It violates the right to confront one’s accuser / question the witness in court.

Presumption of guilt by default, requiring you to pay the fine before you’re allowed to contest the alleged infraction.

Absolute rules usually means less natural justice, there are times when pursuing minor violations are not in the public interest.

Ironic how seatbelts aren’t mandated on public forms of transport like trains and buses, yet one is required to wear them in one’s own vehicle. If it truly is based on safety then it should be an all or nothing approach to requiring seat belts on moving vehicles.

The safety of your three year old child is your responsibility. If your child is run over then it’s due to your lack of adequate supervision in the face of lack of capability of the child to avoid the accident and/or education of not to stand in the way of moving vehicles.

Most embedded jobs use C, some C++. But if you’re good at programming you should be able to pick any language fairly quickly tbh so I’d just tailor my CV according to whatever language is in their job spec.

Embedded, firmware, systems jobs all tend to use C. So using those terms to widen your job search may help.

You should absolutely not feel guilty for using sick leave. We all pay into it, either through taxes or lower salary in case we need it. The stigma regarding mental health absolutely should stop, as mental health is health.

Some of the commenters on here should hang their heads in shame.

Taking humanity out of the equation, sick leave makes economic sense as it allows people to recuperate and get back to work, rather than having to find a permanent replacement.

However, it sounds like you are still sick, and therefore you should go back on sick leave. Both to protect your income and your health. Don’t make a martyr out of yourself, it won’t serve any purpose.

As you haven’t really mentioned specifics (that I have seen yet), it seems that the working environment did this to you, so the company does have a responsibility to you. As such, I wouldn’t feel guilty at all about continuing to draw a salary from them while getting better for the damage they caused.

I thought best practice for IPv6 is to essentially ‘ignore’ IP addresses as each NIC can have multiple addresses + the extended length making it unwieldy. Instead you either use a combination of zeroconf / Bonjour for DNS registration / service discovery + stateless IP address assignment (SLACC). If you want full control you can use DHCPv6 which can register hosts on a proper DNS service.
