How the things work

Fun

Algorithms

Security/Cryptography

+ Family 1Password so everyone can securely manage passwords and share logins
+ Network is covered by pihole (and in exchange, plex/jellyfin/etc access works nicely)

+ Smart home stuff is managed by me. Everyone has admin rights but shared terminals (eg kitchen panel) are unpriviledged users.

+ Everyone has a home directory on the homelab they can back up to with as much space as they want (4tb+). I help them set it up if they ask.

+ Haven't done this yet but would like some kind of network level monitoring for threats (viruses, cryptominers, etc)

Things intentionally not done:

+ I don't install anything on folks devices.. at all, but never without their consent and without them having an off switch.

+ We have cams but everyone can turn them off and view recordings. Recordings are kept only for a short timeframe. Cams are all visible/known.

+ I intentionally collect no logs of dns or other stuff. When I do occasionally need to debug an issue, I let everyone know I am flipping on logs for a few minutes.

Empower users, don't control them.

Job hunt/interviews

  • 2022-05-22 Lessons learned from the recent job hunt · Jamie Tanna Software Engineer

    As you may have recently seen, I've recently gone through the interviewing process and joined Deliveroo as a Senior Software Engineer. This was different to my last move to the Cabinet Office, as I only applied for that role, whereas this time I wasn't really sure what I wanted, and so wanted to interview at a few great places and see what felt like a good fit for me.
