I am the founder of a SaaS startup that has created a Cloud Managed Linux Firewall Platform aimed at being an alternative to cloud-native firewalls by leverage open-source security.
I am not exactly starting from scratch in the startup scene as I co-founded a successful cloud connectivity MSP and got it to approx $7M ARR - however, this was a consultative sell, smaller volume aimed at large enterprises and were lucky enough to have a $800k/year customer from day one - small number of customers, high value.
This time it's different as its pure-play SaaS and all my own code and intellectual property - its SaaS, so expecting/wanting high volumes as a commodity price-point ($50-$250/month).
The roadmap is long with features I know are required and the price-point at where it needs to be.
As its SaaS, I want to get beta users testing my product/platform out with the basics of features and not make a big/full launch until I have enough feedback and bug fixes etc.
So, my question is - how would you go about getting 20-50 beta testers who are interested in linux firewalls or firewalls in the cloud knowing that it's not a fully fledged all-singing solution just yet (not ashamed to say that it will be fairly basic but want to roll out features constantly when I am 100% comfortable with stability etc)? Also, wanting to keep it fairly stealth and not draw much attention until I do a full big bang launch.
TL;DR - want to get 20-50 beta testers for my SaaS whilst accepting its not fully fledged and wanting to keep on the quiet until I know it's ready for a big launch.
Thanks in advance.

We all know the show "Mountain Monsters". It's about a group of likeable West Virginia mountain folk, all experiences hunters and trappers, who go out in the woods looking for bigfoot and other cryptids. Sometimes the go after ghosts and demons, but only in a misguided attempt for ratings. Their real strength is with monsters. Plus, they are armed to the teeth. Interestingly, most of them are armed with Wal-Mart shotguns. However, later on Huckleberry does begin brandishing a tricked out AR-15!
The show is an original Travel Channel production. https://www.travelchannel.com/shows/mountain-monsters Honestly, it is one of the greatest shows to have ever aired on television. It has it all: Drama, comedy, suspense, horror, moonshiners, monsters, ghosts, demons, guns, and pickup trucks. I have often compared MM to some of the best TV ever created, including "Breaking Bad. " I am dead serious!
Now let me step aside for a moment. We all like porn. It comes in many varieties. I am, for example, partial to Asian porn. One such genre of porn is parody porn. For example, there is an "Adams Family" porn parody film. It is just like "Adams Family", except there are porn actors and they all screw. "Thing", for example, repeatedly finger-bangs Morticia. I have seen porn parodies of TV shows (The A Team) and dramatic award winning cinema ("On Golden Pond" remade into "On Golden Blond").
So, like old Trapper sitting in his wooden, creaky old rocking chair cyphering on the intentions of the Rogue Team, I have been sitting on my back porch in recent days cyphering on a MM porn parody film. I imagine that if I was cast in such a flick I would be playing good old Huckleberry. There would be a premise based on the show. For example, perhaps the boys are out looking for bigfoot and come across a cute, young country girl being chased by a sasquatch. The boys save her from danger, then there is a big, sweaty gangbang she hosts to thank the boys. There is literally infinite story arcs that could be made!

🛠 UNDER CONSTRUCTION ⚒️

The information detailed in this narrative is undergoing review and in the process of being updated.
Our philosophy within the SSDI_SSI Subreddit is to share our experiences to try to assist others. It does not necessarily mean that any shared experience will be a duplicate of your current experiences or outcomes.
Sometimes?
Just knowing that someone else has made it through similar difficult processes may make a huge difference to the stress you are currently (or soon will be) experiencing.
While I was going through some really rough times? I kept notes regarding some of the issues I was having, the numerous helpful resources I came across, and the search techniques I utilized.
Some of the resources I came across had nothing to do with a specific issue that I was experiencing.
However? If I thought the resources could be:

■ helpful to others?	■ relevant?
■ informative?	■ significant?

I kept track just in case the resources could be of assistance to others.
I gathered all of the notes / links I had collected and created this narrative through the years.
These resources are relative to people who live in the USA.
Although other countries may have such programs, they would (most likely) not share the same links.
You could utilize similar techniques (not the exact same links found here) to search for helpful resources in your community, perhaps.
In the USA? If you have a SmartPhone or a computer? You can actually call / locate sites that offer assistance and / or let your fingers do the walking!

This is a living document and will be changed as needed.

12345 free therapy
12345 free transportation
12345 paratransit services
You get the idea!
You can use different terminology during your search.
I have found that each city / state is different throughout the USA.
You never know what your community has already established for people who need help.
You will find that some communities offer more assistance than others.
If you don't have a SmartPhone or a computer?
Go to the library. There are all kinds of resources there - most of which are free.
While there? Pick up some books!!

Always keep looking for solutions.

Reach out to others.
We are a community on Reddit - created to help each other.
Don't give up!
No matter what!
I've compiled a list of helpful information / sites that I add to periodically. Some may help you now / some may not (but could nevertheless provide assistance in the future).
It's always good to know about these resources in case you ever need them.
Programs / headings are in alphabetical order:

Children

There are organizations specifically geared towards the needs of children. A few are detailed below.
National Diaper Network.
Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrtion Services - Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) - WIC Eligibility Requirements.

Disability Eligibility Requirements

If you or a loved one are 💯% disabled? You should consider applying for SSA disability benefits.
All SSA disability programs have the same criteria in regards to eligibility. If unable to work because of a medical / psychological condition, you are eligible for SSA disability benefits.
■ You have to be 💯% disabled (SSA does not award benefits for partial disabilities).
■ Unable to work.
■ Have a disability that will last for at least a year or end in your death.

We pay disability benefits to people who can't work because they have a medical condition that's expected to last at least one year or result in death. Federal law requires this very strict definition of disability. While some programs give money to people with partial disability or short-term disability, we do not.

If you have not already done so? Sign up for mySocialSecurity, with the ability to provide secure online access to your current earnings record and history. Information regarding your retirement, disability, and any survivor benefits that you and your family may be eligible for will also be accessible. Also? Your potential monthly benefits will be calculated.

Education

Continuing your education is a great way to learn.
You can go to school online and not even leave your home. Take a class here and there. Go to school at 3:00 am on a Wednesday or 4:00 pm on a Saturday.
There are no worries about parking, transportation, or rushing to make it to a class from your job.
Some states offer free college tuition for the first two years. There are other charges like room and board, textbooks and transportation (which will need to be paid for out of pocket).
Apply for Pell Grants or other types of assistance. Ask the school for whatever other programs may be avaliable to you.
Accredited Online Colleges.
Apply for Financial Aid.

Health Insurance

If you need health insurance? You might want to consider applying for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which is income based. Benefits are different for each state. Depending on:
■ what agreement your state's Governor signed and your state's legislatures approved?
■ if the last administration allowed insurance policies (that cover nothing) to proliferate your state?
Your options are variable. Meaning? Your benefits will be uniquely tailored for your financial qualifications and your state.
A lot of people are turning to the reliable ACA because of everything that has transpired.

Housing Issues

Sometimes, there are huge differences in the types of housing / assistance you may be eligible for (depending on the state or community that you live in).
There may be a waiting list in your area, but you should at least apply for all programs.
Concerned About Eviction.
Find Your Local Public Housing Agency (PHA).
HUD Eviction Guidance.
Learn More About Renting and HUD Rental Assistance Programs.
Rent Relief Resources.

Interested in Moving?

We decided we needed to move when we noticed that the community we lived in did not provide the support we needed to have a better life.
We wanted to move to a location that offered exposure to better healthcare, health insurance, housing and paratransit services.
So?
Make a list of items that are important to you and your family. Rank them in order of importance.
Remember? Each community is different and offers different services.
Each jurisdiction has a Chamber of Commerce page or other similar resource that lists issues you might be interested in.
I searched the internet, made lists, and came up with the following resources (presented in alphabetical order) that were important to our family. You and your family might have other criteria.

(1) Helping Hands

Helping Hands Action Group monitors the benefits landscape for updates and changes to policies and programs. Depending on the jurisdiction? They offer transportation and other services. You should check 12345 Helping Hands in your area.
Check out the Helping Hands Action Group - click here.

(2) Medicaid Expansion

The Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) Medicaid expansion expanded Medicaid coverage to nearly all adults with incomes up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level ($20,783 for an individual in 2024) and provided states with an enhanced federal matching rate (FMAP) for their expansion populations.

To date, 41 states (including DC) have adopted the Medicaid expansion and 10 states have not adopted the expansion. Current status for each state is based on KFF tracking and analysis of state expansion activity.

Check out the Status of State Medicaid Expansion Decisions: Interactive Map - click here.

(3) Paratransit / Transportation

Another thing you should consider adding to the list? Check to see what type of transportation services are offered.
You never have to worry about parking, blizzards, running out of fuel or parking meter money, taffic or anything else that would be a hindrance.
If your community has bus routes? You might have paratransit services available to you.
The fair is reasonable (much better than ubers, taxis or something else).
You do not need to be in a wheelchair for paratransit services.
The driver will walk you to and from the door of the building (your home and the appointment and vice versa).
You can use the services for anything you want to, such as vists to:

beauty parlors	parks
community events	physical therapy
library visits	school events
medical appts	shopping excursions
movies	veterinarian appts
museums	volunteer work

Anything you can think of - it is such a blessing.
I have lived in areas that had paratransit and areas that did not offer paratransit. It makes a huge difference in your sense of independence to be able to attend appointments and go places you need to. Without the interference of worrying about reliable transportation.

(4) Social Security Taxes

Moving to a state where they do not charge social security taxes dramatically increased our overall income. If you are interested in moving to states that do not require taxes on SSA benefits?
Check out 39 states that do not tax Social Security benefits - click here. Consider moving. It saved us a lot of money every single month.

Hi,
Recently I played a bit with LLMs, specifcally exploring ways of running the models locally and building prompts using LangChain. As a result ended up coding a small recommendation system, powered with Llama3-7b model, which suggests topics to read on HackerNews.
Wanted to share my experiences, so I wrote a small article where I described all my findings. Hope you'll like it: https://lukaszksiezak.github.io/ScrapyToLLM/
Github repo: https://github.com/lukaszksiezak/ScrapyToLLM
What the project does:
It's a Python application which uses scrapy to scrape HackerNews page. Scraped articles are pipelined to redis, which is then feeding Llama3 using langchain. Prompter is configured to serve a user articles which are matching his request.
Target Audience:
I think it suits the best all the people who are looking for a Hello World projects using LLMs. I think it also reveals some difficulties related to LLM tech, what potential problems could be found in production systems.
Comparison:
Recommendation systems are widely used and known, however LLMs are the ones which may work out of the box when appropriate prompt is given. It's kind of interesting to explore various usages of the technology and take part in fast grow of that stack.
Cheers.

You may wonder:

• What cameras do sports photographers use?
• What is the best camera for sports photography beginner?
• How to choose the right camera and lens combo for action shots?

And that’s exactly what I’m here to help you with today.
Here are the top 5 best cameras for sports photography (beginner and advanced folks) across various price points.
I'll also include the recommended lenses for sports for each of the camera body mentioned.
These options work for a variety of events/team sports:

• football
• basketball
• motorsport
• soccer matches (sports moms)
• and/or capture other fast moving objects

Whatever camera you decide to choose, remember, for this photography genre, fast focusing and high frame rate is what you need to look for.
Alright, here's the roundup of the best cameras for sports photography.

1. Canon Rebel T6i

Type: Compact SLR Weight: 555 g Resolution: 24MP LCD: Fully articulated Touchscreen: Yes Weather-sealed: No ISO: Auto, 100-12800 (expandable to 25600)
While the Canon Rebel T6i (or 750D outside the US) is not ‘the latest and greatest’, it’s still a sweet choice in many ways.
Here are my 3 reasons why you should consider it:

• It is one of the best budget-friendly DSLRs for beginner photographers.
• It is one of those fairly compact DSLRs to take on your travels.
• The T6i is a nice low-end DSLR for action shots that you can get under $1000.

The kit lens isn’t good for this genre though!
(The T7i is the newer model but it’s also a bit more expensive.)
Reasons to buy:

• excellent work in auto mode
• continuous shooting up to 5 fps
• large buffer when shooting in JPG
• high quality images up to ISO 3200
• responsive touch screen and tilting display
• video shooting with smooth and fast autofocus

Reasons to avoid:

• the camera is not the latest and the greatest
• a small amount of buffer when shooting in RAW
• non-ideal skin tone when shooting with automatic white balance
• no direct focus point selection when viewed through the viewfinder

Best lens for action shots:

• EF-S 18-135mm lens

Most of the kits come with the 18-35 lenses but those are not long enough, so that’s why you should get 18-135mm lens for sports photography.
Moving on to the next camera.

2. Canon 7D II

Type: Mid-size SLR Weight: 910 g Resolution: 20MP LCD: Not articulated Touchscreen: None Weather-sealed: Yes ISO: Auto, ISO 100-16000
Canon EOS 7D Mark II is one of the most advanced APS-C sensor DSLRs at the moment.
In fact, it is one of the best affordable Canon cameras for sports on the market today.
It’s also one of the best DSLR cameras under $2000 budget (with the kit lens that you can use for this type of photography).
There is no abundance of secondary functions in it common for newer models, but everything a professional photographer or a videographer needs is always at hand.
This is a real workhorse with lots of capabilities.
It has excellent autofocus, both when viewed through the viewfinder, and when using the display. It also has the highest speed of continuous shooting and a large buffer.

Reasons to buy:

• high image quality
• excellent fine-tuned autofocus
• built-in GPS and high battery life
• burst rate up to 10 frames per second
• Advanced ergonomics and fine-tuning controls
• works with two memory cards of different types
• full HD video shooting with an abundance of fine settings

Reasons to avoid:

• lack of 4K video
• comparatively high price
• the screen isn’t articulated
• the screen doesn’t support touch control

Best lens for action shots:

• EF-S 18-135mm lens

As I mentioned earlier this glass is a good one to get because it’s long enough for moving objects. If you’re on a budget, it’s always better getting a used 7D II body but absolutely do get that 18-135mm.

3. Nikon D500

Type: Mid-size SLR Weight: 860 g Resolution: 21 MP LCD: Tilting Touchscreen: Yes Weather-sealed: Yes ISO: ISO 100 – 51200 (expandable to 50 – 1640000)
The truth is...
Nikon D500 is one of the most amazing digital cameras ever produced by Nikon, equipped with a DX format sensor.
The Nikon D500 uses a new 20.9-megapixel CMOS sensor and a new Expeed 5 image processor. High burst rate (10 frames per second) and 153 points of autofocus, located throughout the frame area are an excellent offer for that kind of money!
It is complemented by an inclined touch screen, which makes it even more convenient. The D500 also has excellent video capabilities and allows you to shoot in 4K.
Keep in mind, this Nikon body is not for those who are looking to buy their very first DSLR.
All the charms of this camera will be appreciated only by an experienced photographer, meanwhile it will be difficult/frustrating to master for a beginner.

Reasons to buy:

• excellent ergonomics
• low level of digital noise
• continuous burst rate of 10 fps
• wide DR and a well-stretched RAW
• fast, sensitive and tenacious autofocus system
• quick and convenient focusing in Live View mode
• close to professional video and audio recording capabilities

Reasons to avoid:

• not the latest and greatest gear
• a bit “damp” wireless communication with SnapBridge

Best lens for action shots:

• Tamron 70-200mm

If you use D500 with the Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 telephoto zoom, then you have an amazing combo to crush it in sports photography. This glass is at a relatively lower price-point.
The new ones are a bit better but the older one will be just a bit cheaper if you are on a lower budget. (Don’t worry you won’t see that much of a difference in the lenses overall).

4. Sony a9

Type: SLR-style mirrorless Weight: 673 g Resolution: 24 MP LCD: Tilting Touchscreen: Yes Weather-sealed: Yes ISO: Auto, 100-51200 (50-204800)
This one is one of the best mirrorless cameras for sports photography (and an official EISA Award winner).
Sony a9 is a high-speed full-frame mirrorless that’s designed to go head to head with Canon and Nikon’s flagship professional DSLRs.
The a9 presents a high rate of burst of up to 20 frames/s, and a large buffer of up to 200 RAW frames, as well as an impressive ISO performance.
Even though smart modes of autofocus (such as focusing on the eyes, Lock-on AF and priority in the recognition of faces) require some time getting used to, they can significantly facilitate your work.
The 5-axis stabilization in this hybrid camera works well (both for photos and videos).
I must say that it’s also great for video shooting:
There is 4K and slow-motion shooting of 100/120 frames/s in Full HD. There is only no support for S-Log profiles, however the rest of the traditionally wide range of features is preserved.

Reasons to buy:

• great ISO performance
• wide dynamic range in RAW
• built-in five-axis stabilization system
• Full HD video shooting up to 100/120 fps
• buffer up to 200 frames in RAW and 360 JPEG
• speed of continuous shooting up to 20 frames/s
• fast and confident autofocus with native and non-original lenses
• accurate color rendering, good work of the automatics and white balance

Reasons to avoid:

• the display may overheat
• the battery life is lower than that of high-end DSLRs
• it is preferable to shoot in RAW at ISO above 6400 for optimum results
• the speed of continuous shooting with a mechanical shutter is limited to 5 frames/s

Best lens for action shots:

• Sony 70-200mm

Given that we are talking about sports, the best lens that’s recommended to buy along Sony a9 is Sony 70-200 GM fixed zoom lens.

5. Nikon D5

Type: Large SLR Weight: 1415 g Resolution: 21 MP LCD: Fixed Touchscreen: Yes Weather- sealed: Yes ISO: Auto, 100-102400 (expandable to 50-3280000)
Without a doubt...
Nikon D5 is one of the best DSLR cameras for any pro level photography, including sports.
Everything in this product, every little thing is set up to ensure a simple and guaranteed result when shooting in any conditions.
1) It’s not afraid of dust and moisture.
2) It easily, if not the best out of all cameras, deals well with the lack of light.
3) D5’s autofocus works so stably and quickly that you simply forget about it.
4) The speed of the continuous shooting and the large volume of the frames in RAW can guarantee you catching the right moment in any photo-shooting scene.
5) The resource of the battery makes it possible to shoot for a day without stopping or limiting yourself with the number of frames.
Nikon D5 is one of the best DSLRs for sports photography today.
It is an excellent choice for those photographers who really do shoot in difficult conditions and are required to guarantee the result

Reasons to buy:

• awesome battery life
• impressive image quality
• silent shooting in Live View mode
• ability to work with two memory cards
• large buffer: up to 200 frames in RAW
• video shooting in Full HD format at 60 fps
• continuous shooting up to 12 fps with autofocus
• dust and waterproof construction and excellent ergonomics

Reasons to avoid:

• no built-in Wi-Fi and GPS
• there is no focus peaking or Log Gamma profiles

.Best lens for action shots:

• Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8

We now established what is the best DSLR if you are into sports.
If you decide to go with Nikon D5 instead of Sony a9 mirrorless, then go with the Sigma 120-300mm F2.8 Sports DG Lens. You'll be blown away.

Best Cameras for Sports Photography: Final Thoughts

Look...
All of the aforementioned products are absolutely great. Some of them are full frame sensor, a couple of them are APS-C sensor (so keep the crop factor in mind).
They are not all expensive cameras. You can find across various price points, whether you are looking for digital cameras for beginners under $1000 or under the $5000 price tag, or more advanced gear for professional sports photographers.
In fact, all of the products mentioned are used by the pros and it shows that the quality really is top-notch (especially Sony a9, Nikon D5, and Canon EOS R with advanced autofocus systems).

I'm trying to setup a Back in Stock button on all our product pages so a customer can get an email when an item comes back in stock. We have a custom integration with NetSuite for our site inventory that works well for Abandoned Cart flows etc, but we're not sure if the "Back in Stock" flow will even work for NetSuite. Klaviyo's help section says it supports the "Back in Stock" flow for custom integrations but I've only been able to find how-to instructions for Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento 2 etc.
The issue is we aren't sure how Klaviyo gets the item ID or SKU that people are wanting to get an email for. It looks like you have to insert custom JavaScript on the site but it would be helpful to see another non-Shopify site that's already doing this.
Does anyone have experience setting up this flow for non-Shopify sites who could help us figure out what code to use?

Did you know 97% of consumers search online to find a local business? And 64% of consumers check Google reviews before visiting a business? In the competitive world of shave ice and snow cone businesses, standing out online is crucial. One of the most effective ways to do this is by optimizing your Google reviews. In this guide, we’ll walk you through why Google reviews are important, how they impact your business, and practical strategies to get and respond to reviews. Let’s dive in!
Why Google Reviews Matter
First Impressions Matter Your Google Business Profile (GBP) is often the first interaction potential customers have with your business. It’s like a digital billboard showcasing who you are, what you do, and how you operate. Having a strong profile filled with positive reviews can significantly influence potential customers’ decisions.
Impact on Local SEO Google reviews play a significant role in local SEO. They affect your ranking in Google’s “Map Pack,” which displays local businesses based on proximity and relevance to the searcher. According to Daniel Wright, an expert in reputation management, 17% of how you rank in local searches is determined by your reviews, including their quantity, quality, and how often you receive them.
Building Trust and Credibility Reviews build trust and credibility. Nine out of ten people read reviews before choosing a business, and they spend an average of 15 minutes doing so. Positive reviews reassure potential customers that they’re making the right choice, while a well-managed response to negative reviews can show your commitment to customer service.
Setting Up and Optimizing Your Google Business Profile
Complete Your Profile Ensure your GBP is complete and accurate. Include essential information like your business name, address, phone number, operating hours, and a brief description of your services. Regularly update your profile to reflect any changes.
Add Photos and Videos Photos and videos can significantly enhance your profile. Businesses with photos and videos receive 35% more clicks. Add high-quality images of your products, storefront, and happy customers. Encourage customers to upload their photos too.
Strategies to Generate More Reviews
Just Ask Surprisingly, up to 70% of people are willing to leave a review if asked. Train your staff to ask for reviews, especially after a positive interaction. You can also include a reminder on receipts or follow-up emails.
Make It Easy Simplify the process for customers by providing a direct link to your Google review page. You can generate this link from your GBP and share it via email, SMS, or on your website.
Use QR Codes Display QR codes at your shop that customers can scan to leave a review. This makes the process quick and convenient, increasing the likelihood of them following through.
Employee Incentives Motivate your employees by setting up a review generation program. For example, if your team can collect a certain number of reviews in a week, reward them with a bonus or a team treat.
Responding to Reviews
Timely Responses Responding to reviews within 24 to 48 hours shows that you value customer feedback. Quick responses can improve customer perception and encourage more reviews.
Personalize Your Responses When responding to reviews, personalize your message. Thank customers for their feedback and mention specific details from their review. For example:

• Positive Review: “Thank you, [Customer Name], for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you loved our mango shave ice. We hope to see you again soon!”
• Negative Review: “We’re sorry to hear about your experience, [Customer Name]. This isn’t the standard we strive for. Please contact us at [Email/Phone] so we can make it right.”Include

Use Keywords Incorporate relevant keywords in your responses to boost SEO. For instance, if you’re located in Madison County, you might say, “Thank you for visiting the best shave ice spot in Madison County!”
Dealing with Negative Reviews
Stay Calm and Professional It’s essential to stay calm and professional when responding to negative reviews. Acknowledge the issue, apologize if necessary, and offer to resolve it offline. This demonstrates to potential customers that you care about resolving issues.
Learn from Feedback Negative reviews can provide valuable insights into areas where you can improve. Use this feedback constructively to enhance your business operations and customer service.
Leveraging Free Tools and Platforms
Google Business Profile Features Google provides several free tools to help you manage your reviews. For instance, you can generate a review link directly from your GBP. Explore these features and make the most of them before considering paid solutions.
POS Systems and Email Campaigns If you use a POS system like Square, you can use customer contact information to solicit reviews. Send follow-up emails or texts with the review link, making it easy for customers to leave feedback.
Final Thoughts Optimizing Google reviews for your shave ice business can significantly enhance your online presence, attract more customers, and boost your local SEO. Remember to keep your Google Business Profile updated, actively solicit reviews, and respond promptly and thoughtfully to customer feedback. By implementing these strategies, you’ll be well on your way to building a strong, trustworthy online reputation.

This post is to find the name of a SELLER of safe fish. Not the type of fish, or the requirements (those are all included in the FDA code cited)

It seems so simple. With so many sushi creators around. Big chain and small stores. But when asked about "what raw salmon to buy" no one can name their supplier. Even in the comments, we don't see that result either.

A direct LINK to the product would be greatly appreciated!

Even costco, who sells Sushi, doesn't use the salmon they sell on the floor in their Sushi. When asked who supplies their fish for the Costoco Sushi, it's a global supplier who doesn't deal to customers spending less than a few grand.
So my question is: What name band, found in general US stores, Salmon or Tuna is safe to eat raw. (There's no such thing as 'sushi grade).
I've literally called every sushi store in over 100 mile radius, and no one can provide a name of a fish supplier, who freezes their fish (or harvests their fish from a farm) as per FDA code 3-402.11 and .12.
We know this law is followed, but finding supplies of the fish, has been impossible for me, and everyone I've asked (as I'm sure many comments will resolve to "Just trust 'em" "Been safe for me." heh, we're looking for a paper trail mates!)
Thank you for your leads!

Maybe it was how my schools taught it, but I really struggled to engage with it or feel passionate in it ever since middle school.
I was always an artist by heart who loved the creative field and so I never really felt math was relevant to that, until I became a working professional in animation and hard pressed to not see it contributing amazingly to the production of animated films, especially the crossover between coding, math, and a creative brain are some of the wizards behind Pixar's most largest technical achievements, and many other studios. I work as a lighting/compositing artist in Animation so it's really cool to see how math even plays a role in how light bounces and the physics behind it.
For instance, some of the more recent animation films that are more stylized use 3D tools to help place brushstrokes on a surface and vary its color and rotation, and use terminology like "ground truth" to help it work. That's all I really understand about that part, it also involves sometimes triplanar projection of textures, matrices, and other math things!
I'm only just starting to explore it again now, to see where I can best learn it again and start to use it to help me solve fun things!

Let me preface this post by saying I have nothing to sell, and no interest in the product I'm using. I have early access and am looking to the community to help me think of some obvious things I may not be thinking of to maximize this tool:
I am one of the early access/beta testers for a tool called "My Link My Lead".
My Link My Lead allows agents to share property search and listing URLs via their personalized links, so they can gain leads that are brought in through their sharing.
I essentially have a nationwide MLS that has more MLS's participating than Zillow and therefore more listings available. I can create links by state, city, zip code, you name it.
There is a built in tool as well where the moment I have a lead I can select an agent off of the software and it auto generates an e sign referral document for that agent and state and literally within 30 seconds I can send a referral agreement out with a few clicks of a button and have them locked in with the lead.
I have started off by selecting a few markets and joining Facebook "bargain"/"yard sale" type of groups and posting links to properties, and not just single properties but often times a list of "homes for sale that qualify for $0 down" or "Homes under 400,000 in xx school district" because I can generate leads off of social better than most agents I know of.
​
Other than Facebook Realtor business page and posting to bargain groups, what are some ways I can use this to generate more out of market leads? I have a pretty large referral network already so generating leads in any market is super beneficial and I want to maximize!

When I first began building my own small startups I used to just focus on building things I thought were interesting. I'm a software engineer by trade so I liked building and coding in general, however that led to a few startups that went nowhere. It turned out I thought they were interesting and other people couldn't have cared less, who knew.
It's all a part of the process though. Failing and learning, failing and learning, failing and learning.
Through all the failing I learned that the best way to gauge if a startup idea has any chance of success is if there is SEO potential. This means that if I can target keywords around my startup idea then I know I have a chance to get customers and earn money because people are searching for the specific keywords. The key is to find startup ideas where you can target keywords that have a low keyword difficulty (this means it will be easy to start ranking in the top 10 on Google search) and a high search volume (this means people are currently searching for it).
So here's an idea I came across that fits the bill and a couple of keywords you can target for it.

What's the idea?

Podcast Transcription Translation Service
"A service that not only transcribes podcast episodes but also offers translation into multiple languages. This helps podcasters reach a global audience and expand their listener base beyond language barriers."

What's the SEO Potential?

Check this article out to find out why this is important.
It's pretty good to be fair. We have 2 keywords that have a low difficulty with 1 having a huge 2900 people searching for it on Google every month (the other with a very respectable 480 people searching for it). And those numbers are in the US alone so the potential for search volume worldwide is huge.

• Keyword: podcast transcription
  • Keyword Difficulty: 18
  • Average Search Volume: 2,900 per month
• Keyword: transcribe podcast
  • Keyword Difficulty: 18
  • Average Search Volume: 480 per month

What do you need to build it?

For this one you will need an API to retrieve podcast transcripts (Check out podscan.fm, it could be the perfect tool for this) or else you could get the audio from the podcasts and use AI to transcribe them (Whisper from OpenAI would be a good solution for this). Then you can use AI to translate the transcripts into whatever languages you want.
So there you go. A nice micro saas product that you could start ranking in the top 10 on Google for pretty easily. It could definitely be extended into a full saas too with a few more features. Build it, ship it, launch it, promote it, add it to directories and you could soon start ranking high in Google for it and have those 1000 people see it every month.
What do you think? Has it got legs? I definitely think so.
I share startup ideas like this every week in my newsletter so join me here if this is your type of thing.

Ivaxa has been well known for his high BPM stream plays along with his obscene singletapping skills over the course of a few weeks at the time of writing. His most notable achievement is his S rank on Deceit [pishi’s Extra] +DT (Score) (Replay). However there is some unusual behavior that Ivaxa has that should be looked into. This thread will look into quite a few cases of these weird findings.
As of the current date, May 16th, 2024, we have collected enough information to submit our public review of Ivaxa’s activity. We are asking the osu! staff and other independent researchers to validate our information and proof-check every single aspect of it. If our findings would be proven to be incorrect and/or not substantial - that's completely fine. Our goal is not to just blindly accuse but to establish the truth.
This document contains currently collected information about Ivaxa, his scores, profiles, and potential connections to other “alt” accounts in the game. We, as an independent team, are trying to establish the legitimacy or lack thereof of said player.
As always, harassment of any of the people mentioned/involved in the report is inappropriate. Please be civil when partaking in the discussion.
Replays, and VODs can be found in a google drive at the end of the thread so you can investigate and see moments listed in the thread yourself.
But first, here's a few things to consider:

1. Ivaxa’s mouse is a HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2, he allegedly plays on 800 DPI with a 0.62x sens multiplier on osu!. The only reason as to why it’s alleged is because of his recent streams, his sensitivity seems higher than it actually is.
2. He plays with a Sayu O3C keypad that runs at 8000hz (Peripheral information can be found from Ivaxa’s Twitch channel.)
3. He is able to singletap 191 BPM streams consistently.
4. Ivaxa used to be a DT aim player, not much of a stream player until recently.
5. The player does have skill, however he may be using some sort of outside assistance software-wise like aim assist or relax hacks.
6. All replays in this thread were inspected using Circleguard.
7. Most of the information down below was conducted in the empirical (perceived) sense, so take all of it with a grain of salt.

Section one: Replays

There are a few moments within Ivaxa’s recent replays that felt unusual or very strange; mostly unusual edge hits, but also weird UR bar behavior.
The Deceit +DT
There are a few things to mention about this score. The first is an unusual UR bar behavior from 91076 ms (~1 minute 31 seconds) to 93123 ms (~1 minute 33 seconds). The UR bar looks like this in the end. This type of UR bar behavior is often found in 125 hz keyboards with a map that has a BPM that is a multiple of 125 (125 BPM, 250 BPM, 375 BPM, etc.). However, Ivaxa doesn’t use a 125hz keyboard or keypad, he uses one that is rated at 8000hz. This is rather unusual since this type of UR is only found in this section of the map only. Also, if he were to play on a 125hz keyboard/keypad, the type of UR that was shown above would be all over the map since the Deceit with DT is mostly 375 BPM.
The second would be his aim, particularly at around 1885 combo, his cursor shakes at an abnormal magnitude from the rest of the map. This shake can be caused by nerves, tapping strain of the left hand, or a mix of both. But, Ivaxa’s alleged sensitivity is so low that the shake that has been shown in the replay is either really hard to do or impossible.
Gotta go Fast +DTSO
This score has one thing that is quite suspicious. at 47582 ms (~48 seconds) into the map, an awkward edge hit is found where he over-aimed and seemingly snapped back to the circle. This kind of edge hit is something that a normal osu! player wouldn’t be able to hit entirely, especially at the speed at which the map is being played at. Another edge hit can be found in the same map at 28852 ms (~29 seconds), where the cursor doesn’t naturally curve at the end, instead snapping to the edge of the circle. Both cases may allude to the usage of some sort of aim assist.
Metal Crusher +DT
There are two things to note about this score, the first is some unusual cursor movement at the ending section of the map. Ivaxa’s cursor slightly follows the slider at 59128 ms (~59 seconds), and another right after at 60400 ms (~one minute). Movement like this paired with the speed at which the map is being played at just seems unusual/suspicious.
There are also five edge hits within the map, four out of the five edge hits are at the very edge of a circle. The probability of hitting these types of edge hits is rather low, especially when there are four of them in one map.
Edge Hit #1: https://i.imgur.com/g3VlDoz.png

Edge Hit #4: https://i.imgur.com/nJyVbiq.png
Edge Hit #5: https://i.imgur.com/MN9MfwN.png
Sendan Life +DTHD
There is something to be said about some of the 100’s that Ivaxa is hitting. More specifically some 100’s within a few of the maps that have been observed so far are very near the barrier of being a 300 hit regardless of whether the note is early or late (https://i.imgur.com/cxFSdjf.png, https://i.imgur.com/bHLurZn.png). The sayu is precise enough to actually hit these types of 100’s, however it feels like these have occurred too often, so much so that this play has half of the 100’s in the map has these “edge 100’s,” for a lack of a better term. There are also two 100’s (100 #1 and 100 #2) that have been hit at exactly the same lateness/timing.

Section Two: Twitch Streams

The two pieces of information down below are more focused on his single tapping skills, along with some weird/suspicious moments during his stream.
Stream title: #18 #2PL we back boys PL/ENG
At 15:37, Ivaxa is seen to be double tapping 270 bpm streams even though he S ranked the Deceit with DT around three days after said stream (390 BPM). At 49:15 mins of the same stream: he is seen to singletap 191 BPM streams, probably because he was warm when playing at his point.
Stream title: #17 #2PL Yomi yori 3 mod pass happening right now wtf,
On March 31st, 2024, on the VOD where he S ranked The Deceit +DT, at the end of the VOD at 2:58:42 Ivaxa is seen singletapping a 390 BPM burst. After which he paused the game and blamed Steam notifications. Despite the bottom half of his monitor being visible on stream through the webcam, where no steam notifications or pop-ups are visible, he then opened Steam to "change notifications settings.'' After allegedly changing the settings, his cursor trajectory on the visible parts of the monitor on stream tells us that he moved the mouse from the top most left corner, while usually Steam settings are located in a pop-up window at the center of the screen. Afterwards His stream allegedly "crashed."
To see the moment, play the following .mp4 file: 20240331 #17 #2PL Yomi yori 3 mod pass happening right now wtf Part 3 and go to the near end.
Stream title: #9 #2PL if i want to i'll farm req closed
On April 7th, 2024 Ivaxa showed on the osu! Game discord server that he is able to singletap 191 BPM (better picture of the graph), however six days later after the message, on his stream on April 13th, 2024 Ivaxa showed that he was able to singletap PoNo’s Yomi Yori 220 BPM streams at the end. This type of BPM jump in such a short amount of time can only be reasoned with by hardware abuse via rapid trigger. Either that, or some sort of relax hack that assists the player in tapping.

Section Three: Multiaccounting

There are many pieces of information that suspect that Ivaxa is multiaccounting, however there is currently no concrete evidence on whether or not he is indeed multiaccounting. Please keep this in mind when reading this section of the thread.
The Mulitiaccount & Play Count Graphs
Pipecat is the suspected multiaccount. First of all, both Pipecat and Ivaxa are placed 1st and 2nd on the osu!mania leaderboard in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland (This is done by using osu! subdivide nations). Both play count graphs also seem to compensate for each other as of 2024, April 4th (the graph for Ivaxa has been warped in order to have a better visualization).
Time-pp Scatter Chart & Best Performances
The same thing happens with their Best Performance Time-pp Scatter Chart from ameobea/osu!track (Pipecat's Mania Chart and Ivaxa's Mania Chart non warped). Both graphs seem to compensate for each other, especially at around the month of March, as of 2024, April 5th (again, Ivaxa's chart has been warped for better visualization of score submissions).
Speaking of pp, both accounts have similar maps in their best performances list (Ivaxa is on the left, Pipecat on the right). If you want to see more, just check their mania profiles.
This may ask the reason as to why Ivaxa hasn’t played any vsrg (Vertical Scrolling Rhythm Game), and yet his performance in mania is abnormal for his time played. As seen from the play count graph from above, Ivaxa would’ve most likely played mania first on the Pipecat account, and then proceeded to play mania again on the other.
Names/Naming Scheme & Last Seen
Their naming scheme can also be taken into account as, Ivaxa’s name was inspired by Vaxei, and Pipecat was inspired by Whitecat.
It is also worth noting that Ivaxa and Pipecat’s Last Seen times are near each other, being more or less one hour apart from each other.

Section Four: Misc, additional “facts,” and Speculations

This section is dedicated to the additional miscellaneous information and our speculation formed from the data we discovered during the process of the investigation. These entries are not verbosely written due to us not finding enough evidence/information to make them included in the previous sections.
For ease of understanding the entry's level of absurdity, we marked them with color tags. The marking process for each entry was completely subjective so even the most absurd ones could be a potential aid for independent investigators/osu! staff as an additional lead where we “hit the wall.”
Fact: Could be used as a potential lead
Fact + Assumption: Not substantial enough to be included in previous sections/Assumption
Pure Speculation: Completely speculative fact/information
Fact: BayOfEvil (Ivaxa’s old username), does have an osu!report on it, although the report isn’t very helpful. One of the thread's replies includes a Discord recording with Ivaxa playing as “proof” of him being legit. This should be investigated further (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVQDdw1SSLs).
Fact: Ivaxa’s Mania score on Ne uchi +DT was set 22 days after his no-mod score.
Fact: In Pipecat's osu profile a discord server can be found (https://discord.gg/jkMydV3PTB), upon searching "Ivaxa" the only two mentions of the name is from the user Pipecat (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/577365869949354025/1225631393820708914/image0.jpg?ex=6621d52f&is=660f602f&hm=e3589cb93e9ffb2b7c0ef7ffbdedcc3b09df919a7082d11468035ff4f4f6e65e&).
Fact: Guitar to Kodou to Aoi Hoshi: Edge hit at the very edge at 202358 ms (~3 minutes 22 seconds) (https://i.imgur.com/PAWsyh7.png) Similar to the edge hit on FUCK YOU.
Fact + Assumption: FUCK YOU: Very erratic cursor movement at 4485 ms (~4.5 seconds) (https://i.imgur.com/mkRw4Ki.png) combined with his sensitivity and the map’s speed, this is basically impossible. Also he's been under-aiming a lot in this map but that might just be me. There is also an edge hit at the very edge at 60301 ms (~1 min) (https://i.imgur.com/GFxZctS.png), which can be questioned.
Fact + Assumption: Gotta go Fast HDDTHR: The UR bar is acting the same way that was observed with the deceit score from above (Gotta go Fast: https://i.imgur.com/ywA8XAu.png, Deceit: https://imgur.com/cbUtzya). With both maps being 375 BPM with DT, Ivaxa may or may not have used the same method of cheating if he is.
Fact + Assumption: Stream title: #18 #2PL we back boys PL/ENG, at 15:37 mins, Ivaxa is seen to be double tapping 270 bpm streams even though he S ranked the Deceit with DT around three days after said stream (390 BPM).

Pure Speculation: During a congregation, several people have noted/proposed that Ivaxa may or may not be using three keys in order to stream higher bpm’s, using a software that alternates the middle key (since he plays ring-index) between key 1 and key 2 to insure that nothing is suspicious with his tapping count.
Pure Speculation: We condone an anonymous survey inside the mania community, including some of the top players, regular 4k, 7k, and 8k players, and some tournament organizers. Most of the participants agree that Ivaxa’s progression and improvement curve is abnormal.
Pure Speculation: Stream title: #18 #2PL we back boys PL/ENG, within the first hour of the stream, Ivaxa is seen to have completely lost his aim (44:46 min), even though he nearly fc'd Brazil on Fiery's Extreme with HDHRDT ten days prior to the stream. Although this evidence may not be as substantial as the others because of retry spamming Brazil.
Pure Speculation: The earliest known screenshots of Ivaxa grinding The Deceit Pishi's Extra, was on 2023, December 22nd (https://twitter.com/Ivaxaosu/status/1738245663631024453, https://twitter.com/Ivaxaosu/status/1738268599129632811, He later achieved an S rank on 2024, March 31st. He would've grinded the map for the past 3 months, however his play count seems to not reflect the grind, only having 237 plays as of 2024, April 5th (https://i.imgur.com/dg4HdSl.png).
Pure Speculation: https://youtu.be/Isp233epRAA the hands, and tapping technique may be similar to Ivaxa.
Pure Speculation: Potential lead/connection between Ivaxa and Pipecat could be found via steam accounts.
Ivaxa’s has two steam accounts (Both Steam profiles were sent to aknzx at one point):

• Main account https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199027517248
• Alt (thanks for Ivaxa posting it on one of the discord servers) https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199081700184
  • Has a VAC ban on it
• Pipecat’s steam account:
  • “Main account” https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199389486073

Pure Speculation: Additional platforms related to Pipecat:

• Their youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@pipe_cat (We tried to use it compare Ivaxa’s voice and Pipecat’s voices already, not enough information)
• Their GD (GeometryDash) profile: https://gdbrowser.comNotPipeCat

Pure Speculation: Pipecat’s Windows username https://imgur.com/a/DCgtC82 (from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNTTpSl1hHo ) If it could be proven that Ivaxa’s real name is Krzys, it could be a potential lead (despite it being a very popular name in Poland).
Pure Speculation: Pipecat is recording videos on his Youtube channel using both a PC and a Laptop. The PC is running Windows 11, and the Laptop is running Windows 10. This Could be a potential lead.

Verdict

Ivaxa’s single tapping speed is very abnormal, especially considering that he was able to stream 220 BPM in just six days, starting from 191 BPM, all singletapped. His aim on some maps feels weird, and some edge hits are questionable in terms of legitimacy. The incident on his stream on March 31st of this year also felt suspicious and weirdly timed, as if he was covering something up. And Pipecat’s graphs line up in such a way that it seemingly compensated for Ivaxa’s play count, and pp-scatter chart. From the information that was gathered about Ivaxa, there is a likelihood that the player is cheating, via aim assist, partial relax, or a mix of both.
It is suggested/encouraged that you look into this yourself.

Files and Documents

For Ivaxa stream mp4’s, each “part” is in one hour segments (because untwitch). So part 1 would be the first hour of a stream, part 2 would be the second hour of a stream, etc. There are some parts where it didn’t download the full hour, so be aware of that.
We’ve also included one of the “VOD analyzer” test result files, which includes cursor positions from an analyzed stream segment (#11 #2PL 1.3k pp achieved). It was a completely custom-coded solution that analyzed the video frame by frame but it wasn’t used during the investigation, so we are unsure about the accuracy of the cursor detection.

Hi fellow Endeavouronauts!
I'm running EndevourOS and set up my system 100% by following the ArchWiki and using the bundled graphical EOS installer. I’m using KDE Plasma on Wayland. My laptop’s model is ASUS ROG Strix G17 G713QR-ES96. I have provided the output of lsusb down below:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0b05:1866 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. N-KEY Device Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 003: ID 13d3:3563 IMC Networks Wireless_Device Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub 

Everything seems to be working fine except for the keyboard backlight. The backlights do work. But sometimes, after waking up from suspend, when I turn the backlight brightness up, only a few keys light up. Others remain off no matter what I do. I have also observed that the few aforementioned keys that light up are the same ones. The problems does persist after a suspend or a reboot. But a cold boot seems to fix the issue so far.
I have tried everything listed on the Keyboad Backlight ArchWiki page and the problem still persists. The issue seems to occur randomly at times. Can’t find a solid way to reproduce it.
Here's the output of # systemctl status keyboard-brightness.service, as instructed in ArchWiki:

How can I solve this problem and make my keyboard backlight reliable? I don’t know exactly what information or logs to provide, so let me know if anything is required.
