The company I work for has a decent professional culture that emphasizes teamwork without any weird gimmicks. But I don’t get paid to make friends with these people. If anything, the people that think they’re there to socialize usually put the work second and make things harder for the rest of the team.
There’s nothing wrong with sharing jokes and having fun at work. As long as you understand that there’s also value in keeping your personal life seperate.
I see the appeal of a small phone that folds into a bigger phone or small tablet. But a big ass phone that folds into a medium tablet? Seems like a small market for giant-handed people.
Well… You’ve been dealt a bad hand and I’m not sure how to help you. You can do the IT career path via educating yourself but that’s not easy. It’s hard to cut yourself above the rest although it’s possible.
First thing you could do though is to accept things for how they are. People are going to throw trash until someone with authority will tell them it’s wrong and then you’ll need a generation for the change to happen.
You’ll not be able to fix India by yourself and I’m not sure if anyone can but over time things will slowly get better. Emigrating is an option, although hard and going into politics can work but that’s even harder.
But honestly, I feel like this is all things you already know. These are my completely useless two cents.
I need to read Man’s search for meaning. Ughh… sorry, that came out of nowhere, what I meant was, I need to know how to deal with things when I have been clearly dealt a bad hand by reading the work of a man who had the least reasons to see hope!
These are my completely useless two cents.
Trust me, just the acknowledgement of adversity of another helps (as long as the victim tries to acknowledge/accept the reality and work hard on improving it rather than drowning in their own miseries and the pleasures of being a victim)
For sure, realising your situation for what it is is an advantage. It sounds like you’re the type of person to get an advantage out of it. Like for example strategic land buying in India if you have the money can make you relatively wealthy over time. I want to say money isn’t everything but given I’m from Europe I feel like my opinion doesn’t apply.
Either way, I’m sure you will at the bare minimum have an average life given how much aware you are so you got that going. Best of luck man
OP, please don’t let the other users scare you off. I’ve installed Linux dozens of times on dozens of different computers and have never once lost data while doing it, not unless I explicitly choose the option installer telling it there was nothing I wanted to keep (which is labelled “DANGER - YOU WILL LOSE DATA” in red letters). Linux Mint installer has an option to let you keep your existing OS and install Linux alongside it in a “dual-boot” configuration. This means that when you install, you permanently set aside a portion of the capacity of your boot disk (hard drive, SSD etc.) for use by Linux. The total capacity of your Windows partition will shrink by that much and Linux will live in a new partition in that space (e.g. if you have a 1TB SSD and set aside 250GB for Linux, from then on Windows will start seeing your C: drive as being 750GB large and Linux will have a brand new 250GB volume as its equivalent of the C drive). You can change how much space each OS has down the line, but it’s really annoying and requires you to boot off a flash drive and not be able to use your computer for several hours while it rearranges its data.
After that, each time you turn your computer on, you’ll be asked whether you want to boot into Windows or Linux. (This will come in very handy if Linux borks itself and you need something working to be able to Google for solutions and use your computer as a computer until you can figure out how to fix it. Or if you decide down the road that the Linux way of doing things just gets under your skin and you want to go back to how your computer was before.) While booted into Linux, you’ll be able to access all the files on your Windows C: drive as though it were an external drive, but not vice versa. If you want to send files from Linux to Windows, you’ll have to boot into Linux and copy them over. Note that from the perspective of any apps you install on either OS, your Windows and Linux partitions are two totally separate computers, so expect to be asked to sign in again.
All that said, having backups is never a bad idea if you can afford it. If you can’t, a surefire way to keep Linux installer from erasing your Windows files is to put two SSDs in your machine, one for Windows and one for Linux, and disconnect the Windows one until you’ve finished installing Linux. This is what I usually do, and as a bonus gives more space for both OSes, although it’s by no means necessary.
I think it’s basically people just thinking “I want to get rid of this” and just drop/throw trash. Then if forced to think about it they’ll just rationalise it with “It’ll degrade over time” or “It’s not that big of a deal” or “I’m creating jobs for cleaners”
I really wouldn’t expose a DVR to the internet, and especially not RTSP, those sorts of things get brute forced all the time, and you can find websites full of hacked cameras.
What I would do is run a VPN server (maybe Wireguard) on your Pi, and VPN in when you want to look at your cameras.
yeah but I am not exposing my DVR to the internet, right? I only expose my reverse proxy (Caddy) to the internet that is just redirecting the traffic from my DVR. You kinda make me worry as if this is still not safe enough??
A reverse proxy by itself doesn’t do much security wise. You could possibly setup some sort of authentication, attempt blocking, and rate limiting (in the reverse proxy, don’t trust the DVR), but it’ll probably also break the DVR even more.
There’s bots that port scan and specifically target all sorts of stuff, and DVRs are a very common target. With a VPN in the way, there’s no way of knowing what’s there. A VPN also shouldn’t break the web UI.
Your personal files? Back them up onto an external drive in Windows and then copy them into your home directory after installing Linux.
If it’s app data also copy it into an external drive and import it into the apps after installing them on Linux. Depending on the app they may have cloud sync options you can use too.
Years ago I saw a show where a teacher gave a slow learner a business card sized piece of paper with a small rectangle cut out of the center. Instead of having to look at an entire page of print at once, the card let the student cut it down to one word at a time so they wouldn’t feel so intimidated.
Whenever I start to read a quote from Trump I want that little card, so I’m not overwhelmed by his sheer intelligence.
If you happen to see your post response here later on as a reply to a non-related post, but the idea is the same, it was me. This is one of the greatest replies I have seen on Lemmy and probably Reddit back in the day. It tells so much in so little and I identify with it.
I never knew how to express how intellectually insecure I feel listening to Trump speak and reading text of what he says. No I know what to do. Thank you, friend!
It was on Fox news so it was probably something like “Facebook illegally allows Democrats to exist and they broke the constitution by not forcing your content on to everyone at all times. What do you have to say to the evil baby killing transgender DEI Democrats about that? Did Zuckerberg fix the woke bug?”
