  1. Found this beauty at Value Village today, just thought it was kinda neat. No idea if it works, if it does I'm welcome to idea for projects and fun things to try.

    Anyone who knows anything about it is welcome to come forth as well, I know nothing about Digilent or their products.

    File this under #ComputerStuff

    I am not a programmer. Don’t know how to code. Too lazy to make iOS shortcuts…

    I have a folder of plain text files, each with a list of hash tags. I needed a simple way to examine the .txt files and count the number of times each hashtag was used.

    Tried Obsidian, but it means using .md and confines you to your vault.

    Solution, I asked ChatGPT to make me an Apple Script to do this task for me. Magic!

  6. With the coming end of support of #Windows10 I would like to hear from people who recently (say < 3 years ago) moved from Windows (or MacOS) to Linux:
    .1. which Linux distribution did you settle on?
    .2. which are the main problems that you had "transitioning"?
    .3. are you planning to keep using Linux for now?
    .4. What are you missing in Linux that you had with your former OS?
    .5. If you tried but did not keep using it - why?

    And here's a related poll:
    Have you recently moved to Linux from a different OS? ⬇️

  8. I’ve reviewed the code running BlueSky and I can categorically state that 73% of the 1s suck and 56% of the 0s are actual bullshit.

  10. Today I apparently "fixed" two computers (1 laptop, 1 desktop) by... opening them, hoovering a bit, and closing them back up 🤷
    They literally went from not booting to being perfectly fine. Sometimes you don't need much to fix what looks like a desperate situation!

  14. https://cohost.org/iliana/post/5641444-this-has-joined-a-me

    hisense TV causing issues to windows PC's over the network by announcing thousands of unique UPNP ID's for itself, filling up the index of devices and causing device indexing to slow to a crawl. Astounding. You could totally make an annoying little device that does this.

  15. I have an internet modem Downstairs and a long blue cable that runs Upstairs where all the computer stuff is. This is becoming unreliable. Is there a Better Way maybe using wireless? #computerstuff

  16. On this day in 1990 "WorldWideWeb: Proposal for a HyperText Project" was submitted to CERN by T. Berners-Lee/CN, R. Cailliau/ECP. You can read that proposal here: w3.org/Proposal.html
