A: Recurring monthly events by day of the week in Thunderbird? I ended up dropping Thunderbird last summer when a significant crash "exiled" me to a lower-powered laptop, and I can't find any useful screenshots online, so I may have fallen a bit out of date. It's definitely there, though. I believe that you set Repeat to Custom... at the bottom of the drop... (more) |

A: Search tool for PDF content with verbatim text including special characters The big sticking point (you obviously know that, since you kept running into the same issue of needing to escape certain characters) is that too many of these systems want to have their own regular expression (or similar) engine. Poking around for something where that could be turned off, I foun... (more) |

Oh, that was useless of me. It needs `xmllint` installed to find the URLs in the sitemap, and lines #2-8 are specific to my setup (only runs on the first Saturday of the month and assembling the sitemap URL) if so, but the full-archive script lives here. https://codeberg.org/jcolag/entropy-arbit...

It does sound like they did some solid work on the feature. And actually, now that you mention the manual step, I'd bet that there's either an API endpoint at the other end of the button or a normal HTML form submission. I don't know nearly enough about WordPress's innards to know what to even ... (more) |

A: What are best practices for keeping my blog in version control repository (Wordpress in a git repo)? My blog uses Jekyll to generate a static website, so that I don't need to fuss with server software (except for when I do need a server...), so you might need to tweak certain parts of this scheme, but I do keep everything under version control. In my case, it's as much because I release under a... (more) |

I'd rather have gone with another solution, but this will have to suffice. (more) |

A: 2FAuth Self-Hosted, Unable to Register To update/resolve this for anybody else stumbling through with the same problem... After following somebody's suggestion and taking a look at how the application's user interface communicated with everything else, it became clear that the user interface doesn't respect the "what path should th...

Again with the caveat that we won't know for sure until this actually rolls out, I would have to *assume* not, because giving anybody else the ability to approve an app would immediately expose the lie that only Google can keep the ecosystem safe, which would give independent developers a legal c...

A: How does Google's Android developer registration affect sideloading and other stores? While we don't know the details, and Google might back down with enough push-back, the effects on other stores seem fairly straightforward: They don't need to change anything, because they can still "distribute" apps, but official-Android might refuse any subset of those apps if the developer di...

2FAuth Self-Hosted, Unable to Register I'm trying to set up 2FAuth on a local server (old Raspberry Pi, Debian), alongside some other services. Following the self-hosting directions, I believe that I managed to get the code running, and I can get at the page, but can't register the first/administrative/only account. Presumably, so...

A: How can I copy the ChatGPT answer as Markdown? I haven't found ChatGPT (or similar systems) useful enough to have a solution specific to them, but for almost everything on the web, I use a browser extension called MarkDownload. You can grab it for Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Safari. In fact, I grabbed the links from its Git... (more) |

Turning a Makehuman Surface into a Solid I've worked for a while with OpenSCAD as a nice tool to quickly build pieces to then export for 3D printing. In a new use case, I'd like the object to include a human-like arm or head. Think in terms of parts for a model for assembly, here, where OpenSCAD code might divvy up the body parts and ... (more) |

I probably meant to exclude that, since it *only* has those symbols, but the silliness and usefulness of `unicode-range` makes me too giddy to care about my oversight, and it definitely solves the problem... (more) |
