Do some writeups and post them online, get a public GitHub presence going, and link all those together from some central homepage or LinkedIn or whatever you like. Then try to land some interviews.

just_another_person , (edited )

You don't need to even make your activity public, just someplace people can see relevant stuff you've been working on.

Fork some repos, contribute some PRs to some projects you like, and generate some activity if you'd like though. People love to see that.

just_another_person ,

They have a container and instructions on how to build and run it. Where are you getting stuck?

Bleeding subscribers, cable companies force their way into streaming | Companies like Comcast and Charter brought about the streaming industry they now want to join (arstechnica.com)

The cable industry has been in a nose-dive for years. Comcast's Q1 2024 earnings report showed its cable business losing 487,000 subscribers. The cable giant ended 2022 with 16,142,000 subscribers; in January, it had 13,600,000....

The streaming services are just operating the same way cable providers did now anyway. Worse in some cases.

Full circle.

China starts smartphone inspections to boost 'anti-espionage efforts', raising fears among expatriates and foreign business people about arbitrary enforcement (english.kyodonews.net)

I can't breathe from all the smokescreen.

just_another_person ,

You want every state to be able to be able to confiscate your devices?

just_another_person ,

I think I'm the comission of a crime possibly, sure. I'm unaware of other countries just willy-nilly snatching devices "just because". I haven't looked at the data recently though, you have that?

just_another_person OP ,

I would assume so? All their other stuff is Zigbee, and it's got a huge following.

just_another_person ,

Yup

just_another_person ,

Why would anyone want this? Maybe they are forcing Chinese nationals to buy them and inflate their popularity as a product for Papa CCP.

just_another_person ,

Speaking strictly in the US, which is what this article is about.

just_another_person ,

I doubt it's for their fun headset since they've already abandoned it. I'm sure it's going to be taking data for mapping or some other dumb bullshit with AI to describe what's around you because you can't fucking use your eyes.

Apple is so bad now. Ugh.

just_another_person ,

the tech giant has suspended work on the next Vision Pro and is looking for ways to cut costs for a cheaper model that could ship by the end of next year

It absolutely does not. Which non-shitty version of their currently absolutely shitty headset did you think was going to be the magic one that actually works the way describe and advertise? Lolol

just_another_person ,

I never said that. WTF are you talking about?

just_another_person ,

If you haven't read or looked into this, it feels almost wrong to just boil it down for you.

Watch one of their stupid commercials about it, then see if it works at all the way they delict it working. It does not. All it is now is a wearable monitor for desktop viewing. Things it does not do while clearly depicted as such:

  • gaming
  • multimedia presentations
  • stream to other headsets
  • have ANY sharable user positioning data (local or GPS)
  • collaboration with other headset owners
  • wireless anything (it's got a heavy ass battery pack)
  • literally has NONE of the apps that it had depicted it had in some presentations at initial dev announcement (Netflix, YouTube...etc), though they are usable in browser

Anyway, you get the idea. There's more, but why bother.

just_another_person ,

Yes. They did abandon work on the gaming and multimedia improved headset. What about that is wrong from the article?

just_another_person ,

Yes they did. I was at WWDC, and they punted to the upcoming version of the headset that would do what they already claimed it would.

From the horses mouth: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/02/apple-announces-more-than-600-new-apps-built-for-apple-vision-pro/

None of the mention of gaming is true or possible with the current gen, and they specifically said they were developing an "upcoming headset for gamers" that was tailored to this. Now it's cancelled, and even if you pull the "well, they REALLY meant..." bullshit, they specifically talked about how "easy" it was to port games from the App Store, which was never possible. Flat out bullshit.

[FIXED] Is it possible to tell Jellyfin to search also the original title?

Hello! I have a problem: sometimes I instinctively refer to a movie by the English name (for example, Star Wars), but if I search for it in jellyfin it is not found, as the italian translated name is "Guerre Stellari". I'd like to be able to search for it with both the original name and the translated name. The original name is...

Try disabling the metadata downloaders.

just_another_person ,

I'm not saying this is the fix. This is a debugging step to see what the issue is if it's not sourcing the local metadata.

Bud, if you don't know how to read and understand your own logs, I can't step through this entire thing with you. It's literally telling you exactly what is wrong.

Search for the word "changedetection" in your compose file, then find out why it thinks you have a volume named WEB_DRIVER

I'd assume your formatting is off.

Imagine that: some scammy motivational speakers who have been peddling a bunch of feel-good bullshit for decades didn't know how to fix a company that was hemorrhaging money with warm thoughts and regards.

I would have taken that bet.

    Yes, exactly.

    Not only is it insanely power hungry and will drive up electric bill, it's storage and memory limited, and worst of all, 32-bit.

    You wouldn't be able to run much as far as modern software goes on it, and even then, not for long. You probably won't even find a working distribution because of the age of the hardware, and the fact that large swaths of 32-bit drivers have been removed from the kernel over the years.

    Just chalk it up to being E-Waste, and take it to someplace that will properly recycle it.

    Phone home tracking image in DocuSeal, and how to remove it (www.reddit.com)

    Kinda proud of this, so forgive me while I brag. I found a likely "phone home" tracking image in DocuSeal. I searched around: there was an extant issue about the image. I asked the devs: would they accept a PR to remove the image? A maintainer responded quickly that they were not interested in a PR to remove it, so I forked it...

    just_another_person , (edited )

    Okay, well they were very clear about it, and they have a pro version, so aren't removing the customizations that exist.

    Secondly, that isn't a "phone home" bit that you hacked around, it's literally a header that loads a GitHub badge, and that's it. It's part of a lot of open source projects.

    Blocking the DNS of the GitHub host it's calling back to is sufficient enough for everyone if this is a concern (it's of no security concern, freal), and you don't need a fork for this to be fixed. Maintaining a fork is an insane amount of work, and trusting someone who is maintaining a forked repo is WAYYYYYY more risky than just using the official repo, which has thousands of stars, and multitudes of users poking through it's code.

    I for one would never touch your forked repo without doing a full diff, and I'm not going to worry about doing that every time a release is missed by you, or a fix isn't upstreamed...yada yada. I would just use the official repo, and block the offending GitHub domain if I found it offensive, which I don't.

    Know what I mean?

    just_another_person ,

    Friend, please listen to reason.

    The "code" you linked to is not functional code of any sort. Not to be nitpicky, it's just an HTML image tag, so its Markup at best. All you did was stop the loading of an SVG image. The fact that they source it from their own domain tells you everything: they have a script that runs to check the current number of stars, then generates this image that reflects that. SVG is an image format. It's really standard.

    All your other points you're making because you do not have much experience in the software realm, which I'm not saying to be dismissive or anything at all, I'm simply illustrating that all the points you're questioning or mentioning are 100% standard.

    • you don't make a fork for three lines of code and ask others to "check it out". If anything, just point out the issue and post a diff or a script to fix it. Simple.
    • They have a pro version, and are using images they generate in a template viewed by users to promote its popularity and try to sell pro. They're running a business out of this. Not every FOSS project is non-profit, and these people are simply trying to sell a product AS WELL as keep it open source for others to enjoy, like yourself. Feel lucky to have the privilege they are letting you use it for free.
    • The term "phoning home" as you're trying to use it, is wrong. You're implying that it is functionally doing something unexpected. It is not. It is sourcing an image in HTML. The suspicious type of phoning home is code that executes locally and pulls down other functional bits of code that alter the way the software APPEARS to be used. It's a way of obfuscating something shady, like a virus, or malware. This is not that kind of code.
    • If your concern is simply that the code you've run is sourcing an image from somewhere, I can only imagine how upset you'll be to learn that software repos of this size are pulling things from dozens, if not hundreds of places. This project pulls from rubygems, yarnpkgs, and the dreaded example.com.
    • Lastly, the reason that team responded to you in that manner was more that they were taken aback. Like "WTF is this person talking about? I don't get it." Realize that they were nice enough to respond, where most project maintainers would just ignore or close the issue.

    Also, you might want to freak out about the social badges being sourced in this as well. This isn't a "privacy first" project or anything. They aren't doing anytweird, you're just misunderstanding some things.

    just_another_person ,

    AGAIN.

    This is not "phoning home" as claimed. It is not a SECURITY RISK as claimed. It is a privacy want/complaint/nag at the very VERY least. THIS IS ALSO NOT A PRIVACY FOCUSED PROJECT.

    Refer to the original comment, and realize this was being run in a container. So, what...it's a risk to have libcurl ide tidied on your server? Your IP address is so damn private and important? Literally nobody cares.

    Y'all need to get better hobbies, seriously. Probably just need to get off the Internet if this is the stuff causing consternation in your lives.

    just_another_person ,

    This only works for specific mechanical failures, and I'd say about 25% of the time. It works because metal shrinks when cold, and this can sort of let a drive limp along for a short period of time to get small amounts of data off.

    Drive clicking is the drive arm malfunctioning, and I wouldn't expect the freezer trick to do much if it's a messed up actuator or something. You already know the drive is bad though, so why not.

    No idea who this is, but I can already tell my the fake getup that I do not care to look up whatever persona this guy thought was entertaining. Streamers are terrible.

    just_another_person ,

    It's really just for tinkering at this point, or cheap build systems I guess. There's some small edge cases where the existing instruction set will beat ARM or x86, but they're very niche. Eventually it's expected to be a contender to the more optimized stuff we see in ARM chips these days.

    just_another_person ,

    RISC is only for tinkering at this point.

    just_another_person ,

    It's still very subjective to who is making the main CPU, but yeah. It's meant for low power applications.

    just_another_person ,

    What you're describing is data TRANSFER. Bad sector detection and management is done by the drive controller firmware.

    just_another_person ,

    What's the controversy?

    just_another_person ,

    Don't they all make that claim?

    just_another_person ,

    Yes.

    just_another_person ,

    This reads like an April Fools joke.

    just_another_person ,

    This pretty much opens the door for Proton on mobile I guess?

    just_another_person ,

    If I was a child, and toy stores looked like that, I'd be there in a heartbeat. This is making insane expectations for children that will never come to pass. Fuck this PR firm, fuck this company, and anyone else who has anything to do with this.

    just_another_person ,

    Why? Nobody even knows why he was famous anymore.

    Not sure why you're making it politically motivated, but alright.

    You think these companies are keeping tabs on who you voted for? Or maybe you're concerned about their participation in an idiots attempt at a governor uprising by occupying the Capital. One has more weight than the other, you see?

    just_another_person ,

    You're sad equally insane as the person who commented on my comment. Go outside.

    Have you been arrested for fucking plants? Sounds like you might have something to hide from a potential employer then.
