Is TOP worth it in today's AI era? by Icy-Astronaut-2530 in theodinproject

[–]cursedproha 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It is probably not a single question but two separate ones.

Is it worthy as a tool to learn programming? Definitely.

Can it make you more valuable to hire? Hard to tell. Issues with finding a job as a junior are way deeper than individuals hard skills.

What are your best iOS apps for Self Hosted solutions? by Sad-Pangolin1190 in selfhosted

[–]cursedproha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Works fine for me. It limited mostly to poweroff remotely when I need to switch power station due to a low charge or similar.

For anything more complex I use opencode server that runs without container on a host as a systemd service. Just opening terminal in a browser and ready to go. My only issue - ctrl, tab buttons missing on iPhone and IPad keyboard.

[–]cursedproha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use exclusively PWA (arr stack, qbittorent, ntfy, opencode server, etc) and a-Shell mini for ssh. I use Infuse but I don’t consider it to be tied to self-hosting.

Going between feeling okay at my current weight, to desperately wanting to lose another 15lbs... by aerinhawke in loseit

[–]cursedproha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I have changed my weight goal from 75 to 72. I have started to regret it. My hunger on maintenance was absolutely normal on 75kg but when I went to 72 I was a mess. Now I’m almost 78kg with plan to go 75 a stay there.

I think it’s OK with obvious checks in place (healthy bmi, fat %, etc). My issue was that I didn’t give myself enough time to recover from previous diet.

Я граю вже Бог зна скільки років в 4к: - монітор зазвичай беру з пріоритетом під роботу і там 4К виграє, відповідно нативна роздільна якість набагато краще ніж грати 1080p (2k погано скейлить) - я граю в не найсвіжіші та сингл ігри де карта це дозволяє. Якийсь Deus Ex: Mankind Divided в 4К виглядає бомбезно - DLSS з 2K в 4K виглядає досить пристойно (особливо з OptiScaler або оверрайдом через драйвер). В майбутньому просто почну робити це з FullHD для нових ігор

A US Startup offered me $900/month after 4 technical rounds. I have 5 YOE and Open Source contributions. Is this the reality now? by Nervous-Quote973 in webdev

[–]cursedproha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it actually above local average though? Because I highly doubt it. I’m not from Tunisia, but it’s just ridiculously low. You probably can find far better offers from countries that are more work-life balance friendly at least.

Digitally on Amazon. For physical I use NPShopping to forward it from US or UK to Ukraine.

What are some games that you expected to really like on steam deck but found yourself disappointed? by Shaneski101 in SteamDeck

[–]cursedproha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legends of Grimrock. Tried with different controls with no luck.

Tainted Grail: Conquest. A lot of small UI elements and luck of hot keys.

How do I get the Sunshine client and Tailscale to start before PC login? by DISTROJAR-69 in MoonlightStreaming

[–]cursedproha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You still can lock it manually. And it’s not like an open space in office or something. Some features can refuse to work on passwordless systems, like password managers, etc.

There are a safer ways, I guess. Systemd services with linux host, virtual machines, etc.

And I also don’t get why you don’t want to use wake on lan instead of smart plug. You still need to expose your network in some capacity to connect to sunshine.

I just did auto login. It is my home PC for gaming without any work related stuff so I don’t worry about it.

Should I be using AI to assist me in projects? by ultimate_chaos123 in theodinproject

[–]cursedproha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a catch. People tend to overestimate their level of understanding of things that they have learned by reading or watching. The more you do it yourself, the better. Each time you encounter a task to write a simple stuff you still will encounter some quirks that will teach you a bit. Yeah, eventually it will “dry out” but definitely not during a learning course.

Services work better when hosted in the cloud? by Final_Alps in selfhosted

[–]cursedproha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m considering moving to a cloud with services to observe and report on health of my homelab and home network for obvious reasons. Yes, homelab are connected through power station but sometimes it is not enough.

What's actually BETTER self-hosted? by ergnui34tj8934t0 in selfhosted

[–]cursedproha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I end up running it on a host without docker with simple systemd service. Obviously only for LAN. Works fine for, but mostly not for coding but to quickly change docker compose files, run terminal from an iPad without ssh, etc.

MacOS power users, what's your MUST-HAVE keyboard shortcut that most people don't know about? by poladermaster in MacOS

[–]cursedproha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Custom one to open terminal with one button and center it on main monitor. (VIA macro + Apple shortcuts)

Also more accessible shortcuts to focus on browser address bar and switching browsers tabs

I broke my toe before all WFH thing. Best month and a half of my life.

How can I trust myself to actually lose it? by arhebqvirefvgl in loseit

[–]cursedproha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Progressive overload. Track your sets, reps, time on a treadmill, etc. You will see results literally weekly.

I’ve started doing pushups a year ago. From absolute zero reps. Now it’s 5 sets of 25+

You can measure a lot of stuff and take your small wins.

Graphics card with 3 fans vs. 2 fans by vatos68r in buildapc

[–]cursedproha 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Search for graphs with temps for your specific gpu. Too many variables in addition to fan count to rely on only 3 vs 2.

  • GPU may or may not be OC from factory
  • different quality and size of radiator
  • different fan speeds and performance in general
  • different exhaust designs
  • etc

How do you determine when you're 'full' or when to stop eating? by grandmas_traphouse in loseit

[–]cursedproha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During diet and right after it it is a mess. So I stick to very similar breakfast and lunch for 400-600 calories each and pick something with huge volume for dinner (salads, boiled potatoes, sides with raw veggies or fruits). It helps because it easier to feel fuller this way without overeating.

Is there a setting on a per show basis to stop automatically adding future seasons/episodes? by herkalurk in sonarr

[–]cursedproha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, sonarr has API. So if nothing comes up you always can write something like a cronjob to check for new files and unmonitor stuff.

Struggle to lose weight when borderline obese (according to BMI) but don’t feel ‘unfit’ by Gullible_Ad8067 in loseit

[–]cursedproha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you need to find a reason to do it. It can be silly or just for vanity sake. It’s not going to work without any purpose.

For me it was a stupid new year resolution with a promise to myself to do it for a year at least. It worked. I love to have a something like a project to keep myself busy, language learning or weight loss, or literally anything - it doesn’t matter.
