  @SmugFecundity @techsaleshackz One million paying customers narrows it down to only a handful of saas companies in the world. Something with that many customers is obviously mature and has a ton of smb business. Probably something like docusign or dropbox which I could totally see a 50 yo doing ok at.

  @Celeriumcore I see, thanks. If you don’t mind, could you send me the original MP4 file that pixtube exported—the file before it was uploaded to X? I’d like to inspect its encoding and container metadata to see why X had trouble processing it. A Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or WeTransfer link sent by DM would be perfect. Please send the original file without re-encoding it. No worries if that’s inconvenient!

  @RealRoseGoblin Do you have Dropbox? Of Google Drive? I am afraid with email I am super slow. If you have a personal phone, I have WhatsApp. I have learned to simply do everything publicly. Mostly to protect myself. Try to DM me your number. Happy to connect. If it is big, you should post it here, on IG, on TikTok… everywhere. •

  On Essentials plan. Ticket #26375062 top support evades the core issue by vaguely blaming my PC environment. I've already verified registry & OS. Stop dismissing verified technical logs and escalate this bug to the dev engineering team now. @DropboxSupport

  Here is what it breaks down: Local AI: Run Ollama, LM Studio, or LocalAI right on your machine instead of paying for ChatGPT. Cloud Storage: Replace Dropbox and Google Drive with Nextcloud or Syncthing so your files never leave your house. Network Privacy: Complete WireGuard and PiVPN setup guides for secure browsing. Private ***: Ditch GitHub and self-host your own repos using Gitea or GitLab.

  Google, Dropbox, and Apple are in trouble.. Someone open-source a tool that gives you unlimited cloud storage for free by using Telegram as the backend. Just log in with your Telegram ID and start uploading. → UNLIMITED storage → NO file size limits → NO subscription → NO credit card → Login in 3 seconds Google charges $120/year for 2TB. Dropbox charges $144. Apple charges $120. Telegram has been giving away infinity this whole time and you didn't know. Nobody can shut this down. 100% Open Source.

  🚨Your goal this week-DELETE your DIGITAL FOOTPRINT!🚨 Let me help you: ——————— ✅Purchase any 1TB-10TB SSD Storage (this is dependent on your needs) or RAID server (can be ridiculously expensive, DO NOT RAID your storage if you do not know how to build, transfer, and manage a RAID!) ✅Have additional SSD storage drives. ✅Download all your media (pic, music, documents, videos, files, etc.) from your cloud services (iCloud, Google Drive, Microsoft One, Dropbox, etc.) and store them onto your purchased/physical SSDs as a backup. ✅Permanently, DELETE all your downloaded media files from those cloud-based services. ✅Permanently, clear the trash can (recycle bin), delete your cookies, delete your cache. ✅Tech Experience: iOS 🚨Apple automatically creates backup copies of your files on your devices. 🚨Even after managing or deleting data, you often need to search deep into your file system to permanently delete these original Apple backups.🚨Media transfers to Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, etc.) take longer than expected because:✅iOS creates multiple versions of each file during the transfer: original media, optimized media (for better storage efficiency), and backup files.✅All of this processing happens in the background while the transfer is ongoing.🚨DELETE THOSE FILES! ✅Your physical storage (SSDs, NOT HHDs), should be in your “firebag” (emergency bag, in case of fire- to grab and exit immediately to safety), stored in a cool place in your home. ✅After, you do all these things, your cloud-based storages should be freed up! Take down your subscriptions to what you think you should use and afford without compromising finances and data. DO NOT up your online cloud-based storage into the 1TB range EVER again! Limiting yourself to 100-500GB of cloud-based storage will keep you in check to store things physically in your home instead of online (this is healthy for your mental and to safeguard yourself from yourself). 🚨RING Devices!: if you own any ring devices or any security monitoring devices- CREATE A STATIC (NOT DHCP), CLOSED-CIRCUIT environment! Use EVERY protocol and firewalls to maintain your integrity infrastructure. Remove all unrecognized IP devices from YOUR ENTIRE NETWORK! Use ENCRYPTIONS to securely lockdown your network! 🚨DO NOT create a “guest” profile! 🌟Sorry, I’m speaking “nerd” lol, I don’t have time to explain it in laymen’s terms.

  track back to just over a year to now. i'd built an automated ecommerce flow that took a whole store end to end. seo would research trends, products, and map those into .js scripts which would launch prompts that read those research files. that would feed an image gen prompt which created designs, set to specific standard. i'd generate them, and then ANOTHER prompt, would check the images, score them with a criteria, and either move them to an accepted folder, or move them to an archive folder. the accepted folders, would automatically fire a script which would open photoshop, map the image to smart layers, in a 'product shot' template i'd made, and then export all of the final product shots to another folder, and then exported the flat designs which would be used for the products. another script took the product images, did visual lookups, generated all product descriptions, renamed the images and generated the seo text. it ran optimizations locally via a jpegoptim and oxipng script. it then uploaded them to dropbox, and via API, would generate a dropbox link map. i had one barebones csv template, which i'd run a ps1 script through to map json files into the csv rows, and insert the dropbox link map. all my images, links, followed the exact same slugs, so it turned 2 hours of manual work into a 5 second bulk rename and insert. it then converted that csv into json, which then itself converted that json into ld-json for product rich listings. ai would write the product description based on a dataseo keywords, and googletrends json file that would run on every product type. collecting keywords for that specific product. it also formed it around brand profiles, copy guides and other things. this was sonnet 3 days, GPT 4.0 days, and it STILL wrote great copy when it had the right guidance. in the .js file, i'd replace all em dashes with a hyphen if they ever appeared. i built a custom product uploader, built my own php plugin which synced to local .js files and connected via rest. it was (and still is) one of the best wc product uploaders that exist, as it completely resets filterlookups only for that product, and is lightning fast because i upload it directly into woocommerce rows from json. no importers, no wordpress malarkey, or WC rest needed. it was 50x faster than wc's own CSV import. the images would be uploaded via ftp, and then on detection, would sync those to the media library, and i'd upload the image meta from the seo run, so they all had captions/alt text etc. it took what would be 3-5 hours of manual work per product, and congested it into a 2 minute image to fully live product system. after that, i'd export sales data, the ai was constantly learning, sales data feeding back to files, which would then teach the ai what products work, what doesn't. what copy worked, what copy didn't. that would then flow back into the original source files which told the ai what images to gen and what products to launch. all of it was local on my pc. i wasn't selling an saas. it was just something that worked for my very particular setup. the thing about it is; i built that mostly with GPT 4.0 and a little bit of 3.5! mostly copy and pasting code manually from the chats in chatGPT. all the plugins, the php, everything. then some of it got improved inside vscode back on the old original copilot plans, when $10 used to last you an entire month of none stop coding. this was before n8n, before agents were even a thing. all of that I built very specifically for myself, local, syncing folder to folder, json file to json file. python scripts watching files, and .ps1 files that would follow up with other .ps1 files, which launched .js files which contained prompts for AI, and hitting the openAI API's whenever I needed the AI layer. eventually i built a terminal tool, which would allow me to run the scripts from the terminal, and i'd manually type in the slugs for which products i wanted processed. all files would sit in specific folders, and scripts would do the rest. i was so excited about that, giving my terminal app a shortcut icon and putting it onto my taskbar. that was a year ago. fast forward to now. the game has changed so much. ANYTHING and i mean anything is possible now. people 'new' to codex, and CC etc don't know how good they have it. my advantage is that i have a year of scripts, a year of tools. i've laid the SYSTEMS in place, to fully map out entire features, precisely, and organized, and build out projects, in one hour, and have it implemented within the next. entire saas features - mousework. but i've had this ******* idea for so long, to build a fully automated, self learning ecom business, that launches products end to end based on it's own research, writing, and growth, but the complexity of it previously , and being busy with life, it never got finalized. the secret is i sync it via etsy too, but they're API keys take FOREVER to aquire, but built my own etsy system, product uploader, which runs across 7 different stores. however, now, i've finally been building the replacement for it. i'll be able to run that exact same system, except this time through a full app, with a canvas, and agent systems instead of .ps1 scripts. not to say i won't run scripts; they're an integral part of any automated workflow, but now it has superpowers, and it can do so so so much more. all the ideas I wanted to do, automated, fully, end to end. not only that, but i moved away from woocommerce entirely. instead i just built my own website builder, which is also fully automated end to end. my brand profiles, my artwork system? i'm still using those, just for more things. now i can launch 50 brands just like it, running the same system, all in about 5 minutes. whether it's saas, local service, or online ecom. i also built an ai automated ad builder. it takes my brands images, or generates images. i've got background removers, and full skills and agents which fully generate the ads for me. it mixes all that into seedance videos, and posts in logos etc. now i take those image/videos, and build instagram, tiktok, facebook vids, generate descriptions, and upload them automatically. it has an every growing library to source from, templates to use, and the system derives right with the websites, so all themes/styles match precisely to the brand. this is why it's so great building for yourself. the amount of reusability you get with it, the fact it's free forever, can never be beaten. none of these saas companies get it. and they're heading in the wrong direction. we could already DO half of what these companies are doing. my own personal SEO system, which i built for my automated web builder, is already 10x better than any yoast, rankmath etc. i skip expensive ahrefs, semrush, and just rebuild their services myself, using API, which is 100x cheaper. except this time it FEEDS my system, and i don't need to lay a finger on it. nobody cares about these little one off apps that won't exist in a year. they're either failing to see the future, or they're hoping for an early exit before they know the dominos start falling. and they don't get it. their 'app' is just a little tiny module in something that thinks bigger. people will want PRIVATE systems. all speaking to each other. not 1200 integrations and 1200 invoices to send to, that don't even have a ******* brain. i'm not selling anything yet. but if you're interested in seeing how i think about automation, then stay a while and listen. the tool i'm building will absolutely help you too. but i'll be honest. i'm actually quite scared to release it, solely down to how powerful it is. not many people do it like i do, and i'm finally on here to tell the world. if you're a cannabilistic, sick sadistic, son of *****, 666, you're in pain but you sit and stick with it, in the midst of business, then drop a you know what.

  @CantEverDie Keep making burner Gmail accounts and sign up for the free stuff. I jest, because that's terrible practice, although I did know an attorney IRL that would do that to daisy-chain those Dropbox sites. Infinite free storage, just in 2.5GB chunks.

  “consumer doesn't run on problems” 👏 Consumers will pay to be entertained. Businesses will pay to be productive. This is a lesson the tech industry is forced to learn every decade or so. Apple, Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, Dropbox, Evernote, Quip, AirTable, Trello, etc have all learned this the hard way. We saw it play out in crypto. Today it’s playing out in OpenAI vs Anthropic.
