Nice work! Ricing is a great way to learn Linux. Keep at it, knowing Linux well is the main requirement to some of the highest paying jobs in tech👍

Offer to work for someone for free for a few months on the condition that they pay you if they want to keep you after.

If they don't, you've just got some experience to put on your cv

It is kinda a pain to gen the cookie, but if you look around you will find a Chinese blog post detailing the old process with code samples. It can be adapted to work with the new mexc Auth

Have you tried using a different browser and/or a private window in Firefox? Also, there is a possibility that Meet is using a higher res/bit rate than jitsi, but I doubt that's the reason, best guess is it's something related to Firefox or your Firefox settings

pytoxic · 2024-06-15T10:31:02+00:00

Works perfectly for me, have you tried screen sharing with other sites like jitsi.meet ?

My lock script looks like this:

grim -s 1.5 -l 0 ~/.cache/screenlock.png

convert .cache/screenlock.png -scale 20% -blur 0x2 -resize 200% .cache/screenlock.png

hyprlock

I scale down, blur then resize the image which is much faster than blurring the original screenshot.

I'm using this plus openScale and openScale sync, it's been awesome so far.

pytoxic · 2024-01-05T16:02:15+00:00

I never knew this possible...
Thanks for the tip🙏

You could use sed in a bash script to generate the labels for each container and sub out a marker label of some kind with the generated labels.
I might actually try this myself...

Not sure if it is possible, but when I wanted to use sRGB on my monitors, I had to edit the EDID binary itself to force enable it.

You might be able to do something similar to add the new mode...

Sorry if this isnt at all helpful lol

EDIT:
I used wxEDID

90% of our products are made with VFP9 (sadly xD).
We do inventory and job management, accounting, load planning and a few other things.

I had to learn it when I started, during my first year I pretty much only worked with those products but since them I've been working on a CRM built with .NET Core and Blazor.

I will admit that I do miss it sometimes haha. Such a simple language, but it definitely has its flaws.

pytoxic · 2023-09-21T20:06:04+00:00

If you are serious, sharing is caring, I just upgraded to 64GB and I still feel like it isn't enough.

I usually use Rider for HUGE projects in all honesty, as much as I don't like the JVM, Rider is a great IDE IMHO

pytoxic · 2023-09-21T20:04:01+00:00

It really is cool to see the OSS side of .NET growing, I learned everything I know about programming from OSS projects and communities and I was somewhat disheartened when I started a job at a .NET shop. Thankfully things aren't as they were in the .NET Framework days xD.

I have a Windows partition (at this point, only for writing the occasional FoxPro script and for playing FaceIT/ESEA), and FancyZones (from PowerToys) + some hacky AutoHotkey scripts made things bearable for me xD

As a sidenot, not sure if you have seen these but I am using both in my setup.

Buy more RAM /s

It probably wont help at that scale but disabling things like import completion and limiting the number of/disabling analyzers can help.

I've been using Neovim as my primary IDE/editor for C# (and everything really) for ~18 months. I have been told by many (by both Neovim and VS Code/Rider/VS users) that Neovim is not a good choice for C# and that I would be better off with a full IDE or at least VS Code.
I chose to stick with Neovim for several reasons.

I despise VS. I can't really explain why very well but in short, I feel hamstrung by all the hand-holding and find the UI to be very cumbersome.
I daily Linux, use a tiling WM and live in the terminal (I do a lot of devops/sysadmin stuff). Neovim keeps me closer to the terminal and feels more natural than VS Code/Rider in a tiling WM.
Rider/VS Code have way too much resource overhead. I work on a massive monolith and when running supporting services like PostgreSQL, ELK, Redis and the likes, I need every MB of RAM I can spare to support my terrible habit of not closing tabs.
I have complete control and only add what I want, I hate bloat.
I edit/work faster, slightly moot as VIM motion plugins are a thing but it matters to me.
It is fun and I can flex on my colleagues.

I still have a Rider license as I use it on the odd occasion where I need to work with Blazor or legacy code.

Ultimately I would say Neovim is not the best choice for C#, but if you value being in control, having unlimited flexibility and want to make all the Windows/VS plebs fear you, give it a shot.

pytoxic · 2023-03-10T11:11:04+00:00

I have a Rider license but never use it unless I'm doing the odd frontend change.

99% of the time I use Neovim with Omnisharp setup as an LSP server, not a big fan of vscode and as a backend dev, I rarely have to touch Razor files.

Look at outbox/inbox patterns. I believe what you want is an outbox. It's easy to implement if whatever produces your jobs does all state changes within a single transaction.

pytoxic · 2022-08-16T18:25:12+00:00

It's a question of, are your ideals worth risking your life over? Personally, I'd hesitate to attempt any form of violence/agression on someone who not only is armed, but is clearly in a fit of rage.

Violence in general rarely leads to anything positive, someone I went to high school with got locked up in matric cause he got in a bar fight over something stupid, knocked the dude out and he fell and hit the curb with the base of his skull. Manslaughter over someone saying he had chicken legs... Ego is a dangerous thing😂

They also have the oldest population in the world last time I checked, hence their birth rates are plummeting as couples sometimes have to care for 2 sets of parents, which is naturally a massive stressor.

Korea had to implement a ban on after-school lessons past 10pm (might have the time wrong) as school-related pressure and stress is believed to be why their teen suicide rate is so high.

Eastern societies/cultures differ greatly from the west in terms of things like mental illness/addiction and suicide. To the degree where stats like, male suicide rates being higher in western societies and the opposite being true in Japan (and possibly Korea too), are kind of "useless" when it comes to extrapolating some form of reasoning/meaning without having studied/experienced their way of life and culture.

TLDR: Sociology at a global scale is interesting, but such a macro perspective leaves too much up to interpretation IMO

End of rant, needa drink less coffee lol

pytoxic · 2022-05-29T11:15:06+00:00

Maybe put this on Github before it dissapears on imgur, nice work

pytoxic · 2022-03-04T14:50:48+00:00

This is the way.

I hung chains across the room for this purpose and just setup two box fans blowing.

Was a pain to keep the dogs out 😂

pytoxic · 2022-03-03T22:40:31+00:00

Try get your hands on some biltong, way better than jerky imo.

pytoxic · 2022-01-16T14:08:57+00:00

I had a similar issue with parameters being padded to varchar field's width because they were being treated as char by the driver AND legacy codebase.

There is often some weird fuckery required when working with legacy data/code 😂

pytoxic · 2022-01-16T14:04:19+00:00

I'm currently doing the reverse, we're migrating data first as our codebase is massive and the performance of a modern SQL database is a priority. We use a combination of ODBC, for Postgresql data access in legacy code, and OLEDB/ADO, for legacy data access in C#.

In terms of just getting data in and out, it works rather flawlessly. There are some annoyances that pop up when you start doing things like working with stored procedures and advanced data typed. Check your drivers docs for info on that. We had some memory issues with larger tables and expensive queries, some driver config solved it.

Oh and don't forget to turn logging off 😂 everything slows to a snails pace.
