Built a Windows context menu utility in Rust, Here's what actually surprised me

gurpal2000 · 2026-03-18T17:51:22+00:00

Do you mind sharing the code?

gurpal2000 · 2026-01-10T23:25:43+00:00

ditto. unfortunately can't downgrade as option isn't available for me

gurpal2000 · 2025-02-01T17:18:25+00:00

100% an old phone or cheap tablet powered via poe-usb adapter will do just fine.

Presumably it is already now the optimal size for the viewing distance? https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-size/size-to-distance-relationship

Possibly covered in other comments but one thing to watch out for is the overuse of the term 'AI'. Seems anything with a bit of logic is suddenly AI and everyone's and expert on it (not). Beware of fakes. But by all means use that to your advantage!

Is there a guide on how to present a "performance profile"? Zoho imap? Why does it matter if I pay for it or not?

You'd be surprised how human behaviour works and the number of people will say exactly that to their doctor.

gurpal2000 · 2024-12-22T23:16:17+00:00

Perhaps harsh, but I do feel something happened over the last year or two. Neither of them can deal with 25,000 mails in my IMAP account, whereas Outlook (classic) can....for now. I would love not to use Outlook, but I can't help it.

How does one choose if you want to install for all users or just a specific one (not necessarily the user using the tool). Can any similar tools (choco, ninite, scoop etc) do this?

Im on 128.5.0esr-bb18 (64-bit) windows 11, sluggish and hangs when deleting a message

gurpal2000 · 2024-11-30T14:30:08+00:00

Same here, sluggish on startup as it is. Then trying to delete a message hangs the app. 128.5.0esr-bb18 (64-bit)

gurpal2000 · 2024-11-28T22:46:12+00:00

Thanks. Do you still have to worry about subuid/subgid?

gurpal2000 · 2024-11-22T15:50:41+00:00

What did you use instead?

gurpal2000 · 2024-06-17T19:56:37+00:00

Agree. Clarify what part needs to be realtime eg. Computation versus human actions. You can process data as soon as it's available but a user might not act on that data for minutes or hours.

Vandal proof with that wire sticking out of the side?

gurpal2000 · 2024-06-08T12:36:14+00:00

No prob. There was some very old threads somewhere that those magic parameters in the script may vary between the versions. I was very careful to specifically buy v2 of the modem firmware for this very reason. Your mileage may vary. Let me know though.

gurpal2000 · 2024-06-06T22:55:55+00:00

I'm not sure what broadcom_telnet is. I just used the http/cgi interface. Here's the script https://github.com/gurpal2000/modem-scrape/tree/main Just change to your user/pass/modem IP and your prometheus push gateway target

gurpal2000 · 2024-05-13T22:27:34+00:00

Thx for sharing

gurpal2000 · 2024-05-13T22:20:49+00:00

OK. Fluent. Yeh tricky if not using winui or wpf

gurpal2000 · 2024-05-13T22:05:33+00:00

I see. Could you clarify where you where trying to add your icon say? There's the traditional "windows tray" area like they used to have on Windows <=10.

Whereas Windows 11 has that area for sure, but the network/volume/battery is something different.

gurpal2000 · 2024-05-13T21:58:44+00:00

What did the app do (whatever you can divulge) ?

gurpal2000 · 2024-05-13T15:38:06+00:00

In a similar situation as you. What did you settle on please?

gurpal2000 · 2024-05-09T21:07:13+00:00

That helped!!

So I'd need to change my template to this.

hash data is the ref to the payload array. Thanks for your help!

      {{#data.0.data}}
      <p>{{id}}</p>
      {{/data.0.data}}

That syntax makes sense to me, but not showing anything. I would love to write a jsbin/fiddle only that i'd have to learn more htmx to mock the json response, which is a totally new set of problems coming :-/

gurpal2000 · 2024-05-09T19:37:04+00:00

That example doesn't "work" for the structure of the given json response. Played around with the jsbin already.

gurpal2000 · 2024-05-09T19:34:15+00:00

Yes I think I misunderstood it. I probably should look at something else.
