I don’t think git is the right tool for this. It’s designed for text files, not binary. Also, there’s no need for version control here. Git won’t store diffs of binary files, so if a file changes (even the slightest change like an mp3 tag) it will keep a full copy of the old file.
OP wants to sync, so I would use rsync here. It will be way faster and efficient. If you want to know what rsync did, you can keep a log file of it’s output.

This is the way… You can build one with an ESP dev board and a couple of components. M5 stack has a couple of different ones that already come with IR and the firmware is pretty easy to download and install.

And they’ve recently made Clion free for non commercial use.

Good point about the indie studios. I mostly play indie games, there’s rarely any AAA game that is worth the price.

Seems like the way to go, support services that stream independent media and stop supporting the enshittified ones.

Totally agree.
Broadcast TV shows where designed with advertising in mind because it was the only way to monetize it at the time (except for tax-funded of course).
When cable TV started, one of their selling points was that it didn’t have ads, at least on the “cable-native” channels.
But after a while, they started putting ads everywhere, and that of course lead to the shitty experience that made a lot of people “cut the wire” when streaming services started.

I’m wondering what’s the next thing that will replace streaming, and eventually repeat the cycle.

Exactly. LLMs don’t understand semantically what the data means, it’s just how often some words appear close to others.

Of course this is oversimplified, but that’s the main idea.

This!! Wendell is the best! He actually started designing his own KVMs because the ones on the market didn’t have all the functionalities/support.

Public transit in NY moves literally millions of people per day, so the chances are still pretty low.

My bank’s app has way less functionality than the web version, but it’s used as a second factor to auth some operations, so I have to use both.

Maybe find a middle ground, like sharing the hosted service with just one or two persons, like a close friend, family member, etc. Could be someone you live with or that you can give VPN access to your network. That way is more private and mainly for your self, but also has some sense of doing it for others to motivate you.

There was no version control at all. The company that provided the software was really shady, and the implementation was so bad that the (only) developer was there full time fixing the code and data directly in production when the users had any issue (which was several times a day).

I was hired to implement a CRM for an insurance company to replace their current system.

Of course no documentation or functional requirements where provided, so part of the task was to reverse engineer the current CRM.

After a couple of hours trying to find some type of backend code on the server, I discovered the bizarre truth: every bit of business logic was implemented in Stored Procedures and Triggers on a MSSQL database. There were no frontend code either on the server, users have some ActiveX controls installed locally that accessed the DB.

Same here. Now my router/AP does it automatically.

Exactly. There’s a minimum 4 weeks that can be increased in the employment contract. Going up to 3 months is not rare, depending on the industry/type of job.

And it works both ways, so if the employer wants to fire you, the same notice period applies.

I’m very happy with my FritzBox (7590), it handles de ADSL connection to the ISP, supports various DDNS providers, Wireguard VPN, 4 port gigabit switch (5 of you don’t need the WAN port), guest WiFi with client isolation.

It also has basic media server and NAS functionality (with USB3 external hard drives).

Of course you can change the DNS server and other network controls like QOS, wake on LAN, port forwarding, different profiles with parental controls, filters, connection times, etc.

They also seem to take security seriously.

Replicators! Yes!!

Some restaurants probably will still exist as a premium option. And chefs can create recipes and sell them online.

They’ll probably add DRM to it. Crap! 😬

For a YouTube replacement, maybe look into Nebula, it’s a subscription streaming service, but owned by the content creators, no ads. It also has some podcasts.

Regarding music, I listen mostly to somaFM. It’s an Internet radio with lots of different stations. Mostly independent artists. It’s free, no subscription, no ads, listener supported (you can donate/buy merch to support them).

Yes, I agree it’s a lot.

I think that with “recruiting” and “HR services” they mean outsourced services, so maybe not all of it goes directly to the employees.

It’s not only salaries:

about half of Signal’s overall operating budget goes towards recruiting, compensating, and retaining the people who build and care for Signal. When benefits, HR services, taxes, recruiting, and salaries are included, this translates to around $19 million dollars per year.
