I guess it depends on what is considered a "social network". I canceled my facebook a couple years ago and don't have twitter or instagram or anything else like that. I do however belong to some forums (vbulletin type sites) and pay for some extra perks on them. Like being able to post in the classifieds, etc... I notice that since getting off of facebook I started going back to forums that had specific topics. I find that the discussions on there are much friendly an about a specific topic.

Haven't heard of this stuff before, but I"m with you. "Brain Octane Oil" :rollseyes:

We use a combination of splunk, solarwinds' server & application monitoring and new relic. We're about to start using prometheus for monitoring some apps that we've moved into containers. We also have several thousand monitors/alerts that are setup in ipmonitor that we're trying to get moved over to sam.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why even use Patreon, just ask for donations directly from people. As for the original question though, just because you have a job doesn't mean you shouldn't be rewarded for your open source work as well.

This is pretty good for beginners.

What I found helped me the most was find some real world things that you'd like to accomplish and just start digging in. You'll learn the things you need along the way. I don't usually find tutorials very helpful as they just tell me to type some exact thing and surprise surprise I get the response from the tutorial, that doesn't really teach me much.

Good luck.

Or Google...

I've been using it for lots of things lately. The last thing was to process ebs volumes that get left behind when leostream deletes instances from it's pools. (we need fresh machines all the time, so that's why we delete these instead of re-using) We have it delete the machine from the pool, and the ami is set to not delete the volume. I use a cloudwatch event to detect this, spin up a new ec2 instance, attach the available volume, process some logs from it and then delete the new ec2 instance along with the volume.

I used to use a combo of python tools. Requests, beautifulsoup mostly. However the last few things I've built used selenium to drive headless chrome browsers. This allows me to run the javascript most sites use these days.

I've been thinking about building one of these, looks pretty cool. They want quite a bit to just buy one, I wonder if they'll ever sell just the case.

I've tried 7 different pages from our setup and not one of them worked.

We use ISL Pronto for connecting to external connections over the internet to users desktops.

We use this as well, although I don't think this is what the op is looking for. It sounds like he's looking to be able to connect remotely to a users desktop over the internet, not RDP into a machine on their network/s.

My most recent thing I did after getting a macbook was write a python script that went through interfacelift.com and downloaded all of the desktop images for my specific screen resolution. They sell them all in a zip for like $40 but it felt better getting them for free.(almost free, took about 30 minutes to write the script)

I've been using AWS Lambda for a few weeks now. Mostly for trivial things like tagging and infrastructure automation. I like it as it supports python. For what I'm doing I don't need any external libraries so it's pretty slick. No server to maintain, etc...

I'm struggling a bit to find event patterns that work in cloudwatch to trigger my lambda functions though. For instance when a volume becomes "available" I can't find an event pattern that triggers off of that, etc... If anyone has any tips or documentation you can point me to that would be awesome.

Are you sure about this? Just because they terminate ssl on the proxy doesn't mean the traffic between the proxy and the web service backends was plain HTTP. That's certainly not how we do things.

Solarwinds Orion Server & Application Monitor, Splunk, Lots of custom stuff using python/selenium/phantomjs to go through end user flows, etc...

How many teslas started on fire? How many of them were not modified by their owners? How many have they sold in total?

We use several things including custom scripts to monitor and alert when needed. However our main tool is ipMonitor. We monitor hundreds of servers in multiple environments (dev, test, prod) and the thing that I don't like is all the noise that gets created. It makes it hard to find the real important issues. I believe monitoring is great, but any alert should have an actionable items to perform.

There should not be a profit motive involved with incarcerating people. That's just plain immoral.

I mostly write small 1 file python, PowerShell scripts along with some VB.Net utilities. I just save my work in my drop box and I'm able to work on them on any computer. Works pretty good for small projects that you're working on alone. I should figure out git one of these days I suppose.

This link had three examples, none of which had anything to do with audio equipment.

Do you have any examples of this? My dad owns a recording studio and I've joked with him about turning up the "silver knob" which doesn't exist. Kind of an inside joke, but never seen anything like you're talking about. Certainly haven't seen it "often".

I don't think it's bot, just lots of grumpy people with nothing better to do. I quit going there because instead of getting help, I'd get down voted because of simple typos, etc... I still use it a lot, but don't really ask my own questions any more. I also refrain from answering questions as that invites a bunch of know it all's down voting my answer because it's not as slick as theirs. Way too much down voting going on there. But in their defense, there are way to many people asking the same questions over and over without searching. (not suggesting you did, just an observation)

I've been meaning to setup a backup plan for like the last 20 years. Maybe over the Memorial Day weekend.

Handing over specific user data when requested is a lot different that handing over your encryption keys though.

It does grey out the visited links for me. What browser are you using?

Been a longtime Windows user that recently switched to a mb pro 13 about 9 months ago. So far it's great. Even with only 8 gigs or ram I can run all the things I need plus a vm when when I need it to test something. Battery lasts all day no problem. Love that when it wakes up it's just like an ipad, boom it's on and ready to go always. I've never had windows laptop that could wake up from sleeping like that reliably. Good luck with whatever you choose.

Can't read the terms and conditions, when I click on the link it loads under the youtube video so I can't see the top paragraph.

I don't understand the urgency in this. Why would your church be kicking you out for trying to create an app? I can see if they don't want to be part of it, but not understanding why you can't have a side project, etc...

I'd vote python. It's pretty easy to learn and is very helpful for many types of programming.

Perhaps it started that way, but it's visible to the world now.
