Same: https://github.com/ianare/exif-py/pull/75/files I feel like a bit of a fraud because this was the PR that got me the "Mars 2020 Contributor" badge...

Yet another fzf-based implementation: https://github.com/pR0Ps/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/ijq (Demo: https://asciinema.org/a/349330 )

https://cmetcalfe.ca/blog Contains mostly guides on random things I learn over time and other bits of information I think should be publicly available. Not very frequently updated,…

This has been an issue forever (I have a similar blog post from 4+ years ago tracking down the exact same issue: https://cmetcalfe.ca/blog/diagnosing-periodic-high-ping-time... ) a…

You can actually do this with any level of log message by passing `exc_info=True` to it. This is super useful in cases where you want to log the exception context, but don't need t…

Maybe it's Stockholm syndrome, but contrary to what seems like most people I don't actually mind the built in logging library. Sure, it reeks of its Java roots and can be a bit of …

For 2, see chronic[0] (part of moreutils[1]). It runs a command, muting stdout and stderr unless the command exits with a non-zero status. [0]: https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/m…

While it's true that jq's DSL has a bit of a learning curve, being able to try expressions and see immediate feedback can help immensely. Here is a demo of a small script I wrote t…

It's 100% possible to play with all the emulators running on the same computer. I worked my way through most of game with multiple players. There was a little bit of input lag but …

Ugh. I had the exact same issue with Qt and it took me forever to track it down[0]. Even though it's been fixed since 2017 I can confirm that there's still lots of network-using so…

You can fix this by adding a filter called "is:spam" that has the "never send to spam" option checked. See https://cmetcalfe.ca/blog/forwarding-spam-with-gmail.html

I wanted to try it, but their RSS/ATOM feed support is broken. The feed[1] currently 404's with a single emoji[2]. No feed support is a non-starter for me. Question for you since y…

Something you may want to look into is the client MTU setting. When I was setting up WireGuard on macOS Mojave it would connect but I wouldn't be able to load pages. Other devices …

Seems like a lot of people have their own solution, I'll add mine to the pile: https://github.com/pR0Ps/PhotoFloat Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/F6w8Ixz.png (just took it now so …

I have this rule too. While there are a bunch of people with anecdotes saying their Switch is fine with non-Nintendo power supplies, the fact that the dock and console are both rid…

I'm interested in something like this - is the code publicly available?

I'm unfortunately familiar with similar systems. What has probably happened is that a crowdsourced process has (incorrectly) categorized the website as 2 things: "Criminal skills/H…

Yes, anyone who analyzes the messages you send can assume that you are using SMSSecure. However, compared to the amount of metadata that's already being leaked over SMS[1], adding …

Key distribution isn't really something we're doing. Each user just keeps their own list of verified identities. We're using the same system we inherited from TextSecure for encryp…

Actually, if you receive a message from someone using SMSSecure, you'll get a prompt asking if you want to upgrade to a secure session. But yes, there is no way to look someone up …

SMSSecure's default mode is to send normal, unencrypted SMS messages so people using regular SMS clients can still receive them. If both users have SMSSecure, they can exchange key…
