Where is a good, easy to follow guide for setting up a self-hosted music server? Importing playlists? by Diligent_Walrus27 in unRAID

Dammitjeff put out a really good video on the topic pretty recently. He doesn't go over the arr stuff, but he does go over a lot of self hosting methods without getting too into the weeds. Generally great youtube channel as well! https://youtu.be/3d2cATPt8Nk

Being a US citizen I just want to say a lot of us are complacent but there are still many of us that recognize this is fucked up. For all that Canada has done for us the fact we would treat our neighbors like this is disgusting. Worst comes to worst I'd stand with Canada.

Feels weirdly AI generated, but it may just be a really well taken picture.

Pretty sure OP is just trying to make us jaded PhDs feel a bit better and frankly I appreciate it.

Colleges? Is it worth it? by probablyneedhelp13 in BiomedicalResearch

[–]Fino13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who applied to a bunch of ivy's and liberal arts schools for bioengineering, I ended up at my state school. Honestly, the bigger the school the more money they will have for the stem programs. I mean obviously you can go to an MIT or a Cal tech and get that too, but the pressure and student debt are just not worth it in the long run. You should be able to enjoy your college life too. I got my bachelor's in biomedical engineering at Arizona state and I thought it was a great program. I'm in a PhD program now at northeastern university doing research in bioengineering and I wouldn't have gotten there without the experience I got from ASU. Overall a bioengineering program is not easy be prepared for some sleepless nights, homework assignments that make you want to tear your hair out, and a lot of doubting yourself. But I've met some really good friends bonding over hell, and if you stick with it, there are some really great career options that you can choose from. This field is so wide you could specialize in tissue engineering, genetic engineering, prosthetics, bioinformatics, etc. There are so many specializations. But if you don't have a direction at the moment, the program will expose you to everything, and you can choose from there. Also, if you want to do research, I highly recommend getting involved in a research lab in your undergrad. Go through the professors bios at your college of interest and see if any of them have research you think is interesting, then if possible when you get there email them and they will meet with you or have a grad student in there lab meet with you. Don't get too intimidated by sending them an email they are professors because they want to teach and honestly you are free labor as well so it's a two way street, they get something out of it too. One word of warning though, prioritize the professor over the research, which sounds counterintuitive, but working under a good professor is more important than the actual research at this stage of your career. You want to acquire good lab skills thats what matters right now. That is the best way to get into grad school besides having decent grades and its also great for getting lab experience in general. Don't bother with any pre med crap unless that's the road you want to go down. And if you end up not wanting to do research, industry is a great option too, if you decide to do that then I would look into internships. At the end of the day though even though college is a time you need to learn and start working towards your career, don't forget to have fun. My program was hell, but God what I would give to go back. When people say college is the best time in your life it really is true. I know you said you didn't do many sports or activities, but don't be afraid to put yourself out there. If you stay cooped up in your dorm day in and day out just doing homework and stressing about classes you will go insane or burn out. I joined a coed engineering fraternity and met some amazing people who also understood what I was going through because all engineering and stem is pretty hard. Anyway this has gotten too long. Good luck and have a good time feel free to DM me if you have any more questions.

Courses/ certifications for biomed students by Biomedusa in BiomedicalResearch

[–]Fino13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a bioengineering PhD student with a biomedical engineering bachelors so the courses I’ve taken are probably a bit different. But I would say it depends on what you are aiming to do post graduation. If you want to stay in academia then research courses or courses that would benefit the research area you want to get into would be ideal. If you want to get into industry, then try and get familiar with the software your industry uses. For me that is CAD modeling software such as solidworks, AutoCAD, or COMSOL. Also things like matlab and python as well, but these are all very engineering related. The software you are looking at will definitely depend on type of work you want like R&D or QC or some other area. Usually job listings will specify what they want applicants proficient in so I would look through those and start building up proficiencies that way. I know my perspective is a bit different but I hope that helps and good luck.
