Why would I do that when I can hit super + enter and get a terminal?
Dropdown is tacky.

Whenever I want to play a webm on my phone (Galaxy s7), it won't play - it just shows a small white square with the "close"-button.
Advice?

What's a good backup solution? And I mean a REALLY good one.
I'm currently using OneDrive, I'm even paying for the extra space per month but I think I lost some files now. I will probably never know for sure. There was some weird windows corrupted folder shit, OneDrive crashed every time I wanted to open a folder and I googled around and it told me to run chkdsk. Okay so apparently it deleted the corrupted folders and it's supposed to resync but I was just looking for a .webm i saved and it wasnt there anymore. I then searched with 'Everything' on my PC and found the file in some weird folder like this: D:\found.000\dir0003.chk
I dont care if chkdsk was a mistake but OneDrive apparently has some bug or problem and it deleted this file or treated it as deleted ( no way to tell without a history)
I'm aware that Dropbox has a history like git(?) but I feel like I should be using a different backup solution. Something like a cron job that will sync all files every night to some server and maybe it should keep the last 10 days of all files. Or maybe I should just straight up use git or mercurial for all my files? I mean that should technically work right. I have some large .zip files and executables but I heard about largefile support for mercurial.
I dont really see an issue with this approach, do you?
I just feel like I'm overpaying / overtrusting OneDrive when it clearly isn't perfect and it probably never will be and I dont even get a history. (which I technically dont care about but when you want to find out when a file was deleted, it would be nice to have that searchable)

but i have to add, i think i lost files with git too. Searching the history is a pain in the ass, you basically have to grep a million times with tons of arcane cmds you need to learn first
git is not exactly user friendly, i always have some weird problem where i git add . and then commit and i do that on every change and then a few weeks later suddenly i have multiple files in the repo that i actually once had deleted but they somehow showed up again.
regarding the losing of files: I dont know how it happened, I was SURE that i had a repo and made a commit with those changes but then when i looked for those files a year or two later, it was never there. I have no clue. I suppose it's most likely user error but it doesnt really matter to me why it got fucked, it was my ass

Just buy an external HDD and copy your stuff there.
>>
>>57704594
nah that still sucks, i have some external hdds and they get botchy and error out sometimes, and i never keep them properly up to date because i have to constantly plug them in and out (they make sound too u know) and it's not really a great backup if it's in the same apartement / computer and can vanish / get stolen / hit by lightning at the same time.
also now that i think about it, worst suggestion ever. i have to manually copy that stuff, no partial syncing? no thanks

OK so I've got question for those who actually work here:
Currently I'm working in a somewhat (as far as I know) undefined field, I write scripts and programs for automating software and firmware deployment on hardware along with automated burn-in tests and quality control, pretty much my job is to eliminate any human errors in production.
Along with that I deal with failure analysis (reproduction, troubleshooting, debugging) of hardware-firmware-software issues that our clients encounter and write all sorts of tools for that.
I write all of that usually in either bash or python working 90% of the time in a Linux environment.
Also on the side I deal with hardware integration, some IT work and infrastructure maintenance and deployment for the company (less so the clients)
Now the question is, considering I have no formal education other than high-school, how hard would it be to find a job in about the same line of work and how much would my CV benefit from taking single courses compared to dropping work and studying towards and actual 4 year degree?
I'd love to hear some personal experience on this matter if you guys have any.

If I, while browsing 4chan, hover over an [Embed]ded youtube video, I will see a thumbnail of the video.
Is the thumbnail loaded from 4chan or have I made a connection with google at that point and google knows I hovered over that link?
check this link out. just hover over the [Embed], dont click. see what I mean?

Why the fuck would 4chan thumbnail a youtube video for you?
Dumb cunt.

>>57704239
Most likely.
If you run JS google knows what you see anyway.
And even if you don't, thanks to captcha it still does.
You can run but you can't hide.

Captcha doesn't work anymore with Overchan. I can't post with it. Is someone still working on the project? I didn't see a new version for a while. Same problem with everychan
>inb4 use clover
I'm doing that now, but I want to post to 4x2chan as well and I have some problems with Clover's UI (ex. the writing for posts is too much little, I like being able to read my walls of text without scrolling for two hours) .

feeling friendly today, here's some basic tips:
>interviewers always ask a set of really common questions, prepare for those
>research the company you're applying to, prepare to ask questions
>have multiple copies of your resume handy
>if doing software dev, be prepared to show them your projects on github
>actually have some projects you can show off
>some places also care about hackerrank
>read cracking the coding interview, but also be prepared for places that don't use it.
>understand your body language and try not to sperg out

>>57704298
I have a hard time determining what to put on github.
Should I put class projects? I forget about those as soon as i do them, if they ask me what I did 10 weeks ago on a project I honestly probably wouldn't remember.
Should I put my toy problems I write up on there? I implement mathematical code to solve certain problems.
Should I put my side projects on there? Usually those get the jobs done but the code could be optimized
Not sure what to add to my githb

Cram everything 1 week before exams
Yes, BAE Systems, pretty chill, just 2 interviews with a presentation on a complex problem in the last one, then I managed to turn the rest of it into a general chat about technical stuff which I really enjoyed and so did the people interviewing me so I got the job

Is there any way to get XBL gold membership gift card codes for free? If they have those scratch-off things on the backs, would it be plausible to go to a corner store and scratch one off real fast, take a picture of the code, and go and use it?

1) You're retarded to think /g/ is the place for that
2) The codes have to be activated by the kiosk before they can be used, so no, that stupid fucking idea won't work even if you find a special little corner of the store where nobody will see you vanish with one and reappear without it
