Why do websites even use APIs instead of just providing database dumps via download or torrent? Wouldn't that save tons of bandwidth and server costs? Are they afraid people will "steal" their data or what? I'm not talking about data that changes regularly btw.
>>102464805I'm wondering
>>102464805>>102465088the usage of an API is not limited to file transfer only. An APIs creates an abstraction over the data base itself so that things like managing authentication and authorization of users, encrypting your password while trying to log in so that a sniffer within the network can't grab it, provide an endpoint so that things could be device indepedent, allow some 3rd party functionality to be performed over the database and a lot more could be achieved.Using torrents instead of a http for a web application is never a valid choice as a torrent runs on top of a peer-to-peer architecture, meaning the web site needs to be viewed by someone else(the same for http where a website is served by a web server) for you to be able to view it which makes the latency very uncertain because nobody knows the location of the other peer. It is only a feasible choice if a web site is totally static. For a web application that needs business logic to be present within the web site, torrents are a very poor choice of tool for performing stuff like user authentication and authorization.

>>102464805how API comes at the expense of providing downloadable filesdo you understand what API is?

>>102466193nta but what else would you recommend?
Like once a year.I run an air filter in my room 24/7 and replace the filter every 6 months.

Why is installing a wired security camera system so hard? Should I just opt for a wireless system?
>>102467152>mediabox>6 optional ethernet portsI'm not sure but I'm not talking about the ISP modem or something and in general I heavily prefer NVRs where the PoE ports are on the NVR itself so you hook up the camera directly to the NVR.>drillingtrue, but the upside is that once that is done, you're set up for the long run when you replace/upgrade in 10 years. The reliability of wired PoE over WiFi (god forbid battery powered) shitcams will be night and day. I did it in my previous house myself, but I'll probably ask a sparky to assist with the most risky parts next time. It'll cost a couple hundred but peace of mind is worth something.
>>102467245> PoE ports are on the NVR itself so you hook up the camera directly to the NVRI’m just thinking about connecting the cams to the NVR PoE and connect that NVR to one of the many Ethernet ports around my home. The Ethernet ports are connect to a non-PoE switch that’s connected to my router. So it should go something like this.Cams > NVR > Ethernet ports > Switch > RouterI definitely would rather have a wired security system rather than a battery or solar powered system due to the advantages of not worrying about replacement, disconnections, not getting enough sunlight, etc. All my search has practically led me to getting a wired security system but the drilling part is what throws me off. Plus, I heard like 6 or 7 gunshots the other night so it might be good to set this thing up quickly just in case
>>102467344>connecting the cams to the NVR PoE and connect that NVR to one of the many Ethernet ports around my homeyeah that sounds mint. Like I said I understand your concern for drilling, it is valid. my reply would be that having a sparky drill those holes for you is well worth the cost.>I heard like 6 or 7 gunshots the other nightYeah cameras gave me good peace of mind against people snooping around my house when I still lived in a shithole. They can have a reenaction of the battle for midway down the street for all I care but mf'ers in my yard put me on edgehikvision make some great cameras with colorview in low light or actually useable b/w image in pitch darkness. they are not cheap though.
>>102467488> sparky drill those holes for you is well worth the costLooks kind of expensive so I might think about renting them from my local hardware store instead. I would definitely want to get a wired security system but the next challenge would be to tell my dad what I’m going to do to the house. He gets pretty grumpy when I do home improvement projects but always turns out happy when I’m done and it works which has been every time. I thought ai lived in a safe neighborhood and it seemed like that at first but maybe not. I even checked out the “crimes near me” website and everything seemed fine. Only thing I’ve had to worry about are the random cats getting into my backyard but that’s all
>>102467548>I even checked out the “crimes near me” website and everything seemed finesounds exactly what a prime target wojld say. Might as well start researching cryptic house robber signs now.
the competency crisis is becoming to much now. every single thing is dog shit now. made by literal mouth breathing retards who don't know what they're doing. every website is dog shit. every web service is dog shit. I'm one of the last few super geniuses left.
>>102465168I'll show you all and then we'll see who's yawning
>>102465134You're confused. You think there is a competency crisis because you still think these people share your values and motives.They don't. They see you as cattle. They are doing it on purpose.
>>102465304the demand on everyone to specialize in everything is driven by the misconception that one professional doing everything is cheaper than having a few specialists on handin reality the expensive professional is pigeonholed into doing the cheapest work and nothing gets donethe end result is an engineer's salary for a secretary's work and no engineering being done
>big corporations discover that once they're big enough they can produce absolute shit and captive costumers will keep giving them money>thus big corporations proceed to produce the cheapest shit they can to maximize their profit margin>beardy economists literally predicted that this would inevitably happen and wrote lengthy books with the changes that would be necessary to avoid it>said books are not only completely ignored, big corporations manage to convince everyone that nobody needs to read them because they're actually about how transvestites should be considered real women and other completely unrelated shit>to the surprise of literally nobody, everything becomes shit>"everything is le bad because m-muh competency crisis! poor billionaires want to give us good things but people are too stupid to produce them :("At least it's partially right.

I have already nailed the phone interview. The job looks great. High pay and crazy benefits. I'm a very anxious person, literally diagnosed with multiple disorders. Can you guys give me any tips for the interview? The IT Manager seems really cool. He said in the next level of technical interview that he wants me to explain what I would use as if I were an independent/freelance network engineer. I'm studying but freaking out a bit. Anyone have tips on how I can nail this? I really want and need this job. I come from a MSP background btw. Thanks bros. >Pray for me please>I'm drinking a little to try and chill because I am so neurotic right now>My woman is making me dinner and stuff>It's late but I have time left before I need to try to sleep

>>102466552VLANs take a switch and separate them out into separate broadcast domains. It's why you can have different DHCP servers on different VLANs for instance.
how the fuck are you getting an interview for a network engineer but have ANY issue understanding how VLANs workthat's the most uncomplicated, basic thing in the whole fieldput "i don't understand VLANs" on your resume so you don't ever get another interview and die hungry, please
heh wagies
>>102467045I should have clarified more. I know what a fucking VLAN is. I have troubleshot them before. I have not had to setup from scratch an elaborate system of VLANs. Fuck the haters. You all just gave me the energy for my spirit bomb to nail this. So many people here are just looking to shit on people. It's a shame. Cool people here but the assholes are worse than the worst boards here. I'm done for the night. I'm going to go get a blowjob, sleep, and nail my interview.
