My hope is that there wouldn't be anything more personal about it than age, sex, and location... But I am sure there's a lot more that even an airline (businesses that tend to be decades behind in systems they run) can get

Coming from the 9000 series, I am wondering what do you like about the 5700 series HAL?

Ah thanks for letting me know about Rx Resume! Great resource, and actually solves the last mile problem (creating the document) of my little personal app. I am a bit of a jack of all trades, so I made a little database for the resume where the lowest level item (the little bullet points in the experience) can have tags attached to them. So I might describe the same job/experience in multiple ways depending on who the audience is, and then filter for the tags to only get the bullet points that are relevant for that position and generate a resume.

Now instead of going into some whole slog of coding document generation, I can just export that bit as JSON and import into Rx Resume!
Thanks again!

Ah thanks! I am working with .NET, and I was surprised how there's little out there in terms of (open source) libraries for LaTex (I did some research since this comment). I might end up going with docx via the OpenXML API. Also, I haven't really used LaTex before (has been on on my learning to-do list), and once I started messing with some templates, I realized I need to learn a lot more first.

One thing with my documents is that find and replace alone won't work, as I need to replace some patterns. I am generating resumes, so I need to take something like a pattern for a job, and then repeat it several times

What is it?

Ah, that's the only thing I was thinking of, but it surely didn't sound like you trying to develop a product on top of it haha

redbr64 , 1 month ago to Selfhosted in Self-Hosted (or github pages hosted) "clipboard"?

Just curious, what's their reasoning?

redbr64 , 1 month ago to Selfhosted in Generate document from templates and database

I am working on something similar and also planning on LaTex because it will be so easy to do find and replace because it's plain text (just adding placeholders like ##NAME## or whatever), but I'm only planning on outputting PDFs, which would be easy enough. I don't think there's many viable solutions to go LaTex to docx if that's a big requirement for you

Did you then tell them "I use arch btw" and then get a confused question about architecture?

redbr64 , 2 months ago to Technology in WordPress.com owner Automattic acquires multi-service messaging app Beeper for $125M

I use it to bridge Whatsapp, SMS, signal, and to receive any incoming messages on my inactive Instagram and Facebook Messenger accounts ( sometimes people contact me there). It's a pretty nice client app, I use it on desktop too. I guess I never think about iMessage until I see reactions coming in as text haha

Yeah, I just learned about this but I'm gonna stick with it. Might offer some help to the guys starting the fork organization

redbr64 , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in Help finding a new notes app

Oh man, I just got super invested into it a few months ago, bummer. Well, I guess I am sticking with it though for now, works well enough for me as-is, and hopefully the guys that are organizing the fork of it are successful!

I am really happy with Trilium. Powerful enough to do lots of things, simple enough to just take notes. The install comes with some neat templates for the advanced stuff. Running on docker on my Synology, I can use the web UI there but I prefer the desktop client.

If I knew about all this pain many years ago when I bought my NVIDIA card, I would have done the same...
