Everything!

As a Hongkonger, we have a concept called “living with your parents” that westerners may not understand. ;)

Our conversations can range from where we’re going for lunch to what to do with my parents after they die.

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! https://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.

It doesn’t have file sync, but it has WebDAV. You can mount the server as a drive. There is an account and sharing system.

Crazy that I rewatched The Mandela Magazine last night and this post shows up next morning.

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.

That’s just an average Hongkonger message lol

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

What would localhost in IPoAC be?

I’m in my 4th undergrad year of majoring CS, and I have never had to use Windows once.

All courses that require their special programs have Linux versions or are cross-platform due to them using languages like Java, like LogicSim, RISC-V, Ocaml, SQL Workbench, etc. Some courses even exclusively use Linux.

The closest thing I have to use Windows for would be .docx documents, but even that is handled by LibreOffice.

Of course, it depends on the institute.

sad ffmpeg noises

Good brag👍

Hong Kong. I live there. There are a few of us here and there, but outside of the c/hongkong I’ve seen like 2.

Ayyy fellow Canto speaker on the same boat

I don’t really watch anime but I want to read Japanese text. I’m currently 2 months in following the Tofugu guide. I spent about a week on memorizing Hiragana and Katakana, and have been grinding Kanjis and vocabularies on Anki since then. At some point I also read the Japanese sentence structure guide from 8020japanese out of curiosity. This combination allows me to learn Japanese much faster at my own rate than pre-designed methods like Duolingo.

Since I’m a native Cantonese speaker, learning Kanji is rather trivial, so I mostly spend my time learning both Onyomi (Chinese pronunciation) and Kunyomi (Japanese pronunciation).

I am at a point where I can read some simple sentences and guess some words base on Kanji (for example はじめる means “start” on my Japanese Wii), but I definitely still have a long way to go before I can do anything fluent. If you watch a decent amount of anime, chances are you can probably learn faster than me.

CurseForge shares a slice of their ad revenue with creators, so getting money simply depends on how many people visited your page. Even if a mod is unpopular, you still get a minuscule amount of money.

I should mention that you get paid in “points”, and these points can be used to redeem money. For example, every 100 points = 5 USD.

I wrote some Minecraft mods and uploaded them to CurseForge. I still get about 5 USD every week. It used to be every 3 to 4 days but I seldomly upload new stuff now. For reference, my projects have 1.6M total downloads combined, 2k weekly.

It’s nowhere near enough for sustaining life, but it’s like pocket money for me to buy games and renew my domain.

Smart fridges don’t even improve storing food.

I won’t buy a smart fridge until they can play Tetris with the food inside.
