FAT32 · November 2024

Sometimes looking back old photos make me feel sad that those are the good times that I can never go back...

Would be fantastic if there's time machine in this world. Even if I cannot change anything at least it allows me to enjoy the moment, again.

Just an announcement about the Chef prepping and being ready to make his appearance and the thread will be on :fire:. All lurkers will come in support as well.

BTW, any users who are gonna be trying a VPS for the first time in their life? Guess many who are already on LET are mid-advanced users, but, still, any first timers?

What's funny is when I bought my first VPS, I had no problems since in school, I used Linux VMs. My assembly class we where require to code and test in Linux. All programs had to work on Linux in that class.

You are lucky. I wish I had that kinda exposure to hardware and Unix-based OSes in school itself.

Not my first class we had to use Linux. Had a few others. When getting my bachelor's we where given an Amazon VPS with a GPU and Windows on it, to run Jupiter notebook and create AI.
For my full stack development we used Amazon S3, DynamoDB, and I forgot what else to create a website that you could post comments on.
Also learned Android develoment as well. Created a database app that actually hashed passwords and used your phone to send a text when inventory was low.

That is awesome. But, you'd agree that having exposure to this in the early years of your life did have a huge impact on how you dealt with COmputery stuff later on in life, right?

Everything had an impact. Not every class had a huge impact. For example I learned docker and school, and never stopped after that one class. Still use it today.

You were taught Docker in school as well? That is awesome. I still know Engg. students here who have taken up Python but learn it enough to pass the exam. A majority of them don't even have had access to Python IDE yet.

Come on, I know some Computer Science Engineering passed out students, who doesn't even know basics of computer.

That's the issue. It causes two major issues. Most Engineers in India aren't job-ready when they pass out. The companies have to train them, losing time.

Sad but true.

Beautiful is the contrast! I, on the contrary, would give anything to go back into the past and change it for the better. It's true that your past chases your future.

The problem is there's just too many issues with being able to change the past. So while I might not be able to change it I would really hope to enjoy it again. Things and people changed so fast and all that's left for me sometimes is just the memories.

noob404 · November 2024

That brings me to a quote I read almost a decade ago. It was along these lines - "We always complain about being forgetful, but, it's only when we want to erase a bad memory do we realise how good our memory is."

No matter how bad we try to overcome the contentious events in our past, they do have a catching up and bringing you down when you are at your lowest. I know there's only way out - embrace the darkness that it brings. Spending time on this thread is only a temporary refuge, Ik, but, a temporary refuge is all my brain is look for, rn.

FAT32 · November 2024

Sometimes I wish there's something that can store my memories, and I can replay it again whenever needed

So true. I wish I could streamline my thought process to function as yours. But, no matter how hard I try, a single small trigger is all it takes to throw me back to square one.

punch cards ?

What are those?

Found out -

A punched card (also punch card or punched-card) is a piece of card stock that stores digital data using punched holes. Punched cards were once common in data processing and the control of automated machines.

Exactly. They were used to write assembly language code. Each card was a command or data. A program was made by punching cards, normally kept in a box in the order they should be run, and feeding them into a mini/main frame computer such as a HP3000. One trick was to draw a line on the top edge of the cards so that you knew which way to put them back in the box. Also was helpful if you dropped the box on the way to the card reader. Those were the days when men were men and programmers had muscles from lugging those boxes around. I don't miss it one bit.

JK. I know exactly what you mean. Youa re not talking about the physical objects, you are talking about storing the memories, the feelings, the exhilaration combined with a sense of worry that accompanied the moment you held your first born, or got married. You are talking about feeling them again.
Unfortunately, you can't! But, having felt them atleast once in your life, you are a successful human being.

Man, I know it's extremely temporary. But, it does feel good to vent out my feelings and frustration from time to time. Don't trust anyone in RL right now to hear my problems and reciprocate. This is the closest I have to therapy. Thank you guys.

2nd. I highly recommend everyone take one for computer science. While I dont like ASM. It's still very helpful to understand what your programs become with most compilers.

I wanted to and I even bought a book 15 years back. Never opened it.

Tbh not everyone will like it. In fact it's really hard and takes so much time to actually create stuff. If you want to reverse engineer stuff, than you need to really learn it. You can still be a good programmer without it. Furthest we went was create a program that took in x user input of numbers. Print out the order they gave, than print it out sorted.

Yup, reverse engineering is the reason i wanted to learn at that time. I had the subject in my Engineering, and had a lab as well. But only read for exams.

I wanted to do reverse engineering, but taking an ASM class, yeah, was like nvm... One class elective was reverse engineering. Could of had a whole class to it. I said nah

Schools I went to, associate I could see this. Bachelor, probably not. The bachelor degree had alot of classes that tested if you knew wtf was going on. Even had to comment code. One class was 3D rendering/programming in C++

Well this is why I have so much storage despite my actual archive collection is much less than that. Ever since I broke my MicroSD more than 10 years ago where I lost some of my data, I have been very very paranoid on data loss.

Money is replaceable but memories are not. Photos and videos are the closest thing to "memory archival" and it is basically snapshots of memories. I treasure every single memory that I have made with friends and families and those are irreplaceable.

Some of my friends are very surprised that I can still remember the things they gifted me during my birthday more than 10 years ago, but the truth is I am just that sentimental. I can't remember a lot of things about myself but there's always some memories that I made with the important people in my life that I will never forgot.

Things I learned that was required classes. ASM, Java, python, C++, (I don't remember if database structures was), calc 2, AWS, sorting algorithms/make them by scratch (quick sort and merge the biggest ones), programming structures (so linked list and hashset and make them by scratch), digital electronics class had use program ASM on micro controllers that had 255 bytes max to use, same class had creating schematics with and gates, or gates in a program that actually simulated the flow. forgot what else was required.

Just got my deal order#2799824020
I’ll take that double bandwidth lol

FAT32 · November 2024

Either way, ya that's probably something that caused me to not able to move forward too much. Sometimes I envy the people who don't put in too much emotional on stuff, but at certain time I am still glad to have all the good and bad memories that made me who I am today.

Just some random rant here because not a lot of people understand what it meant to me to have all those memories, and it is just me not willing to let go of the past.

(Ok enough of the spam, let me focus on BF preparation...)

You are wise beyond your years my friend.

At my age I'm just glad to wake up every morning and still be able to go do something, anything. The most mundane tasks are beautiful experiences for me. I see so much more beauty in the natural world around me than I ever did when I was young. Same with people. People can be so beautiful once they no longer feel like they are being judged. If you can make people feel comfortable enough to really open up most times there are some really amazing things inside. The world is a wonderful place. Unfortunately many of us don't see what is all around us. I know I made that mistake for a long time until I wised up a bit.

True. There were no videos and pics of my childhood. I really miss it. I want to give my kids their childhod memories when they grow up. So I started to store most of their sweet memories with us. I have Tera Bytes of external hard drives with their pics and videos.

I removed RAID on one of my NAS drive, just to get double storage. My big mistake. One Red drive got damaged. Lost some of the precious data. Thats when I started storing everything on two drives. And most important pics on cloud.
