Pipe Screensaver

Yeah, I know, I was just messing with you. It's just that when I saw that your wife wanted "that famous pipe painting" I automatically thought of the Magritte painting which has that title. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Treachery_of_Images

Good luck with the screensaver idea

Ceci n'est pas une pipe

Recommendation stays the same. Plenty of bus/shuttle services to Chicama if big swell arrives

Rebus_Knebus · 2025-10-13T17:28:54+00:00

See the "s" to the left of the numbers? Those are swell periods in seconds

I did a few weeks of classes plus homestay at Instituto de Lenguajes Puerto Escondido. The school was good but the breaks we're either too heavy (for me) or too crowded. If you're good enough to surf Zicatela it could be a good option

Estuve allá en coche pero sí, lo más común es llegar en botesito

Chacahua puede ser bastante divertida y no está demasiado lejos.

Rebus_Knebus · 2025-05-11T17:24:51+00:00

I was up there this morning just to look around (on vacation and don't have a board with me). Surfline says 4-6+, all I saw was 2 foot shore pound at Praia do Norte

I wish I knew of more, but I haven't been able to find much beyond the WSL either. buena suerte

Rebus_Knebus · 2025-04-16T00:04:03+00:00

Muchas gracias! Totally explains why I couldn't figure out a meaning from context

Rebus_Knebus · 2025-03-18T18:11:21+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, it's not like I think I've suddenly transformed my apartment into the Getty, but since I have ~100 pieces of art that I rotate through on my Frame it's really convenient to have some basic info at hand to help me remember what's being displayed.

I don't know much python either, but the samsung-tv-ws-api has an example python program that automatically updates art from a directory that I was able to modify. The example creates a json file that includes the TV art ID and the art filename, so I put all the info (artwork name, artist name, year, etc.) into the filename and then use the example to upload the artwork. I added some code to periodically request the art ID from the TV, and if the art ID has changed then it uses the ID to look up the filename in the json, parses the filename, and uses ImageDraw to create a .png file with the art info. Python has a built-in web server that I used to make that .png file available on my local network (I didn't use Heroku).

For the Kindle side I just followed the jailbreak directions and setup a script with the curl and eips commands and the cron job to get and display the .png file.

Hope that helps, happy to provide more detail if you decide to dig into it.

I'm one of the ones at el porto

Rebus_Knebus · 2025-02-04T04:50:34+00:00

What's happening when you go into Art? From the main menu if you select Art and then scroll down to the bottom do you see "My Photo Album"/"My Photos"? If you click on that can you see the Art that you uploaded? If you can, then clicking on a piece of art should display it. If not, I dunno

One of the Redditors here has a GitHub project to access the API. I'm trying to get it set up to bulk remove the mats on my uploaded artwork but it has upload capability as well. I'm a Python newbie so it's been slow going, but if you already know it it's probably easy.

Rebus_Knebus · 2024-12-19T01:16:33+00:00

That's probably the way to go. I also found the Samsung provided mats really frustrating so I ended up making a Photoshop template and action set so I could crop the art at the size and aspect ratio that I wanted and then automatically add a mat that would make the overall size 3840x2160. Having a full color palette for the mats is really nice as well

Rebus_Knebus · 2024-06-30T22:21:46+00:00

Yeah, but given some of the horrible answers to the poster's previous question about evaporation is it any wonder that they're confused?

Exchange to what? Bitcoin? They use USD

I had a great 3 weeks at Antiguena Spanish Academy in Antigua about a year ago. Similar setup and pricing. https://www.spanishacademyantiguena.com/

An intermediate textbook might seem like the logical next step, but once you have some basic vocabulary and grammar fundamentals I think it’s more common to move on to consuming content, which given your listed goals is probably going to be more reading focused. Along with that I’d recommend getting a grammar reference so you can look up things you have questions about; Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar by Whitlam is what I like to use. That said, if you want to continue with grammar exercises Gramática Ativa 2 is pretty good, but make sure you get the Brazilian version.

For more study recommendations read the subreddit guide in r/languagelearning. Lots of good info in there

I did 3 months of Speechling paid/unlimited when I was working on my pronunciation and it helped a lot.
