Hehe, makes me think of "For The Birds"
-
If we could toggle the feature though... I've been in a few where that snarky popup was definitely in everyone's mind :P
-
@sbiewald sorry, long delayed response... But not, a custom script which essentially allows an 8 hourly rotating password to be used on your active directory account, but with log in simplified with a pin and the Yubikey which the system uses to hook your accounts currently active password into the login process. If course we can also log into the password system to get the current issues and how much longer it will be active if need be as well.
-
The customer our team are writing with have integrated the Yubikey into AD as well. That means we can log into our cloud servers using a pin and then the Yubikey (as a single password) and it's a lot faster than the 2FA login for other systems. I don't have any complaints about it and if you have an on the go adaptor for your phone, you can even use it there. Physically, it's small and strong enough to attach to your set of house keys so that also helps.

Try Cookpad as well. Had a nice search by ingredient feature last I saw.
-
Also depends on your frameworks or ORM though... Some allow you to skip a lot of manual work when defining relationships as long as you follow their rules
-
@ScriptCoded It had to be XKCD: https://xkcd.com/350/
-
@beegC0de yep, I wanted to test it, had a Docker version running within 20 minutes and hooked up to a related app soon after. Definitely was the easiest route IMO
-
@RustyCookie I wish... Apparently I have the best the company will spend on for now. The downside of developing for a company whose main focus isn't dev :/
-
Check https://draculatheme.com
Not quite pink but shows how many editors and IDEs can be themed, they've done a really thorough job! -
@jeeper true story...
-
@oreru 2017... The specs aren't horrible but my 2011 MBP at home with 16 gigs running Linux does not feel as slow as this. The new ones are at least half the weight though too I guess
-
Haha, true story. If I bought it would be only myself to blame but it's the machines the company want us to use so probably shouldn't take a soldering iron to their hardware. Though there are some days...
-
@hash-table late response I know, apologies...but that's interesting, seems it doesn't send data back to mobile so if you switch to desktop mode in your browser you'll see it. Makes me wonder how innocent the owners actually are to its possible usage 😏
-
My mother was sent one of those scam WhatsApp messages and I found this when deconstructing it a bit: www.geoplugin.net/JavaScript.gp
Seems to be a really fast IP check... Only works on IP though so for example is giving me an incorrect location right now as our work IP gives our head office location.
The website seems legit and safe though, was just being used by scammers for its surf and simplicity I guess? Owned by geoplugin.com from what I can tell. -
@kenogo Makes sense for apps targeting the general market but there's also the fact that there are many more Linux users in dev than as general users: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/...
Still not with Linux leading but it's a more realistic statistic when discussing OS support for an app focusing on development... -
I've seen something about starting with Manjaro to keep the simplification benefits it gives to Arch and then importing the BlackArch repos... Maybe they will give you what you want?
I usually just used Kali before (especially while Debian was my go-to) but I see BlackArch has so many more tools, definitely gonna give it a look! -
I now have a 250GB NVME m.2 drive for OS and really resource intensive games (looking at you Star Citizen), a 480gGB SSD for dev and the games that just take too long to load from a spinning drive and then a 2TB HDD for the rest/bulk/downloads/etc.
Working out quite nicely so far! -
From what I've seen, my computers level of dust is almost directly related to how close it is to the floor... The best I've had it was on top of a bookshelf next to my desk, that way even higher than the desk but also not taking up desk space.
-
Got a pic of the other one, the UniClownPig... thing :|
-
Haha, so turns out it's literally just called a Squishy. It was paired with a random pink thing that looked like the head of a pig and unicorn cross... Or something 🤷
-
@SnafuAI I can't un-see that now 🤣
-
@PonySlaystation I'll try find it what it's called, but what is even more odd is it's very soft and squishy... Almost like jelly 😅
-
Back in the day I picked up Windows 7 Ultimate under a student sale and the key still works for fresh Win 10 installs (ever since their licensing update a year ago or so)
Before that it did still work but you had to install Win 7 and upgrade step by step to 10 😐🔫
That being said, this only helps you if you have any Windows keys since 7 on hand already... -
I used a gym ball for a few months... Really worked for me.
-
On that note, anyone tried Sequelize? Just heard one of our other teams looking into it for a micro service they're starting on.
-
Have exactly that problem on one app in particular... And also tried working with a friend to help us push each other but him having moved 10 hours worth of timezone away, the problem still stands 😅
-
@thijs479 We had the API up before we went the angular route (and before I joined the dev team so I'm likely missing a major reason)
An oversimplified answer would be Eloquent as the reason, that it does what we need well and reliably and allows us to put our rather complex systems quickly. It's also great to point a new dev to the laravel docs for best practices and styles etc.
Having said that, our lead architect is looking into the viability of using NodeJS down the line, at least for our smaller systems. -
Most of our new stuff at work is Angular (yes, typescript, but still counts here surely?) for front-end and Laravel as API. Senid to work really well and relatively low barrier to entry.

I was thinking maybe install a sleep app to track how restful your sleep is and records any noises? I think there are a lot of great ones now that can graph stats even down to what time to go to sleep and for how long to get your most restful sleep along with much more.
I know someone who snored, not necessarily loudly, but in such a way that it impacted how much oxygen they got while sleeping. Apparently it's pretty common and treatable. There's also grinding teeth or jaw clenched while sleeping (stress) or just not sleeping well (more exercise or diet change?) but at least trying to track your sleep will either help you find out the cause or check sleep problems off the possibilities.
Just my thoughts anyway. I was also going to say blue light removing glasses though that helped me having headaches before going to sleep more... But I've found out some interesting stuff with my sleep apps advice module based on all the data it collects.
