Linux@lemmy.ml•imagemagick Montage: I can only create a montage if all the exif data is cleared.
2·8 months agoIn case you (or someone else) wants an explanation.
Modern cameras and phones save the image orientation in the exif data while keeping the orientation of the real pixels like they were originally.
But by default imagemagick doesn’t use the exif data but the real pixel orientation. That’s why the orientation in the montage and after removing exif data was wrong.
I think there are options to let imagemagick read the exif data. I’m too lazy to look it up.

Linux Questions@lemmy.zip•Trying to set up email alerts for ssh logins on my server with PAM. Getting error code 2English
1·8 months agoNice idea. Saving this thread to try that on my own server when I have the energy.
I wouldn’t do that with failed logins, though. My server is hammered with myriad login attempts all the time.

Ackshually three equal signs check for type as well. So mere truthiness is not enough. It has to be exactly true.
Also, everyone knows FILE_NOT_FOUND isn’t a string but a boolean value.
Since getting Long Covid I basically live naked in my bed. Now little by little my family is taking possession of my clothes or they throw them away. We already know that I will need a completely new wardrobe if I ever get better.

I think if she likes the local dojo and teachers is much more important than which discipline you pick. These places usually offer the first session for free or at least let you observe a session. So you should try them out and see which one she likes more.
Many professional gamers still depend on them because they have lower latency than USB.
Everything to get these kick-ass benchmarks!

Well, I haven’t used it to live there. But in my opinion nothing beats Sunshine and Moonlight for remote desktop stuff. It’s meant for gaming so responsiveness is the number 1 priority.

Buy European@feddit.uk•German carmakers and suppliers want to create a shared open-source platformEnglish
6·8 months agoYeah, the knob to control everything was a big reason why developing for the emulator sucked. With the emulator you could just click on buttons and links, where in the real thing the users would be stuck with an awkward knob they’d turn to select stuff.

Buy European@feddit.uk•German carmakers and suppliers want to create a shared open-source platformEnglish
73·8 months agoWe once had to make an interface for a big German car manufacturers new car. It showed texts about things and stuff (I really don’t remember). The target was an embedded browser for which a not really accurate emulator existed.
I could only develop against that emulator. They could not supply us with a computer running the real thing. For testing I had to go to a secret locked garage where the real car stood with obfuscation decals so that competitors wouldn’t be able to see the design. It was really tight and uncomfortable to work in when I had to debug something only occuring on the real hardware. And I was lucky that I had cellphone reception at all in the garage.
One or two years later after I had left that team I saw a colleague finally having basically a full car’s cockpit in his office for testing, so things got a little bit better.
My point is, car companies work differently than computer guys. I hope this project won’t die amid their inflexibility.

Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services.@lemmy.ml•[Question] Why should I not open ports to the internet on my home router?
3·8 months agoIn this case it probably means both. Plus the application listening on the other end. In its purest sense opening a port means having an application listen on that port.

Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services.@lemmy.ml•[Question] Why should I not open ports to the internet on my home router?
3·8 months agoThat’s the point of port forwarding. Yes, normally applications aren’t reachable and have to reach out first. That’s how your browser can receive answers. With port forwarding you instruct your router to always forward incoming traffic for a specific port to a specific computer in your LAN.

















FILE_NOT_FOUND is from an old story on thedailywtf.com. Someone created a boolean enum with TRUE, FALSE and FILE_NOT_FOUND, if I recall correctly. It’s been a recurring running joke.
