I have a rule that “Nothing will be automated that cannot be manually overridden.”
Well, actually it’s my wife’s rule but it’s a good rule nonetheless. As a result, there’s a big panel full of relays in the basement that is the “last mile” for anything climate control or security related.
There have been a few times when it’s been handy. Like when the exhaust fan isn’t working and I don’t want to debug the ESP32 controller today so I just flip it over to “Manual”.
I’ve worked at places where we repurposed old CAT3 cables for network connecting printers, desk phones, environmental sensors, etc. Rare occasions where 10Mbps works just fine. Using that to connect a PC would suck.
I use Jellyfin with FinAmp for Android. Even supports offline caching.
Jellyfin, Immich, and Paperless-ngx are three of the apps I use the most but you do whatever works best for you. That’s half the advantage of self hosting. You can have a solution that’s custom tailored to your needs.
One of the best bosses I ever had was an electronics engineer (I’m software). There are a lot of shared concepts between engineering disciplines. I enjoyed working with hardware engineers and getting to see how they approach problems.
Duck Duck Go uses Bing so that tracks.
It’s more like:
Start with some AI generated code.
AI code fails to compile immediately, if you’re lucky.
If not, spend three days trying to find some really stupid bug.
Delete the AI code and write it yourself.

Management: “We’re only going to hire ‘full stack’ devs from now on.”
Also Management: “Why is this page taking 37 seconds to load?”
Are you trying to record audio over an RDP session via device redirection? As in, the PC you’re remoting into is running Audition and the terminal/client PC is where the audio is input from the mixer.
If the answer is “yes”, I would STRONGLY advise against that. You will never get it to work properly. If you’re in a recording studio, you need consistent, reliable, real-time, lag free audio processing. There is simply no way to achieve that with RDP or any other remote viewing solution. Your audio feed needs to be directly connected to the computer Audition is running on. Remote desktop software is just not designed for this situation.
There comes a point, somewhere late in the evening after my ADHD meds have worn off, where it’s more productive to not do any coding. If I do, I’m just going to end up throwing most of it out tomorrow because it’s a bunch of bug littered spaghetti.
Unfortunately, I also solve most of my big problems when I’m not staring at a screen. After which I have to resist the temptation to go work on it so I don’t make a big mess. It’s some kind of cruel irony.
Yet another example of media conglomerates and sympathetic governments helping increase the awareness and sophistication of piracy while doing almost nothing to prevent it. Good job guys! Slow Clap
You get a lawn and white New Balances at 30. At 40 you get nearsightedness and additional back pain.
“jubilationtcornpone is a great dev. He closes more tickets than anyone.”
QA: “Yeah, Hi. Can you look at this defect ticket?”
Reading ticket details…
Me: “Let me guess. Is [whatshisname] responsible for this?”
QA: “Yeah.”
Me: “Get him to fix it.”
QA: “I tried. Like four times.”
Me: Sigh “I’ll take care of it.”
QA: “Thank you!”
“We’re gonna make a fully functioning e-commerce website with only this WYSIWYG site builder. See? No need to hire any devs!”
Several months later…
“Well that was a complete waste of time.”
Remember when “The Cloud” was going to put everyone in IT out of a job?
ASP.Net Core is a phenomenal backend.
Those who say, “I love God,” and hate a brother or sister are liars, for those who do not love a brother or sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.
