I like Simple Note.

I’m not sure about real time collab, but I know you can share notes.

https://simplenote.com/

They do have a github page. Having to make an account and store notes server side is a big minus, but it is the only one I’ve found to

1. Not be Google
2. support all major OS (Lin, Win, Mac, And, ios, and browser)
3. Not serve ads
4. Not require self hosting
5. Not ask for money (beside a donate button)
6. Not be Google

Edit.

Digging into it a bit more. Seems they started in 2008 and were aquired by Automattic, in 2013. Same people behind WordPress. Oddly enough, Simple Note is not listed in their list of products.

Simple Note client side is GPL-2.0 The server is proprietary

They say on their own site, don’t store sensitive data. But that’s good advice for any online service.

Found it. Thanks

Some new features, bug fixes, and ongoing support.

It is a new application so you do have to set it up fresh - don’t switch until you have a bit of spare time. Missed the back and restore button in settings.

Personally I’m on one of the fork’s beta versions. I’m waiting for the f-droid release so I get updates.

It looks a lot cleaner now.

The body text seems too light still, but that might be my phone screen. It should be solid black.

Only One change from here I would strongly recommend making is the blue “city” text black.

Treat blue and bold text as your ‘highlighter’, there to help someone quickly navigate to the important sections of the page. City is not important. Your use of varriying font sizes and bullet lists is great for page navigation.

If I was going to use color, I’d highlight the jobs before the city name/git link.

The rest is personal taste.

Personally, I think the blue headers is enough. It might get to too blue if you color job titles as well. You don’t need a separate monochrome version, the dark blue will show as black if it happens to be printed in B&W. You should also test print your resume in B&W. I find easier to spot errors on paper.

Edits as I spot more little things.

(Also there’s an extra space in the second skill name - Event Bus)

(You also have space to make programming languages one line. At first glace I though you had a blank section for “languages”. Could probably just say “programming”, but I’m not in that field so maybe that’s frowned upon?)

(In education, you have an example line underneath the university name, what is that line for? I would put the degree in that space, not off to the side. That’s technicaly more important that the university it self, but it’s probably “improper form” to list that above the uni name. (or whatever some one snoby would say).

(One last thing, you don’t really need your full street address. Its unlikely anyone will mail you a response, and its just as likely you’ll have to enter it into the application form anyways. City will suffice.)

(One last last thing, if you’re going to give yourself titles at the top, you better show them in your expirence section. (I know this is just an example template and I am being incredibly picky) but I don’t see architect anyware in the actual resume. That communicates to me you’re just calling yourself related titles hoping one sticks)

This looks good.

A few unsolicited nit-picky suggestions;

• I’m not a big fan of mixing colors in a single word. ‘Taky’ might the be the right to describe why. I do like the color blue you used - if you’re going to do it, make it the whole word. The name should also be consitent. Bold and either black or blue, not black and blue.
• The light blue and light gray body text is difficult to read. Colors should be solid black, or navy blue. Bright and ‘fun’ colors are heard to read for some. Assume they’re colorblind or will print it on a B&W printer with poor contrast.
• I like to lead with the job title instead of the company. Where you worked is largely irrevelvant compared to what you’ve done at those places. It also makes it easy to combine company, city and years in one line.
• start with previous jobs (unless education was most recent or more relevant to new job). Typically the order is job > skills > education.
• Avoid italics they can be unnecessarily diffuclt to read

Education does not need so many details (if relevant to job, include specific courses and projects). Grad date can be omitted to help obfuscate you’re age (a grad from 2024 is probably inexpirenced, while a 1967 grad is going to be retiring soon).

Two lines is all you need;

I think they are suggesting the abality to reset 2fa for a service if they have access to your email.

Let’s say your database contains your email service, and bank account without 2fa. Let’s also assume they got acess to your email through a sham site that had you type credentials in and 2fa.

Hacker gets database.

They can login into your email and use the recovery code the bank send to your email for “lost my 2fa”. (And delete the mail notifications as they come in, hopefully before you catch on)

A bank (should) have additional steps such as phone number, or a real recovery key you were supposed to write down, but a random online store or entertainment site will probably will just reset the 2fa and the hacker can go from there.

Realsisticlly we should be using at least 3 password database files with different master passwords for better security.

1. Account logins and passwords
2. TOTP
3. Any 2fa recovery keys.

However in practice, that is a pain in the ass and if someome has taken the time to breach your 1 specific database instead of going after easier targets, they probably have all your databases.

Going to preface this one with an /s

You can hire a maid to assist you around the house. She can turn on and off the lights via voice command, open the blinds in the morning, lock the door when you leave, adjust the heat throught the day, open the garage door when you pull in, and so much more. You don’t even need a camera to protect against pirates, for when a package arrives - she can bring it inside right away.

The privacy implications are amazing compared to other options. There’s only one person watching you and you know exactly who it is. She won’t sell your data to “third party partners”. Most you have to worry about is her gossiping about you with her friends who are sick of hearing about some random dude on Lemmy all day.

Traditionally, there is a subscription fee. If you don’t want to pay, you’re best (leagl) opton is to have a kid and train them well. That will last you until you’re at the age when you can’t stand up and walk to the light switch, but then you can upgrade to a nurse paid for by the child who is too busy training their own child to bother with you.

I can solve problems and always get my work done, but I don’t even know the language/framework I use daily well enough to explain what’s going on, I can just do things.

Solving problems and getting a result that someone else is happy with is 90% of engineering. No one knows everything, your job is to use what you DO know to figure something new out.

The last 10% is what you need to work on - being able to confidently explain to a boss what you do in way that they understand while sounding complex enough to justify your pay and subsequent raises.

In time you will learn whatever system your using.

However, on the flip side, if the current job isn’t getting you anywhere and everyone there sucks. Leave, take the better paying job for a little while, continue working on your skills and look for a engineering job elsewhere.

Looks like a good option to start with before rainmeter, it stinks that cal sync is part of the paid option, but paid is only 10£ lifetime. I’ll see how it goes.

I’m not worried about, the more complex option is more fun anyways.

Ah, I forgot about Rainmeter…the most complex option for something seemingly so simple. I’m honestly surprised that a calandar widget isn’t a more common thing.

Imagine someone handed you check #001 for $1000…would you really trust it?

I use Spytify, so I “download” my songs real time in the background. If anything it makes me more intentional about what I do grab. Grabbing the entire discography of an artists may take a day, so a little pre-veting is necessary. you find out why some of the big names only have 1 or 2 hits out of a hundred, but you also find some great songs that didn’t make it.

I’ll usually aquire a few albums at a time. I’ll give each song a quick pass (jumping to random parts) to determine the following

1. is the song awful and/or nothing like what the artist normally does = Delete.
2. is there dead space (a really long start/end of silence) or random talking/noises = trim
3. is it the volume stupidly loud/quiet compared to other songs = fix*
4. stupid rap section in the middle for no reason (thank god that trend is basically gone) = cut
5. what playlists does it belong in?

*I use MP3Gain for bulk volume adjustment, it does pretty good and is non-destructive, though not every player respects the adjustment (a tag in metadata or something)

I don’t catch everything doing this, mostly because I spend a few seconds on each song, but it does filter out a lot.

Sometimes it takes a few listens to decide “I dont like this song” - delete.

I’m not a completionist (or try not to be) for albums/artists. If I don’t like the song, its gone. If there’s one part of a whole that I don’t like, its chopped out.

Spytify

It records Spotify music real time, at the highest available bit rate (as long as you set it). Uses Spotify API to pull track metadata and album art. Its smart enough to not records ads and auto deletes tracks under 30 seconds (I think you can change the time)

It’s slower than YouTube DL, but having all the metadata sorted out for you is a big plus.

Its probably about 98% error free, sometimes a second of a song ending gets put on the next track. A quick cut/paste in Audacity and it’s fixed.

It works best if you have a separate audio device, otherwise other computer sound gets recorded too. I’m not going to do a full tutorial (unless someone asks), but basically you set the audio for Spotify on audio device #2, and continue as normal on audio device #1. It has a loopback feature too, so if you want to listen/record the same time you can.

Whoever took that screenshot needs a better spot for their passwords and shit. Those should not be mixed.

Am I the only one who doesn’t use automatic updates for apps? I like to read the change logs, both out of mild curiosity, and to know if an app has a “major UI update”

Only mention of rust: “Standalone Rust component experiment of a notes implementation in Thunderbird”

Other planned features of note

• Microsoft exchange support
• updated database allowing for modern conversation view

The real question is; why was starfield an option to begin with? Same with RDR2, who comes up with the “ballots”?

You mean I shouldn’t have a two page essay summarizing my entire life? /s

In all seriousness, its unfortunate how many people are mislead by school “career coaches” into making resumes and cover letters filled with fluff.

Here’s some things I remember;

• A paragraph about yourself/goals - waste of space and save that for an interview/cover letter.
• A photo of yourself - you don’t want to add unnecessary bias to the process. (Age, race, gender, sex, etc.)
• your name should be top center, with contact info (email, phone) underneath (use a smaller font than name)
• Address - not needed, you may want to include your town/city if being local is going to be relevant to the employer.
• School classes - to be fair this was probably used in lieu of real jobs so kids could actually fill it out. It is not relevant unless the class is extremely relevant to what the job is and you don’t have other related experiences.
• School GPA - no one cares. For secondary education, state the collage/uni name, your major and minor. Don’t include grad year as this can revel your age.
• Don’t include every job, at a certain point you can leave your two years of retail/fast food behind.
• A giant side boarder - huge waste of space
• references - three. no more, no less. Don’t include on publicly posted resume, such as LinkedIn.
• Family reference - no, unless it’s a family business and that’s all you have.
• multiple pages - no. One page. Reasonable font size (12-14). Vary the font size based on information to help break up blobs if text, A header might be size 16 and bold, while the years worked might be 12, and body text at 14. Dont go less than 10 for anything, and avoid italics, those usually do more harm than good for making it easy to read.
• • be consistent!
• job tile is more important than where you worked.
• Fudging job titles a little bit is oky to match the general industry or be a better description. For example my summer job was working with my school’s IT dept. to do computers and protectors, my official title was “maintenance assistant” - I put “IT assistant” on my resume

Instead of

Bobs Auto Shop

Accountant, 2019-2022

• copy paste the entire job description word for word until you fill the page.

Lead with

Accountant

Bobs Auto Shop, 2019-2022

• Brief description
• applicable buzz words related to the job you are applying too
• Achievements, successes etc. An actual example of something to show you did something useful. This is something that can lead to a longer conversation at an interview. “I created a new process for handling bulk inventory purchasing.” or something, preferably relevant to new job.
