I've had the best luck with Moonlight (OSS client) and Sunshine (OSS server replacement for GeForce Experience's "GameStream") -- very minimal latency (almost completely undetectable) from my RTX 3090 PC to my Nvidia Shield.

This is my current setup as well. While on the subject of Raspberry Pi 5, if you are using RPi5 with Raspbian as a Moonlight client and want to capture window manager shortcuts like `alt+tab` but unable to do so, Wayland is the problem. I'm trying to put this knowledge out their in the hopes of a search engine indexing it.

I read it all through. Yes, there are no words. But seeing "Sign up for more like this." form at the end was so confusing.

Last checkin four years ago and README says „looking for a new maintainer“. Is this abandonware?

Funny to me that how #FF0000 is named Red, #0000FF is named Blue, but #00FF00 is Lime. Maybe it was supposed to be RLB. Although Green is the canonical name for that color range, what we actually refer as Green in daily life is close to #008000.

My timeline has been full of cryptic messages from Twitter employees for the last hour. It doesn't look good. These people are some of the best engineers I've gotten to know.

h4l0 commented on Atlassian fired me while I was taking care of my wife who is fighting cancer shitlassian.com/... · Posted by u/mparnisari

While I'm sure there are some legitimate grievances here, nothing about this makes the author look credible in any way. Personally, none of the claims made here seem to stand up to scrutiny.

He claims that Atlassian has illegal hiring practices because of one instance where they passed on the first candidate that just cleared the technical bar? Or that unlimited PTO is a scam because his manager had to approve time off requests (completely standard practice - unlimited PTO or not)? Sorry, my pitchfork is staying put.

Disclaimer; I work at Atlassian as a Software Engineer.

First of all, he has this weird take at the very beginning

> Interesting fact 1: Atlassian is the only company that has words "sh*" and "f*" in their core values.

Those values are "Don't f*

the customer" and "Open company no bulls**" (oh the irony). This 'take' immediately threw me off. Why would you even mention something this trivial? I'll give it a pass as his emotions were probably elevated.

> After being in the company for more than a year I had found that folks with children are less likely to get a promotion. I had no evidence, it was a feeling.

Most of the folks I've seen got promoted had children. Having no evidence to support your claim in an article like this (with a banger title) is a red flag to me.

PTO is unfortunately something that I'm unfamiliar with. The country that I live in prohibits unlimited PTO by law, so I've never had that experience. Although, using the PTO that I acquire is still subject to approval of my manager. That part of the story is what the author should have really focused on. Going after the whole company in such a vicious manner is not a good look in my opinion.

I agree with most of the top comments here. Stay low, get a lawyer, deal with this silently. Hope his wife has a fast and easy recovery. Tough times, tough challenges for the author personally. No matter how hard I try, I certainly wouldn't be able to fully empathize with him.

The Dodo is one of the few that feels legitimate to me. Most of their videos are just of animals that live with rehabilitators. I don't think I've seen any videos from them of animals in dangerous situations being "rescued". (If anyone knows anything to the contrary please share though.)

h4l0 · 4 years ago

I agree with you. Most of their stories usually span a year or two, meaning that they cannot be fabricated. The Dodo is way more legitimate than anything discussed in the article.

PaymoneyWubby made a video about this like 2 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mvVQCl8fIg . Nothing has changed since then. People will keep buying into this until platforms intervene.

You can even open the website recursively within its own "Safari" window. The recursion depth seems to be limited to one though. Nice easter egg nonetheless.

Edit: It's possible to bypass the recursion limit. First open the "Blog" bookmark on the Safari start page. Use Inspect Element on the "portfolio" link at the top right, and remove

    target="_blank"

from the HTML. Open the portfolio and enjoy infinite recursion.

I didn't experience a recursion limit when I just tried it. Maybe the site was updated after your comment? I'm using Firefox.
