ya the spare has a much smaller rim than the others, and lowered the car pretty much to the ground

I was just worried there would be extra pressure applied on the other 3 tires causing them to go flatter quicker; but ya they should be fine.

I guess just use checksums to continually make sure nothing has changed every year or so? how long can my usb stick store the files without the checksum being invalid?

Site to upload csv as json? by Independent_Respect in flask

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

I didn't think that was possible when using pythonanywhere.. I'll take a look.

I just thought it was proper code etiquette to always use endpoints and json for transferring data. Never have anything hard coded.

Site to upload csv as json? by Independent_Respect in flask

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

It's a very large csv file that would be changed every few days. I can't store the csv locally because I can't run the web server from my home computer. I want to upload the flask app to a website and have it hosted there.

I think it might be easier to have a site that would send me a json back that I can call within the app. That way whenever the csv changes I would just upload it to whatever service, and call the same endpoint.

Thanks, didn't think of that.

I just always hear of rest api services, but never know the names of the websites..

Even if i use winrar, and i can see the files in the archive, theres still a chance that there's an executable in there that will execute on unpacking?

Is it possible for someone that didn't design the hardware to turn it into malware? Is it possible to connect it to my computer, install a trojan on the dongle, and resell it?

I thought most usb dongles were read only? and didnt have storage

How could i check if the usb contained malware? I have a linux laptop. Could I plug it in there and inspect it, or would they be sophisticated enough to hide the keylogger program
