You can take your passport, but it's going to interesting when you try to leave the county with no record of entering. Getting back into your home county will be fun too.

[Hypothetical] The internet is getting shut down for 5 years. You have 100 GB of storage available, you have 24 hours to prepare. What do you download? in c/asklemmy

Start running wires and make a intranet with my neighbors. WiFi would be easier, but would the internet police be looking for signals?

Would Netflix go back to mailing physical disks? Would I have to go buy albums? Weird. You could buy of borrow the physical media and add it to your intranet.

I'd probably download a couple TV series and some music. I'd also get software to make sure I can copy and store everything.

The filter by watched/unwatched feature got fast-tracked after my wife was complaining about having to vote on movies we already watched. 😅 It is live now.

The IP and location is the Heroku server where the app is hosted.

I checked Overseerr and they have a nicer message when you log in

I'll have to dig into it and see if there is a better way to authenticate. Plex doesn't have much documentation for 3rd party app developers.

I'm an unemployed software developer with some time to make things I've wanted to exist.

I just released a web app that lets you log in with your Plex account which imports the movies available in your library, create a voting session, and invite friends to vote on movies. When a movie gets votes from all your friends in the session, it is declared the winner and the session creator will get a link to open the movie in Plex.

I was tired of endlessly scrolling through my movie library whenever it was time to pick a movie. I think this will help.

Here are some screenshots

Voting Session

Check it out if you like the idea. You can reply here or DM if you run into any issues or have any ideas.

Some of my ideas for the next features to add:

Filter by watched/unwatched
Select genres for the voting session
Make popcorn

What Was Your Experience Being Laid Off? in c/[email protected]

What Was Your Experience Being Laid Off? in c/[email protected]

[–] frank 13 points 4 months ago

I was with a SaaS company for 5 years. It was my first job in software. I busted my ass and worked my way up. I ended up managing the support department while leaning how to code in my spare time. I move to Engineering and was a developer for two years.

The company had a great culture and I was genuinely proud to work there.

Then a growth equity firm came in. They said they weren't going to change the "magic" we had and were just there to give us the tools and expertise to grow. That is when the steady erosion of our company culture began.

The third CE0 since I've been there took over a few months ago. Of course he promised there would be no layoffs and he didn't see a need to change anything. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, I was getting panicked messages from coworkers saying they were getting let go and then I saw the 15-minute meeting with my department head on my calendar.

When the dust settled, the first layoffs at our company were over. A third of our engineering department was gone and our work was being outsourced to an outside firm.

Now I'm looking for work and it seems really daunting. My wife is self-employed and lost her biggest client that made up 80% of her income right before I got laid off. I got 4 weeks of severance initially, but I was able to negotiate 8 weeks.

Now I'm reaching out to my network, applying to as many jobs as I can find, building more portfolio projects to pad my GitHub account, and believing things will work out so I don't have a complete nervous breakdown.

I don't recommend it. Don't be laid off.

How big is your desk? in c/[email protected]

I have a KVM switch so I can control my array of computers with one monitor setup. I have a normal desk and a big closet to house all the computers.
