QR code generator
fietkau.software/qrIwebdev side project: QR code generator
-
It's instant, purely client-side, and has no ads or upsells.
-
It has a variety of color, shape, and logo embedding options.
-
There's PNG and SVG export.
The included logo selection is, let's say, "opinionated" and features lots of familiar faces if you enjoy federated social platforms. 😄

Thinking of adding search to my static site... This seems to be a good option! <https://pagefind.app/>
Might give this a try when I have the time. Looks easy enough.

chaos.social/@lindworm/112407333083152134Eine Google suche kostet im extremen bis zu 0.0003 kWh oder auch 1.08kJ. Eine ChatGPT-4 Anfrage in dem Bereich von 0.001-0.01 kWh(3.6-36 kJ)
Also ist das 3-36 mal mehr um eine Antwort zu bekommen, die mit Glück richtig ist und mit Sicherheit nicht vollständig.
und alle so "This is awesome!"

Dear students: LLMs are terrible plagiarists and they do not give a damn (or have any capacity to care or avoid doing so) if they get you in deep doodoo by reproducing verbatim code from existing repositories on github or from web pages. And on assignments, it's quite likely to happen.
We didn't identify these cases by using an AI detector: They were identical to a source on the web!

mastodon.decentralised.social/@wezm/112381479166922925✍️ New post! I realised after mentioning the title case web page earlier today that I had not written about the other projects on my projects domain, 7bit.org. This post remedies that covering the following:
- Dew Point Forecast — 7 day weather forecasts that include the dew point
- RSS Please — Generate RSS feeds from web pages
- Titlecase — Convert text to title case
- MacBinary — a MacBinary decoder

One of the most useful nerdy documents on the internet is "Beej's Guide to Network Programming", a comprehensive tutorial on C socket programming that's been continually improved since 1995
I just found out Beej has a new guide (started in March 2023) called "Beej’s Guide to Networking Concepts" - which teaches networking concepts using Python!

fosstodon.org/@soller/111602942350402876This is cosmic-term, a very WIP project that takes the alacritty_terminal crate providing the majority of terminal code but rewrites the renderer to support additional features such as bidirectional text and ligatures. It will support both software and GPU rendering, and will have additional UI sugar provided by libcosmic as they are implemented.

fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/111451770280971152Written news articles often have a secret language to them which hints at the underlying reporting process - language like "according to **two people familiar with** the board’s deliberations".
I don't think these are at all obvious to people who haven't worked in news, so I wrote an article about them:
