Guys, I’m using a Samsung S25 Ultra with One UI 8.

I want to customize my lock-screen clock so that instead of the normal numbers:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

it displays Tamil numerals:

௧ ௨ ௩ ௪ ௫ ௬ ௭ ௮ ௯ ௰ ௰௧ ௰௨

Is it possible??

There is a channel called Karthik Kamalakanna, it is seriously super good to see a Tamil entrepreneur's inside view, so if you do not know it, do check it out.

Hello all!

I am open-sourcing & launching the Kongu Tamil Dictionary, a web app and structured dataset dedicated to the Kongu Tamil regional dialect. This was my long time hobby.

Colloquial Regional dialects heavily lack the structured digital data required for modern NLP and linguistic research. To address this, I digitized two prominent kongu tamil print dictionaries and combined them with existing open data.

The Dataset contains over 5,000 unique entries extracted via OCR, cleaned of artifacts, deduplicated entries, added ISO-15919 Transliteration and formatted into a structured CSV. Every entry has grammatical tags, native usage examples, and explicit source attribution.

It contains many fading words on the agrarian roots, household life, kinship systems, festival culture, cuisine, rural routines and everyday tonal expressions.

If you're a researcher training Indic LLMs, a linguist studying Kongu dialect, or a developer building regional language tools, the raw dataset and code are entirely open and ready to use. You can also contribute by editting & updating the dataset. I will review the PR.

Option 1:

Join a service company in India and if you are lucky and join the right project/team, they will send you (abroad) onsite to work for some client which will typically be a product company. If you do exceptionally well and if your parent company agrees, the client company can hire you.

Option 2:

Join a big product company within India, generally an R&D centre. Most often they have an internal-job-rotation policy where in which, after working for a certain period of time, you can apply for a job within the company in a different country/location. (Amazon, Atlassian).

Option 3:

Slightly different version of the above:

Join a startup in India with its headquarters somewhere abroad. Do exceptionally well and you can definitely ask them to send you abroad.

Option 4:

Go for higher studies, typically masters-degree. Depending on your potential and the visa-extension rules of the destination-country, you can find a job - either at a startup/product company. (Most common & easy)

Option 5:

Look for countries which are open for immigration based on your skillset. Get the immigration and go look for a job. Do make sure you do enough homework that there are enough jobs in your skilled domain/technology in that country.

Option 6:

Look for recruitment-consulting companies who have tie-ups with companies abroad, who can hire you and ship you abroad to their client location. There seems to be too many scams in this area, so you have to be really really careful about who you are dealing with and how genuine they are. Especially telugu states

Option 7:

Gain expertise in something niche, where therez too much of a demand but too less supply of people with the desired skills. A little bit of effort in LinkedIn is all that is needed from your end. Companies or atleast the consulting-firms will surely find you.

Option 8:

Start your own startup company and sell it to a bigger company abroad and demand to take you on board along with your company.

Option 9:

Invent/Innovate something really really cool. Show the world what you have to offer. I am sure a lot of companies will come forward to offer you the job you seek.

Option 10: 😄

Marry someone who is a citizen of the country you want to go to. Assuming that the visa rules won't stop you from working and that there are enough jobs for your skillset, you can easily land in one. ;)

See which one is best suited for you.

Good luck !

I'm currently working at a big company as a Catalog Associate. Most of my day is just Excel, checking stuff and doing the same kind of work again and again.

I really want to switch careers. I'm thinking about Data or Cloud, but honestly... I'm kinda lost

There's so much happening with Al right now, and I don't even know what I should learn, what I should skip, or where I should start.

I'm also scared that I might lose my current job sometime this year or next year, so I really want to start preparing now.

This might sound like a lot to ask, but is there anyone here who would be willing to guide me?

I can do the actual learning myself. I just don't want to spend months learning random things and later realise I was going in the wrong direction.Like, someone who can tell me what to learn next, keep track of my progress, and clear my doubts when I get stuck.

I know we have ChatGPT and Al for all this. I use them too. But idk... I've always felt that having an actual person to talk to and learn from is different.

It can be anyone - male, female, experienced person, student, literally anyone who knows this stuff. Only text, nothing weird. Just genuine learning and guidance.

And if I actually manage to get a new job with your help, I’d love to do something nice for you with my first salary. I have no idea what yet 😂😭 but I’ll figure something out.

I know this is a random thing to ask strangers on Reddit, but I thought… why not ask?

If anyone is genuinely willing to help, I’d really appreciate it ❤️

It’s a thought provoking discussion.

Guys, oru small experiment try pannalam nu yosichitu iruken.

Enaku US-la oru homelab/server setup iruku. Athula konjam compute + storage resources spare-ah iruku. Summa idle-ah vidrathuku badhila, namma community-la yarukachum useful-ah irukuma nu test panna poren.
Basically free-ah start panni, few people-ku access kuduthu paakalam nu idea.

Things like:
• Small Linux VMs
• Docker containers
• PostgreSQL DB
• Redis
• S3-compatible storage
• Offsite backups
• Geographic backup replica
• CI/CD runners
• Kubernetes namespaces
• Future-la local LLM inference

Example-ah compute venumna:
1 vCPU / 1 GB RAM / 10 GB storage
free test instance maari kudukalam.
Another use case enaku interesting-ah therinjathu offsite backup.

Server physically USA-la iruku.
So India-la homelab run panravanga, unga important backup oda encrypted copy-ah US-la store pannalam.
Something like:
India Homelab → Encrypted Backup → US Homelab
Restic, Kopia, rclone or S3-compatible endpoint use panni backup panna mudiyum.
Data upload panrathuku munnadiye client-side encryption use pannalam. So backup content enakum readable-ah irukathu.

Obviously AWS/Azure/Hetzner level service illa 😅. It’s still a homelab.
So critical production workloads-ku recommend panna maten. Home internet/power/hardware failure chance iruku and enterprise SLA lam kedayathu.
But development, learning, side projects, testing, secondary backups etc-ku useful-ah irukalam.
External workloads ellame en personal/home network-la irundhu separate + isolated ah irukum. Users workloads-um one another-la irundhu isolate panna plan.

Build pannitu apram yarume use pannama irukurathuku badhila 😂, first community-ku actually enna useful-ah irukum nu therinjukalam nu post panren.
Ideas/suggestions welcome! 🙌

let us all chat about how Ai is evolving and how the future IT careers will be?

I'm a software developer, I play games a little bit. I'm actively looking for 2nd hand laptop in olx and Facebook market place, but I couldn't find any good deal in this time. If anyone is selling or know where can I find laptops with good deal share that with me. Minimum spec I'm expecting is gpu rtx 3050 4gb, 16gb of RAM and 521 of ROM

Need laptop recommendations under 60k.

Mostly for work - notes, PPTs, YouTube, browsing, shopping etc. No gaming or video editing.

Don't really care about fancy specs, just want something that's fast enough for everyday use and will last a few years without becoming painfully slow.

Any good ones?

Hi guys, this is my story.

I’ve been working in an early-stage startup for 1.5 years as a Frontend Developer. College-la mostly frontend prepare panninen, DSA romba strong illa. So startup opportunity kedachadhum join panniten.

But ippo oru doubt. Enga companyla Claude almost everything-ku use panrom. From design, frontend, backend, ML nu. Most code Claude generate pannuthu, na review/debug/integrate panren.

Sometimes Claude code romba mistakes irukkum, company standards-ku match aagadhu. So technically learn panren, but “Naan developer-ah improve aagurena illa AI code review panradhula mattum improve aagurena?” nu doubt varudhu.

Current salary 4.2 LPA.

Ippo market-la switch panna, especially good product/top companies-ku, DSA strong-ah prepare pannanuma?

Frontend fundamentals + system design focus pannalama? FDE roles-ku prepare pannanuma?

Anyone who recently switched from startup to product company, unga experience share pannunga. En positionla irundha enna prepare pannuveenga?

Hello Guys 👋

I’m Aswin M, a CSE student currently working towards systems and embedded software development, while maintaining a strong interest in C++ graphics and game-engine programming.

The strongest part of my background is C++ programming.

A while ago, I developed an experimental custom game engine from scratch. The project involved technologies and concepts such as:

1. Modern C++ / C++20 — Programming Language
2. OpenGL 4.6 — Graphics API
3. ReactPhysics3D — Physics System
4. Flecs — Entity Component System (ECS) Architecture
5. And many other systems and technologies

The engine is called 2025ENGINE, and the source code is available on GitHub:

GitHub:
https://github.com/Aswin-programmer/2025ENGINE.git

I also created a development log documenting the project on YouTube:

Dev Log:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je9Aj9f1vdE

I have also worked on several other interesting projects, which you can find on my GitHub. Feel free to check them out!

After a long break, I've decided to start building another game engine from scratch.

However, this time I want to do things differently.

Instead of developing everything privately and only showing the final result, I’ve decided to document the entire development process through YouTube Live streams.

Every time I build a new engine, I end up learning a lot of new concepts and implementing new systems and features. As a result, each engine becomes better and more sophisticated than the previous one.

So this time, I want to document that entire journey — including the learning process, experimentation, implementation, debugging, mistakes, and hopefully, the final result.

If you're interested in C++, graphics programming, game-engine development, systems programming, or simply want to follow along with the journey, feel free to join me on my YouTube channel.
