Upon recently trying Deezer again, I found their web app ate all my memory when running in Firefox, so I decided to see if I could find out why. I got as far as memory-file-data/string and Blobs. Here's how.
In a culmination of litter surveys and litter picks, linked data and data exploration, and remoteStorage and ActivityPub, I have created a web-based litter pick/survey app that I hope will allow federated citizen science.
My latest litter pick target was Hoe Stream and the White Rose Lane Local Nature Reserve. Here's how it went.
I just created a Gitlab CI job to create a release with information from a CHANGELOG.md file for some of my projects. Here's how I did it.
I noticed something strange happening during build process during a multi-tasking bug fix. Turns out I was using Gitlab CI's caching incorrectly. I should have been using artifacts. Here's what I saw.
As a birthday treat, I took the day off work to try out my electronerised litter picker. Here's how it went.
In preparation for a day of litter picking, I finally got round to a project idea - attaching a camera to a litter picker to record it all. Here's what I did.
I finally started implementing UI testing on first-draft using WebdriverIO. While writing tests was easy, getting the tests running was a little more difficult. Here is how I did it.
Hooray! My new blog is live! Based on Sapper, using MongoDB and eventually ActivityPub and ActivityStreams, it will be my federated posting hub to the world.
Creating this new blog, I wanted to make sure there was no metadata data leaking personal information. Here's how I removed all the metadata tags except the ones I wanted from my photos.
Using tmux
for your terminal multiplexer but want an easy to reattach to a session? Here's a small bash script to do it.
Here's how to help your readers save time by making your post's shell commands easy to select and copy - with a simple CSS property.
Making my new blog, I didn't initially set the published dates to be native dates in the database. Here what I did to change them ...and do all the upgrades I needed.
I recently needed to test that some Vue components were creating the correct HTML. To do this, I decided to create snapshots of Object representations of the rendered HTML.
HTML5 number inputs aren't useful, but tel inputs, have all the power
I decided to look into the extortion emails I have been getting and wrote a small script to extract the bitcoin addresses that have been used.
As part of my pledge not to upgrade, I decided to repair two of my failing mice instead of replacing them with a brand new model (as tempting as it was). Here's what I did.
So I recently ran into a little bug in an Angular/RxJS web app we are developing. If you had the app open in multiple tabs, you could log out of one tab and continue to navigate around the app on other tabs, as long as you visited pages that the data had been downloaded for (which is stored in a RxJS state).
Our app stores some information in the browsers LocalStorage that is cleared when you user is logged out. This made it nice and easy to use this value and the storage
event to log out the user on all tabs when the value was cleared, and once the user logs back in (and the value is set again), take them back to where they were on all tabs. Below is a gist of Javascript to show a way of handling the storage
event.
Observer.fromEvent(window, 'storage').subscribe((event) => {
if (event.key === 'mydata') {
if (!event.newValue) {
window.sessionStorage.setItem('redirect', this.router.url);
this.app.logout();
} else if (!event.oldVale && this.app.checkLogin()) {
const redirect = window.sessionStorage.getItem('redirect');
if (redirect) {
this.router.navigateByUrl(redirect);
window.sessionStorage.removeItem('redirect');
}
}
}
}
});
