You can actually do this, as a fob, but you have to buy one from a vending machine in the gym. Remembering the pin is easier.

I love reading about this sort of thing. My personal solution to the issues with the app and the wait for it to work (if it worked) was to memorize the pin. I believe I'm still quicker getting in than even the OPs solution, and with less hassle too since I don't need a device or any services.

As someone who knows SQL and doesn't develop with (Java|Type)Script this looks way more verbose and confusing.

In which format? As a list of 1s and 0s; in hex? TCP or IP if I just pasted the textual version of any binary data id captured without some form of conversion it's not good to look at. Especially if it's not accompanied by the encoding schema so you can actually make sense of it.

I'm assuming, since it's a binary encoded, the textual output would not be something you'd like to look at.

I've been using iwr for years and didn't know that the progress bar added latency! Much appreciated.

My main point to the OP was more that it's just an alias, you can remove it and use real curl if you want.

I feel like I keep harping on about Nushell but as scripting languages go it's right up there for me. Built with rust too and comes with a ton of stuff built in.

What's the niche this fills? I came across roc-lang recently which seemed interesting too, again built with rust, and opinionated on certain things common in older languages.

It doesn't have to, and obviously it's your project, but what is this offering over other languages. Why would I reach for it?

I don't think it's fair to say Microsoft hijacked the curl command. It's just an alias for a powershell cmdlet. Powershell is definitely not perfect but theres less pitfalls than bash (string quoting, etc; there's loads: https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls). I think powershell was/is a step in the right direction, but in that respective I also think Nushell is a massive improvement on top too.

All of this is opinion though, I just prefer the stuff you get out the box you don't with bash.

What about Nushell? It's still a separate install on all platforms, and not POSIX compliant (for reasons). But for me it's got all the benefits of powershell without the verboseness and imo a less obscure data structure.

Why I do programming, as a non professional programmer, is to make my life easier; to have the computer do my work for me. I program to automate manual tasks.

I've stitched disperate corporate systems that don't communicate together with autohotkey. I've used powershell to complete jobs in minutes that take other people hours. I've even used MS Access for data analysis.

As a non professional programmer I learn to use what I have access to, which you can likely see from some of the things I've used above, is not much and stuff you probably wouldn't chose.

However in my personal life where I can follow my interests I struggle with choosing which technologies to learn. I want to learn what's going to last, like SQL for example. An example might be when I went with dart and flutter for cross platform app development, despite it constantly being said that Google will abandon. There were just too many we'd frameworks to chose from, flutter seemed like a no brainer, and it's been pretty great.

This is a bit of a ramble so tl;dr, I learn was useful and hopefully long lasting.

I really like draw.io, I've used it for a number of things including wireframing an app and creating cheatsheets for things.

It's definitely not as frictionless as excalidraw though. Excalidraw, whilst not as powerful as draw.io has the interface down correctly.

I like my privacy. I'm not using grapheneOS yet because I've not bought one of the limited number of devices it can run on.

But honestly, of course criminals are gonna use these devices with grapheneOS, for the same reasons any one interested in their privacy would. And if the police notice a trend towards it why wouldn't they state so and look to use that as an indicator. Why is there a probkem with this?

What are the prerequisites hardware-wise for Recall? If it's the case you need certain hardware for it to run properly then not having that hardware is a good migration.

What lead you to choose that over say obsidian, notion, Joplin, and the many others that pretty much do the same thing?
