  • I’ve been using copilot. Potential is there but getting a result is more art than science. I’ve found it helpful to document desired workflows in readmes and ask for unit tests then run unit tests until it works out.

    • use a premium model like sonnet and put it in agent mode
    • Ask it to review the project
    • ask it to review the ticket/requirements
    • ask it to research existing solutions and write a design document that meets the requirements with high certainty
    • Let it write the document and make sure it stays on task
    • review the output and send build errors back, roll forward or undo the code and re-submit
    • identify what works and reduce scope








  • An interview is an opportunity for both of you to decide if it’s a good fit. Unfortunately the seeker is usually happy to accept anything. Lying is counter productive. They only want to hear any reason that you picked their workplace. Consider it structured small talk and focus on your energy.

    I generally say: "let’s be realistic, I’m not passionate about what your company does. I am here to trade my time for wages and I have heard good ones about [company name].

    Elaborate by mentioning something from their website to appear engaged and interested. Say you were a perfect fit because you meet all the requirements, talk about a friend who works there, mention using their products or services, or just mention that it’s close to your house and will be a short commute. Ultimately this is a soft question that is just to get a quick idea of each person applying.



  • I offered 3 potential solutions that work across ever model (unlisted) and you guys are downvoting?

    • USB - apple 30 pin: note that the pin number might change depending on release year. Someone smarter than me will mention why firmware might not work out.
    • USB to aux: this will give you a headphone jack and is the most reliable
    • FM transmitter: if you lack a headphone jack you can also get an FM transmitter. It makes your device a mini radio station. These are pretty unreliable or staticy, but sometimes you need an option. I would recommend a new player first.







  • On a very specific note, I don’t run my Plex server in a container. I have a docker compose setup with 20+ apps, but Plex is on the bare metal OS because it’s kinda finicky and doesn’t like nas. You also need to setup the Plex API to claim the server as the container name changes. This is my stock Plex config if it helps

    plex:
        image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest
        container_name: plex
        network_mode: host
        environment:
          - PUID=1000
          - PGID=1000
          - TZ=Etc/GMT
          - VERSION=docker
          - PLEX_CLAIM= #optional
        volumes:
          - /home/null/docker/plex/:/config
          - /x:/x
          - /y:/y
          - /z:/z
        restart: unless-stopped
    

  • It’s built on the shipping container parallel. In order to transport objects you obfuscate anything not required for shipping a container.

    • What’s inside the container doesn’t matter. The container has everything it needs to run because the ship/host is responsible for the overhead.
    • containers move. Containers are setup to run by themselves, so you can move it from one ship to another. This means you can use your container doesn’t care if it’s in the cloud or a shipping vessel
    • As soon as you open a container your stuff is there. It’s very easy to onboard.
    • Most importantly though, your shipping container isn’t a full boat by itself. It lives in a sandbox and only borrows the resources it needs like the hosts CPU or the boats ability to float. This makes it easier to manage and stack because it’s more flexible
