!

Advise: I broke my collarbone

Hi my little stinker loves cuddles and sleeping on chest. He doesn't notice the massive pain I feel when he steps directly on the fracture. How do I train him not to sleep on my sling side? I threw him off of me when he caused a jab of pain throughout my body but that was mean and he didn't learn to be gentle. ,

USA Use the Road Fee for EV Car owners

My husband and I have own our Nissan Leaf since 2023 and apparently in 2024 Congress passed a second registration fee on all EV cars. So on top of our annual $50 (increased from last year) registration, we also are required if we want to own an electric vehicle to pay the government $200! What the actual FUCK! This is so much bullshit for literally the future of automotive travel. We've saved so much on gas that the Leaf has already paid us back but that's some serious financial power armed against citizens who are trying to reduce their carbon footprint. Just needed to rant because we got the bill yesterday in the mail
