Delete unused or obsolete files when your changes make them irrelevant (refactors, feature removals, etc.), and revert files only when the change is yours or explicitly requested. If a git operation leaves you unsure about other agents' in-flight work, stop and coordinate instead of deleting.
Before attempting to delete a file to resolve a local type/lint failure, stop and ask the user. Other agents are often editing adjacent files; deleting their work to silence an error is never acceptable without explicit approval.
NEVER edit .env or any environment variable files—only the user may change them.
Coordinate with other agents before removing their in-progress edits—don't revert or delete work you didn't author unless everyone agrees.
Moving/renaming and restoring files is allowed.
ABSOLUTELY NEVER run destructive git operations (e.g., git reset --hard, rm, git checkout/git restore to an older commit) unless the user gives an explicit, written instruction in this conversation. Treat t

Installing PostgreSQL 13 on QNAP for Davinci Resolve

This guide aims to provide an updated overview on installing PostgreSQL 13 within a QNAP NAS for use as a database inside Davinci Resolve.

The previous guide(s) created by QNAP are somewhat irrelevant as Davinci Resolve, Container Station and QTS/QuTS have since undergone major upgrades.

These original guides are linked below for reference:

Notes on this tweet.

The screenshots were taken on different sessions.
The entire sessions are included on the screenshots.
I lost the original prompts, so I had to reconstruct them, and still managed to reproduce.
The "compressed" version is actually longer! Emojis and abbreviations use more tokens than common words.

Update 2025-07-16: Use either Revanced, NewPipe or Firefox with add-ons. Revanced is my personal pick, due to it being a mod of the official App like Vanced, but better (e.g. it has integration of Sponsor Block, Return YouTube Disklike and more).

I wouldn't recommend Kiwi Browser anymore as it has been discontinued. AFAIK it has been accuired by Microsoft and the extension support has been merged into Edge (Canary). But you'd have to use Edge. Yuck.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
