@sandeepbalan Haven't yet, will definitely give it a look!

@vomitmachine DON'T GIVE UP!

You owe it to yourself, you're probably in your twenties and just graduated college. These are the years that will most likelyvdefine your professional future.

You MUST find a place that is going to value you invest in you. Have as many interviews as you can, become good at them. Find a workplace where you can truly learn and grow. Be prepared to change company or even field, if you don't like what you are doing.

Don't give up, both risks and opportunity are high at this point: a successful and satisfying career vs retiring still doing a job you hate and pays you shit.

Hope I didn't sound too harsh, just trying to give you some motivation :)

Some search engines and services, especially those which provide digital contents, have to comply with local laws, privacy policies and digital rights regulations. That's why they enforce localization. It doesn't care if you are an American tourist in Germany, if Germany laws forbid a digital content, you should be prevented from accessing it, otherwise the provider would be liable for "distributing" it.
Of course you can still use a VPN...

Useful reminder, I usually attach the file right before typing in the mail text, so I don't forget it

@virtual-reality
Do not get fooled, those expecting others to do things for free or a cheap price are often far richer than
everybody else, and are greedy. They try to save every cent on your salary so they could by their new car next month. You should ask the right amount of money, based on your role but also on the responsibility you have. If you are the only dev in the project that's a hell of responsibility.

Non profit and volunteering for something you care about is a good thing, but anything else is work and you deserve to be payed. And you deserve an adequate compensation for your work. Have you ever been to a doctor who applied a discount to his bills because he loved his job? Or bought a car and got a discount 'cause "I love selling cars"?

If you are not concerned with data collection, I think there are a couple of pros in signing up with one of those services. You don't have to generate and store a new password for every online service, which can be a pain, and if you are the kind of person who happen to reuse passwords, you avoid giving it to a website you do not trust.

@skprog
LOL, nice one!
You reminded me of someone writing a firewall rule to redirect SSH login attempts back to the computer originating them.
Chinese hackers were unknowingly hacking themselves

@globalvariable
Is it really that bad?
I know very little of OTP authentication mechanisms but many widespread apps do fetch the code automatically so I assume it is to some extent secure.
Would you explain your point?

@abcdev
Was talking of this issue in another post and well, if you want the app to be as user-friendly as possible I think is the way to go. Though I'm not aware of the risk.

@globalvariable
Why is it bad to fill in OTP automatically?

Is it really possibile? I thought inline always has precedence

I think Microsoft has no intention to quit the the development of her own Internet browser. You can collect and sell lots of personal data with a browser. As far as I know MS is getting more and more interested in the cloud and data business. Giving up their own browser means they won't be able to collect those data.

As soon as you learn the basics you'll find yourself very comfortable and will find out new useful commands from once in a while.
I really like some of VIM editing capabilities.

Well, as far as it goes anything Turing complete is a programming language...

Who cares of the random stuff bought from Amazon, I want that drone!

I remember SMS is required for "automatic" number verification when you sing up, so you don't have to type the verification code you receive.
Put apart the fact that the more data they collect the more they earn, which is true. For apps like WhatsApp, Instagram and Snapchat, used by billions of non tech savvy people, ease of use is a must.

Sometimes I feel the same. That's how it works, free app means you pay with your personal data...
Just keep in mind that in new Android systems you are asked for each permission the first time the app needs it and you can deny if you wish.

@skprog
Spammers gonna spam...
There's nothing you can do about it, except keeping your contact details private.
Here where I live people get plenty of calls from ISPs, satellite tv providers, random promoters... all you can do is opting out from commercial use of your personal infos when you fill documents. It doesn't always work.
This to say that even IRL sometimes privacy is not respected, online it can only get worse.

@bittersweet true, but as a college student I've learnt that a professional and motivated professor is much better when you are studying something new and need to be introduced to the subject.
Yes, you can still learn from textbooks, papers, trying yourself different stuff... but it takes time and lots of patience, you may miss some important concepts or get stuck.
Having someone who know the stuff explaining it to you is a big time save.
Let me also say that online or free resources for very advanced topics are often hard to find, provided they exist.

I always use WhoIs Guard on my domains. I host a website on a Raspberry and I've registered the domain with my exact personal info.
I've got no problem with my full name online, but I think it's good to hide phone number and home address for a couple of dollars.

Here someone interested in Udemy courses. I see lots of interesting topics and I would like to study some of them. Do you find them useful? Would you say they are somehow comparable to a "university course" or they just give you a bunch of basic insights on the matter?

If I understood what @moortuvivens meant, I've done the same with my self hosted website. I've got a domain registered with Namecheap and use ddclient, running on the same raspberry hosting the website, to update the DNS field. I had to set very short TTL in order to avoid caching.

@endor
I know you can ask for a public IP for free, a friend of mine did it a year ago in order to reach his home network with SSH and host web services.

@thepra
Living in Italy and got the same ISP. As far as I know Telecom Italia always provide you with a public IP address, though not static. Your router is always reachable from the outer world. You just have to configure port forwarding properly.
I see you got the thing done, congrats! I run a self hosted server myself and that's the way you learn ;)
Now that your server is reachable from outside LAN you should also be concerned with security.
