Comes the day, comes a new angle from which you discover the person you thought you knew... well, not personally knew, but still... Turns out, Jason Statham was a professional diver. Yes, that Jason Statham. The very Jason Statham.

Apparently, a method (one of many methods?) exists that makes it possible to steal your computer's (or other device's) sensitive information, such as passwords, without physical access. This particular one involves intercepting electromagnetic radiation from HDMI cables that connect your device to a screen and 'feeding' it to AI, i.e., effectively reading your screen text with up to 70% accuracy.

Looks Like Publii Might Fix HTML Errors When Processing and Generating Your Website Files

28 Jul 2024 20:38

This might be old news for some (or most?) Publii enthusiasts, but since I’ve just stumbled upon it and this blog is my own space, I’m going to note it here. It turns out that Publii’s nifty processing magic does a pretty solid job of fixing HTML errors (or at least some of them) behind the scenes. I did a bit of playing around by inserting some <div>, <a>, and <span> tags into the files of the Publii theme I’m using and then “forgetting” to close them with </div>, </a>, and </span>. Guess what? The resulting HTML generated by Publii had all the correct closing tags in all the right places.

Nice to know.

Q: I'm looking for a piece of software on Linux that can help me generate QR codes. Ideally, something that can be easily installed on Linux Mint.

A: You can try qrencode. It's a command-line tool that can be installed either from the Terminal using sudo apt-get install qrencode or from the Software Manager (just type 'qrencode' in the search bar). Once installed, it can be launched from the Terminal like this: qrencode -o 'YourOutputFileName.png' 'Your text or URL here'. For example, if I wanted a QR code for my https://fmr.life site, I'd type qrencode -o fmrlifeqr.png 'https://fmr.life'. The output file fmrlifeqr.png would be saved in the Home folder.
