A decade or so ago, we got rid of a huge collection of about 350 laserdics - a guy drove from two states over to pick them up for his small towns community center where they would play movies for the town.
One of the frustrations about things like that is that you pretty much know someone would want them but I'm pretty much not going to go to the effort of connecting with that someone.
We call the local public library and ask if they know anyone who would be interested in x-x media we are getting rid of.
They always panic slightly thinking we're trying to give it to them (most libraries are inundated with out of date materials people donate), and are happy to give us names and numbers of churches and elderly centers who might take them.
Kaitai is very useful for reverse engineering a binary file that you have some assumptions of. I've used it for save file reverse engineering and then creating a read/write library for it. It should be usable for PDF Metadata.
Interestingly, my paternal great-great-grandfather immigrated to the U.S. in 1868 with Carlson as his last name; later in life, my sister was born in Sweden because we happened to live there at the time, and her birth certificate was written as Carlsson - tbh I always thought my dad just didn't fill things out right and hence why she has a different spelling on her lastname.
In my grandfather's and great-grandfather's time it was common to spell names in lots of different ways, at the same time. Made for interesting research for my father when he took up genealogy.
I tried three images as the prompt, all three isolated without a background, and it worked pretty decently. Nothing I would actually use, but they generated something close enough.
GoDaddy is the registry, but not the sole registrar that it can be registered through. Both NameCheap and Gandi are options - and I am sure others too.
NB: I work for GoDaddy, but am not responding in any capacity on their behalf.
Last spring, I was at my friends new at the time restaurant, when he let me know that Pete Wells was at the table behind us (and how important this night was for my friend) -- I noticed the sheer amount of food - pretty much the entire menu - that was coming and going from that table. I didn't even put it in to perspective how demanding that was on the body, since all I could think of was how I wish I had his job tasting amazing food all the time. The review came out a few weeks later, and it was a pretty nice review - took quite some time before reservations were obtainable again.
Wells has said he often dines with multiple people in order to be able to try multiple things on the menu. of course The Times is picking up the tab. I guess being a restaurant reviewer is like owning a boat - it’s tough on you but your friends love it.
Semantic UI[1] was one I used to use, both the plain CSS one as well as the React version of the library. Version 3.0 is coming (eventually), which has left it a bit outdated for a while, but it's still a solid UI library imho. I have been switching away to Tailwind.
I am rebuilding the website for a personal project of mine; the site is for a mod in a game that offers twitch integration, and in the mod, there is a "twitch chest" that only chat can open.
I added an easter egg on the website, that when you click on the chest in the footer, it follows the mouse in a similar way it would within the game -- it keeps a safe distance from the mouse to prevent interfering with it, and will repel away to that distance when moving the mouse towards it.
