So I got accepted and committed to Drexel. That's pre cool I guess. I'm going for CS, but feel like I'm completely unprepared for college. I've been told that college is nothing like CS which kinda worries me because apcsa was a bit challenging. I have a few years of self learning but I'm still concerned how I'm gonna perform. I think the biggest struggle will be the math courses. Anyone else going through this or have gone through this?

How does an older Thinkpad function with modern software? I was planning on running a Linux distro on it. Maybe a Minecraft server too.

I've installed Arch on my laptop that I've had since 7th grade. (cause I wanted to try it out, windows stills runs fine on an ssd) I feel like Arch has taught me a lot about how Linux actually works to some extent.

But that's boring stuff, I run minecraft better on Arch than I do on windows :D. I can even host and play at the same time while it still being playable

Anyone use a anything like a dbrand skin on their device? If so what device and which skin, how do you feel about the skin?

Well, I kinda regret.posting what I did yesterday about my Mac because now I can't get gdb to run. Keeps on saying something about codesiging even though I already did it. I'm not trying to use a virtual machine either.

I don't have too many complaints about my MacBook Pro but once thing that makes me sad is it's battery life.

So I'm starting to do leetcode because I've been hearing a lot about how a lot of companies use leetcoding exercises to help them decide whether or not they will hire you but also because it seems like it would help me in a coding competition I may participate it.

But I've realized that I have a hard time doing any of these problems, even the "easy" ones.

Is there something I should be proficient in to do leetcode? I feel like I know language syntax well enough to the point that it isn't holding me back.

Any recommendation to resources would be much appreciated.

I don't know why this is so difficult for me but getting ssl for my site is very annoying. I've been building this one site that I need ssl for but I just cant get lets encrypt or certbot to work.

I'm asking for help because I've looked through a lot of articles and stackoverflow posts but nothing seems to work for me.

I'm sorry I know this isn't some stackoverflow alternative but I'm getting kinda desperate here.

I made the site in Flask and Im using gunicorn as the webserver and I can access it at xx.xx.xx.xx:8000 just fine

Then I'm running a nginx reverse proxy to forward all :80 requests to :8000.

I have this one route i made for testing called random (ex xx.xx.xx.xx/random) and it works fine when I'm using my external ip.

I think the problem is with my domain name.
I got it for free of off freenom and it just forwards traffic on the domain (hacschedule.tk) to my ip (not sure if I should have actually put the domain)

This works fine for when I'm just trying to get to the home page, but when i put www.hacschedule.tk/random, it just redirects me to www.hacschedule.tk aka the homepage.

I've tried making routes for the certbot/letsencrypt tools but they keep failing and I think its because of the domain name but since this is my first time actually trying to put a project into production, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

If anyone could try to lead me the right way I'd really appreciate it. It's an app I wanted to build for peers to use to see school schedule in a more familiar way (we changed systems)

So there's this coding competition called "Code Quest" hosted by Lockheed Martin. The rules state that for each team you can have one computer for coding solutions for the problems that the provide. ONE computer I feel is very restrictive and I wonder if my two teammates are going to the bulk of the work.

Ordered a MacBook and it comes in a few days. Any must have apps for MacOs? Also, what are some resources to learn how to make Apps in MacOs?

I really want to get into Android Dev but everytime I start I always get to making a hello world app, and then just go AFK for like 3-4 months and then make another hello world app. Anyone know a reliable way to learn Android Dev?

SSD boot times went for sub 20 seconds from a year ago to just under two minutes now :(

Moved into a new house and now won't have internet for the next 2 weeks because xfinity is apparently busy in my area

Forgot to put a restor in my circuit and pumped 3 volts into a tiny LED :((

You know how I broke my NAS yesterday? Well I fixed most of the functionality and made a video so other people could do it the same way. It's a short video that has subpar editing 😂. (I posted this a little earlier but I said the same thing twice) here's the link https://youtu.be/QIQ1lqqh3Fg

I tried a stupid and now my NAS isn't working.

Project Euler is very difficult for a potato Head like me

I really suck at math rip

Sister: Does the cable (referring to ethernet) ever run out of internet?

Trying out perl to see whether or not I like it. I've been away from coding for such a long time though so it's taking me ages to even have the ability to sit down and open up vscode.

Some new toys I just ordered

Is this an accomplishment?

I liek stikerz

The Arduino programming language (.ino) is so easy to understand and learn
But trying to make the equivalent in raspberry pi whether it's in c or python is just not as elegant as Arduino :(((

Seeing code control things in the real world is the most satisfying thing ever, I'm getting a robot car kit Soon and I'm so excited

Got some toys to play with

I despise when two people compete on who has things worse

Unpopular opinion but some things are better in light mode

Finish some existing projects
Start some new bigger projects
Earn money to buy better laptop
Master python
Learn c
Do well in school

Using netbeans for Java at school is very annoying, I'm about to either go to tech department at school and be like ayyo could you install something like sublime/vscode or just bring in my own copy on a flash drive

Edit:I duck at spelling
