Throwback to Microsoft's pre-Kinect project dubbed Xbox 'Natal' way back in the day.
Being younger, I—along with many—really thought that was the close future of gaming. In hindsight, of course it was all fabricated.
I'm not surprised by Google's Gemini demo video either. The way that which the whole demo was narrated and played out made it seem too linear, too perfect.

FreshRSS has been working great for me! It even has the ability for web scraping if you need it.

Translate You features LibreTranslate, Lingva, DeepL, MyMemory, Reverso, and SimplyTranslate.
While I can't speak for any of them, I think that all of those should be safe being that Translate You is FOSS, and their idealogy is "No Ads, no trackers, just You"

I used PowerDeleteSuite when I cleaned my Reddit account out. It's a Javascript Applet that runs in your browser. It supports filters too so you can choose which subreddits you don't want it to touch.

Any tips on finding recruiters?
Should I just be cold-connecting with them on LinkedIn, or is there a better way to reach out?

Do you own an action cam and does it work with Linux?

I have a DJI Action 3. It works with no issues on (Arch) Linux.

What totally rad sport/hobby do you use it for?

I mount it to my helmet while I'm out riding my motorcycle on the streets as sort of a dashcam.

Are you able to update the firmware over Linux or from he device itself? (I have windows for emergencies, but prefer not to use it.

The one thing I hate about the Action 3 is that it requires a mobile app to do firmware updates. Just to start using it requires registration on their DJI Mimo app which is terrible.

How does the device mount and have you had issues with file transfers?

The device lets you choose if it is as a webcam or storage for mounting when turned on if it is plugged in through USB.

Is there any special software that helps you use your device, for example “piper” can help me configure fancy mice.

The Action 3 doesn't have anything special, but a search on the AUR shows there are some for GoPros.

Can you use your device as a webcam?

Answered above.

There's some tinkering with their docker-compose.yml to make it work. Here's mine you can copy if you want to get it up and running. I don't use nginx or any reverse-proxy btw. All data is saved in their own individual volumes which you can back up:

services:
    sharelatex:
        restart: always
        image: sharelatex/sharelatex
        depends_on:
            mongo:
                condition: service_healthy
            redis:
                condition: service_started
        ports:
            - *DESIRED_PORT*:80
        links:
            - mongo
            - redis
        stop_grace_period: 60s
        volumes:
            - data:/var/lib/sharelatex
            - texlive:/usr/local/texlive

        environment:
            SHARELATEX_APP_NAME: Overleaf Community Edition
            SHARELATEX_MONGO_URL: mongodb://mongo/sharelatex
            SHARELATEX_REDIS_HOST: redis
            REDIS_HOST: redis
            ENABLED_LINKED_FILE_TYPES: 'project_file,project_output_file'
            ENABLE_CONVERSIONS: 'true'
            EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_DISABLED: 'true'

    mongo:
        command: "--replSet overleaf"
        restart: always
        image: mongo:4.4
        expose:
            - 27017
        volumes:
            - mongo_data:/data/db
        healthcheck:
            test: echo 'db.stats().ok' | mongo localhost:27017/test --quiet
            interval: 10s
            timeout: 10s
            retries: 5

    redis:
        restart: always
        image: redis:6.2
        expose:
            - 6379
        volumes:
            - redis_data:/data

Some of my documents rely on certain packages which didn't come with the Docker image. You will need to run
docker exec sharelatex-sharelatex-1 tlmgr update --self;docker exec sharelatex-sharelatex-1 tlmgr install scheme-full
so that you can render your documents properly if they utilize certain packages.

Optionally—since the full scheme takes about 8 GB and you may not need everything—you can replace scheme-full with a different scheme you can find by running
docker exec sharelatex-sharelatex-1 tlmgr info schemes
The i before any scheme name means that it is already installed.

Update:
Included a texlive volume to save any packages that were installed, so when recreating the containers, they will persist.

If I'm being real, I just want a reason to shoot and go to the range 😂 Although you're right on some points, having a gun doesn't necessarily make you feel safer, its a liability if anything.

I use WireGuard to access my home services and for net-forwarding when I'm outside.
To set it up, I followed this simple guide.

Maybe I have mistaken you for a troll, but your behavior and recent posts on this community say otherwise as they are low-effort and look like bait. Asking questions is always a good thing, I don't want to discourage you from that. Though you should keep the hypothetical, unrealistic ones in your head as they are contributing nothing here and only waste other people's time.

It seems you are just young and naive judging from your profile picture, so here's some advice:
Post less, and research/read more before asking anything. It'll make you grow faster, not only as a developer, but it also teaches you to think things through better and so you can learn things easily in the future. (RTFM anyone?)

Thank you for your insightful response. I was initially considering grad school in something that is lateral to my degree in Computer engineering and CS minor, like data science or similar. I actually haven't even considered applying to grants so that is a great suggestion. I'll do some research on what kind of programs I can apply to and see if there are any grants that are applicable to me.

As for location, I am around NYC. While I have been applying mostly in this area, I'm also applying all over the country as well, but still strongly prefer to work in or around a city. While I do get that certain cities have their own share of different industries and hubs, I didn't realize that the market for jobs is also dependent on area but it all makes sense when you put it together...

I failed to mention that I did actually land one offer at a tiny defense company in a rural part of the east coast though I declined it as I wasn't comfortable working in that industry and I wasn't willing to move out of a city area.
While I ultimately do not regret declining the offer, I reflected on the idea that I probably don't have a choice on which industry I work in as a first job; the main goal is to gain experience.
I haven't aspired to work in a government position too much because of my condition mentioned above, but I guess I need to sacrifice my idea of an ideal job and rough it out for maybe a year in that type of industry.

Per your last point, reaching out has been very effective in me finding opportunities, so that's a great suggestion. I've been using Linkedin to connect with alumni to seek mentorship and advice, and I've even gotten referrals to some target companies through them and their network. I've also been reaching out to friends who are working and while these all translate into some interviews, there still hasn't been any cigar.

I've been feeling a lack of drive after having bombed some technical interviews and still not generating any experience nor cash and so that's why I was thinking about pivoting in the first place. Even with taking account of the current market situation, it's still crushing to see others land something and all my friends around me working while I'm still at home. /rant

Regardless, I'm grateful for your insight. I'll look further into grad school while applying, and open up my breadth in terms of industries I should be applying to.

I think I'll spend my day tomorrow at my library reading a career book like this. Thank you for the recommendation.

Of course, I didn't think to take a class; was relying on the YouTube route, but I think it's a better investment to check one out.
Good idea on throwing ear plugs under the ear muffs, I'm gonna do my research on that combo.
Also, Thanks for the note on getting an oversized range bag too. Most likely going to stock up later down the line.

  • ~$20/year domain name
  • €12/year Tutanota mail
  • ~$idk yet/year energy costs of a self-hosted server (an old laptop lying around the house) which handles:
    • Backup solution
    • File hosting
    • Wireguard VPN Tunnel
    • Other free and open-source services which allow me to own my data locally.
  • Sometimes €5 Mullvad VPN for if I'm traveling internationally. Otherwise Tor or my home VPN would suffice.
