My comments are just the code that didn’t work but I don’t want to delete yet because I might make it work except I never will be cause I already rewrote it so it does.

We live in a society. We have laws. And order.

• Take picture with digital camera.
• Store as jpg
• Convert jpeg to base64 string
• Compress the string in a .zip split into 2.5KB chunks
• Encode the .zips as a base64 strings
• Render a QR code for each string.
• Print out all QR codes on a sheet
• Store in family photo album.

Most of that could be like 10 lines of python…

As a network guy…open up your favorite web-managed application and open the developer console. Inspect the transactions you see and compare it to the applications REST API reference, and you’ll likely find a lot of commonality (and maybe some undocumented endpoints!).

Backend made the API and everything that is performed by it. Front end is doing the GUI based off the response and promoting for input.

True, but most streaming media now is a bunch of stills with the changes for each individual frame between them.

Fun fact, first webcam was a series of updating stills of an actual coffee pot so some engineers would know if there was coffee made.

Right?

Like, I get it Nintendo, you want money. That’s understandable.

Then let me buy the damn games. I’d love to be able to buy roms to run in an official emulator, or ideally any emulator.

Honestly at this point why even bother with DRM. The roms for classic systems are absurdly easy to get. Hell even switch roms. But Nintendo insists the only way to play retro games legitimately is to buy either a monthly subscription, or a copy of the rom bundled with the official emulator that can only be run on that specific generation console, or buy dedicated system for it.

And even then its only the games they put out on the system/marketplace/subscription service. A tiny fraction of the library.

I gotta say, I’ve distro hopped a lot over the years…finally caved to try EndeavorOS and it’s my new favorite, if only for the AUR.

Far from it, but that started long before the first lost earbud.

My wife wanted me to buy her a pair of air pods.

I’m like, get a pair of headphones to last you more than a month, then we’ll talk.

I can’t tell you how many pairs of cheap earbuds we’ve gone through. Either lost or eaten (damn dog). Almost always just the right earbud. Never the left. I have so many lefts left.

I love all your replies.

You wouldn’t get these responses from stackoverflow.

This isn’t even a programming or development community…it’s a general interest one.

You didn’t even ask for help.

man wtf

MS renamed it for Windows 95, likely because of that and they were getting a lot of blowback for the interface in looking a lot like Mac anyway.

It’s called Paint now. Back in the old days it was called Paintbrush. It’s an anachronism.

FWIW MS has Paint 3D now and will probably have Paint 365 and Paint Series X before we know it.

Please remind Microsoft of this as they continue to “improve and modernize” windows.

Can’t even use keyboard shortcuts to save a damn picture in paintbrush.

But…why?

Project Calico is designed for segmenting network traffic between kubernetes workloads.

Right tool for the job.

Also if you are a Fortinet shop, supposedly you can manage rules with FortiManager. I haven’t tried that yet but it looks really cool.

Tmux essentially creates a pseudo-shell that persists between sessions.

So you can start a process, detach the session, start something else, disconnect, come back next week, and check on it.

It does other things too. Like console tiling.

Oof I did a firmware upgrade on my main external firewall.

The upgrade went fine but when we added an ISP a month or so prior, I forgot to redistribute the ISPs routes. While all my ISPs were technically working, and the firewall came back up, nothing below it could get to the internet, so it was good as down.

Cue the 1.5 hour drive into the office…

Had that drive to think about what went wrong. Got into the main lobby, sat down, joined the wifi, and fixed it in 3 minutes.

Didn’t even get to my desk or the datacenter.

Y u no COBOL?
