I agree but at the same time cannot be bothered to go lower level than Python for my personal projects. It's so damn convenient.
Next to a stove, if im understanding correctly
XFCE, press f4 to open a terminal pane at the bottom of the file manager, like in KDE.
I started by getting shitty jobs like $10/hour that were not enough to sustain myself but good for building work experience and some nice comments in my profile. I can't remember paying anything to Upwork but they were less agressive back then.
In about two months I got regular paying jobs.
I've had good luck with Upwork, moved two of my clients off Upwork. Worked with them for a few years after. One went out of business, one was paying a lot and demanding a lot, eventually I wasn't able to keep up for personal reasons.
I also had a professional website and ran Google Ads (at a time it was still relevant), got many small gigs and one long-time client this way. I should mention I also wrote and sold a small software addon there, mostly as a way to acquire new clients - tried to make the support top-tier and lure clients into giving me other work.
After that, I haven't been actively looking for more work and eventually shut the website down as the software became irrelevant and I had work by word of mouth.
A very welcome one
I don't give a fuck about hexbear and the only reason I know the name is because it keeps popping up on meta@lemm.ee. Please go fuck yourself, nobody hates you, nobody even knows who you are.
Now another 7 years and 24 "please rebase this old code" requests before it's merged
Installing Python packages with pip is a hit-and-miss too
Iptables has support for forwarding network traffic via a proxy, the keyword is "tproxy".
I don't think you can use socks5 directly, but you can translate tproxy to socks5 by installing squid listening on localhost for tproxy connections and setting the socks5 as an upstream proxy.
If it reads like a bunch of obsolete tech, it's because it is, but it gets the job done.
Other people: the hardest to remove complexity
From HDDs you at least had quality magnets and a bldc motor. SSDs go straight to electro trash.
Exactly that, let's not turn Lemmy into Mastodon with all of its fragmentation and defederation wars.
Exactly, hard/easy depends on your background. It's been almost 20 years since I worked with it, I'm sure there are ready made libraries or chips implementing 99% of the protocol these days.
And in a few years the lunches go, the taxes stay, and everyone is disgusted at the poors demanding stuff for free.
CAN BUS is relatively easy to implement and ticks your boxes
Vodka
Fucking always-on connectivity and security problems caused by it are the main reason why things can't just work. You need to be updated or else.
I visited a friend not that long ago and he kept using Windows XP and The Bat and Opera around version 9. He knew every keyboard shortcut because he didn't have to relearn every few years. Never got hacked, I just wonder when his bank stops working because of TLS incompatibilities.
