I’ve done 2 of the technix cars 1000-2000 pieces. They are fun but expensive. They take up a lot of space when you are done. The Ferrari had a lot of loose pieces for the price. As others have mentioned, look into led kits before you build it.

Proton had a reputation for being the good guy. In the span of a month, we saw them bend the knee, flip flop and throw shade at competition; all while pretending to be the hero. We essentially have to trust them with our data and they are showing signs that they are willing to act against that trust with worrisome agendas and biases. It’s not a good look, and since this marketing to users key issues, it’s going to cause some responses.

You are stuck on 100% accuracy and trying to actually stuff to death. The user asked if it’s possible to write an application in bash and the answer is an overwhelming duh. Most assembly languages are emulators and they all predate C. You are confidant, wrong and loud. Guess I struck a nerve when I called you out for needing a specific language.

2 parts:

• All languages are middleware. Unless you write in assembly, whatever you write isn’t directly being executed, they are being run through a compiler and being translated from your “middle language” or into 0s and 1s the computer can understand. Middleware is code used in between libraries to duplicate their functionality.

• Most original code was written in shell. Most scripting is done in the cli or shell language and stored as a script.shfile, containing instructions to execute tasks. Before python was invented you used the basic shell because nothing else existed yet

Pretty much all languages are middleware, and most of the original code was shell/bash. All new employees in platform/devops want to immediately push their preferred language, they want java and rust environments. It’s a pretty safe bet if they insist on using a specific language; then they don’t know how awk or sed. Bash has all the tools you need, but good developers understand you write libraries for functionality that’s missing. Modern languages like Python have been widely adopted and has a friendlier onboarding and will save you time though.

Saw this guy’s post in another thread, he’s strawmanning because of lack of knowledge.

Rss feeds, and promoted content had it basically solved. Social media offered an easier solution, but then they multiplied and people forgot the old ways.

Eli5 VPN: https://dnsleaktest.com/ Visit this site unsecured and it will display your general geographic location (county/region). Connect to your VPN and try again incognito and under most circumstances it will display the VPN location instead.

Example scenario: you are in Canada and connect to Netflix and are incredibly disappointed with the Canadian selection. You connect toa VPN from New York a few miles away and you get access to the full United States catalogue. (Netflix is fighting this)

Example 2: you setup your smart vacuum on your home network and being concerned about security, you disabled access outside your home. You can connect to a personal VPN you configure to “spoof” being inside the house while on vacation to modify your vacuum settings.

Vpns are also commonly used as “public transit” for users to obfuscate their identity.

Benefit: When you make a request against a website, they often put trackers on you including your operating system, browser application, and store data like your geographic location. Advertisers are tracking your history, sites are using cookies to charge more with dynamic pricing when you revisit, data brokers are selling that data. There have been use cased where whistle blowers are identified off that purchased data from known journalist meetings. There’s a lot of reasons to have a VPN, but never use a free one. Adding an extra jump to your VPN location is definitely adding latency, if you don’t need one, it’s just extra weight.

• VLC media player is the gold standard
• Open broadcasting software / stream labs for broadcasting and studio management
• Ffmpeg for video editing
• Yt-dlp for downloading video
• audacity MP3 editing
• Plex / jellyfin / Stashapp for media server
• Pixlr for cloud photo editing
• Yarn / chocolatey / Asdf / node / poetry - package management
• Flaresolver, pihole, home automation, nginx
• Qbit-*arr for file sharing
• Massgrave for windows activation
• Filezilla for ftp (upgrade hosting)
• Depending on bullshit level: discord, Google workspace offers custom domain Google accounts
• Anything past that I write for myself or find a project with a dockerfile

Oled model. Never got much more than an hour, but it depends on compute requirements. Imho it’s portable not wireless

Remake already means they failed.
All they did was get rid of the free at&t servers, upgrade a couple 2d sprites and put it in a launcher with a new price tag.

XIV (14): Temperance: experienced vast extremes and, as such, has grown to appreciate moderation. He also knows that the good things in life must be waited for and that patience is a key part of a harmonious life. https://www.mysticsense.com/articles/tarot/fools-journey/

The fools journey is the story of the tarot deck and experiences we have in life. It’s meant to be a guide through life’s struggles, it sounds like you could use this at this point in your life.

The simplest solution is Chromecast + device of your choosing. Followed by Apple TV, but I can’t remember if those can cast.

If youll spend a bit more, you can also get an Xbox one. You’ll get access to a multimedia device that has the Microsoft app store for subscriptions, it’s available as a Chromecast device, unfortunately Microsoft is nose diving hard right now, but I rarely play games on mine anymore.

💯 It was never hard, you just didn’t know the rhythm yet. Any game that is too lazy to figure out scaling just gets relabeled as a souls game. You’ll get the same experience playing most games without equipment.

More like buyers remorse…

First off, thank you for that write up. Would you mind sharing your opinion on 1x on trump and 6x justices simultaneously? At that point it’s a coup or a culling, but it’s a very loaded gun I don’t want to hand to anyone.

Just learned about her thanks! She is very passionate, clear and intelligent. Unfortunately this is a lesson most people learn about premium vacations and she made a 4 hour rant video about it. I’m not a star wars fan but I’m likely watching this whole thing.

First off, it’s important to understand Responsive Design and why you shouldn’t be writing your own css these days as a newbie. Bootstrap is a public css doc with a lot of those problems pre-solved, so you might want to look up some of their tooling.

As far as a website: you’ll need a domain name, you can get some for free, but they usually have short renewals otherwise this is unavoidable.

You can pay for “shared hosting” at any of the major vendors like blue host or GoDaddy and get apache or aspx file hosting for like you said $X0/year.

You can use an s3 static website for ~free. Creating a DNS hosted zone is $.50. but you can create an s3 bucket (think flash drive in the cloud) store a threshold of free documents, and publish them as a website all within the free tier of AWS. This has some technical background and AWS can get expensive of you make mistakes (although this shouldn’t scale much unless you upload a thousands ton of files repeatedly)

Alternatively you can use GitHub pages . Git is a tool used by developers to share and edit code, they let you publish free HTML as well, but requires learning git or figuring out a tool with a UI like source tree. I don’t think you can use custom domains with this though.

Although if you have any interest in tech, you can also create a free nginx docker container through a lot of services like ecs, but you can also self host in a “sandbox”. Docker creates a mini virtual machine with all of the code required to run self contained. Nginx let’s you create HTML docker containers by mounting a directory. ~ docker start nginx /website/directory And it just runs self contained.
