I installed Fortnite to check out the LEGO mode without realizing EAC was a rootkit and the next Windows update bricked my PC.

Striker didn't say that you have to engage, he said that when you do it should be more constructive. C'mon.

I have Button Mapper trigger a Tasker task that locks my phone when I hold the volume down button, for some reason Button Mapper's lock doesn't trigger a lockdown.

(Tap and hold still lowers the volume)

TotK didn't introduce a way to repair weapons, it reduced their durability to near nothing then gave you a way to buff them.

I started learning Japanese as I started using Heliboard, for now I just swap back when I need it. GBoard doesn't play nice with the language button switching between apps so I just use the OS keyboard button and have the language button disabled everywhere, which also frees up some space!

In High School my dad and little sister came to pick me up from the state YMCA Y&G conference and I was told on the way out that the girl I was talking to was very obviously flirting with me. I didn't even remember who I'd been talking to.

I want to do a rewrite, it's got some silly issues RN:

  • Crops are stored in individual CSVs per image and ratio instead of a proper database and when you restart the server it has to reload all of them
  • The only UI is the gallery and the image cropping screen
  • To get to the gallery you have to type your screen resolution into the URL bar
  • Thumbnails aren't cached so they load into the gallery very slowly
  • I send 1:1 wallpapers to both my tablet and watch but when some particular art of Sylvanas that looks great on my watch gets send to my tablet while it's in landscape it's just her torso

Regardless of all that I think its still pretty nifty and I'd be willing to help set it up or you follow me on Mastodon I'll post there when I have news: @[email protected]

(I lost my hobby coding spark for a while but it seems to be coming back, though right now that's in the form of an Anki plugin that generates a flashcard deck by extracting data from the vocab app for a Japanese textbook called Genki)

My solution is a bit eccentric: I wrote a webserver I call Wallpaper Garden that let's you define crops of tour collection at different aspect ratios and then serves them via a random endpoint or RSS feed. Then I consume the random endpoint from a Tasker script on my phone and watch and the RSS feeds from John's Background Switcher on my PC.

My collection is made up mostly of game press kit images (Destiny, Blizzard, Skyrim, Nintendo, etc.) but also some default OS stuff, random high-res images from Reddit, astronomy photos/collages by A. James McCarthy, and some other random stuff
