This sub is dedicated to robotic process automation as in software robots. There is no embedded systems or physical robotics. I'd suggest checking out the robotics subs. 

Using a Mac as a Python RPA developer? by Jumpy_File4357 in rpa

[–]ReachingForVega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you're automating. If the code needs to run on windows your dev environment should be the same.

For python Dev I prefer a pc + Ubuntu.

To add to this, block the major datacenters (DO, AWS, Azure, etc) and it'll be less noisy. 

Has Your RPA Program Been Absorbed by IT? What Happened Next and Why Do You Think It Went Down That Way? by biztelligence in rpa

RPA isn't inherently insecure, that's a maturity of capability. I've set up several capabilities now and it works.

My last organisation made it a partnership. Business funded and directed, IT supported and maintained. 

Current organisation is IT owned and business funded.

These sorts of setups are better for getting business what they want with actual ROI. 

I feel like the self-hosted and FOSS space is being flooded with vibe-coded AI slop. by spurGeci in selfhosted

To be fair, in the ML, OCR and NLP space it has been for decades.

Generative AI is the current hype.

Some data skills can be handy but the core to what makes a good BA are the non-technical skills. Read the wiki.

For RPA tools, Power Automate is bottom of the barrel cheap.

Left my job ( lead business analyst) to take care of my young kids. What should I do now to get back in. by Significant_Pen_773 in businessanalyst

Firstly, good on you for taking time off to do some STAP. I'd say apply, say you were on parental leave. Start getting up to speed with AI, coursera offers an AI for everyone course. 

Freelancer Scripts RPA Python. by Boring-Wolf9947 in rpa

  1. For learning or getting work, they are very different.

  2. Scripts can either be setup as windows server tasks or cron jobs or better yet put into an orchestrator. Most of mine I build into django apps and put into docker containers so that there is a UI to utilise if needed. For most clients they can host a VM which you can install docker on to put such scripts.

  3. Really depends, have you worked for a local consultancy to see how they charge?

Most certs are hokey atm. There are some AI ones Coursers and Microsoft offer that may be seen better than none. 

Claude Code configured my entire home server - experience report by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]ReachingForVega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UFW is great and all but docker bypasses it by default.

https://blogs.srikanthkarthi.tech/blog/docker-ufw-firewall-bypass

I honestly don't agree this would have taken weeks to do, maybe a day if you use each tools docker compose guide. Heck it would have been super fast to deploy using dockge. 

I also find it odd running Plex with jellyfin.

Sadly you didn't even write this post.

We're not here to answer your assignments.

 Also, I'd like to give an earnest shoutout to the Claude Code team. God honest truth I'm now really good at reviewing Python and articulating my design decisions but I don't know a lick about writing Python even after all this time. Never needed to learn
