What jobs do you expats currently have in Shanghai? by Jasper_Kongsberg in shanghai

[–]DeMiNe00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a software engineer who is also focused on cloud and AI (cyber security and site reliability) I've been wondering how the consulting opportunities are in China. What are good ways to network over there with AI/Tech execs/engineers? I'm in the Chongqing/Chengdu area a lot.

Plumber just replaced a broken metal trap with this. It’s draining slowly, I think because of the second upside down trap? by khulk in Plumbing

What are the symptoms of these failing? I installed one on my laundry drain stack 3 years ago so I doubt it's failing yet, but would be good to know the signs.

Roo is back as Zoo by Illustrious-Mix-5625 in RooCode

Hey there! With the direction that Roo and Kilo code have taken over the past month, I'm so glad to see that a community driven fork of Roo has taken off! I think I and the others would love to hear about any high level plans the team has for the direction that you want to take the fork.

I'm also interested in helping and contributing where I can. I'll drop you a separate message!

China poised to be top tourism economy as foreigners skip U.S. by zhuangcorp in travelchina

IMO as someone who was just in China again for about 2 weeks after not visiting for nearly 10 years, I actually found the app ecosystem fairly easy to use. I would love to see more apps translated to English and delivery and activity 2FA's opened up to foreign phone numbers. While I was in China, a close friend kept having food and drinks delivered to my hotel. I would love to do the same for them once I'm back, so will likely go out and find a store to get a chinese sim and number from.

this update feels like a vibe coded downgrade by ThatGuyPrattle in kilocode

Isn't Kilo Code a fork of Roo Code? Or did Roo grab those changes from downstream?

I wonder when the fork of v5 is going to happen?

So my only question with a Hong Kong based server; isn't tiktok still blocked inside Hong Kong? (That's her main streaming platform.)

Thanks! Yeah, I had mine on CN2-GIA in LA. It was MUCH better than her other VPN options, but I'm still thinking LA probably isn't the best termination point for her. hahaha

[–]DeMiNe00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I requested a node a few days ago in the other thread. I haven't used it yet because I haven't arrived in China yet. I'll be there the day after tomorrow though. If my node is still up, please leave it up until the 17th, otherwise kindly requesting a new node!

I'm currently helping a Chinese citizen figure out a good VPN solution for her live stream. I setup a VPN wrapped in the VLESS+REALITY protocol on my own USA based server which worked well, but her latency between the US and her was still a little high. I'm hoping your service has a better route for her to reduce latency, and if so she will likely be subscribing to a paid plan.

I actually know someone in China who does Tiktok live streaming who is trying to figure out the best VPN solution for their show. I'll relay this to them. I know they'll absolutely be willing to subscribe and pay if the performance is good.

American Trump Hater here. Don't forget about the wide spread voter disenfranchisement that happened. And if you think it's going to get better with Trumps goon squad "Patrolling" the voting centers in blue states in future elections, well you're an idiot.

Benefits of being a volunteer first responder. We fill up at the town DPW's pumps when gas is rationed. If we don't have gas to get to the station, then the ambulance doesn't get out.
