You should consider trying to work for yourself

How do you even start this?

What about connectivity? I’m currently using Tailscale cuz it’s so easy. Maybe I should look into WireGuard? Also, how does Headscale fit into this?

Does anyone have a good guide for installing Seafile? I tried installing it a few months ago, but it’s so damn complicated with load balancers behind load balancers and a bunch of services tied together.

I gotta try again.

Macroshit Wangblows

I don’t know anyone who works in tech (not IT) that is allowed to use Wangblows for development. If you’re a programmer/software developer, you’ll 1000% have to use Linux, either directly or indirectly. From small hardware devices, to automous cars, to simple web sites, all of that uses Linux. Lots of places give you a Linux laptop or at the very least give you Mac—because they consider Mac close enough to Linux. I’ve never needed to use Macroshit Office Suite for anything related to work. Zoom and Slack are the standard in Silicon Valley and both work fine on Linux.

Here’s my PR:

-A small and tidy task organiser 
+A small and giddy task organiser 

Uff. That sounds like a nightmare. I’m glad my job doesn’t force us to us AI. It’s encouraged, but also my managers say “Use whatever makes you the most productive.” AI makes me slower because I’m experienced and already know what I want and how I want it. So instead of fighting with the AI or fact checking it, I can just do shit right the first time.

For tasks that I don’t have experience in, a web search is just as fast. Search, click first link. OR. Sure, I’ll click and read a few pages, but that’s not wasted time. That’s called learning.

I have a friend who works at a company where they have AI usage quotas that affect their performance review. I would fucking quit that job immediately. Not all jobs are this crazy.

AI tends to generate tech debt. I have some coworkers that generate nasty, tech debt, AI slop merge requests for review. My policy is: if you’re not gonna take the time to use your brain and write something, then I’m not gonna waste my time reviewing your slop. In those cases, I use AI to “review” the code and decide to approve or not. IDGAF.

People: don’t bother to check if hardware is supported by Linux

Linux: 🤷 Aaah… yeah, I don’t support that… Sorrie? 🤷

People: leenuts suxxx!!!

Ah, fuck.

I just started donating to GNOME, Guix, and LogSeq. I wish more people used OpenCollective. Sometimes I see orgs there, but I’m not sure if they actually use that account…

What’s IPTV and is it related to this?

How the heck did you install Seafile!? I spent a whole day trying to get it to work, but there are so many moving parts and proxies behind proxies behind proxies. I managed to get the UI to load, but other parts of the app didn’t work. I want to like it, but it seems pretty complicated to install… 😢

Interesting! I didn’t know about: https://sonoff.tech/en-us/products/sonoff-dongle-max-zigbee-thread-poe-dongle-dongle-m

I currently have my ZBT-1 connected to my server way off in the corner of the house, which is obviously not great. I was hoping one day to move to a more central location… Maybe the Sonoff dongle would help with that? 🤔

Ufff. Yeah, I also hit a slop mountain of videos when searching for Seafile comparisons…

Frigate + Reolink (or actually Frigate-approved cams)

You know. mTLS might be an option. I have a tiny number of clients. Laptops and Android phones, seems easy to install a client cert. The part I’m not sure about is TVs… Does Nvidia Shield or Firestick allow installing client certs?..

Oh, wait and also: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-meta/discussions/96

Also like Ente uses: https://github.com/ente-io/ente/pull/7945#issuecomment-3538457041

You can’t always use the dev tools. Sometimes the sites have JavaScript that detects when you open the dev tools and then lock stuff up more.
