Every job gets a little more techie every year. I’m sure the master plumbers use some pretty sophisticated software to plan out the plumbing in a house.

Heck, just a simple job needs planning, billing, and more. All of which use computer systems.

Even just knowing logic and high end math is showing that you’re not just a knucklehead looking to do the bare minimum.

Every bit of experience you had in a previous role can be used in the current one. Just spend a few minutes thinking of how it would work and use that in any interviews you get.

Just remember, even though most of these folks didn’t go to university, doesn’t mean they’re any dumber than you are. If they’re doing high quality work, they’re probably just as smart, or smarter.

Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get picked right away. Sometimes they have a year or more backlog on apprenticeships.

If you stick it out, it can be a great career!

Drove a few hours for both the 2017 and 2024 eclipse.

Waited several hours afterwards to go home both times.

The 2024 eclipse was a much easier drive home (though still not great).

The official way to get movies and TV series for self hosting is to purchase them on physical disc, then rip that media to your computer so you don’t need to swap out discs anymore.

There are also tools to rip the movies from streaming sites. Depending on how you want to do it, there’s various tools to download the content, but it’s a bit of a war between the streamers and the end users.

There’s also ways to download that content from people who share it online. Depending on where you live, this might be completely legal, it might get you fined, it might get your internet shut off, or it might get you put in jail. The worst most people get is a letter telling them to knock it off, but you should look into the laws where you live to find out for sure.

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy has some guides on it.

MakeMKV lets you mix and match files into a video container, so you can put a different audio track or sub track into the video.

You might have trouble with the sync if things don’t start at exactly the same time, but I think there are offset settings in there somewhere.

What about non-millionaire/billionaire people with stalkers? People have violent Ex’s, violent coworkers - and rarely, but still happens - violent strangers.

Poor people have lives that are threatened. Domestic abuse/murder is all too common all across the world.

So why is she more valuable?

Lots of new people contributing code. Good to see.

More eyes and more contributors can mean a lot of fixes and new features coming, as long as the reviewers can keep up.

Hopefully this is a good trend.

You either aren’t paying attention to what he’s doing, or you weren’t paying attention 10 years ago. This is absolutely normal behavior for the legal system.

He does business using google services - they subpoenad his google account. That’s how this works.

Depending on the company, you just admitted to them you stole and will be fired. If it’s a large enough company HR will just walk you right out the door after saying that.

Firefly had a lot of potential, but never got into the meat.

The Expanse was able to work through the whole story, except for the last book.

I think they’re both good, but the Expanse was better since it has a more modern story, and a lot more episodes.

He grew up very poor. Most of what he owned was probably second hand.

In his book, he describes running an old school mp3 pirate business.

Listen to it on audiobook. 100% worth it.

Most people I know bought records, but used reel-to-reel to copy them.

Later it was cassettes to copy them.

Never saw anyone try to copy the physical record itself.

This is an extremely simple solution. They’ll even handle the DNS and security for you.

Synology is kind of the Apple of NAS in all the good and bad ways, but they certainly are dead simple to set up, and also give you a lot of flexibility to expand into a more complex,self maintaini tech stack if you want to.

It’s pretty simple, what’s the LLM thinking about when it’s not actively being prompted?

Does an LLM have the same “consciousness” when talking to someone else? Does the LLM even exist if it’s not actively being talked to? If everyone just stops talking to it, does it “die” until someone else logs in and submits a prompt?

When I talk to my boss and tell them it took me 5 days to do something – my “days” are only about 1 hour.

Works both ways.

It says or best offer.

Shoot your shot.

I wonder how many babies will have to suffer through potentially damaging fevers due to this fear being in the minds of pregnant humans.
