I was waiting on the key caps forever for this - the carrier took them to the mailbox instead of dropping it at my door as requested (this was a problem as I don't have a key to my mailbox for the next couple weeks for reasons I won't get into), so I had to go pick the lock on my own mailbox in the middle of the night to complete the build.
Thanks, I think the chassis color and corresponding key color has a lot to do with it - I don't think this particular color for the QK101 is very popular as before purchasing I could not find any pictures of it outside of the vendors website haha.
(I’m a junior dev at my job, and don’t have a lot of experience).
You're robbing yourself of gaining legitimate experience.
I always use AI to explain things to me, not code for me.
Ok.
I made that my mission, so I don’t let it think for me because I want to learn.
Alright.
I asked it to build an app for me that works on KDE Plasma, my favorite DE.
Seems like the exact opposite of just having it explain concepts to you, and not letting it think for you, and not letting it write code for you.
I’ve never programmed in Python, and it chose Python. lol. Ok, let’s go with it.
Ok, so you aren't actually learning any python, and it is just generating python code for you, which you made no attempt to change such that it would just be explaining concepts to you preferably in a language you do know. Sounds a lot like you aren't doing a lot of the thinking in this process, or writing the code.
Creates that little script I mentioned earlier
Creates the .desktop file for that app and makes it point to the correct things (script, icon, startupWMClass(this is so the app will
still launch after pinning it to the panel)…etc)
Copies the appimage into a “appimages” folder in the home directory
Adds an icon of your choosing to the app
It makes everything executable
Instead of asking AI to make this in a language you don't know, you'd probably be a lot better off learning some BASH and discovering that this is likely doable in a one-liner or function which you can associate to an alias.
I had it package the app into an appimage
So it is thinking for you, writing the code for you, and packaging it for you.
The honest part. I feel a tiny bit of shame deep inside
You should.
Who cares how I created it?
Programmers, artists, your boss, your future self when something breaks in prod and you realize that you have robbed yourself of so much experience by outsourcing any opportunity to obtain skill, knowledge, and wisdom that you have no idea what the fuck to do or why the problem is happening, and then someone sues you over it because it turns out in the mess of AI code which you haven't even looked at 60% of up until this point there are out of scope variables from a thread the AI found on 1337codeForum.fuck circa 2008 which lead to a disaster where some guy who actually knows how code works half way around the globe stack buffer overflowed the fuck out of you.
If you want honest opinions from people, then this is mine. That little shame you feel is probably larger than you think and it's because you aren't doing yourself any favors.
Personal system but I work in technology, so learning solutions used in industry is always handy.
I want spinning disks as they have shorter life but a wider mean time between failure, which should be better for the RAID I want to configure.
Since SSDs have a definitive number of writes in their lifetime, as I recall it can be kind of dangerous to install several new ones at the same time in something like a raid 1 configuration.
That's great to know, all four of my other machines are running Debian right now so I should have a pretty good idea of what's up!
That probably is what I will do for some time, leaning it gently and securely against a wall somehow, but in the future rack would be nice - especially if I find some enterprise firewall for sale or something.
Also really happy to hear ebay might have iLO licenses - I have grabbed a couple one-time licences off there for windows machines before, but I didn't know they sometimes had stuff like this too.
Unsure about the iLO, but I do recall powering on one of these remotely in school using it. I'll have to wait until I find some power cable to take a look I believe, but I do see a sticker with the default user name and password for it on the side, so here's hoping haha.
I have a PLA 3d Printer, but I fear PLA has too low of a melting point to use for server components. It would be neat if there were a caddie model out there I could test with though - will have to look around.
Thanks for the insight on the rack as well, that will be good to know in the future I am certain.
I would probably look at a few interesting years I am aware of, but after a while I figure it would devolve into "I dunno man, what the fuck was going on in 1111?"
I started watching live stream on twitch of a specific category that interested me. The people who stream this category collaborate with one another and each have their own community of people who follow.
I watched some really small streams and chatted with people. I do mean small as well, probably originally most of these streams had something like 6 viewers. Over a long period of time you come to know people in a stream group - and then because of the collaboration you come to know more people. There is usually a discord server or some such where these people talk when there is no stream as well.
Now, 5 or more years later, I'm probably in something like 18 discord groups where I talk to a lot of people regularly, or DM with quite a lot. By proximity and a loose shared interest, we all now know quite intimate details of each others lives and talk about all kinds of anything and everything.
Friendship is not really a fast process, but you just have to find places to plant seeds and see what grows.
I just install my keys as needed to the machines and then configure aliases for quick connections. For file transfer with SFTP I'm using Filezilla because its queuing functionality and site management are nice.
I think for what you are looking for, both puTTY and Remmina should be capable as well as the other options suggested here
There was a guy on youtube once who uploaded a video talking about this who has the channel name "crazydumbsick".
Unfortunately I can't seem to find the video as it looks like he regularly deletes content, and it currently only goes back about a month on his channel at present.
Take everything below with a block of salt because this is from memory, and it was a few years back where I watched his video once, so I could be misremembering one or more things here.
If I recall correctly he has Schizophrenia, Crohns, and an IQ of ~45, hence his channel name. He talked a lot about how hard it was to live, particularly pertaining to his IQ. He said that he has a hard time with remembering things and therefore most of his meals are made from pre-made microwaveable packages as he is capable of operating the microwave without too much difficulty, and he found it generally easy to follow the instructional lists on the packaging.
He made note that operating any kind of machine much beyond a microwave or TV remote was largely beyond him, except his computer and camera which he had recently figured out well enough to be able to record and upload content - but outside of those actions, he really had no idea how to use them.
I believe he also said that due to one or more of his conditions, he could not drive, which largely compounded the difficulties of his life.
He talked about how finding work for someone in his situation is basically impossible and just as impossible to hold onto for very long. I believe he talked about a couple jobs he had been fired from and why, and while I don't recall the specifics, I believe he had talked about how he was not even entirely certain why he had been fired. I think he said that he had done some things incorrectly, and at the time, had some vague concept of them being incorrect, but despite this, he was unsure why he had gone ahead and done them anyway.
Overall, he seemed very sad in the video; he was terribly aware of how hard it is to live life being himself, and knew that there were basically no solutions to it.
Having said all of that, he continued to upload videos and there were some good events and some bad events. I believe at one or more times he discussed having tried to take his own life. Other times he seemed fairly upbeat and was trying to better himself - trying to read through a textbook on auto work for example.
Anyway, I think the original video I spoke about is one of the better videos I've seen uploaded to the internet. It was somewhat sad, but it was highly enlightening and certainly one of the most honest videos I've ever seen someone upload.
I was waiting on the key caps forever for this - the carrier took them to the mailbox instead of dropping it at my door as requested (this was a problem as I don't have a key to my mailbox for the next couple weeks for reasons I won't get into), so I had to go pick the lock on my own mailbox in the middle of the night to complete the build.
Moral of the story - Invest in lock picks.
