That satisfying feeling of applying a new phone screen protector perfectly aligned first time with no bubbles 😄

@mathw the Spigen screen protector I got came with a really cool plastic frame pre-attached that aligns it perfectly with the phone and you press the middle and it just... applies

Bit of a squeegee at the end for the edges and BAM, done

brunty,
@brunty@brunty.social avatar

@PhilipKing so far these ones (Spigen ones) have been really good. They have rounded edges so don't feel as sharp or catch on things!

I'm on to my second one as the first got damaged (so did its job!)

@mathw a good clean with alcohol and some compressed air immediately before placing it down ensured that any of the tiny specs of stuff that can cause air bubbles never stood a chance!

Friend-o's: Is there a nice task tracking app that allows you to set up a rota of tasks on specific days of the week that repeats? Not like a habit tracker as tasks are done on specific days, not every day.

Like:

Monday:

  • Meal planning
  • Vacuuming

Tuesday:

  • Shopping
  • Mopping

Weds -> Sunday etc etc and then the same list is repeated the following week

@heiglandreas yeah, I thought of that, want something digital for this though

Is there a browser addon that replaces "AI" with "Stolen Content" in text? 🤔

@ocramius good idea!

Does anyone else try and pre-guess a few of the digits in the correct order for their codes just for fun or is it just me?

brunty,
@brunty@brunty.social avatar

@fishbowler hah, yeah!

333333 is just as likely as 123456 or 927364 but the patterns feel off

I just try and guess 3 digits and see if they're at the start or end

"Maybe 683 [generates code] 021746, aww dangit"

Deployed a tool for a personal / #SelfHosted thing recently and it was configured using #XML

There was much rejoicing, no #YAML, no #JSON!

brunty,
@brunty@brunty.social avatar

@david_megginson "Nobody loves "

Me! I do! I love XML! (seriously, with a DTD it's so much nicer, doesn't have whitespace issues like YAML, allows comments which JSON doesn't)

brunty,
@brunty@brunty.social avatar

@david_megginson @douglascrockford I was also the weird one at a previous job that loved that the finance industry still relied heavily on XML

😃

brunty,
@brunty@brunty.social avatar

That said, it didn't seem to have a DTD :(

I need to revert back to Windows 10 on this laptop

Windows 11 has been a shitshow

brunty,
@brunty@brunty.social avatar

@gaycookie the wonderful world of technology 🤣

brunty,
@brunty@brunty.social avatar

@gaycookie I've kept my desktop on Windows 10 and will be doing so for as long as possible!

brunty,
@brunty@brunty.social avatar

@gaycookie yeah the laptop worked perfectly with Win10, but with Win11 it doesn't shut down properly, has power management and sleep issues, has regular crashes, the start menu is slooooooooooooooooow and inaccurate (though, it wasn't great in 10 but it wasn't this bad!)

Ooooh OS 3.0.20 now on my

More traffic routing control is nice, being able to set up multiple connections to route specific traffic through as well as either of the WAN connections I have

Cooooool

Okay, this traffic routing stuff is really cool now that I can have multiple VPN clients ready
