I got really bored so I wrote a simple dithering tool in Kotlin. It is surprising how little loss you get when reducing an image to 8 colors. Source code: https://gist.github.com/Frederikam/115a15450bec82720d3bb5a70b5ceefd

This is not quite the SSID I had expected when breaking the client side validation. What's more is that I can't authenticate now.

Forbidden love

My idle system went from ~25W to ~5W

Power management on Linux is to run “powertop --auto-tune” to quintuple battery life.

Finally got around to buying an actual home router. My new laptop has a tendency to brutally crash my Raspberry Pi. Poor little thing.

The router is only around €31. I hope it actually does what it says on the tin.

Might just stick with Evolution

I need to set up an email client on my new laptop. My university only supports the exchange protocol. Any recommendations for email clients that supports Exchange? I've previously used Evolution.

These Chinese salespeople are getting smarter by the day. How could they know I'm not naked??

When looking at an OLED screen it is mandatory to use a dark theme. The default dark theme is too bright.

This coupled with the fact that Patreon's API broke a bunch of endpoints making one of my systems unusable. Seems to have been an accident on their part, as they broke some of their own open source projects as well.

Discord just caused the third outage on my bot for today. How fun.

Although admittedly the first outage was caused by one of my bugs causing one of their bugs to go nuts on their system.

They say not to do production deployments on Fridays, which is why I am deploying at 3 AM on a Saturday morning instead.

Bonus point: Untested code!

You can't spell 'electrocute' without 'cute' though

My new laptop came with a power adapter that only works with *some* Danish power sockets. That's going to be fun...

Although not getting electrocuted seems like a good thing.

New toy.

I have an Archiso waiting for this.

Damn I missed this amazing deal

My new watch comes with a built-in pride module as part of the firmware

A friend asked me why there's a photo of me looking like a smug hacker in his trade union's magazine.

I wonder how that wound up there
