Passive earning: PacketShare

2025.01.27 19:32 Determinaator Passive earning: PacketShare

Payment proof
Guide for PacketShare that goes more in-depth
PacketShare is a relatively new bandwidth sharing application that allows you to earn passive income by selling a part of your internet connection. Works pretty much the same way as all the other such apps in this space, simply sign up, download the application and let it run in the background (naturally constant internet access is required in order for the internet data to be shared)
You earn $0.20/GB (all countries) and you can use as many devices as you want provided that they have a unique IP address attached to them. Withdrawals start from $20 via PayPal.
NOTE: Payments take like forever to be processed (usually on Fridays + additional 5-10 business days), so if you are looking for something that pays out a bit more quickly it's not something I would necessarily recommend.
📧 Sign-up options: Email, Google
🖥️ Devices: Windows, Android, CLI, Docker, iOS
🌍 Countries: Worldwide, potential earnings will depend on traffic demand in your particular area

2025.01.27 19:32 gpropelm Контрольори от ЦГМ взимат евро от чужденци

Здравейте,
Преди минути станах свидетел на потенциално неправомерно поведение от страна на четирима длъжностни лица от ЦГМ които глобяваха четирима пътници от Испания. Забелязах, че в ръцете им имаше валута (банкноти от 20 евро), а при задаване на въпрос относно легитимността на плащанията, те заявиха, че „можело“ и меко казано агресивно поведение. След като и други граждани се намесиха в ситуацията, длъжностните лица започнаха да се разпръсват в тъмното, използвайки нецензурни изрази, когато им беше поискано да върнат парите и да съставят актове, за да се извърши плащането по законен начин.
Разполагам със снимки на издадените касови бележки, които съдържат идентификационните номера на контрольорите. Имам следните въпроси:

  1. Съществува ли процедура, по която може да бъде подадена жалба за действията на тези длъжностни лица, които откровено рекетират чуждестранни граждани?
  2. Като се има предвид, че устройствата на контрольорите разполагат с ПОС терминали, защо подобни кеш злоупотреби все още се случват в рамките на тази институция

2025.01.27 19:32 Bitter-Description-1 Technical problem when trying to upgrade?

Hello!
I booked a round trip in Economy, and I managed to upgrade the first leg of my trip. Now, I’d like to upgrade the return flight, but every time I click the 'upgrade your cabin' button, I get an error message. It says to try again in a few minutes, but I’ve been trying since the start of the month, and it just doesn’t work.
I’ve tried on my phone and iPad, but no luck there either. Interestingly, the website works fine if I want to book a seat, and I was able to move the date of my return flight forward without issue.
I emailed BA, but they just directed me to another support page with loads of phone numbers. As I’m currently abroad, I’m not sure if I can make international calls.
It’s a bit frustrating—does anyone know what might be going on?
Thank you!

2025.01.27 19:32 QVigi Just run away to fight at the objective

I personally feel like the biggest issue I have with random teammates is they don't know how to leave a fight alone or how to simply escape a fight. I understand it's not always easy to fight but I watch my teammates get so tunnel visioned in a fight that they don't even realize that they are the last man alive in the team and they need to leave to survive and possibly revive. And the main issue is they want to fight a mile across the map away from the objective instead of leaving the fight and taking it to the objective so you have a better chance in a team fight as well as having a better time to steal if we win the fight. But often times my team will follow me for a while as I have the vault and when I get to the objective they are nowhere to be seen and I have to fight off the enemy teams by myself while they fight a single light for 2 minutes 🤣

2025.01.27 19:32 mutherhrg China is absolutely cooking and nobody outside China has any idea

Ok so for reference, I don't live in China and I'm not chinese, but I can read and speak Chinese decently. Also I'm obsessed with Chinese technology and science for years now. I spent a lot of my free time scrawling the Chinese internet for news since 2016. Really technical stuff, company earning calls, patents filing, press releases, interviews, official government news, technical papers in journals that barely anyone has heard off, random rumors spread by well know industry figures. Really really dry and boring stuff. And here's the thing, there's a fuck ton of information about China that anybody can access, but nobody does, just because it's in Chinese and it's buried in journals and whatnot. Even things that really should be top secret can be found. For example, the two 6th gen fighters that flew in China last month, while it came out as a shock to everyone outside China, within the chinese internet, there was massive rumours about their maiden flights, almost two months before the actual flight. Pretty much all the chinese military fans knew to almost the exact date when those two fighters were going to fly. And after that, they dug up old technical papers in some military journals that were freely available and found out that those papers were describing systems that those planes were using. Again, this kind of stuff really really should be top secret, but with a lot of digging, you can find it freely. Even super duper ultra top secret stuff, like their EUV development, there's enough news that you can get a pretty clear picture if you really dig hard enough.
There's tons of other examples. Deepseek surprised the Western world, but they were already hottest A.I company in China since mid-2024, everyone in China could tell that there was something special about them and they were probably gonna lead the Chinese A.I companies despite their small size and inexperience. SMIC shocked America when they released their 7nm chips in 2023, but ever since 2019, SMIC has always said in their roadmap and earning call that they were aiming for 7nm and confident that they could do it. Nobody in America bothered to actually read their earning call I guess. Huawei shocked the world when they made their big comeback, but anyone in the weeds could see their massive investments and effort to keep themselves afloat and pull ahead of the sanctions.
But my main point here is that there's a ton of development going on in China right now. From private companies, to massive state backed science/infrastructure projects, China is cooking hard. There's so much activity going on in China right now, most of which are massive gamechangers and will have a massive impact on the world. Some will come out the next few years, and others will take a decade to mature. But a lot of them will likely have the same impact as Deepseek has had on the A.I industry. And all the info is there in Chinese, you can read up on all the details years before they actually happen.
But nobody is paying close attention to Chinese development, hence why everyone is so shocked whenever China makes a big breakthrough out of the blue. It's never out of the blue btw. There's always a massive paper trail in the chinese internet of the developmental process before it hits the mainstream english media. Translation software is already extremely good, I highly suggest that you take some time and actually go on a trek in the chinese internet if you want to see what the cutting edge in technology development is and keep up to date. Protip- Don't invest too much into Nvidia, they are not gonna like what China has up their sleeves.

2025.01.27 19:32 ThatsMotley I don’t know how to study programming and feel stuck: any advice?

I am a computer science student at university. It’s really embarrassing to say, but I don’t actually know how to “study” programming. What’s even more embarrassing is that I’ve only passed two exams, and they’re not even focused on programming. I’m struggling to move forward despite being in my second academic year. I understand the theory (lists, stacks, queues), and I watch a lot of tutorials on YouTube, but I can’t actually program on my own—I lack problem-solving skills.
When I try to complete some tasks, I get stuck immediately and turn to some AI for help (I know this is the worst thing I could do), but I don’t know how to move forward. I can’t seem to get comfortable with double or triple pointers.
Everyone tells me that the best way to learn is through practice, but I get stuck right away and can’t make any progress. It’s clear that I don’t have an effective study method for this field, and this frustrates me and makes me feel so stupid and incapable compared to my university peers, who are acing their exams and moving ahead, unlike me.
How do you study programming?

2025.01.27 19:32 Commercial-Bite-1943 Context Window Limits in AI Assistants: How Do You Manage Extended Conversations?

I've been using AI assistants extensively for complex work, and I keep running into an interesting challenge - the context window limit. Once you hit that limit, you have to start a new chat and somehow maintain the thread of your previous discussion.
I'm curious how others handle this, especially when working on complex technical problems or research that requires extended back-and-forth with the AI.
If you regularly use AI assistants:
- How does hitting the context limit affect your workflow?
- Have you found any effective ways to maintain continuity between sessions?
- What would make this process smoother for you?
I'm particularly interested in hearing from researchers and professionals who rely on extended AI interactions. The technical limitation is clear, but I'm more interested in understanding how it impacts your actual work and thought process. Looking forward to hearing about your experiences and approaches.

2025.01.27 19:32 CosmicChameleon99 Tales from the tides (pt. 2)

/uw before I start the post, fair warning, this is a long one. And that’s by my standards, so please make sure you have adequate time to read. Also if anyone is interested there is a very small event at the end. You can barely call it an event really. Now the warning is aside, let’s begin.
/rw
“I sometimes worry for my collection. What if my waters destroy my treasures? It wouldn’t be the first time. Here, look at this one. It used to be so beautifully shiny. Memories and sunlight alike caught in its twisted surface and I would sit for hours watching the people pass in its reflection, each so absorbed in their lives they never noticed the marvel around them. It recorded a fire, you know. A fire! I wish I could show you. But look at it now, its glossy sheen dulled to a rough frosting, its rigid curves and sharpened edges smoothed away. The memories may still be there, trapped under the surface, but every moment the glass spends in my waters, they wear away more and I am left to fill in the gaps with what little I recall of the second hand lives I saw there. I have been recalling increasingly little lately. Nevertheless, I promised to show you what I could of humanity and what better a way to do so than to show you what they hold most dear? So I will continue to tell my stories and you will continue to learn. Do you understand? Good, then I will begin.”
“Today’s tale starts in a tavern, as many of the best tales do. At the bar stood the boy from my last story, older now and more mature with an easy manner and a gentle smile.”
The flag had not yet been stolen and still hung on the wall, glinting in the firelight and scattering gold into the maws of the snarling krakens that adorned the tableware. Despite the fierce motif, the room was relaxed, filled with the chatter of sailors relaxing after a long journey at sea. Children pressed their faces up against the windows, only to scatter at the shake of the bartender’s head or the sight of another crew approaching the gnarled driftwood door. Sometimes those crews brought leftover wares from across the sea, thick wool tapestries from the icy north, rare plants from the western forests, chains that shone with trapped moonlight from the sunken city. Xiphias, the bartender, was a collector of such oddities and the walls of the tavern were adorned with trinkets from across the seas, gifts from returning friends and signs of the perpetual trickle of money from his purse. Only one piece from his hoard did not ornament the tavern. Prized above all else, cradled in silks from a distant archipelago, lay an unremarkable gold pendant in the shape of a crescent moon. There were no adornments, no jewels or inlay or carved splendour. Simply a single crack which ran along the edge of the moon. It was by no means the most impressive item in his collection, nor was it the prettiest or oldest or rarest. And yet here it lay, cradled in silks far more valuable than the pendant, forever by the bartender’s side. An unremarkable gift whose value remained known only to the bartender.
“Little remains of the day the gift was given; the pair didn’t stay by the windows long and much of the time they spent there was worn away by the sea. In the glass it’s barely a haze. Nevertheless, I will do what I can to reconstruct the time leading up to it.”
Xiphias stood at the bar, pouring drinks and laughing with the sailors that flocked to the Kraken’s Maw every night. Though it went unnoticed by the patrons, too lost in rambling tales from their latest voyage, his smile was flecked with worry. For every close escape, there was a crack in his congratulations. For every sunken ship, his brows knotted ever so slightly. The sailors never noticed how his hand shook a little as he poured them another round, nor how his eyes kept drifting below the bar, where a stack of letters lay, the dates scrolled below each address stopping suspiciously short. It had been three weeks since he’d last heard from Rosaline. According to her last letter, her ship was stopped to restock, only a week’s sail from Bilgewater. There had been no reports of storms and some of the regulars had even commented on how calm the gods had been this year. Only six drowned ships and the sailing season was almost up! The winds were brisk but pleasant. By all accounts she should’ve been home. By all accounts, she should be safe. So why was he so consumed with worry? He glanced at the letters below the bar again, now a habit. An old sketch lay discarded beside them, one he’d been trying to improve every night. Rosaline, as she was when he last saw her, laughing in the sun as it dazzled off the bay. As the night sky deepened to an inky velvet and the patrons began to filter out, he reshuffled the pages and picked up his pencil.
Locking the bar behind him, he wandered the empty streets, captured in the gentle flicker of the last lanterns shining from windows. One by one they winked out in little puffs of smoke as he walked, past the market with its shuttered stalls and patterned awnings, so oddly familiar yet distant from the market he used to chase his friends through all those years ago on a far off shore. Down the little alleyway that led to a shrine to the gods of other lands, a secret practice forbidden by the temple that loomed above the city. Alone in the shrine, veiled by the night jasmine that Rosaline had worked so hard to cultivate for him, he hung his lantern on a hook and span an iron ring. Suspended from it were shards of coloured glass, remnants of old lanterns and bottles smashed by angry sailors. They scattered bright flecks of light as they span through the air, illuminated by the lantern. Red, brown, blue. A nebula of patterned light, woven from the remnants of past conflicts. In the centre of the glass galaxy, Xiphias knelt beside a bowl of sand, glanced around to check nobody was watching and began to weep, letting his tears roll down his cheeks and onto the desert sand as he muttered a prayer to every god he knew. It had been three weeks. Two weeks too long to be away in good conditions. A one week sail should have been simple. Lord of the Sands, let her be safe. Mother of Tides, let her come home.
Once the last tear had fallen, he meandered home, too tired to sketch, pausing on a bridge to look out at the little lights in the harbour, at all the ships that weren’t Rosaline’s.
“Was that a hint of sadness? Are you beginning to feel for Xiphias? Oh don’t protest so much. I know what I saw. Don’t worry, Rosaline survived. Her ship was delayed by repairs not long after she sent her last letter. Here. We can move on a little, if you like. We will rejoin the story a week later.”
Xiphias sat alone in the bar, illuminated by a shaft of sunlight. A pen rattled between his fingertips sending ink splattering over the countertop with every tremor as it gathered in the worn driftwood and ran in dark channels to the edge of the bar where it dripped off the side to a pool on the floor. The drawing was finished at last. The days seemed to shift like sand or shadows now, flickering between dull monotony and the brief snatches of time where he was left alone and his thoughts would overwhelm him, threatening to drown him. Time passed. Night fell. The bar began to flood with patrons. Caught inside his mind, stepping immaculately through the routine of serving drinks and light conversation, Xiphias heard only snatches of news.
“…colossal storm, waves almost as tall as a mast!”
“…winds so strong we almost sank! Anway, once we passed the headland…”
“…god. A big one at that, one of the old ones.”
“What do you think angered them?”
The chatter surged, crashed with the rising tide of thoughts that threatened to drown him. Words poured in, smashing against him in waves, almost unintelligible as the noise swelled within his mind, swirling and combining until he could only pick a few brief syllables from the spray.
“Crashed.”
“Sank.”
“Drowned.”
“Storm.”
“God!”
“God?”
“God.”
“Not my proudest moment, I’ll admit. I never intended to harm them. Much like you, I simply didn’t understand what I was doing. The waves were so beautiful and the wind roared such a perfect symphony! And the wonder of dancing with the clouds, I had to try to catch them. So I pulled myself higher and higher, reaching for them and falling away. I barely noticed the ships, and when I did, I pulled them into the dance with me. I, like you, meant no harm. That’s why I’m here with you, to teach you, the same way you taught me. We’re approaching the end of the story now. I hope you’ll learn something today. In fact, believe you already have.”
“We once again leave our protagonist to pass his time without us. He has now begun to accept Rosaline’s death and has absorbed himself in work to avoid the pressure of his own feelings. Every day is a whirl of glasses, drinks and smiles as he laughs with his increasingly concerned patrons. Some of the sailors in the port still believe Rosaline lived, remind each other that voyages are always filled with delays and detours that often add months to a journey. They try their best to console their bartender and friend with hope. Still, there was a storm, and a god too. Reports keep flooding in of ships thought to be lost to my waters. Flowers appear at the forbidden shrine, then offerings, then prayers until one day the temple comes to the altar and puts an end to it. There is talk of a memorial for the drowned. Ships begin to flock to the port for fear of another attack. The temple set up parades and sacrifices to appease me and calm the fearful sailors. I notice nothing, already wandering away in search of the next thrill. Every day, a new ship lands and the town flocks to the Kraken’s Maw listening for news of family, friends, loved ones. A few regulars try to speak to Xiphias or console him. Their efforts are pushed back at every turn but they manage to sneak fresh treasures onto the tavern walls, which Xiphias catalogues carefully, finding a little joy in the stories woven through his collection. At last, a familiar sail rises over the horizon and heads for port. And that is where we will begin.”
A surge of relief swept through the port as the ship drew closer. The first mate’s children jostled through the crowd to wave to their mother, the youngest still hugging his brother’s leg, a grin spreading across his face as he saw her waving from the foredeck. The captain, focused at the wheel, let out a yell as she saw her elderly parents crying, smiling and hugging one another on the shore. The crew dropped the anchor and a flock of small boats rowed out to the harbour to greet them and welcome them aboard. Below decks, the navigator searched a barrel and withdrew a delicately carved sandalwood box before stuffing it in a satchel and hurrying to a boat, auburn curls streaming behind her as she ran. Laughing and congratulating the crew, she seized an oar and began to row to the shore where her friends scattered into the crowd, searching for their families and friends. Her face fell. She was alone.
The captain appeared at her shoulder.
“Not looking for anyone?”
“He’s not here.”
“He will be. I’m certain of it.”
A shout, a wave and the captain was gone, leaving Rosaline to sit alone on the shore, the waves lapping at her ankles as she stared out to sea. Meanwhile, still serving customers in the bar, Xiphias began to mix a drink dedicated to her memory. Night fell and the crowds dispersed, their families and friends reunited. Still on the shore, Rosaline rose and began to make her way through town, caught in a haze. Her feet led her up a familiar street, past the market and over the river and before she knew it, a driftwood sign creaked gently above her, its rocking rhythm inviting as she stepped into the tavern.
Xiphias stood in stunned silence behind the bar as Rosaline entered. She was a ghost, a half-remembered vision whose form danced in the windowpanes and flickered with the candlelight. Her hazel eyes shone with an otherworldly glamour, darting across his face, searching his soul for any familiar sign of recognition. The illusion stepped forward, hair blurring into a soft gold halo at the edges. Xiphias stumbled towards her. She dropped her satchel. The gold crescent moon spilled onto the floor and winked in the candlelight. Neither noticed. Another step, another and suddenly the strange illusion faded and she was real, his hands tangling in her hair, her arms wrapping around him, pulling him into a hug.
“The pair stood there for some time, their reflections shining with an unearthly glow in the windows as they embraced. I can’t tell you what happened after their reflections left the window, only that they appear in later memories together, happy and reunited. As for the necklace? Well, you needn’t be so greedy. I’ll tell you another time. Tonight, however, I have a task for you. At the eastern edge of my collection lies a mound of glass shards exactly like this one. Glass traps memories exquisitely, you know. I pieced today’s story together from the memories of fragments of light caught in windows across the city. You gave me a great gift when you climbed onto the land. Unknowingly, you swept thousands of tiny fragments of the past, encased in shards of glass from every window into my waters. Take some, sift through them and return with the stories you find there. Tomorrow, it will be your turn to tell the tale.”
Far from the river, where the cliffs meet the sea just beyond Bilgewater’s eastern edge, an expanse of shining glass begins to shift and tug, pulled by an unfamiliar current. Tumbling in the waves, it scatters searching beams of sunlight through the water, cutting the surface where they fail to pierce the thick fog that has begun to drown the city. High above the harbour, perched atop a cliff, an elderly witch gazes with concern at the dark smog that smothers her hometown. A pile of sketches, inked with care into crumbling scrolls and yellowed pages adorns the grass beside her, sheltered from the wind by a blanket of ivy. Her eyes narrow as she pours herself a cup of tea, opens her grimoire and begins to embroider a new record of the fog.

Take a few memories from the glass they were given and write something of what you see there, put it in the comments or make a post and ping me! If it doesn’t interfere with lore plans, I’ll make it canon. I look forward to what you make.

2025.01.27 19:32 Rot_Snocket You should be playing Thraben Charm

[[Thraben Charm]] is amazing and I don't see why it's being slept on. You've got creature removal, enchantment removal, and graveyard hate all in a cheap, instant speed package. The only archetype that I could see it not fitting into would be Voltron. In that same vein, [[Bovine Intervention]] deserves more love than it gets.
Flexible single-target removal that costs less than 3 mana has pushed cards like [[Generous Gift]] and [[Excise the Imperfect]] out of my decks entirely.
Grab a few copies of Thraben Charm today and thank me later.

2025.01.27 19:32 KingDavid395 Dietl Crisis or Hydronephrosis

Hello Reddit,
I am a 29M and up until 27/28, I had no issues at all. I am pretty athletic, gym, play sports and stay relatively healthy. No prior medical history. In March 2023, I was on vacation with my gf and was drinking a beer at a ski resort. Half way through, I had the most terrible right flank pain. I mean it was unbearable. A few weeks later, I went to a urologist and they did a CT scan as well as a renogram, where he concluded that I had hydronephrosis or Dietl crisis. The doc said to wait a year to see how it goes… over the past year it would be almost like flare ups. Usually caused by BEER, alcohol, over eating, or just eating something too greasy/oily etc. however sometimes even just something as minor as coffee.
The most recent “flare up” I had was 4 days ago when I took a pre workout .. worked out then had a protein shake + dinner after. I had the most unbearable pain overnight and into the day (next day) I mean we’re talking almost 6 HOURS. I was rolling in bed, taking a shower, going into the tub .. basically doing anything to try to occupy myself.
I don’t want to say what I do for a living to stay somewhat anonymous but I have a high position at a large company and we had board meetings the day of my flare up. I had to skip out on an important day for the company where several members of the board and investors flew in for. Even though my colleagues backed me up, it was embarrassing and I knew I had to do something about my health.
I am scheduled in March with a good doctor in my area who performs laparoscopic robotic pyleoplasty. Has anyone done this surgery? And why does the pain only come to me with things like beer and not soda or even junk food?? Really weird.
I can post my scans if needed.
Thanks.
