Get a book on Spring Boot and jump back inro Java web development.
With git, you don’t need to master it, just find some subversion to git howto and start using it. It’s half a page of text. Once you learn the basics you can learn more as you go. There are many otherwise competent programmers who don’t know git too well, I know because I support them from time to time.
Most preschool kids know what an A4 sheet is. Not sure how it can be used more.
I remember trying to understand Vorbis fixed point codebase, it was completely bonkers, the three of us on this task couldn’t even draw a rough control flow diagram.
Don’t worry, in 5 or 10 years Google will develop an alternative and the rest of FAANG will back it. It will be super technically correct but will include a cryptographic signature that only big tech companies can issue.
I remember these times, then I started buying hardware with 1st class Linux support. Highly recommend when it’s time to upgrade!
If it turns out to be a Pi bottleneck, you can just re-encode the videos with a lower quality and h.264 codec.
I have a similar setup but my nfs server is not a mini pc.
You could try diagnosing if it’s the network or if your mini pc is too busy (maybe out of disk i/o?).
If that’s too hard, temporarly stop all other programs on the mini pc. Does it help?
Does streaming something from the internet to kodi work without freezes? If it’s ok, then network is likely not the issue
Last but not least, does playing the same video from an USB stick work smoothly? If not, maybe the quality is too high or the video is x265
2nd comment with the same typo, are you using dictation?
Haha, the horrors of trying to fix a bug in OpenOffice flash before my eyes
The curl author writes a lot about his struggles, but he’s also employed to maintain curl, so not really a good example
Yeah I got old man’s habits after having no energy for the same reason as you. Save that sweet energy whenever you can.
If I wanted a phone nobody else has, I’d get a Pinephone.
I went a step further and am paying an accountant to handle this mess, using my favourite libre email client to contact her. I know, it’s a privileged position.
That’s what I do, /music
Good for you for not having any problems mate! I’m sure this invalidates the parent poster’s problems.
I’ve been testing Claude the last month. It’s good for 90% of the tasks but for the remaining 10% i couldn’t convince it to give a proper answer and used ChatGPT instead. Technical questions and coding is what I use llms for.
Any particular problems you’re having or have you briefly used Pidgin in 2008 and think nothing has improved since then?
XMPP. It just works, requires very little resources, is stable and has decent clients.
I would go with Snikket instead of Prosody if I had been starting now.
Conversations on phones, Dino or Gajim on PCs, plus a conversejs install on the xmpp server, to allow web access when needed.
Conversations is easy for the family to figure out.
But you can uninstall them and install a lower version
