Its been an interesting morning
  • I personally always try to engineer away from cloud services. They cost you ridiculous amounts of money and all you need is documentation afterwards. Then it can be easier and faster than AWS or GC

  • OSS media asset management (OC)

    So, ya know when you have a ton of media files, all the photos, videos, design files etc. and your computer turns into a maze, and you can't find the damn exit? After smashing my head on the keyboard enough times attempting to find that one clip, I decided to go DIY and build something myself. That's how WrangleBot was born.

    WrangleBot is this open-source media asset management app I've been beating into shape for a while. I've been living off coffee and enthusiasm trying to make this baby work - and I am all out of coffee. The idea is to give you a hand managing your digital junkyard, so you can find, sort, and use your stuff easier.

    The app's about as tried-and-tested as I can make it, but I need some more real-world guinea pigs to add to our herd of 250. That's where you guys come in. You can download and test it from wranglebot.io. Got an idea to improve it? Cool, I’m all ears. Not to mention, bugs can be not-so-cute sometimes. So, if you stumble upon any, hit me up in our Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/sNC4KT8x

    Oh, and since it's open-source, if you're as crazy about coding as I am, feel free to jump in and contribute. It takes a village to raise an app, right?

    I’m hoping WrangleBot can make your digital life a little less "where's Waldo?", a little more "oh, there he is!"

    That's it from my end folks, eager to hear your thoughts and can't wait to see where this journey takes us.

    Happy Wrangling!

    How do you guys remember the early days of the internet? What do you miss about it?
  • I remember the pre-facebook era, it was about the same as now just less visually appealing. Ads were worse; they were able to redirect people to pay per view (on your phone bill) sites without notice; if you had a windows pc viruses could literally be installed by visiting a website; installing crackz was a gamble of wether you were infecting your pc or actually getting o play a game; downloads took an entire night and a day for an album; albums actually were sold per song; songs cost money; YouTube didn’t exist so TV was god; we called Friends via landline and listend to them to walk down the stairs as their mother held the apparatus in their hand, waiting to be relieved from her duty. That and most of my now bosses made most of their money scamming people and their competitors. It’s much more civilized now - trust me

  • I don't get why big companys are afraid of open source software
  • Can someone rip your work? Yes. Is that really an issue? No. Just stealing the code changes nothing, the person needs to invest money to continue build it themselves. The original developers will always be at an advantage since they know the code base. The fork (the new version) also won’t benefit from any of the changes by the original developers, or they need to carefully copy them over. If the hostile fork is also open source then it doesn’t matter since you can just take their changes if they are good. Making it mutual.

    You can also use licenses that forbid the closing of the source. Doesn’t stop real thief’s, but it gives you a tool to stop it and also anyone who ignores a license like that is also generally not very competent.
