Yes but do they present a stripped copy or strip it from the original?

I guess that might work. I'll have to try it on monday though it's probably more effort this way compared to just doing it manually since the snippets I have to add currently are mostly single functions with less than 20 lines
Unfortunately not because the word document is meant to be the "master" document. We aren't even supposed to export PDF versions because in the future people may see the PDF in the folder and use that as a reference instead of the main word document even though the word doc was updated and the PDF wasn't. Also I tried pandoc md conversion to docx in the past for another document and it didn't go very well. The formatting of the headers was all over the place which made it impossible to generate the Table of Contents in word
I'm not very well informed on the specifics of the DLNA standard or how it is differentiated from UPnP so take what I say here with a grain of salt. My understanding is that there are 3 device types in DLNA
- A server which provides media
- A client which can pull media from the server
- A renderer which can play back media from the client
I'm not sure if the server is necessary stricly speaking or if my device is using the underlying UPnP stuff but I can use Macast, which is a DLNA renderer, on my desktop computer and then select it as a playback device in Symfonium on my android phone where it shows up as a UPnP device.
That might work. I'll have to check it out. Thanks
I was under the impression that minidlna is exclusively a DLNA server and not a renderer. Is that wrong?
The code snippets are the worst part. God forbid I ever have to update them because I have to manually indent every line in them correctly
Oh yes definitely. I currently have to write the technical documentation for a project I am working on in MS Word because that's the format my supervisor wants (since everyone in the organisation already has word installed by default and knows how to use it at least somewhat). Probably a quarter of the time I spend writing is lost to fighting the formatting in word. I managed to have stuff happen that my coworkers have never seen word do before like taking the content of all my textfields (which I use for pasting code snippets) and having it duplicated inside each textfield...
I wished I could use LaTeX for it but I understand the argument that some people after me may have to work on the project who don't know LaTeX.
I'm gonna upvote the git + plain markdown solution simply because it is a very basic solution that does not depend on a lot of specific software in case you want to switch in the future. I had a look at obsidian in the past but discarded that idea because it required a license for commercial use back then which it seems they either changed or I misread the terms at the time.
Still I am a fan of going as low-tech as possible with note formats so that I can easily hand down my notes to whoever comes after me and they won't need a special program to open anything.
Quarto looks nice and would be something I would look into if I did more data heavy work. As it is I only write technical notes and documentation for software for which plain markdown is perfectly suitable.
I talked to Microsoft Copilot 3 times for work related reasons because I couldn't find something in documentation. I was lied to 3 times. It either made stuff up about how the thing I asked about works or even invented entirely new configuration settings
I have no idea about the SOCKS5 part but protonvpn supports port forwarding at least.
From left to right:
- TWSBI Diamond Mini Classic 1.1mm stub nib
- Pelikan 140 M(?) nib
- Unknown Kondor pen
- Lamy CP1 F nib
- Lamy joy 1.5mm stub nib
The TWSBI is the only pen in this collection that I actually bought. The rest came into my possession through family and as such are mostly older pens.
The Pelikan 140 is by far the oldest and my current favorite alongside the TWSBI. From what I've been able to find, this one was manufactured somewhere between 1955-1963. It is also the only pen in my collection with an actual gold nib.
The Kondor, just like the TWSBI and Pelikan is a piston filler and has a in my opinion strangely shaped nib. It is slightly scratchy unfortunately.
The Lamy CP1 is the pen that I used the longest out of all of these and was my daily driver during my later school years. Back then I had an M nib on it which I later switched for an F. Despite it being a beatufil sleek pen, I rarely use it anymore since the grip section tends to accumulate some ink near the front. This combined with my very close grib means that I always get ink on my fingers when writing with it. I am not sure if this is a defect of my specific pen or is something that has been fixed in newer models as this pen is apparently also quite old, based on the "Made in W. Germany" inscription under the clip. This pen also tends to be kind of unwieldy when used with the cap posted, as the cap is made of a much heavier metal than the rest of the pen, making it unbalanced.
The Lamy joy is a pen I briefly tried but found to have a much too thick nib for my daily use. Compared to the TWSBI it is also kind of scratchy.
