- Comment on College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself 2 weeks ago:
Even some more renowned universities do that too. Sometimes if a course is being taught poorly I can go look up slides from like Stanford or something.
I think the higher level courses simply require too much basic knowledge to understand anyway, so putting it out there will allow people in similar level to help out each other, but people who don’t have the basics will still not understand.

Oh I actually linked the wrong course. That one was for intro to OS. This here is the networking one: github.com/henryhxu/CSCI4430

Idk if this is specific to computer science or engineering, but the higher level CS courses I’ve taken basically stop caring. Most of them even make the lecture slides available for the general public. You can just access it, like my networking course just throws the slides to GitHub.

Please take a look as soon as you are able to. Your avatar is as handsome as comrade Xi Jinping. I look forward to our collaboration.”

Copyparty is awesome. You don’t even need to sync you can just mount WebDAV

Daddy is used normally here. I can’t think of a Cantonese equivalent off my head right now, but we have plenty of phrases describing different relationships types.
For example, 食軟飯 (eat soft rice) means a man being financially dependent on a woman.

It’s for messaging. I put Matrix and Discord over there. Chat and OBS also goes there when I stream.
So all I do is occasionally look over at it. It’s not really a problem for my neck.

My bed is right behind this picture and I sometimes lie down and turn right to look at the main monitor. Turning left-up balances it.

- Comment on Reproducible alternatives to nextcloud? 2 months ago:
Some Android file managers support WebDAV. I’m using Amaze which unfortunately doesn’t, so instead I have DAVx5 and I can use it to browse files on the server.
Alternatively, you can use rclone in Termux to download the server files to the device. I use this to sync music from my server.
For your PDF use case, unfortunately you will need to first download the file before opening it.

Copyparty! github.com/9001/copyparty
Insanely powerful, consumes much less resource and is very easy to setup. It does one thing (cloud storage) and it does it well.

The tone 2 and 5 difference is subtle. 5 goes not as high as 2. Most of the time people pronounce them lazily but I can figure it out from the context.

Kind of ironic that we named the western countries with nice words and got invaded instead
