People are defined by the people around them. Make sure they have a good group of friends. Friends they can depend on, friends they learn from and vise versa and most importantly friends with morality that make the right choices in life.

One I saw 8 times when it came out is E.T. Hadn’t seen it mentioned yet.

More recently I loved coming back to Lost in Translation.

Found them:

• https://github.com/getmydia/mydia If you get round to it and have an opinion on these alternatives, let me know.

Oh thanks, I hadn’t even noticed that. I did some research into *arr alternatives a few weeks ago. I found 3 and this one looked like it had the most features. I will look up the other two contenders again then.

You’re not alone. It’s super frustrating when things don’t work and you have to search through 4 apps to figure out what is wrong. This architecture makes the whole setup brittle.

Fortunately, there are all in one alternatives to the arr stack. I found a couple, but I think Cinephage is the most mature.

Have a look at onedev.io. it’s local fit hosting but it includes cicd and even an issue tracker.

I’ve written thousands of lines of untyped python code for a system (still) used daily by hundreds of users, handling time critical as well as financial data. It made the company I worked for millions and it worked. Was it bug free? Nope, bugs would appear in production from time to time, but they were very easy to detect, and very quickly solved, especially because of the fact that python is an interpreted language. In 7 years of working on that application there was only one bug that caused data corruption and required us to reprocess some data that took a day or three. That was the worst thing to happen in the entire lifetime of that codebase. I totally agree that if you structure your code properly, log properly and give your developers the trust and permissions to actually solve stuff in production quickly, you might even get a competitive advantage.

That is one side of the coin. But what if he gets into financial trouble later in life, when you’re no longer there, or otherwise able to support him? Addictions, accidents, bad business ownership, legal trouble - there are lots of ways people can inadvertently lose everything they have.

If you’ve never learned how to build stuff up from the ground up, it will be a lot harder to recover.

There are valuable lessons in earning your own house and working for your keep. If everything comes easy it’s going to be a problem when things get tough. You can only hope you set them up well enough that there’s never going to be financial woes.

Does it have an app to automatically backup photos and documents from an Android or iOS phone by chance? I know I can use syncthing, but in my experience a tool like Synology Drive works more reliably.

Exactly. Intellectual property only applies to corporations. As soon as it’s an individual’s, it’s fair game it seems.

Meta even got caught illegally downloading books via torrents and using those as training material for A.I.

You know what would be fair, seeing as that A.I. is trained on the collective knowledge of everyone that has added content to the Internet? All A.I. models trained on public data should be free to use for everyone.

I think vercel (formerly zeit.co) has a free tier for static websites.

Agreed, but automation is not always the same as increased efficiency.

One example he gives is Facebook - it allows you to keep track of events you might like to go to, which seems convenient, but then it will show you hundreds of other events you might want to go to, much more than a single person can visit.

Another example is food delivery - in the US there was even one company advertising with the fact that when you order food, you can do so without having to interact with anyone. While that might be convenient, a lot of neighborhoods lose cohesion, because people stop meeting each other at the local takeout or have a small interaction with the people behind the counter there. The gist of it is, that it’s okay for some things to be a little less convenient, because there is always a cost involved.

What he promotes is to accept that you can’t get everything done. You have limited time, and sometimes you’ll have to accept that the laundry might pile up while you are working on your book/application/… whatever.

It also puts in perspective what you are actually working for - he quotes the parable of the businessman and the Greek fisherman to illustrate.

I’m currently reading 4000 weeks by Oliver Burkeman and it really hits home.

Burkeman is a former productivity guru that has tried all kinds of productivity tools and lifehacks only to realize that trying to get more efficient only results in keeping you even more busy.

People are always striving for that next step to get to a mythical point in life where they think they can relax and enjoy life, and for most of us, that point never comes, because we’re too busy trying to get there

I can recommend A brief history of time by Stephen Hawking as a good scientific read with very clear and simple explanation of the topic.

Farming? I was talking about data engineering.
