Non related question: there are some examples of good public APIs docs? I would like to develop a product that serves an API but it’s very hard to get a great API as template.

Stripe public api docs are quite good IMO

Not sure if AutoHotKey is the tool for this, but, I am looking for a functionality such that, when I get a ping from MS Teams (say), I want some other system in my home network to notify me of it - perhaps a notification in my android phone?

Anyway we can achieve this?

Doesn’t ms teams have API? I have elgato stream deck and it talks to the local client via official client API.

Everyone puts off estate planning in general for obvious reasons (most people don’t want to think about their own mortality) all the more so, most don’t give a thought to digital estate planning, it’s especially hard because there are very few resources to do it and most apps/websites don’t have that workflow planned out (Afaik, really only Facebook does anything for this).

My wife and I share a password manager account so theoretically she should have access to every site I use, but will she know where to go? Will she have any clue how to maintain our local self hosted services? Let alone the hardware?

I’ve walked her through restarting the esxi server and ssh’ing into the main docker server to restart it, but I haven’t documented any of this anywhere for her…

I scrapped my self built server that runs snowflake TrueNAS with zfs doodads and replaced it with simple synology. It has mostly default settings with no encryption.

My wife has no idea about tech and I want it to be easy for her to access our digitised family media and documents, once I no longer around. Any tech literate people/shop can figure out how to pull data out of synology.

(A bit off-topic, but to give another example of where convoluted hiring processes get you to...)

Last year, I did 8 interviews (including 4 technical assessments and quizzes) to get an offer from AMD (in Germany) as a software engineer. For completeness, they reached out to me. I wasn't really looking at the time.

When I got the offer, salary+bonus was less than what I had at the time (a lot less now) living in a similar cost place, so I rejected the offer, obviously.

In the final call, the HR person implied more than once that I was a time-waster for going through the whole process just to get the offer and then say "no" to it, that I wasn't "committed" as I said...

Did you agree to 8 rounds of interview, without knowing if there is a match between your salary expectation and their salary range?

You can get into the iPhone or Android and copy the SQLite database to your computer.

The images can be tricky - some form of reference to the image in your phone, hard to put together; otherwise the messages in all the chats are in the database, navigable by a SQLite client.

Speaking from personal experience porting messages from iPhone to Android.

The backup is encrypted. The private key can be extracted if your android device is rooted.
