I plan to perhaps, just maybe, I am not sure, to try self-hosting an email server. But I’ll need a good uptime.
Although I am really scared about security.

Ooooo, that looks nice.

I used to keep a charged spare on me.

There’s at least one Chinese brand that has smartphone with hot-swappable battery: rugone.net/products/xever-8

Removable battery. Swap within 2 minutes for zero interruption. After 2 minutes, the device enters a 60-second safety lock-out to protect your data.

Unfortunately, software from these brands tends to be shit. I feel like they just outsource it to the cheapest company. Especially following this recent thing:

As of March 4, Sophos X-Intercept telemetry listed over 500 unique compromised Android devices across nearly 50 models. The devices were mostly low-cost models produced by the following manufacturers: Allview, BLU, Dcode, DOOGEE, Gigaset, Gionee, Lava, and Ulefone. The list did not include Alldocube devices, despite Kaspersky reportedly observing Keenadu affect that manufacturer as well.

Seems mostly OK when moved manually.

But anyway, I’ll need to source some appropriate lube. My printer’s scanner could also use some of it. I’ll have to research what lubricants there are. It needs to be safe for plastic.

I don’t know how to test that, but it works fine with pressed CDs. Well, only up to some speed.

It’s just that if I re-apply, they’ll treat me as a new student all over again (and as such they only allow admission into the first year). Their own courses don’t get any special treatment, aside from not requiring me to also send them syllabi for those.

This means failing in the 3rd year would be a disaster as I’d have to do the entire 3 years all over again. Or go to a different college. There’s basically one for people who failed the college I went to (many such cases).

Anyway, to sum it up:

• For students during the current study, anything above F is accepted, whether you were previously kicked out or not.
• From any previous studies, only A and B are accepted.

Your prior 1st school credits (below As and Bs) will still be at 1st school so you won’t have to worry about them being accepted as transfer credits because you’d not be transferring them in from outside as the those low grade credits are already inside.

That is what my post was about. The people at study department at 1st school told me they won’t accept grades below B, including what I already earned at 1st school. They just won’t count when I go there again, it’s treated the same as transfer.
In case of 2nd school, basically any other college would most likely accept any lower passing grades.

Any chance you have enough IT experience to get a junior role so you can at least be growing in your field while you’re out of school?

That would be no, unfortunately.

different courses

The point is, they won’t even accept the courses I already passed (which are all below B except for English), because this rule is just applied universally. So it would be easier to re-take what I had until now since I already know something.
In this case, idea 2 would probably make more sense since I also know the instructors tend to give out the same assignments between different years.

Unless you meant to attend an easier college with the required courses.
But also it is too late. The only colleges taking students at this time of year are ones that have to do 2nd rounds due to low numbers, which very much is nothing IT-related.

Anyway, bigger issue is I’d have to pay for 2 extra years (they also don’t allow admission into a higher year).

every other school your original school accepts transfer credits from

That one is also funny. There’s no official list. The only requirement is A/B grade. If that is met, I can send a request to have those results accepted along with the courses’ syllabi, and then I’ll see based on their response.

Who downvoted you?

Anyway, if you have directory-based music organization, Navidrome won’t take that sadly. However, it will take m3u playlists.

So I can just ls playlistdir/* > Playlist.m3u and get that directory as a playlist. Simple, lazy solution.
Oh, you can also add internet radios to Navidrome.

And one cool trick, which is also pretty good to test out Navidrome without effort, in Termux it is already in the repos, so you can just effort-free apt install navidrome, run it and play around.
