Dear my apple watch wants me to enter my itunes password. But my password is long and strong and I have been unable to do it on the stupid fingerpainting interface for months. Is there an alternative?

I want to understand this, but I can’t grok more than the headline and the potential applications. Is anyone able to explain it to someone whose physics knowledge is Year 12 + Vertasium? Like, how do massless photons even have momentum?!

: looking for a PC. Mostly for headless home server—Linux w/containers. Currently using a Pi4—but RAM/CPU/mini-SD doesn't quite cut it.

Desiderata: not a full tower if poss (prefer Mac Mini form factor), mainstream architecture, reasonable price, efficient power use.

May wish to add gfx card later for gaming. (eGPU on mini PCs—doable?)

Have built boxes in the distant past, but I value my time.

On iOS 17, how do I load an existing ringtone onto the phone? The online directions I’ve found use iTunes, which is not on current macOS, or recording a sound on the phone. I already have the sound on my computer. I can load the ringtone as a file, but it doesn’t show for phone or text tones.

EDIT: Added solution in reply.

I need a used-working NVMe SSD (2280). Anyone have an one they'd be willing to part with for the cost of shipping (plus a convenience fee)? 1TB preferred, but I'm fine with any size.

I'm looking to do all this under $15.

It's fine if it's used because I want to test if my 2017 desktop supports NVMe (and the answer seems to be... possibly... not even Acer seems to be sure).

Dear I'd like to create a interactive prototype, nothing complicated, just a simple slider than when I move it, animates a range of simulated LEDs (about 100 of them). My first through was Processing but I'm open to other suggestions.

My issue with any choice is the start up cost, it's usually quite tedious to get started before I can get to the fun part. Any suggestions?

Maybe my google-fu has defeated me, but I want to find a sample or template for #Python 's #Flask based web application which has:

  • Basic Auth + TOTP or SAML authentication
  • A REST API using API tokens
  • An ORM for database objects
  • An admin interface for manipulating the objects in the ORM

I don't want 12 different howtos documenting how to write an insecure ToDo app using the framework of the week. Also, the same for #PHP 's #Laravel.

Help me #lazyweb you're my only hope.

query about why a isn't deterministic.

OBSERVATION:

Download the same video multiple times using yt-dlp URL. The contents aren't the same even minutes apart. The SHA256 hashes don't match.

QUESTION

Why does this happen?

SPECULATION

  • yt-dlp doesn't strip out sponsors in a deterministic way

  • YouTube tweaks the bitrate on the fly despite requesting the highest quality

  • YouTube adds steganographic fingerprints to thwart downloaders via state violence

I thought a split of a string implied two parts- a before, and after :D!

Another lazy question.

I use to write my posts.

Code is written as:

print("hello")  

That's automatically converted to:

<pre><code class="language-python">…

I use HighlightJS to do syntax highlighting. But that pulls in lots of JS which I'd rather avoid.

Is there a decent plugin for doing sever-side rendering of code highlighting which doesn't require blocks / Gutenberg?

I know I can try a few out, but I'd like to hear people's personal experiences.

I'm looking for some CSS which I can drop in as a replacement for the default styles.

Can any #Excel experts offer advice on simple ways to make it send an email if a particular condition is met?

A quick search suggests needing to code something in Visual Basic, which is well out of my field of experience.

Would anyone care to recommend a CO2 monitor I can prop up next to my desk to remind me when to ventilate?

Bonus marks if it's both powered and portable, so I can occasionally take it to meetings and opt out when things get too muggy. I don't care about recording numbers over time. UK purchase.

Q: it is I want to monitor, both for air quality and as a proxy for the fact that , right??

I have a custom domain I bought through Squarespace for a site they're currently hosting, but I want to move my site elsewhere. I could leave the domain at Squarespace, but I kind of want to transfer it elsewhere, too. Thoughts? Suggestions for another host that isn't GoDaddy? 😛

Dear #lazyWeb

I want to see a list of Fediverse servers sorted by the number of users that they do/don't federate with.

Bonus points if I can provide a list of instances or users that I want to have available and filter by just the instances that federate with those.

I’m off work next week and planning to read some Ursula K Le Guin, whose works I’ve unconscionably omitted from my reading until being obliquely recommended “Vaster Than Empires And More Slow” recently. Having done that, where should I start?

Help me #LazyWeb. I want to insert something into my #OrgMode documents that will resolve to the current date (ISO8601) when I call org-latex-export-to-pdf—i.e. it will give the PDF document a visible last-edited date. I have some LaTeX that does this in LyX, but I haven't got Org to pass it through…

I’m trying out Trello for our coop, on a recommendation. We need something for tracking rolling todo lists that repeat weekly / monthly / other-timscalely for jobs that are distributed across the coop to avoid silo-ing.

I’m veering between thinking Trello isn’t built for this, that’s it’s overkill for our needs, and that it’s a half-baked pile of shite.

Any tips? (I value stuff that actually works over stuff that is FOSS.)

Is there already a tool that will tell me what packages or source control systems own a file? I know how to do it for rpm, and I imagine it’s similarly straightforward for the Debian ecosystem, but I want to ask once and get rpm, pip, git, svn, node, maven, whatever.
