I found out about this on Youtube. It's a concept album that sounds like a mix of 80s self-help tapes and vaporwave. I find the presentation interesting, in this early PC era lookalike. If you click on "Listen" you'll hear the music, with some backstory on [1].

I'm not a developer for Windows apps but had to use WiX to generate an installer for a Python open source project I am collaborating with. Installing one binary in a specific location? Easy. Couple hundred files distributed among multiple nested directories? That was a miserable experience and but I could manage to pull it off. I didn't use heat. The XML was hand-coded and the file listing was generated with a Python script that walked the directory tree and generated the Directory, Component and ComponentGroup entries.

Apparently with Wix4, heat is deprecated, unneeded in Wix5. I couldn't even get it to install and have the executable. So confusing!


heh, I recently "ported" a Linux app to Windows and wrote a simple installer using wix 5 (it was horrible)

to even obtain wix v5: first, using scoop, I installed "dotnet-sdk"; second, using the "dotnet" command, I got the wix.exe executable via

> dotnet tool install --prerelease --global wix


Re: accented letters

I have been using the US international keyboard both at home and at work. It is a blessing so that I don't have to change keyboard layouts when changing languages, since it provides grave and acute accents (e.g. for French), the double s German letter and umlauts, euro symbol, etc. and also plays nice with programming languages and UNIX shell: for instance, quick access to slash, curly and square brackets with the same modifier key, backticks without modifier keys. Another advantage is that the layout is the same as the US keyboard you are already used to, just that some keys have new effects.


I personally use OpenSMTPd for SMTP and Dovecot for IMAP. For spam filtering Rspamd does the job perfectly.


I don't know about laser-scanning drones but for street-level imagery Mapillary and OpenStreetCam do the job. That is, if they have users around the area you're interested in.


A discussion about Mapillary vs OSC https://github.com/openstreetcam/openstreetcam.org/issues/60

I'll go for OSC for future projects. Thanks for sharing.


When the OP's view has somehow changed, or they find a compelling argument, they "award" a delta. It's a message with the delta letter that acknowledges the change of view.

I think you put a lot of effort in developing a quick and easy registration process. I loved how it was unveiling fields as you were progressing on the process. However, the email registration template contains stuff that is not mentioned on the homepage, such as a trial period. Here's what I got:

Ack, I forgot to update the plaintext version of the welcome email template -- there is no trial and Kismet is completely free. Thank you for pointing this out!


No problem, I supposed that would be the issue. Glad i could be of help!


RootBSD [1] has been around for quite a while. I personally use fileMEDIA [2] and LunaNode. fileMEDIA provides a set of isos, among which you can find FreeBSD, OpenBSD and DragonflyBSD (i personally requested them the DFBSD one). On LunaNode you can upload any ISO image or qcow2 file you'd like.
