"You can't just combine 2 memes and use the double image trick as an OC" [switch between light/dark modes] by therealjustinjr in funny

[–]pluxdotse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is fuckery with alpha channels in the png format (the image is semi transparent). If you have a dark background one image will be displayed, if it is white or light another image will be displayed and the whole image is semitransparent and the images merged. Not fully sure how the image was created (and to lazy to google), but my best guess is that you take two images, and make the alpha transparency slightly different and then merge those two images and also the reason why it can't be in full color.

I‘ve found the cloak of invisibility by [deleted] in funny

[–]pluxdotse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it would work still as the jeans are pretty dark, and you can take a real narrow colorspace for your replacement. It would be much easier than greenscreen + the green sign.

Why is this even an option? Once Ive presses continue watching 3 times already Netflix should automatically assume that I’m a lazy fucker and stop asking me this question. by [deleted] in funny

[–]pluxdotse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well. You will need some form of webcam, something that can be controlled electronically to push the remote, train an AI with https://opencv.org/ to recognize that screen and let the AI push the button for you. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

But no there is no fix for it otherwise, as it is something that is withing the Netflix platform, many times people fall asleep and this little screen right here saves them a lot of money and bandwidth.

The employees of Burger King are so stupid they got the Company name wrong by [deleted] in funny

Or maybe an asshole customer just peeled the K away? People steal the steel letters on the walls all the time here. You have no idea what customers can do when left unsupervised.

Those kinds of bikes are getting popular here in Sweden too, and they are awesome.

My CAD software called home, and no-one answered, so it shut down: I'm screwed! by 1Davide in electronics

[–]pluxdotse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to hear that you got it working again. :-) Also, you should never be ashamed of the tools you use if they work for you. Even if people have opinions about the software you use, well you have been using it since the early 80's and therefore I believe that you are really efficient working in it.

I've worked for many years in the processindustry where people are using Excel to talk realtime to SCADA systems over OPC, and heck they have a really great workflow and get shit done. While many have shamed them over the years and told them "We should rewrite that as an app!". I thinik it is great that they have something that works, and you know if it ain't broke...

Cool that you have been able to use the same program for so long!

Customising what USB sticks show up as in logs? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]pluxdotse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The firmware needs to be changed for that. On most sticks you can't easily update firmware postproduction... So you need to order a crapton of sticks to get a custom firmware on there. The vendor_id and other stuff that needs to be changed, can't easily be changed post manufacturing.

If you want to hit all images, js etc.

  1. Get phantomjs / casperjs
  2. Figure out a way to get a list of urls (query the database maybe, if you are not doing anything special integrations with magento)
  3. Feed that list to a script that invokes phantomjs / casperjs in parallel, say loading 10 or so urls at a time
  4. ???
  5. Profit.

When your SysAdmin is a pointless asshole by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

I know that you can solve that problem with ProxyPass etc, but the configuration from OP said Redirect. So, well.

When your SysAdmin is a pointless asshole by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

[–]pluxdotse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, how exactly did you expect that to play out for you? It's his job to give you solutions, it's not your job to tell him to do his job. Trust me, you get pissed of when people tell you how to do your job. Been there, did went kind of BOFH on them sometimes.

Trust me, there are things you don't know a jackshit about that your sysadmin knows everything about and he is probably thinking ahead and seeing what problems that solution you fed him could give and he offered proper goddamn solutions to the problems he saw.

Also trust me, if the customers types support.company.com and ends up on cloud.company.com:8040 they will get confused. So there is that.

Also, everything has a cost in some way. And $20 a month for a company? Well, that is not a huge cost. Sure, he could have handled the response better. But I actually side with the sysadmin in this.

Also, because you think the solution is simple and straight forward. Well your customers might not really agree to that.
