In case anybody does, I'll just leave my problem here: I am doing something that's basically the exact same as when you set up the search in the Tour of Heroes. Same damn code, set up a subject w/switchMap on search terms to a service method that returns an Observable<Stuff[]>, then run that all into a local var and pipe that through `async` pipe in the template.

You go to type, nothing happens. No errors, no nothing. Adding `console.log()` calls makes it seem like the Subject's `next()` method is getting called, but nothing is happening.

I am staring dumbfounded at my Tour of Heroes code that works fine, and it's the same exact thing.

Only difference I can see is ToH is calling from In Mem. Web API, and I am calling out to a PHP script that is pulling from a real database.

But the service method that actually pings that PHP script is never getting called.

This is BS.

use Vue or react

problem solved!!!!!!!

Fork off.

lol

im reading the problem

but this is the exact reason im so turned off from angular

Looks like `next()` is returning undefined.

sounds like an architecture issue that would be hard to guess at

yea log everything between the user and where the url call is ordered to see what is not being called

Well I traded one problem for another. Fixed the issue with the call not firing, now I got some other weird error.

The thing is, I'm sure whatever it is is a simple fix, it's just that the stack trace is pointing to library files instead of my code, so it's useless.

Question about online security and doxxing prevention. A friend of mine accidentally had his work phone logged into the company WiFi, while downloading a file from TRS. He said his work email is connected to his phone. Should he be worried? If so, how much?

Not at all. It's not a good practice, but network admins are so flooded with traffic they aren't going to be able to single it out, especially from a mobile device over wifi. Tell him not to worry one bit, but to refrain from doing that.

I will let him know. Thanks!

Not a problem, that's taken from my years of working for two big evil, corporations, my two year degree in IT-Sec, and the fuck-ups I've done like that.

lol. I hear that.

Tell him to get a VPN to mask his traffic.

But yeah, unless the network admins are actively looking for "problematic" web surfing, there should be no problem. Typically if they are concerned with the web traffic, it's about time-wasters like reddit.

In the past, I was pretty reckless and listened to alt right YouTube videos from my work pc, with the headphones on at least.

What is a good VPN?

someone call James alsup

@Rick Strongly advise you just use your phone instead. Not worth the risk. A lot of workplaces automatically block or flag VPN/tunneling sites.

oh. i no longer do that at work. just wonder for private life.

also. a few months ago, there was a link to an article on how to avoid being doxxed. does anyone still have it?

Nevermind, I found it: https://redice.tv/news/how-to-not-get-doxed

@Rick A good VPN is one that allows payment in bitcoin, has many servers (countries) available, and if you're into such a thing...allows torrent traffic.

Another layer of protection is having a dedicated browser installation *only* for use with the VPN.

If privacy is your goal: basically, try to avoid being digitally "fingerprinted" at your real location with your online accounts.

For instance, if I switch over to VPN and keep using the same browser, all those cookies with login information and tracking (Google, anyone?) still persist.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for a quiet high capacity sump pump? I want to upgrade before I sink a bunch of money into finishing my basement.

My current pump is a 1/2hp and it barely keeps up on rainy days. I also already have a water powered emergency backup but I'd rather not have that run unless it has to.

Also it definitely occurs to me that this probably isn't the right channel to ask this question in but we don't have a plumbing channel.
