  • Chat GPT4 says:

    It’s wise to consult a lawyer for matters involving intellectual property (IP) rights, particularly when entering into an employment agreement that may affect ownership of your ideas. Here are some key concepts and steps you might consider:

    1. Intellectual Property (IP) Assignment: This typically refers to a clause in employment contracts where an employee agrees to transfer the rights of creations related to the job to the employer. Understanding the scope of this clause is crucial.

    2. Pre-existing Works: You should document and list any pre-existing ideas or projects you have developed before joining the company. These should be explicitly excluded from the IP assignment in your contract.

    3. Scope of Work: Clarify with the employer the fields or subjects the IP assignment covers. If your ideas are outside this scope, they may not fall under the company’s IP claim.

    4. Invention Assignment Agreements: These are common in tech and creative industries and usually require employees to disclose any inventions made during their employment. Distinguishing between work-related and personal projects is essential here.

    5. Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs): These could also play a role in how your ideas are protected or disclosed.

    6. Document Everything: Keep detailed records of your ideas, the development process, and the dates. This could be vital if there’s ever a dispute about when and where the IP was created.

    7. Future Ventures: If you plan to develop your ideas into products in the future, consider forming a legal entity (like an LLC) and assigning your IP to that entity.

    8. Terms to Research: Look into “work made for hire,” “non-compete clauses,” “trade secrets,” and “non-disclosure agreements.”

    Remember, the laws can vary significantly by jurisdiction, and the specifics of your situation can change the advice significantly, so professional legal counsel is always recommended.



  • I just need someone to implement dragging tags out immediately into windows, with my tiling window manager (fancyzones) I have to pull out the Firefox tab, let go so it’ll spawn the actual window, the drag it again to where I want it.

    I tried getting into the weeds of the code, but there’s a lot there, it’s buried behind like 2/3 other standing issues that no one is working on…. For like 10 years

    Edit: excuse me, 14 years




  • For project ideas, I think most of us start with a problem and learn how to solve it. But without some foundational knowledge, you may struggle to even realize what’s a solvable problem.

    You should maybe start with something like Linus Tech Tips “techquickie” content. Look at tutorials for home servers and home labs.

    Or just spin around with your eyes closed, and point at a random tech object in your home, then start searching for info on how that works. How you can customize it, fix it, break it, make your own.

    Not sure how else to help you jumpstart what many of us have just been naturally doing our whole lives. Like… be curious. That’s the key actually. Curiosity.



  • I got an intel 12100 running the server, its a solid efficiency chip and allows me to also transcode as necessary. Also, I’ve got a bunch of drives totally up to 24TB right now, I’m sure I could find a way to connect that to a Pi, but my build is efficient enough for me, especially with the price of power in the US. The price isnt super clear from the bill from our apartment, but the local rates are around $.16 / kwh

    As for Tabletop Sim, I realy do need to give that one a shot. I think I even already bought it, just haven’t played.






  • Let’s see, I got adhd and up until well… next month when I get my first post-college paycheck… been pretty limited on funding. With that in mind

    • home automation
    • home server w automated media acquisition, and a random assortment of other services
    • Fixing things, started out of need to save money… but now I just enjoy doing it. From phones to cars, and soon clothes (just got a sewing machine)
    • Scripting/automating random tasks, like clipping all the digital coupons for my grocery store. Or auto booking vaccines back when they weren’t so easy to get.
    • I like a good sounding audio system / headphones… but idk if my small collection really constitutes a hobby.
    • wife’s got me birding a bit, she’s way more excited about it than I, but I always at least enjoy the walks, and occasionally see something neat.
    • oh yeah, photography, mostly to capture moments and places for myself… but I’m venturing into trying to get a bit more artsy to try and convey whatever it was that intrigued me to take the photo to others who weren’t there.
    • board games, but I like the social aspect, and I have a hard time finding people who aren’t like… idk what to call them, but people that seem to be autistic and have board games as a special interest. At least that’s who mostly goes to boardgame meetups around here.
    • I guess I like collecting useful tools, for the above fixing
    • VR intrigues me, and I’m starting a job soon where I’ll get to spend more time working in and developing for VR/AR/XR, and with the money from said job I’ll probably invest in some better home vr gear
    • in college, I really liked being a tech consultant for our student org, learned about and implemented everything from event live-streaming to documentation management systems to web hosting hackathon judging platforms.

    So yeah, idk… a little bit of everything
