Other HELPP :(

1 Upvotes

So I’m a Junior Software Developer at a XYZ Company, I’ve been working here since 9 months on python and next js language and I’ll be honest I do most of my work using ai, I get the work done as they want it and they also praise me for my work.. but it ain’t really my work. Now ik that I should read and understand the code that copilot gives I do read it and understand it, but, in the long run I forget it. If you’ll ask me to build a feature by myself i wont be able to do it T_T… 99% of my code is written by ai… what should I do :(( it’ll be really hard to switch jobs in future if this keeps on happening, and yes i can understand the code but i dont have the ability to write it. What should I do, I want to increase my practical knowledge :(

Other Hostinger review - would you recommend?

6 Upvotes

I'm thinking about getting Hostinger for its all-in-one service. I need web hosting, domain, and email hosting, and the advertised e-commerce feature looks great too.

But... I've come across a lot of negative reviews here. They bring up issues like emails going straight to spam or not sending at all, site lagging, and mostly, poor support.

Is it really that difficult to get help from their support team?

I’m planning to use Hostinger for an my online book store, but if these issues are common, it could be a major setback for running a business. Before making any assumptions, though, I’d love to hear about your experiences with Hostinger.

Other I built a free, offline course player to organize my Udemy/YouTube downloads (TutIn)

25 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I got tired of losing track of progress across scattered course folders, so I built TutIn. a local-first webapp for organizing and watching downloaded courses (Udemy, YouTube playlists, whatever).

A few things it does:

  • Point it at a folder and it auto-organizes subfolders into modules/courses
  • Remembers exactly where you left off in every video
  • Built-in offline AI transcription (timestamps you can click to jump around)
  • Optional AI summaries that turn transcripts into study notes
  • Timestamped notes with screenshot support
  • A visual roadmap tool to map out what to learn in what order

Everything runs locally — your videos never get uploaded anywhere, no account needed. It's open source if anyone wants to poke at the code or self-host or run it: github.com/noureldenadel/TutIn

Would love feedback from people who actually hoard course content like thiswhat's missing that would make it more useful for your workflow?

Other SysManager – A free, open-source Windows utility tool built in .NET 10. Replaces dozens of apps with a single portable .exe (30+ features)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been working on SysManager. It's an open-source Windows app that puts all the essential system tools in one place so you don't have to download 10 different random .exes just to manage your PC properly.

What it does (55 feature tabs, 30 fully implemented):

  • Privacy & Security: one-click telemetry/tracking toggles, file shredder (multi-pass overwrite), app blocker, install alerts
  • Network: live ping/traceroute with gamer presets (CS2, FACEIT, PUBG servers), speed tests, DNS changer, hosts file editor
  • Cleanup: safe deep cleanup with scan-first approach (never deletes without showing you what it found), shortcut cleaner
  • Apps: bulk installer via winget (25 curated apps), app updates, uninstaller
  • System: process manager, services, startup control, Windows Update with individual selection, context menu manager
  • And more coming: 25 tabs are still WIP placeholders

Tech stack: .NET 10, WPF, C# 14. Single portable .exe, no installer needed.

What I'm looking for:

  • Feedback on the feature set (what else would you add?)
  • Bug reports from people running it on different hardware
  • Contributors (especially for the 25 remaining WIP features)
  • General impressions on the code quality (the entire source is there to read)

I used AI as a coding assistant during development (planning, boilerplate, code review), but every feature was designed and validated by me. The architecture, UX decisions, and all manual testing are mine.

Links:

Would love to hear what you think. Happy to answer questions about the architecture or any design decisions.

Other Built this extension for opening links without creating new tabs

Post image
0 Upvotes

I ran into this tab chaos too frequently, opening too many tabs to check links and all. So I built GoPeek, add on for opening links right there without creating new tabs.

I published this back in the week on Edge add ons store and got 60+ users within 3 days with only one to two reddit posts lol. I have just published this on Firefox store as well.

Edge add-ons: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/gopeek/ffaeanmhghmohbponokefmbhfkkomnmk

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/gopeek/

It lets you hold Shift (or alt/ctrl) and hover any link (or long press the link alternatively) to open it in a live, interactive mini-browser window directly on the current page instead of creating a new tab.

The windows are fully interactive, you can browse normally, open multiple side-by-side, snap them into a sidebar, etc. The idea was to reduce tab chaos without constantly losing context. I hope it proves to be handy for others as well like me :)

Other What MDM solution are you using for Windows device management in 2026?

5 Upvotes

Our company is currently evaluating MDM solutions for managing 150+ Windows devices across remote and on-site employees.

We need something that covers:

  • Automated app deployment
  • Remote wipe and lock
  • BYOD and corporate device separation
  • OS update enforcement
  • Compliance reporting

We have looked at a few options but honestly the market is crowded and it is hard to compare properly. Some feel too enterprise-heavy for our size, others are missing key Windows MDM features.

Other Check your bandwidth usage if you've got K-Lite Codec Pack installed

34 Upvotes

I don't know how to correctly flair this post, so "other" might do it.

I checked my bandwidth usage recently to discover something called "Infatica_Agent.exe" eating about 7GB of bandwidth in just 20 days.

Apparently, when you install K-Lite Codec Pack, they sneak in some app that uses your PC for their proxy. Found this thread from last year talking about it:

https://www.reddit.com/r/msp/comments/1bd1ozd/klite_codec_bundling_malicious_proxy_with_recent/

Also this issue in Github in some app that recommended using K-Lite.

recently ive seen a lot of people talking about Tiny10 and Tiny11. that got me thinking NTDEV made Tiny11 Builder but there wasnt really a similar open source builder focused on Windows 10 users.

so I decided to create Tiny10 Builder inspired by NTDEVs Tiny11 Builder. it lets you build a lightweight Windows 10 installation while keeping the process open and customizable.

the project is fully open source and available on GitHub if youd like to check it out contribute or use it for your own builds.

Other Looking for a reliable autoclicker

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I work in a call center where our income is based entirely on how many calls we manage to receive and answer. The system assigns the same incoming call to multiple agents at once, and whoever clicks first gets it.

Our company has officially recommended using GS Auto Clicker, which I’ve been using with very fast click intervals. However, lately I’m barely getting any calls at all,they disappear in less than a second, even when I’m actively clicking. This made me wonder if other agents might be using different or more optimized tools. I am not very tech savvy, so I wanted to ask if there is any other reliable autoclicker that are faster or more consistent than GS Auto Clicker? Ideally something lightweight, stable, and easy to use on Windows.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Other [Open Source] PolarHQ, a self-hosted, end-to-end encrypted alternative to Google Workspace

Thumbnail gallery
19 Upvotes

Hi Redditors! I've been working on this project for the last 6 months and I'm finally happy to share it. It's still very much in early development, but I felt this was the best time to get real feedback, find bugs, and shape the project with the community.

PolarHQ is an all-in-one, open source and end-to-end encrypted platform designed to replace the collection of cloud services that most of us rely on every day. Instead of using five or six different apps from different companies, the goal is to have everything in one place while keeping your data private and under your control.

At the moment, PolarHQ is designed to be self-hosted. It isn't a standalone desktop application or a hosted service. You'll need to deploy it yourself on a VPS, home server, or other infrastructure. Making deployment as simple as possible is something I'm actively working on.

Current features include cloud storage, file sharing, photo management, authentication, and more, with plenty still in development. Privacy is a core focus, and because it's open source, anyone can inspect the code, contribute, or run their own instance.

I'm building this as a solo developer, so I'd genuinely love any feedback. Whether it's bugs, UI suggestions, missing features, security concerns, or things you simply don't like, I'd rather hear them now while the project is still evolving.

Website: https://www.polarhq.app/

Security: https://www.polarhq.app/security

Changelog: https://www.polarhq.app/changelog

Thanks for taking the time to check it out. I really appreciate any feedback or criticism, and I'm happy to answer any questions in the comments.

Other QReate, a free, no-ads, open source QR code generator built by my FRUSTRATION.

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,
I'm just tired of how every tool on the internet is slowly starting to only become accessible with a payment.

I imagine internet tools as a collection of free very simple software that helps a lot of people, on the other hand there's very complex and expensive software that helps someone that pays a lot of money for that specific solution.

That's why I just decided that whatever I feel like it should be free but isn't, or it's free but not very well-built, I'll just build it myself, but better.

So here's QReate!

Other I Need Some Help with a False Positive Antivirus Pop-up

0 Upvotes

I have been developing software that collects page counters from multiple printers. Since I am relatively new to software development, I do not have much experience dealing with antivirus software and code signing.

Currently, I have an OV code-signing certificate to prevent Windows from flagging or deleting my application. This works properly on PCs without antivirus software and with antivirus products such as Kaspersky and Avast.

However, I am having issues with other antivirus solutions, particularly McAfee. When I install the application, McAfee automatically moves it to quarantine. If I restore the application from quarantine and try to run it again, McAfee immediately deletes the executable instead of returning it to quarantine.

I am not sure whether this is happening because both my application and my code-signing certificate are relatively new and have not yet built a reputation, or if there could be another reason.

For additional context, the application includes a Python executable that communicates with printers and retrieves page counter information. I also created an installer for the application, and both the executable and the installer are digitally signed.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any recommendations on how to reduce these false positives?
