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

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

What is it?

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

sudo apt install hollywood

Did you then tell them “I use arch btw” and then get a confused question about architecture?

I use it to bridge Whatsapp, SMS, signal, and to receive any incoming messages on my inactive Instagram and Facebook Messenger accounts ( sometimes people contact me there). It’s a pretty nice client app, I use it on desktop too. I guess I never think about iMessage until I see reactions coming in as text haha

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?

Same here, I like it so far. Also has an option to sign up without using your email if you want full privacy. Also has a working Linux GUI client for your desktop

Same feeling, except that rather than lizard enclosure, I am waiting to see how long that Pi will last in the heat and dust of a chicken coop while serving the sole purpose of a “do we have eggs?” And/or “WTF happened/WTF did the chickens do?” Web stream

Got so carried away I didn’t answer your actual question. Yes, good speeds but then again the sucker is hooked up to gigabit fiber. But also, my speed is usually not the bottleneck anyway, I think

PS.: if you’re new to this and muddling through, I am happy to send you my notes and the docker compose file. The only thing I had to do outside of that was to mount a network folder so that it was downloading straight into my server and not locally on the Pi

Definitely does the job… I have a Plex server that a lot of family and quite a few friends use. It used to be that every time someone had a request, I would walk over to my desktop, find a torrent, wait for it to finish, copy it over the LAN to my NAS running Plex, and there might be days between me remembering to fulfill their requests. Now I get a message, and immediately from my cellphone pull up the qBitTorrent web UI, paste whatever they asked into the built-in search, click add, and reply “will be in Plex in 10-15 minutes”.

Now I want a fully automated ARR stack with one of those tools that allows people to make their own requests and it have it autopirate… So instead of them sending me request messages, I will be opening my Plex to watch TV, see something I never heard of on the “recently added”, and then guess who requested that and text them “hey was that you? Thanks for the new movie/TV show, I love it”
