And the sucking commences

I wanted my first post to be from the command line.
I just love the command line and it will rule forever.

Thanks 4 listening,

On the recent Noso outage

To me this outage comes with no surprise. To be fair, I'm actually astounded that it hasn't happened before. You see, the code that drives the entire chain is done in Pascal. Not even in Object Pascal, which is the most recent and Object Oriented Programming version of the Pascal dialect. It's written in a dialect version of Pascal that has been out of fashion since the early 1990s. While this is not a bad thing in itself, as can be proven for the more than 4 years of operation of this coin, it's not a good thing due to lack of easy ways to scale it or even maintain it. And, mainly due to that, no one as ever wanted to actually dive into the code and find any relevant security issues. Welp... Looks like someone finally said: Hold my beer!!! I'm not quite sure what that person found that is so easy to attack and provides such a devastating effect, but from my own foray into the code, it's not that hard to find. All the code was done with standards from the early ...

Seeing What Files Are Getting Downloaded from Your GitHub Releases

Ever wondered which of your binaries, installers or assets on your GitHub releases are actually being downloaded? That neat total-downloads badge does its job, but it hides the part many of us really care about: which file , how many times , on each release . Good news: you can pull that info using the GitHub API. Let’s dive in. The Problem When you use the standard UI of a GitHub repo, you can see the Releases tab, browse tags, assets, etc. But you won’t reliably see download counts for each attached asset. That means less insight into which asset people pick, and less feedback on what builds or platforms are most used. The Solution: Using the GitHub CLI + API Here’s how you can pull download-counts for release assets: gh api repos/:owner/:repo/releases \ --jq '.[] | {tag_name, assets: [.assets[] | {name, download_count}]}' Or just for the latest release: gh api repos/:owner/:repo/releases/latest \ --jq '.assets[] | {name, download_count}' You’ll ...

CEO Companion Application

Image
So I've been playing this little game: The Settlers Online - Castle Empire It's a game of patience and it won't appeal to all the strategy genre lovers, but it's a dream come through to me. I've been hooked on the "The Settlers" saga for quite a long time, ever since I've had a go at the very first one, in the 90's. So when I stumbled upon this on the Chrome App Shop, I couldn't resist!! But just playing the game wasn't enough. I had to give something back, to both the people that made the game and the ones that have the same love for it as me. So I decided to create a companion application with some content and the ever useful calculators for the various in-game strategies. So " CEO Companion " was born! The application is open source and is still in the early development stage. You can find, the project page: here . the download page: here . the bug report page: here . Give it a go and tell me what you think ...
