Never heard of mktemp before, that’s need. Come to think of it I never thought about how /tmp is really used by the system in the first place, time to do do studying I guess

IIRC, Azure represents the largest slice of Microsoft’s revenue… And ironically, a fair chunk of that is run on Linux

Wow, I generally knew about the vast surveillance apparatus Israel has, but the details are beyond dystopian

Coming from the 9000 series, I am wondering what do you like about the 5700 series HAL?

“like diapers or alcohol” lol. That resonates to me as a parent

Ah thanks for letting me know about Rx Resume! Great resource, and actually solves the last mile problem (creating the document) of my little personal app. I am a bit of a jack of all trades, so I made a little database for the resume where the lowest level item (the little bullet points in the experience) can have tags attached to them. So I might describe the same job/experience in multiple ways depending on who the audience is, and then filter for the tags to only get the bullet points that are relevant for that position and generate a resume.

Now instead of going into some whole slog of coding document generation, I can just export that bit as JSON and import into Rx Resume! Thanks again!

Ah thanks! I am working with .NET, and I was surprised how there’s little out there in terms of (open source) libraries for LaTex (I did some research since this comment). I might end up going with docx via the OpenXML API. Also, I haven’t really used LaTex before (has been on on my learning to-do list), and once I started messing with some templates, I realized I need to learn a lot more first.

One thing with my documents is that find and replace alone won’t work, as I need to replace some patterns. I am generating resumes, so I need to take something like a pattern for a job, and then repeat it several times

Oh wait, I misread (or assumed) that’s what they were talking about! Dang… BTW, in my case it works if you drag the file in, and then hold it there for like 5+ seconds until the UI reacts so you can drop

Oh, it wasn’t just me!

Oh that’s neat! Thanks for the tip!

Hmmm I am on EndeavourOS and was just gonna wait a little longer, but now I am tempted to just push into the 555 beta. I mean, that’s what btrfs snapshots are for amirite?

Ah, that’s the only thing I was thinking of, but it surely didn’t sound like you trying to develop a product on top of it haha

Can you tell me more about your bird recognition setup? I currently have a feeder with a PiCam on it that records based on movement (just using RPi_Cam_Web_Interface) but would love to do something like that!

Just curious, what’s their reasoning?

I am working on something similar and also planning on LaTex because it will be so easy to do find and replace because it’s plain text (just adding placeholders like ##NAME## or whatever), but I’m only planning on outputting PDFs, which would be easy enough. I don’t think there’s many viable solutions to go LaTex to docx if that’s a big requirement for you

Awesome Can’t wait to have all the pieces in place for explicit sync. It will require the Nvidia 555 driver, right?

Yeah, I just learned about this but I’m gonna stick with it. Might offer some help to the guys starting the fork organization

Oh man, I just got super invested into it a few months ago, bummer. Well, I guess I am sticking with it though for now, works well enough for me as-is, and hopefully the guys that are organizing the fork of it are successful!

I am really happy with Trilium. Powerful enough to do lots of things, simple enough to just take notes. The install comes with some neat templates for the advanced stuff. Running on docker on my Synology, I can use the web UI there but I prefer the desktop client.

Oh I think I misunderstood you - do you want me to PM the docker compose and notes on the setup?
