Voterr - Democratize Your Movie Nights (voterr.tv)

6 comments fedilink

I'm an unemployed software developer with some time to make things I've wanted to exist.

I just released a web app that lets you log in with your Plex account which imports the movies available in your library, create a voting session, and invite friends to vote on movies. When a movie gets votes from all your friends in the session, it is declared the winner and the session creator will get a link to open the movie in Plex.

I was tired of endlessly scrolling through my movie library whenever it was time to pick a movie. I think this will help.

Here are some screenshots

Voting Session

Check it out if you like the idea. You can reply here or DM if you run into any issues or have any ideas.

Some of my ideas for the next features to add:

Filter by watched/unwatched
Select genres for the voting session
Make popcorn

How big is your desk? by frank in c/[email protected]

I have a KVM switch so I can control my array of computers with one monitor setup. I have a normal desk and a big closet to house all the computers.

I was thinking the same. Let me interview non-management members of the team to see what working there is really like.

Similar story:

I was in Medellin, Colombia, outside of the football stadium, trying to see where the rest of our friends were at before heading inside. A guy came up and was saying he was a big fan of one of the teams playing. He lifted his shirt to show me a really shitty tattoo of the team logo. I noticed there was a knife in his wasteband, but I was distracted because I was looking for friends. He asked for me for money and I casually said, "No, Gracias." and walked away. He started yelling at me with a lot of fun Colombian bad words. I was wondering why he was so mad and as I was walking away, I realized he was trying to threaten me with the knife.

There were a lot of people around and police all around us. Really ballsy on his part for even attempting something like that there.

If I did that in a different situation, I probably would have been stabbed.

We've been on the verge of a recession for years. It's just called "life" now.

A billionaire wrote this letter to Google a year ago. How likely is that Google's layoffs and actions since then are at least partly because of this? by frank in c/[email protected]

TL; DR We're making a lot of money, but we could be making more if we fuck over 120,000 people that built the thing that is making money.

Remote work is still 'frustrating and disorienting' for bosses, economist says—their No. 1 problem with it is how difficult it is to observe and monitor employees by frank in c/[email protected]

I managed a support team of about 30 people at a fully remote company. I'd check their numbers of closed cases, review cases when customer feedback was bad, and take into account any other side projects they were working on.

Praise when people did good and have one on one talks with people that were falling behind to see what the cause was so we could work on it. It's not that hard.

I pay for a seed box that is powerful enough to run a Plex server and comes with 8TB of storage for a little more than a Netflix subscription. I'll stick with that.

WEB-DL Quality Question by frank in c/[email protected]

My guess is the source file is the same sorce file, but some groups process the file to cut down the file size.
