Are you sure it geolocates your IP? I get a pretty wide variety of photos from around the world, it's definitely not anything near me?

I think I have location services disabled though.

Deviantart is an interesting image host, was definitely a risky click :D

A different angle of this was the w11 picture recently I think? Looks really cool.

No one over 16 wants to either.

TIL you can easily create a QR Code inside LibreOffice in c/til@lemmy.world

Added the urls, because it was a little non trivial to find them. Zbar was showing steel rebar as the first hits...

How to connect to local private network? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago

Network scan your workplace network. I wouldn't recommend it for a proper IT managed network, but this is clearly a much looser situation.

Install zenmap, and do a scan of the network. Look for a device that looks like a NAS, and then you'll be able to use its address to connect to it.

Manually connecting to it will depend on your file manager, but it's a quick google away once you find the NAS address.

In case you want an alternative:

The qchq in the url isn't a coincidence, this was created by the British spy agency. It is used fairly commonly amongst cyber security folk, so its been fairly well vetted that its not uploading stuff to their cloud, but you can always load the page, disconnect your network and do what you want with it if you want to be paranoid.

I'm gonna interpret that as you are hung like a whale, and the footpath isn't large enough. Congrats!

Penis imprint in hot ashfalt, that's hard core.

What are you gonna write in the wet concrete?

Key bindings to control Webcam (github.com)
 

I made this to help my partner with her WFH setup.

Some of her cameras will over-expose when left on auto, and the settings to tweak the exposure aren't super easy to get to.

With this tool, we have bound the spare knobs on her macropad (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003500083583.html) to increase/decrease the exposure easily.

Disclosure: I used AI for the initial draft of the Windows api, and also to generate the README. Both have been manually reviewed and extensively refactored, although I am sure that there are some AI-isms that I probably missed (or accepted).

Yearly firework tradition (programming.dev)
 

Every year, I grab my camera and head out to try take a photo of a firework. Every year I get a blurry mess of poorly exposed photos. This is the best one I got this year.

Seems like its been pinned there somehow, despite being 2 days old. Happens when logged out as well.

ESPHome Addressable RGB Emulator (github.com)
 

Hi All. This might not be for everyone, and is very rough around the edges, but I have written a tool to more easily test how custom addressable RGB effects work.

Simply copy the code portion of the lamba into a text file, and then build and run, and it will output on your terminal how the effect will look.

It is very rough, you need a C compiler, and a RGB/TrueColor capable terminal.

If it works for you, let me know, if it doesn't, also let me know.

Rewrite of screen in Rust. Feedback and advice pls. (programming.dev)
 

I dunno if this is appropriate for this community, so mods, please delete if not.

I have been writing a screen clone in rust.

https://github.com/cameroncros/PoorMansScreen/tree/better_screen (The main branch is how I currently use it, not at all screen-like, the better_screen branch is much closer to a screen replacement.)

It all currently works fine, albeit quite simple, and I suspect not following best practices. Please talk shit about my code so I can fix that :D

For my next stage of development, I would like to use some combo of vt100 and ratatui to wrap the shell in a border, or add a menu bar at the top or bottom to make it clear when the user is inside a "screen". Does anyone have any thoughts on how to go about doing that? I am very unskilled at ratatui.

How do you feel about portrails of Autism in media? (programming.dev)
 

Hi All. I have been watching a lot of House lately, and just started "Extrodinary Attorney Woo". I am curious to know what you all think of their portrails of Autism. Is it pandering? Representation? Romantisation?

Also see "The Good Doctor", "Atypical", "Love on the spectrum" etc.

Cutting Garolite (G10) (programming.dev)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by CameronDev@programming.dev to c/3dprinting@lemmy.ml

I posted here a while back when my glass bed failed. One of the suggestions was to replace with Garolite or G10. My sheet finally arrived and i set about cutting it down to size.

...

Within 4cm, my basically unused jigsaw blade was worn flat, and by the end of the first cut (20cm), there is basically no more teeth.

For the second side, I tried using a multitool cutter, and within a few millimeters it was visibly blunt (plastic and metal tools). Finished it off with a standard wood hand saw, which seemed to go better.

So warning to anyone considering garolite, dont use power tools, it will fuck them up.

Does alien.top do anything other than mirror reddit comments? (programming.dev)
 

I have just realised that alien.top seems to be mirroring reddit accounts, posts and comments, without labelling them as such. What is the point of this one way mirroring? As soon as users realise, they are going to just leave. There is no point having a discussion with a bot that cannot respond.
