Nope, doesn’t seem like it.


Here’s an example of a text object taken from the XML, if you’re curious: https://clips.clb92.xyz/2024-09-08_22-27-04_gfxTWDQt13RMnTIS.png

EDIT: And with more complicated strings (like ones havingnumbers or symbols - just regular-ass ASCII symbols, mind you) there will be tens of <stringItem>, because apparently numbers and letters don’t even work the same. Even line breaks have their own <stringItem>. And if the number of these <stringItem> and their charLen don’t match what’s actually in pt:data, it won’t open the file.


Lots or file formats are just zipped XML.

I was reverse engineering fucking around with the LBX file format for our Brother label printer’s software at work, because I wanted to generate labels programmatically, and they’re zipped XML too. Terrible format, LBX, really annoying to work with. The parser in Brother P-Touch Editor is really picky too. A string is 1 character longer or shorter than the length you defined in an attribute earlier in the XML? “I’ve never seen this file format in my life,” says P-Touch Editor.


Or in America, “We’re going to sew you back up, but first, please enter credit card details and sign here regarding your payment plan”


What’s the value proposition here? Free no-questions-asked replacement if it breaks? Free upgrades when new models come out (though they have no real incentive to keep developing new “forever mice”)?

If my mice on average last, say, 6 years and cost $175 (I splurged on a high-end one last time), the subscription will have to be less than $2.40/month, and since customers absolutely hate subscriptions, especially if there’s no real benefit, probably even less than $1.50/month for most to even consider it.

In fact the Logitech mouse before my current mouse lasted 12 years and cost me $75, so that’s a max subscription cost of 50 cents/month for it to be comparable.


Really cool project, even though it has its flaws. Be prepared to search the documentation and update the configuration via the command line, as there’s no settings page in the web interface.

I had some trouble with it throwing a fatal error on URLs longer than the max filename length on my filesystem, but the author has been very responsive on GitHub. I replied to a 3-4 year old closed issue and the author opened it again and tried implementing a new fix in the dev version. I’m encountering another issue with using the dev version in my setup right now, but I think that’s being worked on.


Which is why I’m not donating right now, even as a satisfied user of Firefox for 15+ years.


I’ll happily donate 5 bucks now and again to Firefox development, but I don’t want my donation to go to a 5-6 million dollar CEO salary.


By the way, you can still buy the old licenses, which will be grandfathered in, and they will keep the old license upgrade paths too (Basic -> Plus -> Pro), so now may be a good time to grab a Basic license if you think you might want a lifetime Basic, Plus or Pro license in the future.






Omg, it’s scary how accurate this is!
I am a nerd!


I’ve found that they don’t always fit properly in all female Micro USB connectors, but they are quite interesting.

haha php bad, kill yourself 👌 lolol 💯👌👌😂😂😂

If you’re going to make these “If programming languages were X” jokes, at least be a little bit creative with them.


Nebula has about 10.000 videos, from only select creators. Youtube has around 1 billion videos, and everyone can upload. Nebula is not actually a Youtube alternative unless you’re in one of two specific target audiences:

  1. Already established educational content creator looking for alternative platform
  2. Person watching educational video content and not much else

I don’t see Nebula opening up their site to everyone and letting anyone upload content any time soon, and for that reason I don’t see them as a Youtube competitor at all. They’ve found their niche with curated quality over quantity.

Fun fact: The difference between 10.000 and 1 billion is… around 1 billion.


I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t done something similar before.


Stay at loopback address, wear a subnet mask?



I took a look at Traefik once and the complexity scared me away. Caddy is my cup of tea with one simple config file.



The moment Mozilla bundles an AI assistant with Firefox is the moment I’m done with the internet.

We don’t need a new separate useless AI assistant in every single browser, please.


Another reason my phone is rooted. I want to have the final say in whether I can remove a notification or not on my phone.


SafetyNet isn’t a shit anymore and it could be ez passed on unlocked BL with magisk

The real challenge has yet to come, from what I’ve understood, once basic attestation eventually gets abandoned over hardware-backed attestation.


In Denmark, I pay ~19€ (~$21) for 1000GB of mobile data (they call it ‘unlimited’, but the small text says they may cut you off at 1000GB). Of course, I rarely use more than 50GB a month on my phone.
