So the "amazing tool of the future" that's "going to make software developers obsolete" is also going to need to buy software licenses?

Which one is it Microslop?

Evan Edinger has two fantastic videos talking about this:

(Sorry, Ik YouTube links are a bit taboo on the Fediverse, but they're worth watching)

I think the word "construction" is missing from OPs title (after "begin")

The best way I found to combat spam was to change my email address. Was it a pain? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely yes.

Suddenly I can just give my email address out to services I trust, and I set up a temporary alias for anything I don't (although I tend to avoid those these days anyway).

Yes, that seems to be the aim here. Also note that this is being provided by a community member and is in no way affiliated with the HA team

Why would I want to dig through folders of bookmarks when I can type 3 characters in the url and have my browser suggest the right page for me?

The world is so crazy, I can't tell if this is an April fools joke or something she actually said

I'm using Voyager, it's open source and is the best client I've used (I've also tried Jerboa, Blorp and Interstellar).

Upvote tracking is a feature you have to enable in settings, it doesn't do it by default. Also make sure to regularly take backups if that's data you care about because it doesn't sync anywhere.

While I didn't recognise your name immediately, my client app tells me I've upvoted you 7 (now 8) times, so I think that proves your point!

Minecraft has Drasl, a replacement account/authentication server which isn't federated, but if there was demand for it, I'm sure it wouldn't be impossible for the developers to introduce 🤔

It supports independent creators and I get to watch Jet Lag a week early

How the hell are you supposed to pronounce this?

"Great"?

"Greet"??

"Grit"???

"Grite"????

 

This question is mainly for those that have family/friends depending on their self-hosted services/data. Does anyone have a plan for the worst case scenario in terms of data access/passwords/making sure your services are kept running if people depend on them? I know I sure don't, it's just a strange curiosity my brain thought up and I wondered if anyone else had considered this?

 

I ditched most streaming services well over a year ago now, but Spotify has clung on because I have a playlist of around 2000 songs. I've set up Navidrome but now need to transfer all my music in the highest quality possible as efficiently as possible.

I tried lidarr some time ago, but it seemed to be based more around artists than individual songs and my indexer failed to find most of my library.

I've seen a couple of apps that will look at a playlist and then try to yt-dlp the song from YouTube but I'm worried about having a lower quality or different version. I've wondered if automating an "analog hole" type approach where I just pipe the audio of each song to a file and leave it playing overnight for a couple of weeks might actually be the best approach but that does seem a bit insane at this scale.

 

I'm a 25 yo British guy. I landed my first job as a dev in 2022 for a consultancy with a 1 year international placement, it was good but a few months after returning, the whole cohort was laid off due to corporate politics between the offices in the two countries. After 7 months of searching, I got my second job working for a small pensions fintech startup, it was fine but I didn't find it all that fulfilling. After 9 months of working there, the CEO pulled me into a meeting and said they'd made a mistake hiring me and they needed a more senior developer who could help steer the company from a business perspective too, so I was once again laid off.

That was in January, since then I've had 2 interviews, both of which have gone nowhere. The vibe of every position that's matched my CV has basically been the same sort of work- pretty mundane web dev roles and I can see myself being pulled into a cycle of mundane work then being laid off. I've wanted to be a developer for as long as I can remember, I started writing code when I was 12, studied CS throughout school so I could go to uni and do it for my degree - but now, I feel so disillusioned with the whole industry, where do I go from here? Does it get better? How do I find a job that actually feels fulfilling?

Sorry for the ramble, it's 4am and I just happened to stumble across this community while scrolling. Thought it might be worth an ask.

TLDR; been laid off twice in about 2 and a half years, feeling pretty disillusioned with everything, where do I go from here?
