Our musical tastes seem almost perfectly aligned, so I’ll try and throw out a few curve balls:
Masters in Architecture. Required to become a licensed architect. Almost every facet of the job can be done without a degree/license. Most of my coworkers only have a bachelor’s, if that. You typically just get paid more and can get more responsibilities (and, by extension, liability) with a license.
Been using Logseq since February and it’s been a game changer. My only gripes are a) inability to access via browsers, and b) lack of a quick note function. Sometimes I still use Keep to jot something down and transfer later. Logseq spends a solid 5+ seconds syncing upon opening, which can feel like an eternity when trying to quickly log something.
It’s not open source, but I got a lifetime license for Enpass over a decade ago and it’s done everything I’ve ever needed it for. I think stacksocial occasionally has new lifetime codes for sale. I like the idea of Proton Pass as others have said, but it feels a bit like putting all my eggs in one basket, which is a mistake I already made with Google before (context: I use Proton for email). I think Keepass is the next best option if dedicated to staying FOSS.
After trying Zorin and having a host of issues, I’m slowly replacing that dual boot option with Mint. Excited to give it a shot.
I would fuck with an Abercrombie takeover so hard.
There could be one more to differentiate engineers from architects. Do you like to solve problems (engineer) or create them (architect)? Fun flowchart!
Visual designer for websites. There are many others like it. I used webflow for multiple projects and really enjoyed it. Haven’t touched it for a couple years though. Once I ran out of commercial projects to use it for, I couldn’t afford to keep it for personal use.
Do I look like I know what a jpeg is? Wheb sosiduebendkurh btnskdi
Also stuck on Windows but for specific software (Adobe & Revit). Zorin has looked like a promising distro for a little while now, at least coming from Windows.
Wait I didn’t know about this, that’s super cool.
I like the idea of using spotdl and yt-dlp but my eyes gloss over as soon as I see that there is no GUI. Lidarr kinda sucks but it gets me pretty close to what I need. Wish I was more comfy without a GUI but don’t really have the time to get the hang of it. So it goes.
How much for the original?
Year 1 inflation: “We wanted to make sure your raise kept up.” Year 2: “We’re a fledgling company!”
Lived in NYC and every time rent rose to where I couldn’t afford it, I would have to blow my savings relocating. A few years ago I instead used the money to gtfo of the state entirely. Love that city but god damn if it isn’t a huge trap.
Not aware of any cracks. I use the felddy image on my Unraid setup and the first window on a fresh install asks for the license. Same goes for when I run locally on Windows. I’m sure there’s a crack out there, but I’m not aware of it.
All I can offer is my full endorsement of Foundry. It’s worth the money. If $50 is a bit steep at the moment, I think they do offer a small discount with an anniversary sale each year. Not sure when that is exactly.
Switched from paying Roll20 an annoying monthly fee and it’s more than paid for itself now. There is even a tool floating around to export active Roll20 games for use in Foundry. I remember it being pretty inefficient, but better than starting from scratch.
You must excuse them. They’ve grown quite hweary
Does Mozilla mention what their spaghetti policy is?
Been using Enpass for something like a decade and it’s been perfect. One time licenses can be found on stacksocial, I think.
Hi from All! I’ve been running Immich alongside my usual Google Photos to make sure it does a good job before making the switch. A year ago I would have said no. Nowadays I think it’s a great alternative for some, if you’re a bit tech savvy. Perhaps someday it’ll offer something like Ente, which I have also heard great things about.
