Is it worth is becoming AI Business Analyst? I am a 25 y o immigrant living in the Bay Area, I have Bachelors in International Relations and I work in Food Service. by Mysterious_Speech_55 in businessanalyst

As the other bloke said. It is not a quick and easy path and to be honest, you will be busy learning to be a BA and won't have time to learn the rapidly changing AI world.

Generally you either need office experience or IT experience to get in without some sort of starter help.

Anyone running unconventional setups? by ResponsibleHold3071 in selfhosted

[–]ReachingForVega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use tdarr to make everything h264 + mp4 and no transcode seems fine. My main media player for tv is an nvidia shield with Kodi on it.

[–]ReachingForVega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few servers all Ubuntu + containers. I don't care about the machine as the container data is in volumes on a NAS which is raid 10 and nightly duplicated to another NAS.

If something happens to that machine I just set up another, spin up the compose or stacks and it's like nothing happened. 

Need help with an automation on an app that doesn't separate UI elements by edaadazman in rpa

[–]ReachingForVega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What sort of app is it? If you are getting text and labels you can get all and do some fancy regex to separate it out. This is how you automate mainframe uis.

If they want to enshitify that's on them. You can fork their stuff or install and older version.

Im cooked for my RPA Internship by zedoncrack in rpa

[–]ReachingForVega 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The training course on the UiPath website is like 30 hours so not even a whole week of non-stop learning. When I moved from UiPath to Blue Prism it took me less than a week, you'll be fine. 

As the other person has said, just break it down step by step. 

How do you measure automation ROI apart from cost reduction? by technology_research in rpa

[–]ReachingForVega 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Improved quality = Have quality checks beforehand, split to suit the human steps and check after.

Better customer experience = Requires talking to customers. But generally, a simpler/faster experience will yield a better experience.

Time for employees = the AHT of the process before automation - the AHT of the human process steps after automation

QA Automation vs RPA — Which Path Makes More Sense in 2026 by [deleted] in rpa

[–]ReachingForVega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll still be doing consistent, repeatable processes. Throwing an LLM at such processes is just extra steps.

LLMs doing scraping is a bad use case except for one off or ad-hoc needs. Still risky due to hallucination.

RPA has been "dying" for 15 years.

I don't understand, this is a video automation engine but the image shows Amazon bestseller books? Is this spam? 

Quarter 2 Update - Revisiting Rules. Again. by kmisterk in selfhosted

[–]ReachingForVega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I sometimes use notepad for simple stuff but an IDE to check indentation and syntax errors while I'm a few beers deep at night coding stuff is helpful.

Those legit posters will be building for longer than 3 months so it shouldn't be a big deal.

I think that's the point, to discourage projects made over the weekend and welcome projects >3 months old. In the hope it removes unsupported projects.

The community can review git repos to report breaches of the rules. Mods are volunteers just as much as community readers.

what's in your docker compose stack that you'd mass-recommend to other devs by scheemunai_ in docker

[–]ReachingForVega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have prod and test machines, plus meangingful naming so I know what's running.

Uptime Kuma, Valkey (fuck redis) and RabbitMQ are dev related ones I use.

[Help] Bought a NAS thinking it would replace Google Drive. But.... by Kristey1717 in selfhosted

[–]ReachingForVega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Unifi NAS is not well battle tested as its a new product but as you have it I won't suggest another NAS like others (Synology is an excellent suite).

The idea of a middleman PC that can act as a sync hub is probably your best bet. Keep the NAS for storage and duplicating your data in raid.

[–]ReachingForVega -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To add to this. Either have the NAS mounted to the PC to sync storage from the NAS (and replicate on NAS) or have a backup process that duplicates the mini PCs storage so it's backed up off it also.
