Does the term "Eternal September" tell you anything? Since then, the internet was not the same.

New speakers? Maurice Ravel, "Bolero". No better music to test an audio system.

They want to die. Why stop them? Just get out in time.

I wonder how long insurance will cover such stupidity. In their books, Texas is probably a big cost factor already.

If you believe that your local bakery can survive without those chemicals, think again. There are a handful of specialized bakeries that actually work on "clean" recipies, but they are rare and much more expensive.

Yes, even in Germany, the country of bread, rising agents and acidity regulators are common. Whenever you see a "bakery" put prepared rolls into the oven, you can be sure that chemistry is the bakers best friend.

Get an adblocker. It is cheaper, and still less ads.

Try doing anything with US customs. On the one hand, woe and Armageddon to those who do not enter absolutely correct data, on the other hand, you cannot enter anything but A-Z, 0-9, and a handful of basic punctuation. And, of course, addresses have American formatting and fields.

One would have thought that a bureaucracy dealing with customs might have heard about foreign countries...

Not a website, but a 30+MB app that could easily have been replaced with a <10k website...

To pay for your parking, you have to enter the parking lot number, your cars' tags, and CC data. So far, so good.

But they also require an email address and a phone number. They want to confirm that email address, and they check whether the number is a valid UK telephone number. And no, you simply cannot enter an international prefix. Which meant that I as a tourist could not pay for the parking lot at the hotel.

How about a swastica?

Can't choose Firefox from share, sorry.

You are right, it was triple slash, but it does not work anyway, as it already balks at "file".

Yes, I am well aware that filenames under android are horribly convoluted. From a certain viewpoint, they probably make sense.

 

I've got an HTML file on my phone, and would like to view it. But Firefox on Android has neither a menu entry "Open File", nor does using the file:// method work, nor is any app associated with the .html file extension.

BTW, Chrome suffers from the same problem. And it is not an issue with the file, it works when opened via the https:// method from my home server.

Why, oh why, can't I open a local file on Android?

 

Although I work with Audio, I have no real clue on how audio works on Linux, despite using it since Kernel 0.97...

What I have: I've got a machine with normal onboard audio IOs and a BT dongle. It is running Ubuntu Server.

What I want: I want it to take the analog signal from LineIn and forward this to a BT speaker linked to the BT dongle. This should preferably run like a service, so it autostarts when booting the server.

Any idea where to start, which programs and systems to look for?

 

I don't have a YouTube login on purpose. After having had issues with some random videos asking me to login to confirm my age (no porn or anything, seems to be random harrasment), I now get "log in to prove that you are not a bot" (rough translation).

 
  1. Januar 1933: Paul von Hindenburg: "Wenn er erst mal Reichskanzler ist, haben wir ihn unter Kontrolle"

  2. Januar 2025: Friedrich Merz: "Wir werden nächste Woche in den Deutschen Bundestag Anträge einbringen, die ausschließlich unserer Überzeugung entsprechen. [...] Und wir werden sie einbringen, unabhängig davon, wer ihnen zustimmt."

 

Because you now did it to yourself.

 

My problem: I want to create an inventory of my parts. For that I need data I could look up on BL. Sadly, my storage has no internet whatsoever, so I need an offline solution.

I have found the LDRAW library inside the Studio installation, which gives me the parts and their design. They contain the name of the part, too, but only as a comment, and I have yet to verify if this is consistent. I think I could rig a software that renders me the picture as I need it for my application, so that's that.

But there are other files inside the Studio installation, and I wonder if there is a way to find the following information from this:

  • BL Category (Like "Brick" or "Plate Modified")
  • LEGO part numbers and colors that exists for a certain design
  • Parts Weight

I don't need any rapidly changing data like price or availability.

Has anyone here done this, or knows a software that does this?

 

Sounds easy? Well, it should have been. I'm not talking about a "Hello, World!" (although it is more or less on the same level for me). The goal was to write a set of three MQTT clients that properly talk with each other and interact nicely.

So I had to learn Python and MQTT on the same day. Should not be an issue after 40 years of programming. But it quickly turned out that the Python library/package for MQTT on Ubuntu was heavily outdated (1.6), and did not supply all the functions the documentation and examples (2.0) asked for. Using pip3 didn't work, as it complained that the package structure was maintained by the OS. In the end, I had to virtualize the python3 system and pip3 the 2.0 package there and run it.

After about three hours, I had the clients working as they should. Yes, I think MQTT is a good base for the next project.

 

I was just wondering. There was or is a mediawiki group on Reddit, but so far I could not find one here.

 

The new Eldorado Fortress is listed at €214.99. Is it just me, or is this set much to expensive for what it is? When I saw it, I thought "Maybe €150, €170 tops", and was shocked when I heard the real price.

I know (who doesn't?) that LEGO is not cheap, but this is not a Starwars set, it is 100% their own IP.
