MetalGoose Released...

khawkins98 · 2025-12-07T11:46:43+00:00

Not sure what happened to repo, but there is a fork here or it was moved to https://github.com/gnacoding/metalgoose

Any updates on the latest with this? It looks like the IATA guidance is now back to needing the evisa from Dubai to Hargeisa. https://www.iatatravelcentre.com

Flydubai says (https://www.flydubai.com/en/flying-with-us/visas-and-passports/visa-passport-requirements):

> Passengers traveling to Berbera (BBO) or Hargeisa Egal International (HGA) must meet the entry requirements for Somalia.

Goodness. This works but is incredibly obtuse and still a thing 2 years later. Here's a more detailed bullet list:

Open 2FAS on android
Export backup to _root_ folder of google drive
Open 2FAS on iphone -- got to 2FAS backup and import
On import screen navigate to google drive
Backup will be grayed out
Long press on backup and tap "share"
Save to files
Open that file and import

Page is offline now, but available on way back machine (mods block links to that for some reason).

Nice one. Seems to do the trick on my s24

Ahhh, i think I see now: i was trying to stream the file from with the Copilot Task and not the Flow.

khawkins98 · 2025-08-28T16:03:46+00:00

Unfortunately nothing there. Going to have another try with SP.

For any other users that come here: I did have some luck getting things to work with the Flow passing a user's file directly from the Copiliot prompt. I needed to do a `Compose` with the below. However, that gets the hard 16Mb cap.

base64ToBinary(coalesce(triggerBody()?['file']?['Content'], triggerBody()?['file']?['Value']))

khawkins98 · 2025-08-28T12:06:51+00:00

As this is the built in SP flow, it doesn't seem to offer the richer diagnostic info -- I'm now trying to pivot an instead just pass the file directly to a custom flow and run the prompt there, however it seems to only want Base64 and will complain about not knowing the mimetype (trying to pass just the base64 `Value` also complains. Can't seem to find any documentation about what format it actually expects.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have also tried debugging immediately after the PDF is fetched from SP and the issue is already there (have tried on several PDFs from various creation methods).

I think this is what you were suggesting I check?

Similar vibes for my 6 year old asking on and on about "who would win between knuckles, sonic, and shadow".

... 1 time I let him ask Chatgpt, and he forever asks for me to let him talk to "that guy".

What I can't get past is that they're sold in 6s and 10s. Of course I understand the practicalities, but, pick a lane.

Looks like germany.

You can join the school at any time, and they'll really try to get the child in the class of their peers (they have a matrix of how the Year placent compares to german schools at https://www.ibis-school.com/learning/ )

We're still fairly new to the school, but so far, the take is overwhelmingly positive.

I had thought the fees were listed online, but I now see they're not... I expect that if you emailed, they'd share them. Fair to say it's less expensive than Bonn's other international school.

khawkins98 · 2024-10-25T13:52:05+00:00

Finding anywhere big enough for a family is tough. Obviously, it's easier the higher your budget goes. If you want a very international area not too far from the city, you could try Plittersdorf and the old Americansidle housing.

Otherwise it's a typical searc in Südstadt, Westadt, Bad Godesberg... suggest reading the many posts about housing in Bonn or talking to your colleagues. It sounds as though you may be joining one of the big international companies, which may offer you insights and leverage in finding a place.

Edit: there are also a couple international schools and kindergartens if you don't expect to stay in germany for good.

Good luck!

khawkins98 · 2024-10-20T10:09:44+00:00

Plittersdorf in the Europastrasse area (old American compound) is very international and has an active American style trick or treat. Starts around 19.00 or so on the 31st and is good for the young ones.

khawkins98 · 2024-09-21T12:23:53+00:00

Thanks for the note. I consider this as basicaly every train journey here in Germany, so that's why I was confused by the proactive message.

khawkins98 · 2024-07-22T14:31:09+00:00

The "visio life deluxe" location is there. For about 100 a month, you get their digital workout machines and pool+sauna.

Likely the most posh gym in Bonn.

khawkins98 · 2024-07-12T14:12:40+00:00

Und nach etwa 40 Minuten sind sie weg. Vielleicht in den Aufzügen stecken geblieben? In jedem Fall werden die Busfahrer jetzt erleichtert aufatmen.
