u/I_Mean_Not_Really

I wanted to tell you guys about a very different use case I have for the anti-gravity CLI today

So I was hired to install the Wi-Fi in an Airbnb. Pretty simple setup but it is included taking their existing router, turning it into bridge mode, and then running everything through another router, a POE plus gigabit switch and then out to two wireless access points.

It's been a while since I've done any actual technical stuff like that so I was pretty rusty.

So what I did was I grabbed an old laptop of mine, installed Linux Mint, and installed the antique gravity CLI.

I made a project folder of documents that I had typed up before, like hardware we were using, the direction the cables were going to have to be buried in, where it was, why it was going to be used and stuff like that

Running it from that folder, I told it what we were doing and I had it download all of the quick start guides, all the documentation for the hardware, headed organize the plan a little bit better and then I had it download every network CLI tool it thought would be useful. Like wireshark CLI and a couple other packet sniffing tools and management tools.

It was basically my man on the inside configuring the network from within.

I'm not done with it yet but it has been really really really helpful. It's recommendations for how to configure the router for long-term support, for example, we're pretty interesting. And I was only using 3.5 flash high.

When I started getting the router and the switch plugged in and everything hooked up it was even able to figure out that one of the pins on one of the network cables was not working.

It was just so fascinating to see how it coalesced all of the usage from the documentation with the official guides from the hardware and combined with all of the CLI tools it was using.

Very cool, highly recommended

It had white bread, mayo, roast beef and 2 slices colby jack cheese.

The guys get it

I've hit the jackpot

Hey r/advertising, I'm a fine art photographer putting together a pitch for Frame USA to license my work as "facepaper" (the stock inserts that ship inside their retail frames).

I've done a lot of research over the last 2 months so before I reach out, I have a few quick operational questions for anyone with insight into art licensing or procurement at companies like theirs:

1. Does the procurement team at Frame USA actually entertain pitches from independent photographers, or is their supply chain totally locked down by giant agencies (like Wild Apple) and stock sites?

2. I built a custom DAM to handle my mockups and formatted pre-press files. Will a buyer there actually click a proprietary secure link from a new vendor, or will corporate IT block it? Do I absolutely need to use an industry-standard platform (like PhotoShelter) just to get my foot in the door?

3. I’m aiming for a Rights-Managed (RM) deal with an upfront advance against a 5–8% wholesale royalty. Is that realistic when pitching Frame USA today, or do they strictly demand flat-fee buyouts to avoid tracking royalties across thousands of SKUs?

4. My portfolio is 100% human-crafted and legally cleared. With the absolute flood of AI-generated images out there, does undeniable legal indemnification against copyright lawsuits actually carry weight or command a premium with buyers right now?

5. Given that face paper is essentially just placeholder art to sell the frame, are manufacturers like Frame USA even licensing external photography for this anymore? Or have their in-house design teams pivoted to just generating all their face paper inserts using Midjourney/DALL-E to cut out licensing costs entirely?

Any insight is super appreciated!

I'm putting out a call to the Art Directors here who spend their days wrestling with massive image libraries and endless asset folders.

I'm currently developing my own custom Digital Asset Management (DAM) system from the ground up to handle general photography workflows, strictly in house use.

Since you are the power users who live and breathe asset management, I'd love to get your opinions on what actually works:

What is your "holy grail" feature? When you're searching, sorting, or pulling assets for a campaign, what saves you the most time?

What drives you crazy? What do current DAMs consistently get wrong, overcomplicate, or bury in awful UI?

Is there a specific way you wish metadata was handled, displayed, or automated?

Any insights, workflow secrets, or major pet peeves you can share would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks!

So starting in January, I started doing two things. I started working on a productivity app for people with ADHD and dyslexia, and I also started looking for a part-time job.

And basically the idea at the time was, "we're going to see which one makes money first".

While I have been putting in two to three applications literally every single day with not even an email response back, I've been making progress on my app.

It's not ready for monetization yet but I'm not far off.

Are we coming up on a world where entrepreneurship might have to take the place of part-time work?

Made a new account today and within an hour I got 3 customer. YAY!?

not yay

I'm almost certain these are scams. They are providing links, rather than what the gig calls for which is sending me the data in the Fiverr messenger.

New accounts, no purchase history.

What other scams should I be on the lookout for?
