I don't think AI changes that balance all that dramatically. Any business that won't hire juniors now, wouldn't have hired them before, and simply had the "Must have 20+ years experience in [flavour of the month] framework" in their job ads.

And experience from past jobs hasn't really counted for anything beyond "They werent stupid enough to get fired", so paying for experience doesn't make sense either.

All that said, regardless of who has the better crystal ball, its a shit time to be a compsci grad...

There are nicer ways to say that.

The hosted nextcloud solutions are not cheap. The base plan for librebit is 79EUR per month. After 3 months you've paid off a mini PC.

Yes, its more work, and a huge learning curve, but if the goal is to save money, paying 79EUR per month is insane, unless you need the SLA.

I agree that self hosting may not be the right path for OP, but there are valid tangible reasons to do it beyond "self hosting is fun".

You only need your PC on when others are using the spreadsheet.

Keep an eye out for mini PCs on second hand market places, they can be found for a couple hundred dollars or less, and are perfect for running something like this 24/7. Youll want a fairly decent internet connection though.

You can get free VMs on oracle cloud. Yes, Oracle are a bunch of cunts, but free is free, and you can get a free ARM VM with plenty of RAM that should be adequate for nextcloud.

Make sure you setup https properly.

This annoys me as well. And its not just AUR either, I hit this with pi.dev plugins, which are in NPM:

Look how many duplicates there are, just because one person mildly changed am existing one, and never contributed back instead.

People are publishing their slop projects as if they intend on maintaining them, but they clearly aren't capable or willing to actually maintain them.

It was filmed for TV 20 years ago, it would have been NTSC, which is 720x480. HD for TV came a bit later.

Doesnt help you with your problem though :(

Did it end up blazingly fast? :D

Doing a port as your first rust project is a brutal was to start, and im guessing will result in some pretty sketchy rust code. Good luck though :)

Just repeating an arguement I have seen:

There are always troublemakers, especially so at gay bars. An automated ID system allows for instantly detecting and ejecting them. Without the automated system, you have to get all of the bouncers across all of the bars to somehow share ID of the bad actors, which is hard, so people can slip through.

Whether that justifys risking leaking the identities of all of the legit patrons, I dunno, but clearly some of the bars thought so...
