I’ve been unemployed for about 6 months now, and it’s causing me so much financial and mental distress. I’ve been applying everywhere for every position that I’m qualified for, but nobody wants to hire me.
My opportunities are also limited due to not having reliable transportation. I haven’t been able to save money for a car, since my income has never been sufficient or stable enough.
I have about 5 years of experience on my resume, but my work history is very unimpressive. I’ve never held an important position, I have large gaps in employment, and the longest I’ve ever been at a job is just a little over a year.
I just feel like I experience a lot of unnecessary bullshit that wouldn’t necessarily occur if I didn’t stutter. For instance, I was terminated from my position at Amazon because I was accused of being on drugs and having “slurred speech”.
Yes, that really happened. I won’t go into too much detail because that’s not the point of this thread. It’s just one example of what I’ve experienced as a PWS. People also seem to just treat me like I’m dumb or less capable than others.
How many of you are also currently unemployed, and how is it impacting your life?
For those who’ve experienced long-term unemployment or job instability in the past, what advice can you give to those currently going through it?

I'm not all that new to bot making, but ever since j.ai had all those problems with the servers or something, my bots have been different.
instead of using the normal format for chats, with like paragraph spaces and stuff, they just give me one small junk of text. they used to have spaces and be very in detail and stuff, and very long too, but now they're all short; but I haven't changed anything that should have done that.
also, does anyone else still have the whole 'speaking in first person' thing? my bot had never done that, but mine did when that was a problem, but still haven't gone back to normal.
does anybody know a way I can fix this? like something I can copy paste into the example dialogue/personality sections to fix these problems?

When peering with an IXPs route servers, some peers show other members of the IXP show up as peers of a given AS but some don’t. Is there any detail as to why some peerings show publicly in tools like BGP.tools and other IXP members don’t?
I’ve seen in some IXP managers the concept of bi-lateral peering but it seems inconsistent.
As an example, I have a router peered with the IXPs route servers and I see peers from some of the other IXP members showing up publically but it’s only a small subset of the total number of members. I do see the entire set of prefixes and their reported ASNs showing on my router and I’m advertising prefixes back to the route servers as well.
Thoughts?

About me, Job compensation + benefits, CoL for reference

Compensation / Benefits:

• $70,000 Base (salaried, boss doesn't care if I leave early as long as I get work done)
• Work as little time as you want as long as you get the work done. I work 5 hrs a day on average now.
• $10,000-30,000 Profit sharing + Bonuses (directly put into 401k / Roth, company does additional 4x matching for bonuses only; reaching bonuses literally made a senior engineer a multi-millionaire here over 20 years in his 401k).

• Weekly pay.
• Paid maternity + paternity.
• Vacations whenever, just make sure you get your job done on time and let manager know before hand. Any vacation over 1 week must be approved by HR and other management levels. Be reasonable about how often you take it (Senior devs often take 1-2 weeks off every 2 months unless tight deadlines).
• Boss literally told me to go the fuck home when I tried staying overtime out of guilt / confusion.

Cost of Living:

• Low? Breakdown below, idk how to determine.
• Studio apartment + internet + heat + water < $1050.

• Downsides: Extremely car-centric area; no public transportation.

Listen to the goddamn Boomers / Gen X folks here

As much as the older folks are 'behind the times', you need to remember who is still disproportionately in charge of companies and how they are structured, even in the tech sector. Hell, I had my dad (the BOOMIEST BOOMER I know) help me out.
I went to my 7th job fair after graduation about 2-3 months ago (Feb 2024) and my dad came with me as moral support. Just as usual with most job fairs, there isn't anyone there actively recruiting for engineering / IT / software roles because of the current market. BUT, my dad was having a 'fun' chat with the CTO of a random medium sized company and they both hit it off HARD. Both of them were born in the same part of India, went to the same temples there, and they just kept on chatting. Next thing I know, this same CTO came to me and asked if I was competent at engineering and he'd like to interview me on the spot, but sadly his company had no open software roles. I agreed.
I shit you not, this test was this simple and BLEW it:

1. What is Ohms law? (I got this right)
2. What is an inverter? (I got this wrong)
3. What is a diode? What is it's symbol? (I got this right)
4. Explain what an LED is and what it's symbol is. (I got this half right)
5. What is the purpose of a rectifier? (I got this wrong)
6. Questions about embedded C/C++ (I don't even know the language well T.T)

Thing is, the interviewer was really interested NOT in my capabilities or even my previous experiences. He was intrigued at just how many questions I asked and how I even asked some questions he didn't know the answer to, and how quickly I learnt the information. He told me to come to the company's HQ because he wanted me to meet the R&D manager.
1 week later
I met the R&D guy. Something I noticed is that this whole department was filled with dinosaurs. Not a single human within a 1 km radius appeared below the age of 50 outside of the technicians / trades folk. These dinos didn't even know how to post a job online without the help of HR (I'm sure everyone here knows how HR writes posts and filters applications). Just after half an hour of talking and the R&D manager apparently loved me because "this kid knows jack shit but he's a sponge, he'll learn faster than anyone else we got", which is apparently what R&D is actively looking for in fresh recruits.
Then bam-bam-boom, I got my position starting at this pay, with a guaranteed pay boost after onboarding + training is finished in 6 months, while I bombed every interview question / test. My position is as an R&D Engineer specializing in Embedded Design / Programming. Hell, one of my first projects is to tinker around and try to create and integrate a custom trained AI model with Altium to see if the autopathing system and autolayouts can be made better and human centric if possible.
I looked into this company's history and they have an average employee tenure of 10+ years without a single person ever being laid off ever since 1985. People wouldn't actively stay at a company that long without job hopping if the pay wasn't satisfactory or if it was toxic. Plus it was written into my contract that base pay is tied to inflation!
What are the lessons here?

1. Don't quit. It's a shitty market, but a 0.01% chance is INFINITELY better than 0% if you stop trying.
2. Have a boomer / gen x person help you network and connect you with other boomer / gen x people. Boomers and Gen X folks hire more based on word of mouth and interactions than younger folk like me who focus on the 'skills' part of the resume.
3. Become a sponge. The more absorbent you are and the more questions you ask, the more the senior engineers will love you and actively want you on their team.
4. Target industries that are filled with older folks in white collar positions (assuming you want white collar positions). Here are some examples:
   1. Metallurgy (filled with trades people and old engineers, they are actively looking for fresh blood in white collar areas).
   2. Agriculture (mechanization).
   3. Carpentry (same as metallurgy above).
   4. Welding companies (they have active R&D for building welding machines, just like metallurgy and carpentry sectors).
5. Learn, learn, and learn. Especially for the first job you get, especially so if you don't have internships / co-op experience, people will look for your ability to learn. How fast can you learn everything we teach you?
6. HR seldom knows what the company wants / needs when they post job listings. Getting out there and talking to NOT the recruiters but the engineers will give you that edge. Bonus points if you also do bullet point 2.
7. Be ambitious with your future goals. Not just pretend; you'll run out of steam. If you are ambitious despite your current situation, people will see it and engineers / senior developers will like it. That was also one of the things a senior there liked about me and explicitly said "you're ambitions behind closed doors, I love it, you'll go far and I hope you take the company there with you; more profits for all of us!".
8. Nepotism isn't the right word for how many here think of the job situation, it's just much MUCH more networking than previously thought. This has it's own issues like for those from disadvantaged / foreign backgrounds, but this world isn't fair, and that won't change reality.

Check my post history to know I was literally in your position just a few months ago. I hope this post helps people.

I am redoing my resume in an effort to change jobs as well as get a bump in pay. However I kind of do a bit of everything and have a wide but what I would consider shallow knowledge of a lot of technologies. I started in my early 30s late to the game doing break/fix work as I couldn't get an interview, never mind a job back during the aftermath of the 2008 recession. So I have about 10 years total in IT support.
Currently I have my A+, Network+, AZ-900 and MS-900. My current employer doesn't want to pay for new certs so I haven't really focused on getting any more but I am looking into that as well.
But my day to day generally includes:
Answering the phone for password resets and answering emails.
Fixing "slow" computers.
Troubleshooting email deliverability issues. (DNS, SPF, DKIM, etc...)
Basic server migrations (AD, DNS, File shares, printers, group policy)
Setting up and managing MS365 tenants for clients (creating accounts, dist lists, groups, adding guests, and a few Teams calling)
Purchasing minor parts (peripherals, dongles, SSDs, Sonicwalls, WAPs)
Setting up mostly flat /24 networks, VLANs every once in a while, Guest networks. Nothing too complex.
Troubleshooting applications (mainly Quickbooks, Sage, Office)
Building VMs mainly in Hyper-V
Administrating Parallels RAS for remote web apps.
Managing VOIP phones
and Managing iOS and Android devices (still learning)
Creating extremely basic Powershell scripts triggered by Task ScheduleRMM software.
My main goals are to get away from answering Tier 1 tickets and put in a position where I can learn more about new tech (Azure, AWS, K8s, Docker, etc...) Problem is...I can't seem to find the next job title I should be looking at applying for. I find most of the "Senior Help Desk/Desktop Support" roles would be a cut in pay. Where in System Admin roles have a nice pay bump, but I often don't meet the requirements.

Hi friends. A favor, I am using the Esp32 like server, it has a page with a form using the method POST. I can open the page on the navigator to fill the form, it works very well, now my problem is when i try to do the same with javascript, it no works. Someone could give me a example of how can i do it?.
Here the my javascript code:

The XMLHttpRequest Object

The "http://xxxx.xxxx.x.x" is the ip of Esp32 Server.
I thank so much in advance for help.

I've had my steam deck since December of 2023, and the honeymoon phase has long passed, so I'm aware of all of the problems. I have a 64gb LCD, and it has so many insane issues from the factory, it's crazy. For example, sometimes I get on and the internet is turned off, so I go to turn it on and it wont work, so alright, I guess I'll turn it off and on again. Fast forward to me doing this a few times, and it finally connects and says "Steam can't reach the steam servers". Or how about how when in handheld mode, after my device gets below about 70%, it will have frame drops to about 1-6fps every few minutes, with the drops lasting around 30 seconds to a minute. Or how about the constant, never ending crashing. I went to change a song on apple music, console shuts down, I'm playing GeoGuessr, console shuts down, I go to check the community marketplace for a game, console shuts down. All of these issues in more would be considered unacceptable for any other console, like if the PS5 just started bottlenecking at 1fps on every game for no reason, I think people would be slightly upset, but because it's considered a PC, it's fine? It's mostly marketed as a console and, in addition to that, even for this to be a product sold by a company for 400$ is crazy. If I look on reddit as to how to fix any of these issues, (because yes, other people are having these issues and yet they still go unaddressed by valve) the most common answer is always "RMA it". That's crazy that a console can just be allowed to ship with as many stupid and baffling issues as this. I'm aware this sub likes to oversell and glaze the steam deck, which I've been guilty of doing as well, but I'm just tired of how broken and underbaked this thing seems most of the time.
(edit: I should clarify that the frame drops thing only happens when disconnected from power, if anyone can help with that. When this thing DOES work, I love it to bits.)

Tldr - 12 yr old, active dog had leg surgery requiring bed rest for 14 days, and she's very bored. How to help her cope? We've got ice, treats, and trying to think of games that don't involve her standing.
Full story: My dog is 12 years 2 months old, 83 lbs, boxer mix, short hair. She's always been high energy and active. As recently as last week we were walking 30-45 minutes at least once a day and she has no problem with stamina.
For several months she's had a lipoma growing in a rear leg. The vet and I have been watching it, and it has been causing her to limp and bunny hop up steps so we decided it should be removed. Her blood work was all very good. She has no other health problems.
Surgery was 2 days ago. The incision is on the trailing edge of the haunch/thigh. We cleaned her crate and moved it to the first floor of our house (it's normally on a second floor, she's crate trained and sleeps there of her own volition sometimes but she usually prefers the living room couch). It's in a cozy spot she likes.
The vet's recovery instructions are: Do not encourage play for 14 days. Slow leash walks only to toilet for 14 days. Then stretch walks by 5 minutes every 3 days till walks are 20 minutes long. Then resume normal activity.
Part of why this is so restrictive is the vet didn't put drains in - they had planned to beforehand but didn't feel comfortable during the procedure because of where the arteries were relative to the incision. The restrictive rest is in hope of reducing irritation and swelling there and needing to bring her back to the office to drain fluid.
At discharge the nurse suggested she be mostly in her crate for the first 14 days. We were given gabapentin and carprofen.
This worked for the first 36 hours, but even on the gabapentin she is obviously bored and wants out of the crate. We are going to the back yard briefly a few times a day (on leash, no play, just to toilet), I'm sitting beside her in the crate with door open, petting and giving treats for simple commands like laying her head down and shaking, I'm feeding her food and water, but with work and kids my time to spend with her is limited. We are keeping a bowl of ice in the crate too, she seems to like this. Also, peanut butter kongs.
2 big questions:
What else could we try as far as activity/entertainment? Her normal happy place/outlet is a long walk. We have a couple food puzzles, and I plan to try them however she's never been much of a fan of them before.
How can we judge her recovery, as far as when she should be allowed more freedom? For example, after 4 days can she sit with us on the couch instead of in her crate? What about laying down outside? Etc?
Cheers

I would greatly appreciate if someone could send their resume as an example for me! Thank you in advance💗💗

I (20F) have been dating my bf (24M) for about 7 months now. I’ve been home from college for the summer for 4 days. Since I’ve been back both of my parents keep making comments that are extremely annoying. I was on a walk with my dad and he was saying that I’m wasting the younger years I have dating him and he’s distracting me. That I’m young and shouldn’t worry about dating right now. My mom makes rude comments that imply i’m mean to my bf when i’m not at all. She’ll say “i bet you start most of the fights between you two” for example.
They also have it in their heads that my bf is the only person I ever spend time with. My mom will say that I turned into one of the girls who only spend time with their boyfriends. My college roommate recently got a studio apartment and my parents said “I bet the reason she got her own place was because you’re never around”. The things they’re saying are ridiculous and I’ve stopped bringing up my bf to them to avoid things like this.
I have never been a very social person and I socialize with my friends a very normal amount. I do spend a lot of time with my bf but it doesn’t take anyway from any other aspect of my life. I still get good grades, I managed to get a good job that’ll look great on my resume. I’m not sure why or where my parents got the idea that I’m with my boyfriend all the time.
My boyfriend and I get along really well and I do enjoy spending time with him often. I don’t think that’s a bad thing, I get all my responsibilities done and make time for my friends. My parents have met him before and they both think he’s really nice. I am the youngest of 4 daughters so maybe being the baby of my family makes it harder?
I’m not sure how to deal with this. Any advice on how to deal with this or why they’re being like this?

A few weeks ago, someone posted a link to one of Don’s rants and I went through and commented on each of the points. I can't find that post, but I had copied it over here: https://www.reddit.com/perpetualeducation/comments/1c7k9re/donthedeveloper_on_a_rant_about_how_aspiring/
We had a chat about it. Here’s the video/podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHmqZkC3LqU&lc
Don titled it: There's a MASSIVE Skill Gap Among New Developers
I'll attempt to write a bit about that - (even though we went over many other topics - and I'm having a hard time grouping them)
It’s easy to simplify this into “the market” or “the boot camp” or “the tech stack” or "what's fair" or "the resume" - but I think people are missing the various multidimensional aspects at play. Is it:
Is it all of those things - and more? (Yes). And it's "the student" too." We're all different (cue reading rainbow moment). But it's true. Some of us are slower. Some of us are faster but miss the details. Some of us have a background that alignes neatly with tech. Some of us already know what job we want and why - and other people just want to make a good bet on a stable career. No matter what zone you're in, we still have to face the music - and deal with (trigger alert) - the truth.
The market is real. Companies aren't aggressively hireing random barely capable developers right now (like they have in the past). They're scared and holding on to their money. They also kinda realized they were spending more money on middle management and probably developers too - and are going to need some time to figure out how to make profitable businesses (or how to keep getting more VC funding to burn through).
But if there's a huge gap between your skills/experience and what it takes to do the job you're applying for, none of the other factors matter.
Many people choose a coding boot camp based on superficial factors like the price, the timeline, the website design, and the sales pitch. They often don't consider other important aspects because they simply don't know better. This isn’t unlike any other product or service or school.
Some people pick out a boot camp and learn a bunch of awesome stuff and they go out there and start a new career and for some reason, they don’t come back to Reddit to tell us about it. There are some legit colleges and boot camps and other alternative learning paths out there - that are really great. It's just a fact.
If you read the bootcamp marketing, paid your tuition, went through the steps they lined out, and came out the other end unable to get that job they promised you, well - that’s awkward. Maybe for you, it’s that simple. If you feel like you got a raw deal, I’m sorry. There are some businesses that should be ashamed of themselves - but they won't be. All you can do is warn other people. That’s over now. We can only work with the present.
For people who really want to work in this industry - they'll keep moving forward: at the end of the day, this is the playing field. So, if you want to get off the bench, we’re going to have to design a path to that – and you might need to rethink some of your assumptions.
It could certainly be said that new developers are now expected to know about–and have experience with–a lot more things.
Are the expectations that someone brand new to development is going to be able to get a job unreasonable? Well, does it matter what someone’s opinion about that is? You either want the job - or you don’t. And you need to know how to do the job, or no one will hire you. Do you need to know everything on this huge list to get an entry level position https://roadmap.sh/javascript ? (no) (in fact - close that - and don’t ever look at it again)
When I started (at the age of ~30) (in ~2011), you needed to know HTML, CSS, (Probably some PhotoShop to get your assets), maybe a little PHP (and likely HTTP and more about URLs and request types and forms), FTP and DNS to get your site hosted, and maybe some JavaScript. You might have used jQuery to help out or Knockout.js. And you had to know how to hook up a database and MySQL and probably a CMS or some sort. And maybe your code was a mess or maybe it adhered to some common patterns. But that was life. Not everyone needed to know all those things. Some people would focus more on getting the mockup into the HTML and CSS. Other people might focus on the server and the PHP or Perl or Java. There were all sorts of jobs and some of them were done by people with a formal education in Computer Science studies and other people just figured it out as needed. There was a lot of work to be done. Lots of custom stuff to build and maintain. And it was just normal to learn more incrementally as the years went by. You could totally get a job knowing just HTML and CSS (and you still can BTW). There was still an infinite amount of things you could know. But it seemed to ramp up naturally because we were closer to the grain of The Web.
So, what do people learn now? (Generally) They rush through some HTML and CSS really quick (which actually teaches them more bad habits than good). They rarely learn about DNS or FTP because a tutorial showed them how to type a few random things into a terminal to have their site on a free service and they don’t buy a domain name because there’s a free subdomain. Apparently paying for anything is for suckers and companies that don't give you things for free are evil capitalistic pigs who should be shut down. New devs don’t know much about servers because their text editor is actually running an advanced web application behind the scenes that starts a virtual server and runs all sorts of other things they don’t understand outside of that context - like connecting to version control, opening a terminal pane, SSH, code completion and typeahead, autoimport completion, AI suggestions and other additional layers like typescript and many other linters to tell them where all their errors are. If they couldn't use VSCode - they might be dead in the water. It can feel like you’re just a bag of meat being yelled at by VSCode as you try and solve the errors and remove all the red lines. And we do all of these - to put the training wheels in place.
And I’m not saying that a LAMP stack doesn’t have it’s own level of black-box and mysteries with how Apache handles your HTTP requests and MySQL starts up it’s own server - but we have to be comfortable with some level of abstraction or we’d be writing all ones and zeros at the machine code level.
So, the new developer is manning this huge stack of tools unknowingly, but they do get a lot of benefits. We can spin up a pretty complex web application with a front-end to make requests, a server to talk to a database and other third-party systems and respond back to the client/front-end, and an auth layer to make sure people are properly signing in and only seeing what they need to see. There are abstractions for HTML and CSS and JS that put that template logic and controller logic into a neat little component file (which is great) and that component file is properly registered based on file name conventions and everything gets set up in this larger system of conventions that all happen behind the scenes in the framework architecture. So, as a new developer - you can really ride the framework and know hardly anything about how it works - as long as you know the language to speak to this layer of the abstraction (the API).
These aren't just arbitrary add-ons that people made to complicate things. They solve real-world problems. The new dev won't really understand what they are - but I'm not saying we should just get rid of them. They allow us to move faster and to build interfaces and business logic without having to write tons of behind the scenes repeated structural code by hand. And with those training wheels, we have more time on our hands. We can also add in the chance to further define our programs with safety measures and plan automated testing routines, and built-in documentation of our code base. We can keep adding layers and layers or pull in more and more third-party tools. It’s pretty amazing. But what people end up learning is how to maintain that configuration - and there’s only so much time - and so, they end up learning 10% of all the things you used to need/want to know. And some jobs have a path for that. But there's likely going to be a long-term cost for you.
Arguably - it doesn’t matter how much “code” you know - and making things is what matters. And that’s true. That’s what matters to the business that pays you. And to the school that wants you to feel good about your progress. But I think you should protect your learning journey. It’s for you. It’s going to be what you carry on throughout the years and it’s a seed.
Getting proficient with a popular tech stack - when the market is booming proved to be a great decision for boot camps and their students. And I'd bet that the majority of people mean well.
But when it's not booming, students are in it for the wrong reasons, schools have tightened up and moved online, the market has plenty of devs who already have 5+ years working with that framework/stack -- then all of the sudden - the surface-level fake-it-till-you-make-it path (as much as I respect that) doesn't work as well. You're going to have to put in some more energy.
When it's obvious that you can't build an HTML page with semantic markup, that's accessible, and has a universally pleasurable experience, and you can't write CSS without a UI framework or do anything custom, it's obvious. You should be aware of that gap. When you've never owned a domain name or setup a deployment pipeline, you should be aware of that gap. When your personal website looks like your boot camp gave it to you, you should be aware of how that looks. When you can't take a server-side scripting language like Python or Go or PHP and build out a little personal website framework - you should be aware of that gap. When you can't plan a project and don't have experience with diagrams and explaining things, you need to be aware of that gap. When you've never written about your process or created any case-studies to explain your projects, you should be aware of that gap. When you're only proof of work is the class assignments, you should be aware of that gap. When your github history goes dead after the last day of class, you should be aware that we'll see that. When you claim to no nothing about visual design and that's for someone else on the team - you should be aware of that gap. If you refuse to turn on your camera and just want to be left alone, you should be aware of that huge gap. If you can't build a little prototype app without React, they you probably don't JavaScript, and you should be aware of that gap. And there will ALWAYS be a gap. There's always more to learn. So - it's an important skill to know what to learn and why - and when. You can't learn everything. And if you're having a hard time finding work right now, then get clear on your goal. Stop applying for general "Software engineer" jobs you aren't ready for. Narrow your scope. Figure out a job that you think you can do confidently. Get clear on how big your gap is and what you need to learn to get centered and confident with your toolset. Ideally, it's fun. Try and ignore all the doom and gloom and focus on your own personal goal.
It's not just the market. Too many people are applying for jobs they aren't anywhere near qualified to do. And it probably doesn't feel good. But luckily - you can learn the things and get back on track.

I've noticed a lot of Dscord servers offering pre-loaded Fortnite accounts with V-Bucks at incredibly low prices. For example, they sell accounts with 13,500 V-Bucks for just $17. Even in countries where V-Bucks are cheaper, these prices seem unrealistically low. Does anyone know how they manage to offer such deals? Are there any risks or things to be aware of when considering buying from these sellers? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

In cisco i have 2 multi layer switches running svi vlans and hsrp and have some layer 2switches connected to pcs
one of the multi layer switch is configured to be a dhcp server wilth server pools and all , my problem is when i first open the file and wait for everything to run , the pcs recieve the other vlan ip on the other multi layer switch
for example
MLS 1 is running the dhcp :
vlan 10 with the ip address 172.16.0.2
and virtual ip 172.16.0.1
MLS 2:
vlan 10 with the ip address 172.16.0.3
virtual ip 172.16.0.1
the pc assigned to vlan 10 recieves the ip address 172.16.0.3
If anyone has a solution it would be helpful

So I'd avoided creating an NYT account for forever because (like others) I'd had issues with it occasionally doing weird things with stats, and this way I could fix it by tweaking the local storage on my device. Sadly they now force you to use an account to see your stats (not, it turns out, to store them) - and doubly sadly my phone had a freak out when I finished a puzzle with no connection, and reset my streak. So I decided to play around to see if I could restore it.
TLDR: When you load Wordle it stores your stats in a key in your browser's local storage (and the game state in another). If you edit these and edit the timestamp in the key to be the current time (or maybe just any time that is newer than the server version, not sure), when you refresh it will update the server copy to match these rather than the other way around. If you don't edit the timestamp, it will overwrite the local copy with the server version instead.
Caveat: this is based on some pretty patchy testing so it's possible not all of the statements will hold up, but hopefully it's helpful anyway if others are tearing their hair out about losing their streak or stats because of an NYT glitch!

Wordle's local storage keys

If you view the local storage when you've got Wordle open on a desktop, you'll see a bunch of keys (press F12 in Chrome/Chromium-based browser (eg Edge) or Firefox, then click Application (Chrome) or Storage (Firefox) and choose local storage). Relevantly we are looking for these two keys:

• wordle-legacy-stats-xxxxxxx
• games-state-wordleV2/xxxxxxx

xxxxxxx is a string of numbers that I guess corresponds to a user ID. If you've played without an account, that'll be ANON instead. If you've signed in with multiple accounts, you'll probably have a few of these with different ID numbers, so you'll need to work out which one corresponds to the account you want to fix.
wordle-legacy-stats, as its name suggests, stores your stats. games-state-wordleV2 saves the current game state (eg what guess you're up to and what words you've guessed so far). The set of stats are also embedded within the games-state-wordleV2 key, but as far as I can tell you can ignore that and it'll update itself to reflect whatever's in the wordle-legacy-stats one.

Updating stats

wordle-legacy-stats will look something like this:

{{"gamesPlayed":100,"gamesWon":100,"guesses":{"1":10,"2":20,"3":20,"4":20,"5":20,"6":10,"fail":0},"currentStreak":100,"maxStreak":100,"lastWonDayOffset":1061,"hasPlayed":true,"autoOptInTimestamp":1234567890123,"hasMadeStatsChoice":true,"timestamp":1234567890} 

Mostly this is self-explanatory. Note, however, lastWonDayOffset, being the Wordle # that you last beat, and timestamp, which is (I think) the time the stats were last updated. This is in Unix time - you can convert to a human-readable time using various sites like Epoch Converter - Unix Timestamp Converter.
I first tried just updating the stats, and refreshing. This didn't work as Wordle kept overwriting it with the values from the server. However, once I updated the timestamp value to the current time (ie so it was newer than the stats stored on the server), this seemed to work - on refreshing the page, it updated the stats in my account.
I haven't worked out what autoOptInTimestamp is (save that it seems to be in milliseconds rather than seconds), but I left it as it was and everything still seemed to work.

Updating game state

games-state-wordleV2 will look something like this:

{"states":[{"puzzleId":"2223","data":{"boardState":["word1","word2","word3","word4","word5",""],"currentRowIndex":5,"status":"WIN","hardMode":false,"isPlayingArchive":false,"setLegacyStats":{"gamesPlayed":100,"gamesWon":100,"guesses":{"1":10,"2":20,"3":20,"4":20,"5":20,"6":10,"fail":0},"currentStreak":100,"maxStreak":100,"lastWonDayOffset":1061,"hasPlayed":true,"autoOptInTimestamp":1234567890123,"hasMadeStatsChoice":true,"timestamp":1234567890}},"schemaVersion":"0.16.0","timestamp":1234567890}]} 

Again hopefully it's mostly self-explanatory :

• boardstate lets you set the words you've guessed so far, and row you're up to. This can be useful if you want to (let's be honest, cheat) and undo a guess.
• status can be WIN or IN_PROGRESS.
• You don't need to worry about puzzleID, but it seems to be the way NYT has randomised the order. For example it was 2223 for Wordle #1061, and before NYT moved to a human-edited version of Wordle, the answer to Wordle #2222 would have been PINCH- which was the answer to this puzzle - so that kind of makes sense.
• setlegacystats is followed by a complete replication of the data in the wordle-legacy-stats key. From my (really not very) extensive testing, we can ignore this as it updates to match whatever's in wordle-legacy-stats.
• As above, timestamp (the second one) needs to be updated if you want to change this and have it update whatever's saved to your account, rather than theother way around.

The recipe is a basic Black Manhattan but with Black Walnut Bitters in place of orange and a splash of Heering added.
2oz bourbon (I usually use something at or close to 100 proof) 3/4 oz Averna 1/4 oz Heering Dash Angostura Dash Black Walnut Bitters
I skip the traditional cherry garnish because of the Heering, but if I'm serving to others I'll add one. You can skip the Heering and it won't make or break it, but I'm a fan of the slight extra sweetness and cherry note it adds.
I've tried a ton of different bitters in these, but it's the black walnut that really makes this pop off. It's become my cocktail of choice and I batch it regularly.
Names I've considered play off the "black" part of the name and taking it a step further from not only the black walnut but also the black cherry Heering. Not super clever but it's mostly all I've been able to come up with.
Suggestions would be awesome.
Examples.... Black Hole Manhattan Midnight Manhattan Ebony/Onyx/Jet Black/Obsidian... etc... 9th Plague [of Egypt]
