Für Passwörter im Klartext sollte man die Täter hinter Gitter bringen.

Absolut überfällig.

If they killed off the free NOAA service, many people and businesses depending on this kind of service would need a new, commercial and probably expensive service. Profit!

Well, it was known that these jets contain a shitload of energy. Why is anybody surprised that a direct hit causes devastating effects?

Competent fact checking - the worst nightmare of any MAGA head.

Germany: Hamburg police seize 2 tons of cocaine worth €100M in c/world

Some time ago, they found 95kg of cocaine in banana boxes in a supermarket here in Germany. I imagined a mafioso opening banana box after banana box in his hideout, and keep finding nothing but bananas ;-)

Do you donate money? How, why, why not? in c/asklemmy
[–] Treczoks 2 points 13 hours ago

We are members of a few charitable organizations, and we have subscribed to a charity lottery (we have a chance to win something, but we are absolute OK with not winning, too, as we know where the money is going to)

Why isn't apple a popular ice cream flavor? in c/nostupidquestions
[–] Treczoks 11 points 13 hours ago

While that is the case, modern industrial ice cream rarely contains the actual fruit. Just take standard Neutro mix, regenerate it with water, not milk, and add some food coloring (a light green), an acidic component like citric acid, and "natural" "apple" flavor.

Definitely that one. Since I can select the radio station without taking the hands of the steering wheel, it is "next station" as soon as it starts.

Extracting Data from Stud.io 2.0 (self.lego)
submitted 3 months ago by Treczoks to c/lego

My problem: I want to create an inventory of my parts. For that I need data I could look up on BL. Sadly, my storage has no internet whatsoever, so I need an offline solution.

I have found the LDRAW library inside the Studio installation, which gives me the parts and their design. They contain the name of the part, too, but only as a comment, and I have yet to verify if this is consistent. I think I could rig a software that renders me the picture as I need it for my application, so that's that.

But there are other files inside the Studio installation, and I wonder if there is a way to find the following information from this:

  • BL Category (Like "Brick" or "Plate Modified")
  • LEGO part numbers and colors that exists for a certain design
  • Parts Weight

I don't need any rapidly changing data like price or availability.

Has anyone here done this, or knows a software that does this?

Wrote my first longer Python program (self.linux)
 

Sounds easy? Well, it should have been. I'm not talking about a "Hello, World!" (although it is more or less on the same level for me). The goal was to write a set of three MQTT clients that properly talk with each other and interact nicely.

So I had to learn Python and MQTT on the same day. Should not be an issue after 40 years of programming. But it quickly turned out that the Python library/package for MQTT on Ubuntu was heavily outdated (1.6), and did not supply all the functions the documentation and examples (2.0) asked for. Using pip3 didn't work, as it complained that the package structure was maintained by the OS. In the end, I had to virtualize the python3 system and pip3 the 2.0 package there and run it.

After about three hours, I had the clients working as they should. Yes, I think MQTT is a good base for the next project.

Is there a community for the engine behind wikipedia (mediawiki)? (self.wikipedia)

I was just wondering. There was or is a mediawiki group on Reddit, but so far I could not find one here.

Anyone else thinking that the new Eldorado Fortress is too expensive? (self.lego)
submitted 1 year ago by Treczoks to c/lego

The new Eldorado Fortress is listed at €214.99. Is it just me, or is this set much to expensive for what it is? When I saw it, I thought "Maybe €150, €170 tops", and was shocked when I heard the real price.

I know (who doesn't?) that LEGO is not cheap, but this is not a Starwars set, it is 100% their own IP.
