The kids know the grind is bullshit, and they see becoming an influencer as a way to escape that.
I have a strong doubt that kids see influencers as an “escape” from the grind, but rather as a “cool” career path where they can get fame and admiration from many people without a whole lot of study or physical labour put in.
Welp, it’s been 8 hours. Good morning, perhaps?
The recent Into the Spiderverse and Across the Spiderverse movies. Just gorgeous to look at, and really pushing the animation industry forward.
Another Kagi subscriber here. I do it mainly to support the little guy rather than some big tech giant like Google or Microsoft, but I’m quite enjoying the new features they’ve been adding over time.
I’m very keen to see this get battle tested in reviewers hands, and especially seeing what developers can make this thing do. The price is very high, but if it can live up to its claim of supporting AR desktops from a MacBook, I could see businesses and on-the-go freelancers getting some great use out of it where space may be limited.
What was your journey like getting into this as a career? What have been some of the toughest challenges you’ve faced as a researcher? Why did you specialise in automated binary analysis?
Can’t say I have. Have you got any resources I could look into to get started?
I’ve just built my first NAS. I went very overkill for my needs, so bought 5x8TB drives, 32GB of RAM, a Ryzen 5600G, and 1TB of NVMe SSD storage to compliment my HDD space. I’ve installed TrueNAS and have plugged the HDDs into a RAID-Z2 config, yielding about 20TB of usable space, with the 1TB SSD being a separate pool for anything that can benefit from faster IO, which have generally been applications / VMs. Currently using it as a network drive for all my data, and am using BorgBackup to ensure everything’s backed up. At some point I’d like to get a remote BorgBackup repository going, but I’ve not gotten around to it yet.
I’m also using it to host a VM for my web dev projects I can access via RDP and Tailscale, and have started installing PhotoPrism for my photos, SyncThing for my dev projects (so I can continue coding across my PC and laptop seamlessly), and eventually I’d like to get Plex / Jellyfin going, though I already have a setup going via WhatBox.
That would be pretty nice. I wonder if votes are stored purely as numbers or if there’s a table mapping users to posts they’ve up/down voted
Thanks for your answer, being fairly out of the loop on all of this it’s quite interesting to hear. I’ve also experienced a number of upgrade pains. I’m quite diligent with storing important data external to the OS, but it still sucks when the only real option is to nuke the drive and install again.
What pain points do you find with Linux? How does OpenBSD differ?
Quite interested to see some reviews of this device once it comes out. I’ve used the Quest 2 in the past and while it certainly is lacking compared to higher end models from other companies, the portability is king. It’s good to see the Quest 2 coming down in price after the price hike recently.
Love me the Jetbrains apps. Webstorm in particular I use on the daily, and I love how everything works out of the box, unlike vscode where you need to install a whole bunch of plugins.
That is, except for rust. I have no idea why, but the Jetbrains rust plugin is absolute garbage; it’s slow and inaccurately reports some errors while missing on errors the CLI would pick up. Rust is the main use case I have for using vscode, the language server there is rock solid, have had nothing but good experiences (outside of the pains of dealing with the borrow checker as a rust novice…)
I know nothing about the codebase, but being a developer myself, I’m curious to hear how complex you’d think the task would be, and how much domain knowledge of the fediverse / activity pub would be required.
On my desktop I use old.reddit.com with RES, and on my phone I make extensive use of Relay, which I absolutely adore. It’s a pleasure to use.
Happy paying customer here, it’s great to see the innovations they’re making and their interactions with the community.
