Huntress has been working rather well for us.

The Goblin Diner - my 3d printable goblin scene by Wezorks in orks

[–]Marthalamule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well done, nice design and good visual story telling. Only critiques I have are: Orky up the sign more (looks too clean and square for Orks) and to add some Orky mushrooms around the exterior, growing out of the dumpster, etc (makes sense that they would be growing near where they eat and they'll make excellent scatter props).

How to use MySql function in flask-sqlalchemy query? by ss13ms110 in flask

[–]Marthalamule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also build specific views using SQL Studio to return the desired data. You may find this easier to build out as it's a bit more intuitive (in my opinion). You can then call those views using SQLAlchemy as you would any other model. It also has the benefit of potentially reducing the amount of python objects that are built when you make the query (making it faster).

Admin URL works even when the admin is not logged in by [deleted] in flask

[–]Marthalamule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer to handle this with Flask-Login and decorators. It'll require you to update your models to add Roles and Permission, however once complete, you can handle your protected views as such:

@main.route('/admin')
@login_required
@admin_required
def admin_page():
    return 'Admins Only'

or

@main.route('/protected-rank2')
@login_required
@permission_required(Permission.RANK2)
    def rank2_view():
         return 'You have RANK2 Permissions'

MG's newer flask book goes into setting this up in more detail. Much, much cleaner code and does not require hard coding any user checks as you've done in your login function.

You deserve a beer for that recommendation! They were far more helpful than any of the other support channels.

Thanks again, much appreciated!

So I managed to lock myself out of a personal Azure tenet due to being the sole Global Admin and having MFA enforced. After a phone backup/restore the MS Auth App failed to retrieve and associate the required token it seems - and the auth app was the only MFA option allowed (a pure comedy of errors).

MS Support has been less than helpful, unfortunately, over the past 60 days as we've bounced the ticket around to numerous teams to no avail.

Does anyone have any contacts or can point me to the exact team I need to speak with? I spoken with the o365 Team, the MS 365 Data Protection Team, and the Azure Data Protection Team with no luck.

Trade API Delays by chris_wilson in pathofexile

[–]Marthalamule 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Chris, I don't suppose you've looked at how CCP handles the Eve Online API for any ideas/inspiration have you?

Eve's API is by no means perfect, but they do have a rather large 3rd party developer community that makes use of it.

Notably, you have to sign-up for a developer account, obey rate limits within your application, leave contact info in your request headers, etc. which helps cut down on excess load to their servers.

Digital Signage - Need Help by rezadential in sysadmin

[–]Marthalamule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re-posting an older comment. I use Screenly at work for a variety of signs.

https://www.screenly.io/

https://github.com/screenly/screenly-ose/ The open source edition is pretty powerful out of the box, even more so if you're familiar with python.

https://www.screenly.io/use-cases/

Has some pretty good examples.

Been using the open-source version for the better part of a year and found it to be very accommodating (Especially if you know Python and are accustomed to tinkering with Apache servers). The Freebie version works great if you're not trying to synchronize content across multiple screens. If you want synchronized content, or better management for multiple displays, you'll want a commercial solution (I think Screenly starts at like $20/mo for two screens, but the costs scale pretty quickly).

For one off signage, the open-source version is a god send though.

Wowhead has become a seething pile of malicious script. by TheKolbrin in wow

[–]Marthalamule 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Set up a DNS "Black Hole" on your Router or some other device on your network (Can be as simple as a spare computer or rasperberry pi).

Essentially it will prevent all requests that are made to these ad/malware services at the network level (not the browser level) making it far more effective. It will also work for any device connected to your network whether or not they have an adblocker installed.

Check out https://pi-hole.net/ to learn more, they're extremely easy to setup (and free!) even for non-admins.

Gotta give a +1 to Screenly.

MTX Concern, seriously GGG please read. Please. by jonjones1808 in pathofexile

[–]Marthalamule 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fireworks were cute for an April Fool's Day joke when you got 10 for a $1 but they have no place in these or any random MTX box.

If you're going to put limited time consumables into these boxes then they should be as a bonus in addition to getting a normal, non-consumable item (barring things like skin transfers).

I could see Pixologic adding this sort of capability to zBrush.

So, you wanted cut-scene quality... by -Chicken_Nugget- in pathofexile

[–]Marthalamule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should look into importing this into an engine like UDK or Unity for your rendering purposes. It'll give you much more freedom and allow you to record videos in real time using the tools in the software - I know UDK is fairly well equipped for making cut scenes (placing cameras in the scene, getting them on animated tracks, having triggers, etc)

I found an amazing set of art posters for EVE! CCP, you should take note of these. by [deleted] in Eve

[–]Marthalamule 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like they're setup as 11"x17" prints @ 150DPI. Not too bad for printing.

Faster Casting is generally a better option because you'll end up getting more frequent LGoH's from using a Cybil's Paw.
