If OPs experience is anything like mine, they just suck at doing their job. There's often some silly reason its stuck, or it prints wrong, or the colors are off, etc, its really just a super painful experience and I can't believe its still so bad.
Is this some meme I didn't hear about?

#273Looks like a great way to farm a list of commonly used passwords for users or just wifis. I never trust anything online that generates anything with a password. I got burned from a crypto wallet scam once. but fool be twice...!!!

Saving a webpage and expecting your browser to render this the same way in a few years is only possible if you are saving the browser version with it. The command line tool will have a longer life
You could just use google to find the same thing in a few years. The project is so simple I could replicate it and have it hosted in a few hours.
The project is so simple that it would be easier to rewrite it from scratch in that time frame. But the qrencode CLI allows to just avoid that.

#276I can also recommend drawing it instead of printing if you hate printers with the same passion as me. Record to beat for drawing a working QR code is 3 tries and I think about three hours (for an SSID of 13 bytes (5 unicode characters) and 19-character password). I did it mostly out of curiosity how hard it would actually be (spoiler: medium difficulty).
I'm more curious about why you hate printers.
The printer needs to be connected to wifi all the time but on the flip side, the printer orders ink cartridges well in advance (so they get delivered in time and I have them ready when I need).

#277I do wish there was an option to safely disable all connectivity in a browser tab (forever) like with Javascript or camera access. Yes, saving the page, disconnecting your network connection, then deleting the page would work, but it's a real bother.
DevTools -> network -> Change the throttling to "offline"

I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t the top comment, on the current #1 front page story, but Can someone please explain this command, and why it is presumably given as a criticism of this submission?
Even this reply - this is intended as conversation.

He did this for fun, his motivation wasn't to find the cheapest way to host his content.
I honestly don't understand where's the fun in using docker for anything. Unless one is into masochism.
