As an author of a PDF library this is hilarious, because the number of bugs I have received over the years where this is unintentionally happening is quite high.


If someone who actually has to deal with the PDF standard can't help OP, I don't think anybody can.


I find that the watts are not the same on the Peloton vs Kickr. Watts seem to read lower on the Peloton. What is your take?


Any plans to use the Open Graph tags and also fetch images?


The bot uses the title and description Open Graph rags to render the copy in the image. I’m working on adding a logo that is generated from the favicon and setting the color to match the page!


Would be nice to also show any the associated open graph image as well.


This is similar to my project: http://www.dodolabs.io/ Which is a retro 6502 portable game console.


I think that tape-like piece that you removed from the SSD compartment is actually the thermal pad that makes contact between the SSD and the MSI heat sink cover so you may actually want that!


Have you seen https://www.relive.cc/ ?


My friends just moved to Pittsburgh and bought a great house for 108k. This is literally 95% less than a comparable home in Silicon Valley.


and he probably got a backyard with it too. In CA, you don't even get that. Why pay 1 to 2 million dollars in CA for a house when you can't even have a backyard?


Kind of plugging my own project here, but I too am a software developer that found great joy from breaking away from all the layers of abstraction and working directly with the hardware. I created a portable game system with the 6502:

This is awesome!


I had a fun bug once where some functionality involving self sign certificates stopped working on Feb 29th. It came down to us simply adding +10 to the year for the expiration. There is no Feb 29th 10 years into the future, only 4, 8, 12, etc... That was a good lesson on why to always use a date library when adding or subtracting time. We weren't the only ones... Azure went down for the same reason that day.


Would this be a suitable replacement for SpiderMonkey as an embedded JS engine for a Desktop Application?


Many projects use duktape (https://duktape.org/)


There's also XS6 engine. But I dislike the macro trickery in that one.

Looks like QuickJS doesn't use setjmp/longjmp, as opposed to duktape. I really like this, as it will simplify memory management inside C functions, and allow to use gcc cleanup functions.


So I used QuickJS for a while today and it's the easiest JS engine of those I used so far (Duktape, XS6) to embed, even without extensive docs.

I can't be happier that it doesn't use setjmp/longjmp to handle exceptions. It makes memory management easier.

Everything is very straightforward. You can even get ref leaks report if you use -DDUMP_LEAKS.
