I pay for Bitwarden premium and the big thing for me is the ability to use it for 2FA/TOTP right from the browser extension (for sites where I feel convenience mostly trumps hardened security). It’s glorious that Bitwarden autofills username and password, and then auto-copies the current 2FA code to your clipboard so you can just paste it immediately, instead of needing to pull up your phone and authenticator app to fetch a code, or check your email/texts for a code.

As someone else already said, don’t overthink the language choice aspect in general. If you learn almost any imperative language with C-like syntax (Go, JS/TS, C#, Java etc), picking up another one in the same “family” to a usable degree will be a very minor hiccup done within a very short time (hours). Sure, there are quirks and special syntax and different collections of built-in features for each one, but as a developer you will likely switch between several anyway and need to look up syntax from time to time - you know that something can be done, but the details how are a bit fuzzy.

For instance, I code mostly in C# and JS/TS, but we have legacy applications written in VB.NET so I often google VB syntax for things that I know how to write in C#. I also occasionally code in C, have dabbled in Fortran, Python and PHP and I’m sure I’m forgetting one or two. SQL and LINQ syntax too of course. What you learn on your developer journey is that something can be done, but remembering the specific implementation in a specific language might be a job better suited for your search engine. That said, of course it’s good to start with one language that you know pretty well, but it seems like you’re already there with Python.

The real challenge is learning the methodology of building applications, philosophy of OOP, patterns and program/application architecture and frameworks. Language choice is very much secondary to those areas of expertise imo.

Personally though, I am partial to JS/TS as I’ve used those the longest, they are extremely versatile and frontend development is my favorite area.

Very little (and long ago). We usually use a frontend stack of Angular and PrimeNG for our projects.

I’m honestly not necessarily a BEM fan as class names become literally huge if you don’t rely a bit on nested elements (targeting nested classes is not very BEMmy - but SASS makes it so convenient). But haven’t found a naming convention or “framework” that does the job better. BEM also doesn’t address how you should organize the style library for maintainability. I just use my own simplified structure based on ITCSS now.

I just wish that someone could make a methodology or an architecture of building style libraries that felt obvious and was more plug-and-play, I hate that I feel like have to revisit the style library organization and naming convention for each new project to reevaluate if it makes sense for the scope of the project.

Then again, I work as a fullstack dev in a small team of more backend-focused fullstack devs, so I don’t do frontend as often as I’d like and don’t really have anyone to discuss these issues with.

When you figure out how to set up Caddy, please send me a PM… I’ve tried and given up, but probably managed to misconfigure or misunderstand something.

For outside access I use Ngrok so I don’t have to bother with router settings. Probably isn’t recommended, but it was easy to set up and has worked flawlessly for me for years.

Lol I hear ya 😅 But great that you got it to work for your setup. Best of luck with your projects!

If I understand correctly (and I’m not 100% sure I do), localhost in a Docker container lives in it’s own little network which is not the host’s network.

The container is its own localhost, which has its own ports (which is why you have to map an internal localhost port to a host PC localhost port for every container you wish to access). This means that Prowlarr in your case, has no idea what localhost:4666 should be since in Prowlarr’s localhost universe there exists nothing on that port. To access what the host knows of ports (instead of the container), you have to write the host’s address from inside the Prowlarr container.

I hope that wasn’t impossible to follow 😅

Now that I think about it (haven’t tried myself though) you could possibly add the mapping of port 4666:4666 to the Prowlarr Docker compose setup and then use localhost:4666 to access qBittorrent from inside Prowlarr.

Try with the local network IP of the host PC/VM instead (192.168.x.x), you have to use that for most applications. Remember that localhost/127.0.0.1 means something different inside a Docker container than it does outside it…

I don’t remember exactly, but it used to be that you could only stream to mobile devices if you had Plex Pass (I mean, you could just use the mobile browser instead but that is ofc less convenient). Another perk with Plex Pass is that you could download content from the server to watch offline on your device, for example if you’re going traveling. Possibly the built-in subtitle downloader is also a Pass/premium feature.

But otherwise I don’t think it’s necessary. Try it out, all the basic features are available in the free version and spinning it up is super easy. If you decide you like it you can just purchase a lifetime Plex Pass.

No no.

Them: I have this issue with my computer printer …

Yes, and I answered that I think there are more factors, but that tax burden is a big reason?

An American company which has 100 employees located in America and 2 employees located in Europe will have a smaller total tax burden as a company, than a European company with 102 employees located in Europe. Same number of employees, very different bottom line tax burden. The American-based company can thus afford to pay their few European employees more, to outcompete European companies on salary on the labor market.

I couldn’t tell you why individual American companies in Europe pay more, but I’m guessing a big part of it is the difference in tax burden for companies based in Europe vs America. American companies have the majority of their employees in the US, and for these employees they pay much less into the system than Europe based countries so are able to pay more for a few European employees.

For example, payroll taxes/social fees (the fees and taxes your employer pays on your behalf) and corporate taxes are much higher in North Europe than in the US. Sales tax/VAT is higher in Europe and, while it’s technically paid by customers, companies have to take the sales tax surcharge into account when setting the prices for their goods and services to be competitive on a global market. That means they can’t afford astronomical salaries.

You’re replying in an antagonistic tone to anyone trying to answer your questions in good faith. You don’t see the value in paying for a welfare system or income redistribution for the betterment of society as a whole, but many people do. Most of us want to not live in a dystopian nightmare where there are haves and have-nots depending on luck or misfortune. Not saying that the US is quite there, but there is a lot less of a societal buffer between you and total destitution after an adverse event there.

This is the reason why US employers have to pay more, they have to offer more due to the bigger inherent risk to every employee on a life basis (at-will employment, you’re responsible for your own 401k and health insurance and education and transportation and remaining healthy and capable enough to work your whole life). If you can’t be sure of your future source of income, you have to charge your employer more. This is also why consultants are paid better in Europe than direct employees, because consultants take a bigger risk.
