IIRC you can view the source and it's all custom WebGL available for viewing.

Midjourney recently changed their terms of service and now the creators own the image and give a license back to Midjourney. Pretty cool.

I've recently finished 2 books that helped give a nice macro level to human's "progress".

'Sapiens' & 'The Perfectionists: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World'

Stuff You Should Know (podcast) has also been a gem for learning broadly about industrial and material topics.

At my parents house I purchased a relatively cheap desktop with server hardware (PowerEdge T20). We planned viewing angles and doors/windows that he wanted monitored. We ran Ethernet cables and got a POE switch.

I tested out most of the non-commercial NVR software and landed on Blue Iris (the most recommended on ipcamtalk.com). Zoneminder and others were not as stable nor feature complete. My dad has the Blue Iris app on his phone so he can monitor remotely.

Blue Iris has motion detection and other common features.

Hikvision and Amcrest are often recommended for IP cameras.

ipcamtalk.com is an great resource for troubleshooting.

It's been a rock solid setup for 3+ years.

Edit: Price list - Blue Iris 5 (~$50) + Blue Iris App (~$10) - 4 Hikvision IP Cams off eBay ($280) - T20 Desktop Server ($330) - Desktop Server Upgrades (~$160) - Ethernet Cables ($50)

Are you a fellow Tanarus refugee? I miss that game so much. I had the most flags in total in that game!

For what it's worth, I struggled for so many years understanding what higher level programming actually is, while simultaneously doing it. It never felt complete.

I went through Crash Course Computer Science (from John Green / PBS...) and it really helped me feel grounded.

Maybe this is attempting the same, just starting at one end of the abstractions.

I hadn't heard of WhatsApp for years being in the USA. You are right that in the states texting was free much earlier.

It spread like fire with Europeans being able to text across countries. Texting was free within country, but between was expensive.

My guess is to be invited into the slack chatroom. I remember slack needing that to invite.

Just an FYI, those who may be doing the hiring may have no understanding of how to contact you. I'd highly suggest to add your email as well. Make it as easy as possible for someone to reach out.
