I like the Windows 10 Robot emoji, it reminds me of SDF Macross.

And hereā€™s another one that I like but I donā€™t remember the source of the image.

The best robot emoji would logically have to be the best robot:

Lock rantā€¦ not sure if this is the hacker in me, or me been ā€œdoneā€ with stuff lately

Soo, new houseā€¦ I ultimately didnā€™t go rfid locks because I couldnā€™t find anything that worked besides the townsteel which is 350$ā€¦. And extremely hard to justify when I can just get a plain digital keypad lock for 50$ā€¦ which results in the same ā€œno keyā€ lifestyle
(And I need 3x locks)

So I bought 3x of the digital keypad locksā€¦.

They are likely going to each come with a different key, in addition there is going to be a set of 3 doorknobs (keyed alike, but previous owners keys)

So I need to re-key 6x locks

Not that big of a deal, Iā€™ll call aroundā€¦ Iā€™ll find a locksmith and Iā€™ll go the extra step of pulling the lock cylinders out of the locks, and bring them to himā€¦ so it should be like an hour of work at the most right?

2-3 places have quoted me at 250-350$

Iā€™ve never pinned a lock but I know bits and pieces, I figured Iā€™d pay 30-50 bucks and let someone who can do it in their sleep take care of it

But

35$ later and I have all the tools Iā€™ll need, standard pins and even 2-3 security pins for each cylinder, and a pretty decent understand of what Iā€™m doing

How later will probably go

Speaking of frustrations with locks. Iā€™m staying at a best western and the locks on the doors are that kind of poor design that absolutely will not work with my xM1. I had to resort to my backup which is a magic gen1a fob on my car keys.

On the upside my roommate loves that I can clone the hotel key to the fob on his car keys.

Yea my Xm1 was kinda specifically for hotelsā€¦ but itā€™s seeming less and less likely that the Xm1 will be up to that taskā€¦
I should probably upgrade to a flex at some point

I am seriously considering getting a flexM1 because of it. I want to do more traveling like this so it seems like a good idea.

After so many years working on thisā€¦ Iā€™m finally upgraded with proper Apex Mega Spectrum prototypes.

Just love how youā€™re some sort of black market pharmacy, fully stuffed with anaesthetics and seemingly tons of needles as well :smile:

Not where where to post this ā€¦ at work the proxy detects the images hosted on the forum as part of a third-party sharing website and blocks the images.

Itā€™s because the URLs contains forum-dangerousthings-com.s3.us-west-002.backblazeb2.com so itā€™s detected as part of Backblaze B2 service.

Is there a way to change this, so the URL for images is similar to https://forum.dangerousthings.com/bb/original/3X/d/c/dc712daa3698696b770743c6cdd11349ca50e705.jpeg and redirected behind the scenes on the webserver (with a rewrite plugin) , so no backblazeb2.com part and a /bb in the path ?

Thats tear worthy

It would require active proxying on our server sideā€¦ like redirection wonā€™t work because, well, it will just redirect your browser to go get the image from backblaze and your proxy will block it againā€¦ so our server would have to go fetch the image from backblaze and feed it through to your browserā€¦ and iā€™m not sure this is possible with a simple nginx config.
