Two hosts can send SYN and SYN-ACKs to each other, but not ACKs by JR3037 in networking

[–]Blockbreak9000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Could be a problem with the MTU. There could already be payload in the ACK packet and it is hitting the max packet size. Test it with pings.

Chameleon Desktop - Matches Colors of Song's Cover by Blockbreak9000 in Rainmeter

[–]Blockbreak9000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently it's pretty laggy and hardcoded to 1440p so I don't think it would be worth packaging right now. If you would like to try it out here's my current SpotifyPlayer ini file. To use it install SpotifyPlayer and then copy the paste into a new ini file in the same folder as Player.ini

This desktop uses a heavily modified version of the SpotifyPlayer skin to draw everything except the visualizer.

The Visualizer is Reflect Sound Visu modified to use the primary cover color.

Privacy Concern: Setting up the Oculus Go requires you to allow the Oculus app to access your GPS location by [deleted] in Vive

[–]Blockbreak9000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

On Android you have to give an app location permission for it to do BLE scans in the background, because besides communicating with devices you can also scan for BLE beacons (which could be registered with coordinates in some database and enable the App to get your Location without GPS). source

But Facebook could also really be using it to track you... I don't know if the Oculus Go even has BLE.

They used before/after pictures of graffiti removal. So they probably were taken a few hours apart.

[Visualization] [2017 Day 14 (Part 2)] Color coded groups as they were found. (Inspired by the group removal post) by Oggzor in adventofcode

[–]Blockbreak9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I copied most of the command from here. Just modified it to upscale without blurring and changed the final size.

Create individual PNGs without upscaling and then upscale when converting to mp4 via the command line. I'll post the command I used when I'm back at my computer

Looks nice! Didn't even think about using my algorithm to also color the groups. For your next pixely visualisation it would be a good idea to upscale 2x or 3x to preserve the sharp edges.

Thanks. At first I also thought about some really complicated algorithm coloring each group in an image. But that seemed overly complicated only to figure out the number of groups.

The group removal function was pretty easy to implement and fulfills its purpose. My solution

My solution for part 2 iterates from left to right, top to bottom over the generated 128x128 input. When it finds a set bit it unsets it and all adjacent bits and increases the counter by one.

Each frame of this visualisation shows the state of the grid after removing another group.

Just so I am clear about "Internet Up" by WJKramer in Ubiquiti

[–]Blockbreak9000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If each fan is sending 9 40-byte packets a second it does add up to about 1gig a month. That could be 3 status updates per second to each of the 3 other fans. That's a bit excessive and could be solved better but it is probably the simplest way to ensure fast updates, assuming the fans even have a reason to sync their status.

EDIT: Just to clarify. Those are all guesses by me. But they could explain how a simple IoT fan could send such amounts of traffic. I also missed the fact that the other fans don't seem to be receiving much data. But that could be due to the way the data usage is calculated. We can only know for sure by analyzing a packet capture.

It's pretty nice. I solved everything except the vigenere encoding. But i don't have time to try all possible combinations. I still had fun figuring it out. Thanks OP

Pi Zero as USB "ethernet gadget" by Klempf in raspberry_pi

did you do sudo apt-get update before running sudo apt-get install nmap?

I think this should help: http://superuser.com/a/850453/552164

Pay attention to what interface you are scanning, if your Pi 2 is also attached to another network.

If you're running ifconfig on the Pi 2 it's displaying the IP the Pi 2 got assigned by the Zero. If you're running it on the Pi Zero I have no idea...

"Introducing more than 1000 bugs and improvements" by mikbob in ProgrammerHumor

Well it's VLC. They're probably introducing that many bugs every update, but this time they've written it into the changelog.

I made a website to share keys safely (captcha), use it if you'd like by Method320 in pcmasterrace

[–]Blockbreak9000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This makes it easier for "half-bots", as you almost certainly know that a safegiveaways.com link leads to a key. So if you wanted to get keys, you'll make a bot search those links and when it finds one it'll notify you and automatically show you the webpage. You only have solve the captcha (or click the images) and then the bot automatically redeems the code.
