Question kinda related to this post.

I’m looking to get back into piracy and have been saving to build a server to handle it. I’m now hearing about these seed boxes in the cloud.

So my question is this a viable option until I build a server. Like I can set up torrents and maybe Radarr, etc. then just use my home pc for Jellyfin and connect it to the seed box? Or is the seed box mainly used to do the torrenting before you STFP the files to your actual server?

I enjoyed it.

It’s odd that you would call anything subjective overrated.

The government. They used to provide housing in the UK and then they stopped and stopped building new houses and now they’re unattainable for most.

I already don’t use Amazon and I think I might actually have them at a net loss as I used to say things didn’t arrive back when they would do anything to make you happy.

Upvoted because everybody should stop using Amazon.

I can’t relate to this at all.

We use windows machines as software developers at work and really have no issues at all. Never had a bluescreen in these two years.

I use windows at home to play Factorio, Minecraft, and RDR2. Again, never had an issue. No blue screens. I turn it on open steam and play my games then turn it off when done.

I tried Linux again cause I got sucked in by this echo chamber and that did not go well at all. I explicitly said I don’t want to have to be a nerd in my free time to manage Linux which I was assured isn’t the case. Then one day I turn it on and have no sound and no idea why it just died. I swiftly removed Linux and went back to windows.

I do use Linux for servers for Jellyfin and stuff and I like it for those things, but me personally have had a better experience using windows and I can’t understand all these people against it.

But they said they wanted to watch it in the cinema. Confused by this reply.

They’ll be laws against that though.

I know there are but my employer is amazing and the work life balance is great. Don’t care enough to try and change our tech stack, but I hold no ill will towards anyone who does care enough.

Yup. Software developer here for a small company. We use a Windows. Chrome for testing applications and edge is just there. We are all in on Microsoft, server is C# .Net, running on azure with teams and outlook and office.

I do use Firefox though but I’m the only one out of 7.

To be honest I’m just playing into the meme of Java.

My understanding is it’s academically great, but a pain in practice.

For reference we use C# .Net, Entity Framework with GraphQL and React TypeScript for our enterprise applications and I really like C# now, but when I first started I’d only really used Node.js and some Java.

No problem. Ohio is a new one for me?

It looks valid but vibe isn’t declared anywhere so it won’t compile.

As a C# developer Java go go and die lol. It sucks imo.

You missed

• Rizz = charisma
• vibe check = Vibe is kinda like someone’s aura or energy. So to check their vibe is to call them out on it.

Also got many grey hairs but I like to know what people mean and language evolves. Our generation did it too you get me blud.

It’s a recent thing for me. I think XQC (think that’s a streamer) and the end of this link is XcQ with an upper case W just before. I don’t think I’ll never not notice now.

We work as software engineers and my colleague works on a particular application for one of our clients and I shit you not the following happens regularly.

• Colleague emails client with a change log for the latest publish.
• Client prints off the email and annotates it with a pen.
• Takes a photo of the printed out email.
• Attaches it to his reply.

Not quite.

I can only describe in this way to try and explain.

You start work 01/01/2025.

No stocks given.

1 year later 01/01/2026

You get given say 10 shares unvested which vest after two years.

1 year later 01/01/2027

Nothing beats but you get another 10 shares unvested which vest after two years.

1 year later 01/01/2028

The first set you were given have vested and you can sell them or keep them. The second set have not vested as they have one more year to go. You get a third set of shares which again vest in two years

Then the cycle repeats.

Hope I explained that well enough.

Thanks I understand it now.

This isn’t what we had at Apple. They would vest after two years. So after year two you would have stocks vesting every year and when you leave you would only be leaving the last two years on the table, which seems more reasonable than the Amazon example.

What do you mean by back-weighted and how is it fucked up? Genuinely don’t know.

I worked for Apple on the Genius Bar in the Uk and we had the same schedule. I didn’t see it as a bad thing and when it was time to leave to become a software engineer I just had to weigh how much money I would lose that had not vested vs potential in new career.

Are they not just an incentive to keep staff. I will say that I’ve had 60+ jobs in my life and aside from my current one for a small company as an engineer, Apple was leaps and bounds above all the others in terms of support, benefits, and just a good work life balance. It was because I was surrounded by talented people and supported that I got my shit together and learned to program, which Apple also made many concessions to allow me the time.
