Snippet

Purpose of this page is to list various Group Policies that I’ve set, to strip out all the useless nonsense from Windows 10. Get rid of search suggestions within Explorer

I use yt-dlp for downloading videos from YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, etc. A full list of all the “extractors” is available here. Here are some of the download strings I use:

Even though I’ve literally purchased a couple of the ISO standards, I’m unable to open the files on Linux without access to a Windows VM (within which I can run their stupid PDF de-DRM-er).

CMake manpages are about the most verbose manpages on the planet. All I wanted to do was import an external project and customise the build options without having to go and add files into the child project / patch them / whatever.

I had a small project to display some simple stats for, for some static content sitting in an AWS S3 bucket. I could have forwarded everything to Elastic+Kibana and showed some fancy graphs and charts, but I was only being asked for what I could easily produce via AWStats.

For S3 logging, awstats needs its LogFormat set up in the following manner: %other %extra1 %time1 %host %logname %other %method %url %methodurl %code %other %extra2 %bytesd %other %extra3 %refererquot %uaquot %other %other %other %other %other %virtualname %other Amazon’s documentation is available here

In my case, I had data stored in a Realm file that I needed to re-export to JSON. First of all we’ll need Realm Studio. Set up, open the Realm file and then export the models, as shown:

PhysioNet data is available in binary (dat) form but their web site also provides records in JSON. These records include samples / measurements from 12-lead ECGs recorded at 1ksps. To convert these to CSV we can use the ol’ jq:

Another one for the todo list. Fancy plotting leads I/II/III out and making and interactive scroller for time vs vector / direction. Input data might be from here or here. Unfortunately both of these are for synthesising a single lead.

For a small project I was working on, I wanted to distribute video via MPEG-DASH instead of my usual go-to, HLS. Like HLS, MPEG-DASH supports delivering video via adaptive bit rates.
