I wanna practice more python but I dont know how

to get started

anyone got tippers?

[grizzled holly]

Does this also allow for android?

[cedar thorn]

I haven't updated vivaldi in my android yet and I don't see it, but if you really need it proton has an app for their vpn in play store

[cedar thorn]

you already know python and wanna practice? just the syntax? exercises? wanna create projects to practice your python?

if you want to take some exercises this website is good:

[zenith plinth]

Ooo thankmsm

[cedar thorn]

I kinda knew it was true, but man it is very true, haven't done any real tests, just opening each browser with btm and checking the ram consumption and true it is. Still i'm not sure how things will be with a little bit of chromium extensions, like adblockers and such, so for customization vivaldi is the one that uses less ram, but it uses more than vanilla chromium

but, you were right dude

but vivaldi will support manifestV2 (better adblockers) for a while, meanwhile chromium it's right now on manifest v3 (less support for adblockers)

[gloomy lily]

tbf it could also be that it is less on vivaldi when many tabs are opened

Hello everyone, i was wondering if anyone has passed security + 701 and if there are any tips on studying. I'm currently using all of professor Messer free training course and taking notes on each video and topic, i also use pocket prep for security+ to test myself with different topics, and finally i use chat gbt to give me various questions on each topic and im currently getting 80% or higher. Is this a good way of learning 701 or should i be using other tools. anything helps. Thank you

[fleet prawn]

I just build an ryzen 5 8400f rx7600 pc with ddr5 but still getting low dps

How to solve

[gloomy lily]

did u plug in the monitor into the gpu? theres also an hdmi port on the motherboard

also check refresh rate in windows settings

and look for drivers maybe

or did u not mean to write fps?

[fleet prawn]

Fps

[fleet prawn]

I meant fpa

Fpa

Fps

[fleet prawn]

Yes i did connect with hdmi

[gloomy lily]

i mean that u should use hdmi to connect to the gpu and not to the motherboard

but if its not any of the issues i mentioned i honestly have no idea

[fleet prawn]

I have used a dp port. Better than the hdmi for connecting to tbe gpu

As my cpu can only provide video through the gpu

[gloomy lily]

maybe run a benchmark to see where it bottlenecks, could be something else than the gpu

but install drivers first

[hasty bobcat]

Hello, I'm interested, how is it going with you?

[valid locust]

I’m contemplating switching my major from Informatics with a concentration in Cybersecurity to Computer Science with a concentration in Cybersecurity. I think logically employers would respect a CS degree over an Informatics degree. I’m trying to make the decision before the start of the Fall 2025 semester. If you have an opinion on this, please feel free to respond.

[hollow plume]

this is only based on what i've read online but yes, i think employers would prefer a cs degree as it tends to be more well rounded.

have you looked into the differences in the curriculum at your university? as cs majors usually do not only more maths, but also at a higher level and tend to also have to take physics classes. i think that'd help to keep the door open with more possible career options. cs is more theory heavy than IT though. but a good foundation in theory will help you to have a solid understanding of the concepts once you're actually applying them.

however, from what i know, maths, especially higher level maths and let alone physics, isn't really needed for cybersecurity. so it's up to you if you're willing to take on more maths and maybe even physics. if it aligns with your interest and you want to keep your career options more open then i'd recommend switching to cs.

i'm a cs student though! so my recommendation comes with bias. but i think either way, both majors are still good! i prefer cs since i like maths and i want to keep my options open for more maths heavy fields. i also don't mind doing theory.

if you can, try to consult with an academic advisor at your university.

[lost forum]

If I were to upskill as a non CS student (med) by myself and work remotely
what are the stuff id have to learn?

[valid locust]

Thank you so much , I think I’m going to switch to CS. The math and physics don’t scare me because, I understand that’s just one of the things you have grind. Nevertheless, I think I will speak to an advisor regarding my situation.

[hollow plume]

no worries. i’m glad maths and physics don’t scare you! that wasn’t always the case for me haha, but i find it fascinating now. and i agree, they’re just things you have to grind. best of luck and hopefully an advisor can help guide you :)

[hollow plume]

that honestly depends on the kind of work you want to do. cs is a huge field

[lost forum]

well what are my options?

[hollow plume]

that’d be a never ending list

like i said it’s a huge field

[lost forum]

I'd pick anything that has the least amount of math and can get me earning lmao 😭

[hollow plume]

web dev then?

it’s pretty easy to learn

[lost forum]

whats in demand? and like i need to *earn *a lot i basically need money from side, so i can pay for my med university

[hollow plume]

the market seems to be saturated though so you’d need to make yourself stand out

[lost forum]

yeah then not that 😭

[hollow plume]

the cs market in general is pretty saturated atm ngl

[lost forum]

i know 😭 😭 thats why idk what to pick

[hollow plume]

trends are constantly changing and i don’t keep up with it so i just did a quick google search

[hollow plume]

ik you want to earn money and for a practical reason but honestly just pick whatever interests you the most

[lost forum]

UX and web dev is too saturated
and software dev and full stack takes too much time right?

[lost forum]

yeah no idc abt interest i jus care abt the demand in market and money 💀 i need to pay for uni

[hollow plume]

i’d say yeah, it takes a decent amount of time but not that long. the market is also just saturated in that area lol

[hollow plume]

you’re gonna struggle

[lost forum]

omg 😭

[hollow plume]

you need to be interested in it to some extent

[lost forum]

the entirety of CS is not my interest which is why im a med student so anything is same 🥹

[hollow plume]

are there other types of remote jobs you can consider?

[lost forum]

I dont think so
there is CS and copywriting idk if theres any other ways

my dad is worked in CS and he's almost 60 now

and he earned crazy amt

but now hes retired and i have to earn for my uni

but now its saturated and idk what to pick

[hollow plume]

do you have interests in copywriting?

[lost forum]

💀 idk anything works if it pays i swear
if it pays its interesting

[hollow plume]

and yes cs pays well, i have quite a few family members and family friends who work in the field

[hollow plume]

then it’ll be anything tbh

just choose whatever will be easiest for you

[lost forum]

let's say UI/UX or frontend dev
is that an easy path for me to pick? but thats the most saturated right

[hollow plume]

because the entire market is saturated regardless. the areas that aren’t are usually the ones that are harder to get into

[lost forum]

yeah exactly 😭

[hollow plume]

i’d say it’s easy to get into those

i think it’s best to just give it a go

[lost forum]

since im interested in remote, would people hire from a different country too? idk how this works

[hollow plume]

you’ll never know until you try

[hollow plume]

yes

[lost forum]

what would be my entry level pay on avg? (from wherever you are from is also fine)

[hollow plume]

if you have the skills they want, and you have the portfolio to show that you can apply those skills, and you market yourself good enough then you can find remote work

[hollow plume]

that depends the kind of work you get. if you’re interested in having a fixed job or doing contract work

[lost forum]

oooh id be more interested in fixed cause thats gaurenteed pay every month

[hollow plume]

you can search for the average pay in your country then

the average pay in my country won’t be of relevance to you

[lost forum]

oh wont other countries hire fixed jobs on remote?

[hollow plume]

yes but i’m not entirely sure how much the pay would be if you’re converting between currencies

you’re probably going to want to get remote work from employers in your country or countries where the currency is not too far off

like i live in nz and if i wanted to do remote work i’d probably be best looking for work in australia

our currencies are close but they pay better lol

[lost forum]

ohhh makes sense

ive never thought this way

[hollow plume]

tbh i’ve never done remote work so i’m just sharing what i know from having been interested in it before

[lost forum]

if i were to try in ux/ui or in frontend where do i start from?

[hollow plume]

i’m not familiar with those fields, particularly ux/ui but i’m assuming you’d have to learn design software, like something from the adobe suite

but as for front end, definitely start with html and css. they’re your foundations and are easy to get into. after that maybe learn javascript? it basically makes your websites more functional

that’s the extent of my knowledge in those areas

[lost forum]

whats your speciality in?

[hollow plume]

there are lots of free resources online for front end but i haven’t really explored it since middle school so i’m out of touch

[hollow plume]

i can’t really say i specialise in anything yet* since i’m just a first year cs student. but i have random knowledge about most areas. my main interests rn are cybersecurity and data science

[lost forum]

can i do those?

[hollow plume]

cybersecurity? most likely. there are certifications you can earn online. but cybersecurity isn’t an entry level field. you usually have to start off in something like IT support, like at a helpdesk.

as for data science, that’s maths so stats specifically and from what i know you’d need a relevant degree to get into it

[lost forum]

oh nvm then 😭 ig ill try out frontend and copywriting both and see what works?

[hollow plume]

yes give those a go

those are much more easier to get into

hopefully you end up enjoying either

[lost forum]

yesss tysm

[hollow plume]

best of luck!! mad respect for being a med student and working 🙏

Hello World

I’m an International Business & Trade student looking for a buddy who can help me out with Framer. For my final year bachelor project, I want to build a cool website to impress my teachers. I’ve already made the prototype in Adobe XD. Of course, your time is valuable, so I’m happy to negotiate a price. DM me or reply to this message if you’re down to help a fellow student out!

[toxic zephyr]

Hi guys, I'm having an issue with trying to install Linux Debian 12 Bookworm

About my situation:

• Lenovo Thinkpad x1 Carbon Gen 8 (16gb RAM, 512gb ssd) , boots to BIOS and previously ran windows 10 pro with no issues

• Trying to install Debian 12 Bookworm using a 2gb USB I created using balena etcher

I have never used Linux before and am fairly unfamiliar with things like programming and IT. I would have started with Linux mint but I require the use of x11 and KDE Plasma 5 (not 6) for my use case involving Krita and my drawing tablet

The first error message I encountered was "failure of key exchange and association." This problem was unexpected and I do not know where it may be coming from as I have never had any issues connecting to my wifi network using this password on any other devices. Multiple other devices were using the network when I received this message.

After this I decided to use my phone's hot spot. With this I was able to install the base system, but received the "Bad Archive Mirror" error after selecting United States (where I am), then selected the default archive mirror. After receiving the error message I attempted to connect to the US specific one but received the same bad archive mirror error.

I have now aborted the download and started over from scratch, wiping the USB and ISO files and rewriting them 3 times, and the same error messages occur in the same situations every time. If anyone has any ideas as to why I cannot connect to a network I have never had any past issues with, I would appreciate it.

[hot spoke]

i have had this issue on older debian version as well
like 4 years ago my track pad didn't work out of the box as well and i had to install the driver separately. I guess that your this device is new as well(my device new at the time). For debian it takes time to update. It tries to more stable so it doesn't have the newest kernels and updates. My recommendation is that if you want something like debina try out ubuntu in live (i am not a fan of ubuntu) and see if it works. If that didn't work check out endeavour os it is basically arch but you have the option to boot in live mode as well. i think that endeavour os will probably work. you can checkout fedora as well it is something between arch and debian in terms of updates.
just wondering, why do you need kde plasma 5 explicitly? and i know that if you use the complete installation iso (not the netinstall) you need more then 2gb for the usb stick
sorry if it's too long
btw writing this on debian 12

you can dm if you needed help

[hollow plume]

what's the same error you keep getting? "failure of key exchange and assocation" or "bad archive mirror?"

i haven't had those issues before but i'm happy to try and troubleshoot it with you if you still haven't solved it. i'm running nobara os atm which is fedora* based and i previously ran arch for a long time

[toxic zephyr]

Update: the issue happened to be the network, I set up a temporary 2.4g network and connected to that rather than the usual 5g network I use with everything else and I was able to go through the normal Debian install process, got to the very end where it asks the user to remove the USB and let it reboot, which I did, but it never came back up. It won't even boot to the BIOS anymore. The only thing that happens is when I plug it in, the red dot of the i in the thinkpad logo on the cover blinks red 3 times. I tried hitting the emergency reboot hole with a paperclip twice, both times pressing for exactly 10 seconds, and nothing happened.
tried to hard reset by removing the battery and holding down the power button for 15-20 seconds. Nothing changed, I still get the light blinking 3 times and no boot. I'm worried I either didn't remove the USB fast enough or removed it too late at the very end there

This device came to me with 92% battery health btw

[hollow plume]

it shouldn't matter if you didn't remove the usb fast enough or removed it very late after it asks you to remove it

so do you get nothing at all when you try to turn your device on?

[toxic zephyr]

Nothing

[hollow plume]

did you try the bios key for your device?

i think it's F1 for thinkpad

you basically spam press it at boot

[toxic zephyr]

Yeah, nothing happens, not even the Lenovo splash screen comes up

[hollow plume]

so aside from that and removing the battery, have you tried anything else?

[toxic zephyr]

No, I'm not sure what else I could do

[hollow plume]

okay just checking to see what you've done so i can get rid of it as a possible solution

[toxic zephyr]

thanks

[hollow plume]

how long have you owned the device?

[toxic zephyr]

Less than a week, I got it off ebay

[hollow plume]

how long were you running windows 10 for?

[toxic zephyr]

I'm not sure how long the device was running it, I only had it for a couple days

It came to me with windows 10 pro already installed

[hollow plume]

okay i'm just gonna do some googling

do you have an external display?

[toxic zephyr]

I do

[hollow plume]

could you try connecting it and booting up?

i don't think it'll help tbh but easiest possible solution to cross out

[toxic zephyr]

Yeah nothing comes up

[hollow plume]

by any chance did you get the thinkpad for a really good deal?

i'm thinking it could be a hardware issue

you were able to run windows 10 fine so that's why i'm not 100% certain on it but you also seem to have only ran it for a short period of time

[toxic zephyr]

No it seemed a pretty average price for the specs

The seller had another one of the same model and specs and it ended up selling for the exact same price as the one I bought

I can send you the listing if you want?

[hollow plume]

no it's okay. they said nothing was wrong with it? does the seller have good reviews?

[toxic zephyr]

98.2% positive from 246 feedback reviews and they sell a lot of other thinkpads. The description of the listing I bought said "tested and everything else is working. Fresh install of win 10 pro. Battery capacity is 46860/51010Wh"

[hollow plume]

got it. would you be comfortable removing the cmos battery?

https://support.lenovo.com/my/en/solutions/ht508716-removal-and-replacement-videos-thinkpad-x1-carbon-gen-7-20qd-20qe-thinkpad-x1-carbon-gen-8-20u9-20ua

there's a guide here (coin cell battery removal)

you would just be removing it then putting it back in

[toxic zephyr]

Yeah I can try that, I was planning on taking it to a technician later today at a computer repair shop

[hollow plume]

ohh it might be best to just take it to a computer repair shop. is it a trustworthy one?

[toxic zephyr]

Yeah it's a local place that's pretty highly recommended

[hollow plume]

okay, i'd recommend just taking it first there then. hopefully they can sort it out. just let them know

1. what you were doing - you were trying to install linux and were able to complete the installation process until you tried to reboot the device. but nothing longer appears at boot and you're unable to boot into bios even after trying to press the bios key
2. what you've tried to help solve it - removing the battery and holding down the power button for 15-20 seconds

let them know that you noticed you get 3 blinking lights. from my googling, depending on the thinkpad model (i think something to do with older and new models), this could either be nothing or it could indicate a hardware issue

if you want, try to also suggest removing the cmos battery

[toxic zephyr]

Thanks man I'll let you know what happens

[hollow plume]

i~~'ll also just add that it could also possibly be settings you might've had to configure in the bios before trying to install linux, or something you did during the installation process.~~ nvm i feel like it's likely a hardware issue. lots of factors to consider, but hopefully the repair shop can help. feel free to let me know how it goes. best of luck!

[toxic zephyr]

brought to the shop and i'll probably hear back from them in 24 hours or so

[hollow plume]

okay fingers crossed they can fix it

also i'm assuming, that if they do fix it, they'll tell you what was wrong with it (i've never been to a repair shop since i just fix everything myself so i'm not sure how they work but anyway)

if that's the case, try to also ask them what they did to fix it. note it down, so that if you encounter the same issue again in the future then you know how to troubleshoot it. but also, if they were (unfortunately) unable to fix it, it'd also still be good to ask what they tried. that way, if you want to take it to a different repair shop then you can let them know what the previous one has tried, or if you want to try to fix it yourself then you know what's already been tried

just if you want to 🫡

[toxic zephyr]

thanks man i'll see what happens

[toxic zephyr]

got the laptop back! its all working now, turns out i just had the right charger. kinda embarrassing it was such an incosequential issue but im glad everything is okay

[hollow plume]

woohoo!! glad it's all good now. and that's okay, at least it didn't turn out to be a super serious problem. are you able to boot into debian?

also just realised i said earlier i'm using a debian based distro when i meant fedora oops.. but anyway...

[limpid belfry]

I finish my portfolio. If anyone can give a feedback https://qmikeehxz.vercel.app/

i buyed bose quitecomfort ( 2024 ) for around Rs. 16k but its Anc is terrible indoors which other headphones should i m planning to buy Realme Buds Air 6 pro with 52dB anc will that be any better or CAN ANYONE SUGGEST ME ANY BETTER OPTION ( under $100 ) except APPLE ?

[lusty bear]

for the price, and if they're available on your region, try the QCY Melobuds Pro. Honestly I don't think any TWE can beat them at that price.

[ripe matrix]

can anyone provide good resources to learn dsa from?

currently just solving basic questions from hackerrank and occasionally using grokking algorithms for reference.

[viscid stag]

Guys is there anyone who uses scriptable on ios here?

[floral shore]

https://github.com/jigwawwf/scriptable-habit-tracker can you try this if you have it on your phone I don't know if it is complitable with other phones

[idle dew]

looked into this

this is so cute

Hey!, My company got a ransomware attack on their main NAS and I was wondering if you guys think there is any way to recover some crucial files that got encrypted (I understand that it probably won't be possible) also apparently an antivirus can be installed to the NAS, could this maybe solve the problem? Excuse my lack of knowledge on this topic 😭

[gleaming pike]

best channels to learn c basic or c programming language

[trim rock]

sry if reply is late but

1. idt data recovery is possible as prolly your entire raid array is encrypted (if u are using a raid setup)

2. antivirus on a nas is v rare cauz usually u use other precautions like closing unused ports and filtering n stuff

how exactly was your nas setup?

was it truenas on bare metal or in a hypervisor?

[hushed glacier]

scam?

[balmy palm]

yo guys i am preparing for sde interview can someone get me resource for cs subjects( dbms , os , cn , oops) and system design , it would be better if they are concise and short 🙂

[woven prism]

hey guys im starting electrical engineering this year, should l invest into a pc, a new laptop (i have the m1 macbook air rn), audrino kit or some similar stuff... any pointers and tips would be greatly appreicated

[floral shore]

idk what programs that electrical engineer students use but if your laptop has 16gb of ram you are good to go it will cover most of your works imo

[trim rock]

a breadboard,arduino uno, a bunch of wires, 5 leds of all 4 types, a full set of capasitors and resistor sheets, a frw inductor coils and a ldr, hall sensor based on course requirment is a base

now the question is

what are u doing?

6502 based stuff? matlab?

for most stuff the m1 will be fine but matlab and pspice needs more juice

just look at your course work and decide

[woven prism]

what kind of coding should l learn for electrical engineering, i wanna start now and do it in my free time for audrino projects too, what websites and resources should l be using? (first time never done any coding in my life)

[trim rock]

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGs0VKk2DiYw-L-RibttcvK-WBZm8WLEP&si=3B5DrCT8h29Nj5B6

also look at ben eater on yt

and learn c/c++ for the heck of it

also a spice program,matlab and some form of schematic program will be needed

[woven prism]

thank you so much bro

[south shoal]

Well i am in college and i see most of em doing computers pythons and what not so for basic automations and visualizations on physics and chemistry do i really need to learn python or could i use AI and maybe improve the prompts to fulfill my objective?

[gloomy lily]

if youre told to use python id recommend just learning it, or at least the basics. If you only rely on AI without any python knowledge it will be pretty painful to debug, but with basic python skills, which can be learnt in a few hours it already helps a lot

[clear raven]

looks greate dude,

[south shoal]

thanks mate

[midnight frost]

looks clean twin luv it❤️‍🩹

[trim rock]

that wierd cauz usually u see R or top level jullia programing for that

i guess your python use case is just numpy and basic ai initialisation

in which case python is nice but not the only thing out there

[south shoal]

spot on i only seem to work with numpy and matplot

[old river]

anyone on here experienced with laravel?

if yes, please text me and be my saviour

[icy lotus]

Hi there! Could you take a look at my portfolio and share your feedback? https://rickinshah.vercel.app

[trim rock]

what do u do tho?

your site looks like a normal collage potfolio site

if u looking for a corporate job, use a light theme with submenus instead of a single scroll so that the bots companies use have a hard time reading text in one go

if u a front end or something make it more engaageing

i once saw this site and its the perfect example of engagement https://bruno-simon.com/

this site was from a reddit post there are a bunch of good ones i suggest u see them all

also NEVER put your phone number and personal details on a public faceing site before anything remove your resume at once

all comunications should be through a dedicated email address seperate from personal email

oh also putting vs code and neovim and arch as "skills" makes u look like a tryhard

most senior devs have used emacs,this is true around the world including india,they will not be impressed

this includes other ides u put there like ellipce

[icy lotus]

i mean yeah i am a college student and not a frontend developer but thanks for the feedback

[icy lotus]

so i shouldn't add IDE? just the technologies and tools?

[trim rock]

yee

tell me straight if i had to employ u what use does u knowing nvim have?

[icy lotus]

yes i get your point

[trim rock]

before anything PLS PLS PLS REMOVE YOUR RESUME. YOUR PHONE NUMBER AND EDUCATION DETAILS SHOULD NEVER BE ON A PUBLIC FACEING SITE

you are practically doxxing yourself

[icy lotus]

isn't resume a good thing on portfolio?

[trim rock]

no your resume is practically just your linkedin profile

look as most potfolio sites, none will have a resume pdf

[icy lotus]

i mean i haven't posted anything on linkedin profile tho

[trim rock]

dude.........do it

[icy lotus]

ohhh now that you pointed it out

[trim rock]

thats your profile

[icy lotus]

i see i will be doing that

[trim rock]

also the green boxes on your github are also important

fill it up

[icy lotus]

yeah but that's kind of hard

commiting to repo everyday

[trim rock]

a lot of ppl look and documentation and fix a typo

nobody cares if its a repo or a comment or something

just activity

look for typos and fix it

[icy lotus]

ahh i see in that way i can make a script or something for that

[trim rock]

that is a dpuble edge blade cauz if someone in tye rare chance does see it.....

then u know

[icy lotus]

😂 yeah valid

btw i have done the changes like removing ide and resume from the site

[trim rock]

thata fine man i highly sudgest looking at that thread on reddit on the best potfolio sites

a lot of insperation there

fuck my speeling is bad

[icy lotus]

yeah but those are too creative like using threejs and all. css and designing related things i am kind of bad

[trim rock]

dude.........i am sure most companies want that unless u looking at banglore tech or a corporate it job

there are a lot of normal sites there using astro.js as well

a few react based

just look at those to gage competition?

also i know a lot of ppl using web asembly in their sites

[icy lotus]

ohh i will definitely check it out

[trim rock]

the point is tou need to wow the guy looking at your site

[icy lotus]

yeahh got your point. I appreciate your feedback

[trim rock]

welcom :)

[calm onyx]

can someone guide me from where i can learn dsa

[icy lotus]

If you are new to dsa and know the basics of c/c++. I would suggest the dsa course by abdul bari on udemy.

[calm onyx]

Okiee

hi guys what do you think about the desing of this web app ? is the 1st test of the FreeCodeCamp js course
https://mrp-god.github.io/-TEST--polindrom-Web-APP/

• lets me know if the color pallet is being used somehow correcetly for a light theme
  i dont have the pallet (dont know what i was thinking) but i used this setup of colors
  --background: white;

would l have to do something like this as an electrical engineer (sorry i’m in my first year)

the beebuz project seems cool , what is that a reddit clone?

[trim rock]

yea

[woven prism]

oh wtf 😭 i have like nothing for mine so far

[trim rock]

actually for non cs degrees a personal site is more for blogs n stuff

its not exactly a potfolio

[woven prism]

blogs?

[trim rock]

look at jeff geerlings personal site as an example

[woven prism]

like the think facebook moms have?

[trim rock]

no like arc technica and hackernews

[woven prism]

ohh

all i have so far is a resume which is pretty shit

[trim rock]

resume is useless

[woven prism]

the only e.e related thing i have on it is the code i know, my audrino projects so far and skills like soldering 🧑‍🏭

[trim rock]

for proper engineering ypur cgpa and technical qualification are essential

[woven prism]

what’s a cgpa

and technical qualitative

[trim rock]

your collage grade

[woven prism]

qualification

oh i’m only a first year

[trim rock]

stuff like certificates from big institutes and workshops

[woven prism]

i think my wam is like 90+

[trim rock]

all subjects will have a number of credits associated

[woven prism]

do i start applying for work experience now?

[trim rock]

no

idk how its doen in your country but in india internships start in the fourth semester if u reach a set credit cutoff

[woven prism]

what am i supposed to focus on as my degree progresses? cus i think my uni has compulsory 60 day work experience but that’s in my 3rd year

[trim rock]

focus on life have fun

you will know when u need to know

[woven prism]

💀 i feel so behind tho

[trim rock]

ask your friends what they doing

its your first year its ligit the start

[woven prism]

they aren’t rlly doing anything tbh

they js do the uni work and that’s it

[woven prism]

yeah ig so, but when do i start worrying about the other things

[trim rock]

look idk how it is where u live but usually first year is chill, second year is hell and 3 n 4 are where u do cirts and accolades n shit

[woven prism]

ohh okay okay

[woven prism]

idk everyone is chill but ig i js wanna get ahead

but maybe i js have tiktok brain

seeing everyone else being so far ahead gives me fomo

[trim rock]

look as far as i am aware you ee ppl do fourer transform fourer series and stuff

do that for now

[woven prism]

what the heck did u js say

[trim rock]

i am sure u will figure what u need to do as time progresses

[woven prism]

fourer transform fourer series

😭 HUH

we do that?

[trim rock]

ok yea dw

u will figure shit out

just chill

[icy lotus]

yeah kind of
it has feed, video conferencing, chatting, discord like communities and channel with roles(but is basic one not too advanced)
i made it as a university project
If you are interested, you can signup as it is open for everyone(just use a valid email cause it send mail for account activation)

[latent gate]

i ll give it a look , nice stak u used

[latent gate]

guys can i share someting , how many of you thnk that now is more worth to have laptop instead of a pc?

• before the common sense was if u need power u go with the pc,
  beacuse laptop is less powerfull and the graphic cards as well
• but now even if the grapic cards lacks is not so deep as before so

[trim rock]

y not both

[latent gate]

u mean why not both?

[icy lotus]

If portability is not the issue and you want a powerful gpu for like ML, gaming or rendering purpose then go for PC. If you have casual use then it doesn't matter, you can go for either laptop or pc.

[trim rock]

yes

unless u are going for the monstrosities that modern nvedia cards are, a small itx case is enough to pack a punch while being easier to relocate

i know a few ppl who bought a small 10in rack and rack mounted their pc and networking gear in a small homelab set up

can pick it up and plop it whereever u feel like it

a laptop is only usefull for true protability

like walking around campus n stuff

it honesty depends on your uni or collage

is there a restriction on hi voltage in hostel rooms?

will a low powered chromebook be able to act like a terminal to a larger machine?

it honestly depends on a lot of factors

[latent gate]

Yes for that u are right

i was thinking how if ur task are not havilly centered with graphcs and havy processing power , where 80% of people do not is good a laptop where before wasnt , recently I started using a laptop for my task and I find it more suitable for me

[trim rock]

honestly modern laptops are very bad, would personally prefer a old thinkpad. i know a most ppl use laptops for low power uses so i guess a laptop is better

but more power never hurts

[latent gate]

No worries I was talking with thikpas in mind , not to hold tho at least a trakpad

[fast depot]

Ty for the heads up, imma get going on 2nd year’s material on the first :)

[fast depot]

Depends on your goal, it’s cheaper to get the hardware for a PC + typically has better performance for the same money as a laptop in the same price range, but consumes a shitload more power (and depending on where you live, power can be expensive asf)

Personally I’m planning on using my M4 MacBook Pro as a machine to use docked + portable, with a pc for server tasks/gaming that can’t be done on an M4 mac

currently using my HP laptop as a desktop which I occasionally take with me, works well for most stuff cause it’s recent-ish, but hard to do any serious gaming with Vega graphics

And bonus for laptops is when they get old you can use them as power efficient servers or smth if you like 🤷‍♂️ - saying as I occasionally run my 2015 MacBook Air as a media server n stuff

[latent gate]

guys what do u think of this web design , im trying to learn but i have no clue how to add dept to thosee canvas , in the canvas tere will be like a node graph like obsidian but with rectagles

Hey everyone! Can anyone help me how can I copy and paste into my VM from my host machine. It would greatly help me improve the time it takes to config it. Thanks in advance 🙂

[scarlet relic]

you mean like copy and paste files and folders? what worked in my case was to create a shared folder between my desktop and the VM

[gloomy lily]

usually in your vm manager(or wtv its called) you can configure it pretty easily. for virtualbox a rightclick on the vm in the vm list should offer a settings menu. IIRC in the general section theres an option to enable it

well I guess you can google that yourself. I haven't used virtualbox in a while so I can't really remember unfortunately

[idle dew]

Hello I'm new here. I just searched for a server that talks about technology because I need it so much. I'm an upcoming first year college student and I got the BSIT course. I'm so nervous because I don't have so much knowledge about technology and I'm trying to study it right now before I go to college in July. I really need people that can help me to tell me the basics that I need to learn and if you can recommend some youtubers that I can watch to learn stuff. Any help would mean a lot to me. Thank youu👾

[trim rock]

hey man just wanna say dont cross post the same question in multiple channels. i think u posted the same thing in #general-help-chat right?

[fast depot]

Depends on what you count as “tech” - Linux and PCBs are both under the tech umbrella but very very different things iykwim

On that note, for computers, and more specifically Linux, Techno Tim (+ T.T. Tinkers), HardwareHaven, Chris Titus Tech - these are probably the most solid yt channels for it, though a lot is best learnt from experience - for eg. I got curious about penetration testing, so I gave Kali Linux a try since it had a lot of stuff ready out of the box and neatly organized (I’m not advertising Kali as a good Linux distro, merely my humble beginnings with Linux)

[wicked cosmos]

hi i just searched up the BSIT course and see that it's very broad and covers a little bit of everything meaning you don't need much background knowledge for the course (if it was a requirement it'd probably say so)

though, i see that it covers topics such as: data structures, networking and operating systems

i haven't taken BSIT myself so i wouldn't know exactly but to get a sort of headstart i'd recommend you look up some sort of gcse/a-level computer science textbook to skim through on the topics that you're expecting on the course. since they're highschool textbooks for a introductory computer science course i feel like it would be laid out in an easy to understand way for someone who doesn't have much knowledge on tech in general

[idle dew]

I really appreciate your advice @fast depot and @wicked cosmos

[fast depot]

Lmk if u need anything more specific, I’m into computers so Ik a thing or 2 ;)

[wicked cosmos]

no problem! if you have any questions or need any help you can ask me

good luck with BSIT

[idle dew]

Thank you guys

It's a huge help for me to talk to you guys

[latent gate]

@idle dew if u need something for software stuff rather then hardware , im here

not so advance but im eating books and docs as crazy this days

[idle dew]

Thank you! I appreciate your kindness

[noble hornet]

is there a website or an ai that can translate multiple documents at once?

[fast depot]

• DeepL Pro, but it’s not free
• Amazon Translate Bulk has a looooot of characters free (for a year, 2 million chars), but business oriented (needs work to set up)
• Smartcat has a 14 day free trial
• something that uses Google Translate Batch API, 1/4th the characters of amazon (0.5 million chars), developer oriented (needs work to set up)

I tinker with tech and am likely to need to translate a looot soon, so I’ll probably set up Amazon translate bulk since I’m good with tinkering, but perhaps DeepL Pro or Smartcat might work best for you since they don’t require much if any setup at all

[upper crane]

Do y'all have tips on how to take notes for an online course? I'm currently taking DSA 1 and the textbook that we're using is online. In addition to paper/digital notes, I was thinking of making flashcards for vocabulary or coding examples but wasn't sure what might be the optimal way to go about studying for the course.

[noble hornet]

thanks but like can it translate stem related questions?

DeepL pro

[fast depot]

I wouldn’t know, I’ve not used DeepL Pro, sorry :/

[fast depot]

Depending on what works for you, Anki (digital flashcards) might satisfy your needs, obsidian perhaps, or Jupiter Notebook if there’s coding examples you’d like to save

[upper crane]

Thanks!

[fast depot]

Let us know how it works out if you have time after the exam, but more importantly, best of luck!!

[hoary sapphire]

can u guys tell me jvscholz’s setup with arch linux, ik he uses i3wm and i have his dotfiles, i would like to know his filemanager, login manager, etc

[trim rock]

idk about login manager

but he dosent use a file manager

he uses tree graphs in the terminal

earlier that was yazi or something else

but as far as i know he just using NERDTree plugin in neovim

or something similar in emacs

also in general most ppl doing bother with login managers

just login from ctl directly

i guess tty or ly is what you would want if u really need a login manager

[frosty sequoia]

anyone knows a c counterpart for the cppquiz.org website?

here is how it looks

[woven prism]

does anyone know what i did wrong

y my led not glowing

[fast depot]

not very helpful, but not everything works for everyone, so whilst James (or anyone for that matter, myself included ofc) might use x, you might find x doesn't suit the bill for you, and instead find y better for your way with interracting with yur linux machine :)

that being said, i believe some things in the dotfiles might give in to what programs he's used in the past, maybe not though, depends and i can't know for sure without having gone through them myself, though i recon you've gone through them yourself and not found them

good luck with it though! <3

[trim rock]

what sort of unholy shit did i just see?

are u trolling or are u genuanly asking?

[woven prism]

😭 is it that bad

genuinely asking

what

why would l be trolling

[trim rock]

your resistor is in the same channel as your led lead as far as i can see

[woven prism]

is that wrong

[trim rock]

u powering it with potential on both sides

[trim rock]

u need the positive side to be powered and the negitive to ground

[woven prism]

oh

i get it now

mb mb

[trim rock]

the resistor is appling potential on both leads

shift the resistor to the outermost channel and double check the led polarity

the long leg is + and short is - on an led

[woven prism]

ok imma do that rn and check

i don’t get it

OH I GOT IT

IM SO STUPID

THATS SO COOL

[gloomy lily]

the excitement for a glowing led is crazy

but I agree

[woven prism]

first project

[trim rock]

just wait till he forgets to put the resistor

thats where true exitement lies

i still remeber powering a led directly and it blowing up

[gloomy lily]

lmao

[scarlet relic]

OMGGG LETS GOO

that was me one year ago ahahah

right now i am building an Op-amp for my electronics project

still have to solder a lot of components

it's supposed to have a gain of 41dB 😭

[latent gate]

guys what do u think about the friendly elec CM3588 nas kit?

@fast depot

i finily finished my first app , and im venturing again in the hardware, i come ap with the idea of using my ser8 belink pc with couldflare tunnel to host my web app 🙂
the CM3588 was just to buil a nas dont know why eaither

[trim rock]

i saw that last year on a few forms

its a rockchip soc

aparently there are 2 variants with 1900mbs and 2200 mbs write speeds

other than that its a chinese board with bad documentation for debian atleast

plus i suspect the new intel n100 will be better than that

TLDR its good for max ~4 Tb anything larger will be a PITA

strictly speaking performance is nice

[trim rock]

if this is your first nas then go for a synology or pi or make your own with x86 parts

[latent gate]

x86 ? not 64

[trim rock]

yes x86

[bright quail]

yeah admittedly i may be stupid

but if it's your first one and maybe you aren't wanting to dive into the nas rabbit hole and you just want a plug and play solution, i've only had experience with a ds218+ synology nas but it's easy to set up and next to no hassle to keep up

if you have the budget for it and you don't want to troubleshoot both your app and your hardware, then stick with the easy to use hardware

Hey @everyone, does anyone here use Linux mint cinnamon

[trim rock]

used to

[vagrant drift]

Oh, it’s just I installed it yesterday and it’s working fine just the front audio jack on my pc and the Bluetooth isn’t working… about the Bluetooth ( I doubt out it was because of my CSR dongle )

[trim rock]

so wired and wireless audio not working?

@vagrant drift hello?

[vagrant drift]

Yes, wired that too from the front audio jack only , the back one is working fine

And the wireless one, I found the fix that I have to buy a new dongle

[trim rock]

enable pulseaudio

systemctl --enable pulseaudii

[vagrant drift]

I did , and it didn’t work

[vagrant drift]

What about the app

[trim rock]

???

[vagrant drift]

There is an app for pulse audio right

This is not from my pc but it looks like this

[gilded cave]

restart your pc

wait what Distro and DE u use?

[trim rock]

thats not pulse audio that the sound gui from cinnamon

[trim rock]

could u check if its a 3.5 jake or a usb audio jack?

[gilded cave]

mint uses pulse audio btw

[vagrant drift]

Mint cinnamon

[trim rock]

every debian based distro changes shit randomly based on emotion all the time. Ubuntu is the best example

[vagrant drift]

Ohh

[gilded cave]

i use mint xfce

[vagrant drift]

3.5 the one that comes in pink and green

[trim rock]

do aplay -l and send output

[gilded cave]

didn’t it come with pre installed volume control gui?

[vagrant drift]

Wait

[gilded cave]

or smth

[vagrant drift]

Give me some time I am having dinner

[trim rock]

ok take your time mate this is usually a long process

[vagrant drift]

It sure is

[gilded cave]

i moved to mint bcuz i couldn’t able to fix the wifi gui on alpine linux i can relate

[trim rock]

??? thats unrelated alpine uses alpine mint uses gnu

[gilded cave]

ik

wait idek what alpine used lmao

i just installed it bcuz i have a shitty laptop

[trim rock]

alpine is for the wierd ppl who dont like richard stallman

no one actually uses it

[gilded cave]

it was super lightweight tho

i kinda fw it

[trim rock]

linux is actually not light when it comes to unix

try netbsd once

or dragonflybsd

linux is actually kinda bad but i still use it cauz i like it

Hello, I'm currently working on a homework for my water engineering program but I've stumble upon a problem in Civil 3D. Was asking if anyone has experience with it can shot me a dm, would appreciate it 🙏

[solar mulch]

Hey, guys!
I recently started using Obsidian, and I really like the app. However, I strongly dislike the need to pay for synchronization between my Mac and iPhone.
I've tried using Syncthing and iCloud, but they don't work as I'd like (mostly due to iOS system limitations; my MacBook works as it should).
So, what's your setup? What are you using? Do you use it on just one device and don't need to sync, or do you use other storage options? Do you actually pay for Obsidian Sync?
Please share your experience.

[trim rock]

i just use syncthing and sometimes any dc client(dc++, linuxdc etc)

i dont have a apple device but i have a hackintosh,mac os is just xnu you can make it work on p2p services

i never understood obsidian or notion

tried it, cant wrap my head around it

for notes i use latex (vimtex plugin for vim)

latex on one half and a pdf reader like zathura on the pther half

gives live previews and math curves render fine

[solar mulch]

Yo, that's cool, bro!
I think you're on the next level, but my brain is too smooth for that. Maybe someday...

[trim rock]

thanks! :3

i saw my senior using latex and then i saw a post on unixpo*n

so decided to try it

it has a learning curve but its in the relm of possability

[exotic relic]

Anyone know a good dock that works with m1 mac mini and a hp work laptop? And can connect a 49 inch samsung ultrawide?

i mean as long as it has usb-c to connect to the device and an HDMI port with enough bandwidth for whatever resolution at whatever colordepth and whatever refreshrate your ultrawide has it should be fine right?

[full escarp]

Hi guys
My laptop doesn't have a bluetooth option, I tried using all the yt vids on this but still there is no option for bluetooth, when I try to add device- the screen just loads :/

[trim rock]

<@&942391219206647828>

[fiery pendant]

τhanks

[teal fog]

uninstall the bluetooth drivers that is downloaded with windows and then find the bluetooth drivers that are associated with ur device and download it

restart and pray ti works

[shell remnant]

It's just an easy markdown editor for me and makes link information markdown notes easier.

[wicked cosmos]

does your laptop even support bluetooth?

[wicked cosmos]

i mean you can always just use git

[gloomy lily]

eh kinda difficult on iphone isnt it?

[wicked cosmos]

well yeah a little but all they're doing is pulling and pushing their markdown notes

[gloomy lily]

but how do u get a command line to do all of that?

i suppose something using the ish shell, which creates a rootfs to chroot into could work, when you use a directory in that rootfs as the vault

not sure how limited obsidian is in that aspect

[wicked cosmos]

there's ios git clients on the appstore

[gloomy lily]

oooh

[wicked cosmos]

surely all it needs is access to the directory they're using

[wicked cosmos]

but yeah this feels like the more appropriate option

[gloomy lily]

it does sound good

maybe i should try a similar setup for my markdown stuff

[wicked cosmos]

"Working Copy" has a gui and i feel like most people aren't comfortable with navigating a cli

[wicked cosmos]

i was thinking about something similar, i've been using notability on my ipad for convenience though syncing through icloud isn't really convenient since i'm not in the apple ecosystem, maybe switching to obsidian with the excalidraw add-on

i'm not really familiar with using markdown though

[gloomy lily]

i had a setup with goodnotes before(i dont recommend goodnots though) where i just used a webdav server for backups and had it sync there everytime i was in wifi

so i had read-only pdfs on my other devices

[wicked cosmos]

yeah i feel like i could do something similar with notability but i often move stuff around and make changes when i read my notes

excalidraw would allow for that

the only reason i haven't yet is well

[gloomy lily]

true

[wicked cosmos]

laziness

its pretty annoying to migrate a year's worth of notes

[gloomy lily]

last time i tried excalidraw in obsidian it felt kinda hackish

[wicked cosmos]

how so

[gloomy lily]

like its just an embedded window

so its kinda meeh you kow?

idk it just didnt feel right

[wicked cosmos]

i'll try it out sometime and give you my thoughts i've only used excalidraw standalone and thought it was pretty good for what it does

[gloomy lily]

also as im still in school when I get paper sheets i need to be able to write on them, and i dont think theres an easy way for that with excalidraw

[wicked cosmos]

surely you can take a picture of the sheet and slap it into excalidraw to draw over it

[gloomy lily]

that works but again is kinda hackish

and ideally id use the ios scan function to get a proper image, but then the workflow would be super complex::

• go to files app to scan the sheet
• go back to obsidian
• create an excalidraw canvas
• create an image "widget" and select the scanned pdf
• write

well tbf, airdrop exists so most of the time I dont need to scan it myself

[wicked cosmos]

yeah that's fair

idk though it's not really an issue i've had myself though since in my school we don't really get worksheets

they just teach us the content and put questions up for people to attempt

[inland cedar]

is anyone into machine learning here (fine tuning etc..)

[waxen parrot]

Myself

[inland cedar]

whats your experience till now in ml?

[waxen parrot]

As in? Number of years?

[inland cedar]

yes

[waxen parrot]

I would say 3yrs in undergrad

[inland cedar]

konse year mai abhi?

[waxen parrot]

I graduated 2 years ago bro

[inland cedar]

lmao what you do now

or mtech?

[waxen parrot]

Data analyst

Python dev

[inland cedar]

cool

do you like use traditional ml models

or like pre processing and stuff

[waxen parrot]

Mostly pre processing. We don't use ML models often, only when the client demands it (once in a quarter)

[inland cedar]

Just cleared my Sem 4, what advise would you give me!

[waxen parrot]

That's a really vague question, what kind of advice do you need?

[inland cedar]

building career in machine learning ig

[waxen parrot]

Oh, mostly in big tech you won't be 'building' models, optimization is also not very frequent.

Data science field itself has been broken into two ways, Data analytics and GEN AI. Pick out which you would like better and hustle towards it

[inland cedar]

thanks!

[full escarp]

I have done this as well- didn't work

[inland cedar]

maybe search into local windows files for the bluetooth driver cause laptop do have those files

[wicked cosmos]

again, as i said, are you sure your laptop even supports bluetooth??

[idle dew]

is the boox note x a good device for manga and note-taking?

[bright quail]

it's a tablet

is a tablet a good device for manga and note-taking

depends on you

if you like that form factor, then yes

[wicked cosmos]

do u prioritise having an e-ink screen?

while yeah its alright for reading and note-taking thats about all you can do

and for a device that costs about 400 bucks i dont think you would really want it

[bright quail]

hopefully they already knew that 😂 e-ink tablets are such niche equipment that you probably need to know that much about it before asking about it

[wicked cosmos]

yeah was jsut about to say it's a very specific niche

i assumed they had heard of it from the jvscholz video and thought i'd fill them in just incase

because well yeah it's a really expensive device for a very specific niche

if price isnt an issue you can go for it

but on facebook marketplace im seeing a lot of kindle scribes for about a quarter of the price

[idle dew]

they're 260 on aliexpress

[wicked cosmos]

oh wait that's actually not too bad

they're bumped up a ton on their website

[idle dew]

my eyes strain form reading on a conventional screen so i thought eink would be a great fit for me

[wicked cosmos]

no that's perfectly valid i was saying all of this based off it being 400 bucks

[idle dew]

also i read ALOT so i require smth that doesnt hurt my eyes over a long period

[wicked cosmos]

if its 260 thats actually reasonable

[idle dew]

yh

[wicked cosmos]

yeah man i'd say go for it

[idle dew]

its still pretty expensive tho

so imma buy it when i actually need it like when i go to sixth form

[trim rock]

*excluding shipping

and duties

boox charges 120 for export within asia

180 for europe and NA

plus most countries put a 18% vat/import tax on eletronics

i read someware that it costs 520 ish in the schengen area

idc if the eink is mafe of gold thst aint worth it

[idle dew]

says free shipping on aliexpress

[wicked cosmos]

u can also try and go for a kindle

they're everywhere and dirt cheap

[idle dew]

no android and no micro sd card

also small

[wicked cosmos]

the first gen had a micro sd card slot

[delicate dew]

hi guys can someone please help me to build this counter on my alacritty terminal like the one on this video min: 16:42 https://youtu.be/2eVGQreqa20

[gloomy lily]

It's just a script with a tui. You can code it in python or any other language using curses https://docs.python.org/3/howto/curses.html

@delicate dew

So u just create a script, make it executable and move it to a path specified in $PATH(which you can see by using echo $PATH in your terminal). So:

$ code work (somehow create the script)
$ chmod +x work (make it executable)
# mv work /usr/local/bin (move it into $PATH)

[delicate dew]

yeah that's what i did and it works

[gloomy lily]

did u also make a fancy ui? if so, could u send it to me?

alias work='clear; date; echo "$(fortune)"; pause' :)

well everything except counting works..

[wicked cosmos]

do any of you guys use refind over grub

i discovered it recently and it seems pretty nice with a lot of pretty themes

[gloomy lily]

i see grub for 1 second when booting so its not rlly owrth it for me

[wicked cosmos]

yea fair

probably not really worth it for me either

it's not like i dual boot o ranything

[trim rock]

tried refind long ago on gentoo, i dont see a advantage in messing with a bootloader, its the same argument as "grub vs systemd-boot"

grub is convaluted but its a standard for a reasion.

an good anology to this subject would be bash vs fish or something

grub is overkill for most applications but it covers all bases and is defacto everyware

Hello, I am going to participate in a business planning competition, I choose to make a technology business plan whose products are hardware and software (IoT) for agriculture, such as temperature sensors, soil moisture, weather forecasts, and several other sensors and software. but I still don't know how to explain the production of the product later, because of course IOT production must be carried out by an IoT manufacturing factory. I heard about EMS (Electronic Manufacturing Services). can that be a solution?, if not, can you give me some advice for that?. but if yes, can anyone explain EMS to me?, I can ask AI for the basics, but I haven't been able to find information about the average price of the service, what the company is (I live in Asia), how the design will be, etc. Thank you.

ay yo peeps quick question

did libvirt drop support for uefi out pf the blue?

my iso images are unable to boot in uefi mode

defaulting to bios

i realised this when trying to install grub and grub struggling to find a efi path

tried it with gnome boxes and another libvirt based app

dint work in both

[gloomy lily]

unrealistic. You could check the changelogs but there could be many other reasons for it using bios like iso image or kernel

[trim rock]

i checked the xml file and it was all fine

i forced tianocore to superseed seabios and it just says not efi found

which is honestly not very discriptive

all my iso images are behaving this way and i use a LTS kernal

[trim rock]

i figured it out

systemd has efi issues 6.14 onwards

i have to manually mount images rather than trusting it to boot

honestly kinda infuriating

[gloomy lily]

fuck systemd!!

But glad u figured it out

anyone

please DM me

what are you exactly looking for!

[surreal folio]

any one good at react native i need some advice

[latent gate]

guys some help, do u have any idea how can I host a repository on my 2nd pc windows and be able to work with it lije git hub of course withut issues and other stuff related to github,

Iknow I have to make bare rebo but how tan I make it visible to others on the network

on the local one no public

[gloomy lily]

no idea whatu mean by "lije git hub" but if you run your own git server(which is what u r trying to do) then you wont have github

[gloomy lily]

you need to run a git daemon. ive never tried this on windows, but the command I use is git daemon --export-all --base-path=/srv/git /srv/git
to expose all repositories, in /srv/git.
If you want a proper setup, you probably want to make this a service or something so that it always runs in the background and restarts itself

you don't need to make them bare, but its a common practice as it takes up less storage that way

[gloomy lily]

as long as you dont open the port on your router or use a reverse proxy like ngrok, it should be local-only.
dfault port is 9418

https://git.github.io/htmldocs/howto/use-git-daemon.html

If you want a webui(called "forge" or "git forge") for it, at least on linux there is cgit, gitea or forgejo. Ig you can run them using docker

[latent gate]

Sr like git hub was written

Thanks for the advices still confsed but ill give it a try

[gloomy lily]

bascially you only need a git daemon running and watch out for open ports. other than that it depends on what you want, but if u simply want to share ur repository its unneeded

[gloomy lily]

still no idea tbh xd

[latent gate]

Lol my bad, leave that im no good at explain this stuff, genery I need 3 people on my home network to work at the same code. but with usitg git hub

Sounds better?

[gloomy lily]

except for usitg git hub, yes

though i wonder why it needs to run local and not just on some git provider

[latent gate]

for no reason actually @gloomy lily , im learning to self host my privat stuff, like repos, llms, and next web apps, i do use github for project with others tho

[gloomy lily]

ooh cool. Im also trying to self host stuff, just for fun though. Currently only git but im working on a pastebin-like service rn

[latent gate]

pastebin whats that

[gloomy lily]

It's a service where you can upload text or code to share it with others. Mine also supports images and basically any file format, so if I want to show someone a video I can upload it there, and just send the URL instead of uploading it to discord for example

Did nothing but work on that programm, sleep and eat today. My brain thinks in c now..

[latent gate]

I can feel what u say @gloomy lily

[trim rock]

damm this brings back memories of when i turned a old laptop into a server which did nothing

[trim rock]

tried to make a file shareing server

spent a lot pf time but never worked

[gloomy lily]

LMAO my rpi is currently doing nothing too

http://git.kentoj.de/cpaste/tree/
and I finally got it done!! yesterday coded until 4am again. So the whole project + life took around 30hours

hosting it private onyl though, dont want to deal with warrants because some pedo does his thing

[trim rock]

what warrents?

unless u use a free domain from .su then they wont do anything

[gloomy lily]

i mean if someone uses my service to share childp0rn or sth

[trim rock]

dude no one will be able to upload anything

[gloomy lily]

if i make it public yes

[trim rock]

cauz DNS is not like it used to be

[gloomy lily]

what i meant with publis is that the paste user does not have a password, so anyone can cat kids.png | [e-mail]

[trim rock]

that is a valid concern but its not really feesable cauz web crawlers can detect cp and simply unlist or backlist the domain in the registry

so u will just get a email from godaddy or whatever about violations

[gloomy lily]

thats not too cool

[trim rock]

i know about this cauz 5 years ago bogenville made their domain free and i got multiple emails about "piracy" and "Dmca" cauz that domain was used to host a torrent site earlier

same thing with .su

[gloomy lily]

ooh

well it could depend on country ig

or maybe u need to get sued first

[trim rock]

well bogenville and ussr are no longer countries

and governments dont actually give af

[gloomy lily]

those were countries? i though that was the domain provider lol

[trim rock]

the internet is beyond their grasp

[trim rock]

.su is tecnically under russia but they stoped issuing new domains so what we have is what we got

bogenville had a independence movement and ICAAN issued a domain "in solidarity"

yea how do u knwo the wheel works?

there should be a clicking sound when swiping/rotating or whatever its called

Thank you sm

Do you maybe know how I can keep that from happening in the future? The seller said that he had the same issue from time to time

the issue came back 😭

maybe its short-circuit that makes it get that hot

Hi! Does anybody here know how to self host? Ive been thinking of investing in a raspberry pi 5 but idek what im doing still 😅

[gloomy lily]

I dont know a easy method, but js wanted to let you know that mini pcs(refurbished) are much cheaper than a raspberry pi

on r/selfhosted there are many recommendations

[whole halo]

Anything w an intel i5 should do it right?

[whole halo]

Thanks 🙏

[whole halo]

Or an n100 pc?

[unreal mulch]

true bought a dell wokstation with intel xeon for half the price if you dont care about form factor older pcs are faster and mornepowerfull

[whole halo]

Ive been researching since my last reply 😁. I actually see how that would be a good way to start things up. Tyty!

[unreal mulch]

im glad i could be of any help!

[gloomy lily]

well big PCs usually use a lot of electricity

[unreal mulch]

fair point arm boards are in fact more efficient

[gloomy lily]

depends on your use case I'd say. Mostly cpu is not too important but rather memory

hey, i am currently working on a static html / css website. I want to have an image that is contained inside a div with rounded corners with overflow:hidden, such that I can align the image using id's while still adding the rounded corners to the image. Does anyone have ideas, why this could occur? Asking the all mighty LLM's hasn't helped at all and i am completely clueless

nvm, i am an idiot. The div containing the image still had a background-colour from the original testing of the widths and heights, which causes display errors, as for some reason the bg-colour is still displayed the most outer pixels of the corner.

[trim rock]

anything is fine

would prefer the n100 cauz price/performance and power consumption

tbh cpu and ram n stuff dont matter

storage is everything, even if not a storage server

i recomend jeff geerling for this kind of thing

What mechanical Keyboard shall i buy I literally got like 4 options and im confused.
60% blue switch not hotswap
60% fat Red switches With a volume knob
60% Wired it costs like 10$ less
Last but not least
An 82% Mechnical Blue keyboard no knob no noting lmao just Red or blue switches and wireless.

Im a game dev

Programmer

And uhm a Animator

And uh student

Aswell as a Gamer sometimes

[gloomy lily]

its just preference I'd say but I definitely don't recommend blue switches - red ones are audible enough and it'll be annoying when talking on discord. 60% when programming could also be too limiting

does anyone use iems?

i was thinking about buying a pair but every single one has so many mixed opinions

i was hoping to get recommendations for gaming/ anime + youtube

i dont really listen to music on my laptop

[bright quail]

the past few years have been the best years for iems

you can't go wrong

give your budget and maybe we can make some recommendations

since you're not doing it for music your needs aren't that specific, pretty much any iem would work

[void yew]

I need help as well as of someone who is from engeneering background i am getting offerd from a college that i will get a 90% scholarship on there computer science engeneering in data science btech program and i am really confused right now that what should take as career cs in data science or normal cs and please somebody tell some real life experience not copy paste from a ai 😭 😔

[shy vapor]

depends if you like stats or cs more

i came here because i need a budget (~$200) ereader that can do pdfs hopefully (https://github.com/koreader/koreader; calibre). Saw jvscholz recommendation in his vid of a nook glowlight 4. Don't need notetaking capabilities, but android would be nice. Mainly for reading for a long time without eye strain or having reference material open on the side. Tbh a bigger screen would be better but what can you really ask for at this price. Looking for other opinions, otherwise I might just have to spend a lot of time on reddit ;-;

looking at the kobo clara color/bw too

[outer hinge]

i can say that the kobo clara color is rlly good! the battery life is great and for kobos they’re made to last so it’s a good investment!! it’s also super simple to load PDFs and .epub files onto ur kobo :)

the only downside i can think of for the color version is the kaleido 3 screen, it isn’t too bright when you’re outside, so if you like high contrast i recommend the bw. kobo also isn’t android based unfortunately 💔 if you want an ereader less than $200 and w/ an android OS i’d recommend you read some reviews of any of the boox ereaders, i don’t have one myself so i can’t say much

i also recommend looking thru sites like this: https://comparisontabl.es/e-readers/ !

it’s a huge comparison chart w/ a lot of ereaders, there are different filters for price, OS, etc so that you can find whichever one best suits your needs

[trim rock]

i am gonna be honest

mtech is quite important these days

dosent matter if u do btech in cse or ece

the only jobs u gonna get through btech will be IT services

mainly indian companies like tcs and prolly a few US ones like cisco or SF

not relly good jobs tbh

take data science as a mtech specialization through any btech

if u get a tuition waver, take it

[shy vapor]

thanks for the insight

yeah i would like it to last a long time if thats not a given lol

good point

[outer hinge]

oh! I meant it’s durable as in it won’t immediately shatter on impact if you drop it 😭 sorry English is hard sometimes

but yes it’ll last a while!

glad i could help

[shy vapor]

yeah i just mean that nothing will break

like it lasts a while

contrast outside is not a huge deal to me but seeing my files on other devices/backups/easy sideloading is pretty important

[outer hinge]

yeah i’d recommend KOReader if you do get a kobo!! makes reading ur sideloaded books easier and sync ur progress

[abstract sierra]

like £100 maybe

i bought the truthear zero reds but I'm probably going to return them

not because they're bad, but they aren't THAT much better than my current headphones

I don't think the upgrade in sound quality or imaging is worth £40

everyone seems to have such varying opinions on the IEMs it's really hard to find one that I'd consider buying

some people say everything is perfect, others will say that there's no bass and that it broke after 5 days of use

[bright quail]

the red is pretty good

diminishing returns in audio is real and the price for it constantly keeps dropping as manufacturers continue to put variations of their higher end tech into their lower priced offerings
if you don't think the upgrade to the zero red was worth it, i honestly don't you're going to find anything mind-blowing at this price range

if it's not that much of an upgrade to you, i might suggest you just keep using what you have and save for a bigger budget later on

[bright quail]

audio is super, super subjective
that's why headphones.com has 365 day guaranteed returns

it's so subjective that they let you refund anything you buy from them for a whole year just so you get to live with it and figure out whether you actually like it or not

[abstract sierra]

yeahh i get that everyone is different so I'm trying to EQ the reds to sound like other iems so i know whether I think they sound good or not

I don't think there's anything different other than the imaging and sound stage between the EQ reds and whatever i'm making them sound like

[bright quail]

there won't be

that's not what EQ does

you want imaging, that's a quality problem, you're going to need better iems
you want sound stage, that's kind of what iems aren't good at and you should look at headphones instead

you also aren't going to EQ one pair of iems into other iems, otherwise why would there be so many iems? 😂

EQ tuning is just for sound signature

playing with EQ is a good idea nonetheless, you might figure out something you like with the zero reds

but if it's sound stage you're looking for, you're looking at the wrong equipment entirely...

[abstract sierra]

yeah EQ just changes the tuning a little

[abstract sierra]

I'm not tooo fussed on sound stage

i can still tell if something is coming from behind me or in front of me

above or below

its more about the imaging and separation I think

the sounds shouldn't all mix together

[gilded relic]

is there a way to get all tweets by a user still? (free)

i tried it many* but none worked post the x api changes

[shy vapor]

so i actually discovered a kindle nobody uses

its a 10th gen pw

unfortunately i cant "jailbreak" it and install koreader

idk how much im missing out on

but this honestly works fine

[bright quail]

the big hype a few years ago was the truthear hexa, i'm sure it's still solid now but the iem industry moves extremely fast and it's definitely old news now

speaking of old news, there's always letshuoer s12 which is quite an old pair of iems now ha

these two should have very good technicalities, and very within your price range

i've been out of the iem game ever since i got my latest pair (stop looking at things i don't need lol) but i think in the past year or two truthear released the nova, which has similar tuning to moondrop variations

this means truthear has both made a cheap blessing 2 with the hexa, and a cheap variation with the nova... 🤔 moondrop's blessing 2 and variations were widely considered among the best iems you can buy under 1k, and they cost a quarter/half that respectively
truthear making cheaper versions of those is, well, the reason the monetary value at which diminishing returns for audiophile equipment begins keeps getting lower every single time a company releases something good :)

and a brand i never heard of before i went out of loop on iem world is simgot, but apparently their offerings such as the supermix 4 are also very competent

just a few suggestions - i haven't tried any of these, and i highly recommend being able to try or buy from a seller with strong return policy before committing to one

[abstract sierra]

i appreciate the suggestions a lot

i'm ngl I really need a job and I've spent wayyy too much money already, so I'm going to return these truthear reds and then either I'll wait a little and get the hexas/ supermix 4 or another iem that's a little over 100, OR, I buy better headphones for the gaming sessions with friends and then get a pair of earphones (hopefully the headphones + earphones would cost less than the iems + a mic) and use the earphones for when I'm studying/ coding and don't want big bulky headphones on my head

[idle dew]

Anyone knows how to solve this?

[bright quail]

personally i don't think you'll find a decent pair of headphones, iems, and a mic all under £100, but i have audiophile standards so it's biased

in your position you do sound like you'd benefit from the iems a lot more - they're perfectly fine for gaming, and you could buy a modmic for them which is basically just a replacement iem cable with a pretty alright mic attached to it

[twin harbor]

Can y'all suggest which laptop i should go for considering both are priced same?HP Envy x360 14-es1023dx
Or Lenovo Yoga 7 14IML9 (Core Ultra 5-125U + Arc GPU)? My primary focus would be coding and doing uni assignments along with other basic tasks. (I don't game)

[foggy blaze]

I would go w/ the Yoga, based on personal experience the hardware is much more resistant that the HP Envy. I had that exact same model of HP and it got a lot of problems. If your case involves taking the laptop around campus I would strongly suggest the Lenovo Yoga.

[twin harbor]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[woven prism]

y it not working

i feel stupid

[gloomy lily]

anyone tried pen input on a thinkpad yoga, a microsoft surface or similar devices with linux?

Really want to get a comvetible for school but I didnt find too much on palm rejection

[polar ferry]

I use a yoga with Linux

Highly would recommend. It’s really good

Mine is a x380 yoga with Ubuntu 24.04

[gloomy lily]

woah so does palm rejection work fine then?

also am i correct to assume that ubuntu uses wayland now?

[polar ferry]

yep, I've only really used it so far for gimp

but works perfectly, ubuntu recognizes it as a wacom tablet

should work for both wayland and x11

[trim rock]

the underscreen coil types dont work properly on linux. The best u can get will be on a thinkpad on fedora or RHEL.

the capacitive types work fine

but its not something u wanna daily drive

[polar ferry]

I daily drive ubuntu on a thinkpad yoga, tablet part works fine

just to clarify lol

[trim rock]

i guess i gotta update myself now lol

but last i checked thinkpads usually have good linux support

except the fingerprint scanner

[polar ferry]

that I have not tried

lol

[gloomy lily]

had fingerprint scanner working for me, but never tried it on any mainstream distro

just used some weird cli software

[gloomy lily]

bought a x390 yoga now :>>>

hopefully latest kernel and some drivers will be enough to have a smooth experience

man im way too excited

[twin harbor]

Can y'all recommend which yoga I should go for? I have these options.

The last two are of the same model with different display options.

[icy lotus]

go for ultra series
ultra series have alot better iGPU(Arc) compared to the core i5 and i7 which are much weaker
for the display 100% DCI-P3 is the best one out there(check out if it is touch screen or not if that is your requirement)

Hey,
I’m planning to purchase a laptop.
Does anyone have experience using the Samsung Galaxy Book?

I’m not really interested in a MacBook since it doesn’t allow much customization, and most of my work involves using Word and MS Office.

If you have any other suggestion then drop them.

(No gaming laptops)

[gloomy lily]

macos is actually pretty customizable: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/1gbsbtd/aerospace_mellow_macos_setup/ https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/1belmnl/yabai_the_most_polished_setup_i_ever_created_for/ https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/1e53nnu/yabai_abusing_macos_to_make_it_look_how_i_want_it/

word and ms office also runs perfectly, though some menu items aren't in the same place as they are on windows according to my dad

[clever epoch]

third party extensions?

[clever epoch]

Really?
I've heard different opinions on this.

But Thank you so much.

[bright quail]

if you're buying the laptop for school, check what kind of programs your courses will use and whether the school itself recommends against a mac or not

you might run into compatibility issues with some programs that you absolutely need to use, and you will either have to seek alternative ways to use them or purchase an entirely new laptop later on

one example is that ms access doesn't work on macos at all

[clever epoch]

Well,
I only need Word doc and few MC office software's but A really good battery life.

[clever epoch]

I guess they do sell but I am not sure.

Any suggestions for laptop then?

[bright quail]

not really, most laptops all kinda feel the same to me and as long as you aren't looking for a gaming one, i genuinely don't feel like you'd go wrong - but i'm not that sensitive to laptop differences so other people would feel differently
personally i got a thinkpad t14s gen 4 for a pretty good deal

[clever epoch]

Makes sense.
I want a laptop to at least last for 3-4 years.

Thank you I will check this one.

[bright quail]

not something i recommend buying new or without a huge sale

i like thinkpads though

[clever epoch]

Oh have you used one before?

[clever epoch]

if so how long ideapad lasts with a single charge?

[odd shard]

hey guys i was wondering if anyone is able to using doom emac between different devices

and have them sync or some sort

[gilded relic]

any gemini cli users here?

[bright quail]

the ideapad and thinkpad are two different lineups from lenovo, ideapads are aimed at the general consumer wheras thinkpads are intended for business use (businesses sell them in very good condition for pennies all the time, if used is an option for you)
mine can last like 15 hours on a full charge and probably another 5 more if i were really economical in my settings and usage
i can't relate that to an ideapad but i'd probably drop it to about half the time as a consumer-oriented laptop
i know a few people with ideapads and they seem quite happy with them, though

[clever epoch]

Oh Thank you so much

use pen paper

4050 is a pretty average video card but it will be more than enough for you
I personally have such a video card and I use it in games, adobe premier, photoshop, and after effects
But if you have such a video card, then the processor is not weak, but in any case, you can work in anything

but mine works almost the same, except i edit the drawing using xournalpp, then convert the xournalpp file to a .png which is then embedded

though i now have to run $ gen.sh after every change to get the .png

wait, i thought vis wasn't gui based?

how does embedding images work

[gloomy lily]

correct, I use ~markdown syntax like , just like joplin does html in markdown

but I dont render it until I execute gen.sh and open the generated html file in a browser

and for drawings I first write notes in xournalpp with an .xopp format, then gen.sh converts them to images.

still need to polish it, mayybe add a command to automatically open it in the browser or auto compiling using inotify file change events

image is also resizable if u use a proper browser, you can pull it down so an embedded png does not take up all the space by default and can still be viewed properly
