The other day I discovered this handy Python script for instantly creating a simple web server for its current directory. It doesn’t offer any scripting functionality like PHP, but it’s useful for testing an interactive site or HTML5 app locally without CORS restrictions.

I will give my thoughts on it although I’m not great at painting so it wont be an artistic review :rofl:

that sucks , hooray for cloudflare :star::star::star::star::star:

I had my infinityfree website go down so many times until I added cloudflare and was shocked to find a ddos attack coming from google cloud servers in the netherlands with the worse day being 15 million hits in 1 hour !

Good Luck Oxy :+1:

So much for Replit’s stance on their users.

They essentially threw away the concept of access to coding for all and said ā€œlet’s go enterprise!ā€

I’m not going to pay ~$300 a year just so I can code for more than 20 minutes a day & 600 minutes a month, + get more than 3 repls and other some other stuff.

Thank you - everything is fine, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to the forum :rofl:
Looking at the logs - 90% of it was actually blocked by my list of 450 ASNs,
CF bot protection did the rest.

You should buy this one because as far as I can see it has a bigger screen and resolution :joy: you also get peripherals !

For whatever reason I decided to check cpanel.ifastnet.com

So I was expecting the cPanel to load… until VistaPanel showed up!

But why? :thinking: Does iFastNet use the free hosting infrastructure to host their main website?

Thanks - I haven’t been away as I take a quick look in here most days, but just haven’t commented on anything.

Incidentally, I’m currently adapting a chainsaw for remote control use to cut an awkward tree down log by log without anyone needing to be up there with it while it’s running. The tree leans over a wall and shades a neighbour’s garden, and it was never supposed to be there. This is the safest way to bring it down without smashing anything.

In the past I have used a single line of bash in linux for testing stuff locally
while true; do { echo -ne "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\nContent-Length: $(wc -c <index.html)\r\n\r\n"; cat index.html; } | nc -l -p 8080; done

These days now that I have a linux desktop gui I just double click on the html file :smiley:

Well today I plugged it in to test it, wasn’t happy that I had to install a driver to make it work as I dont like installing strange things on my linux laptop

The first issue I had was the screen in the tablet kept saying no signal even though the usb and hdmi cables were connected but I managed to fix that by holding down buttons 4 and 5 on the tablet to bring up the hidden osd menu and select reset, after I used the osd to adjust the backlight from 50% to 100%

The screen is good, the black is black and not grey :+1: , the colors are vivid and look pretty accurate

The second issue is that I had linux display settings configured for my laptop screen (1366x768) as my default monitor and the tablet screen (1920x1080) as the 2nd monitor but found that the mouse pointer was not following the pen correctly and it seemed like the x and y scaling was incorrect

As a quick fix I disabled my laptop screen and set the tablet as my default display in linux display settings and this fixed the issue, I’m sure there is a way to set this up correctly and I’ll have to dig deeper into the manual

I configured the side buttons for some useful functions like move, brush size +/-, zoom in/out, canvas rotation etc using huions configuration app

I fired up Krita art editor and began testing the tablet and it seems to work really well, I was working on a canvas of 4000x3000 pixels and drawing was very smooth with the brushes tracking the pen perfectly

I’ve only spent around 10 mins playing with this but so far I’m very pleased and think its really great value at Ā£130, I need to use it for a while and see whats possible as it not only has pressure sensitivity (tested and working great) but also a 60 degree pen tilt detection (this I haven’t figured out yet) so I’ll experiment some more
