Rob @r0b.io · 31/10/2025I had a CD that would not rip on Windows/iTunes and sounded awful when played. I gave it a last chance from my home server which happened to have an CD drive in it and it worked! Feels pretty cool to be doing it from the CLI too. The CD drive does sound like it's on its last legs though 😅 000

Rob @r0b.io · 22/07/2025I mean this is just Star Wars porn, I’m kinda here for it. So many ridiculous bits, callbacks & tropes, it’s great and silly and Star Wars. Filmic content is low and I think a lot of things would be lost on you if you didn’t know all the canon though. #Films themoviedb.org/movie/181 010

Rob @r0b.io · 02/07/2025The "createLock" method is quite simple too. It returns null when the lock was not established. If it can be locked, it writes the value to true and returns an object with the special "dispose" method. 110
Rob @r0b.io · 02/07/2025Explicit Resource Management in #JavaScript is very useful for creating semaphores/locks around code. Here's one I just wrote with #vue There's a ref that contains the lock value, the template binds to "disabled" on the form/button below. 120
Rob @r0b.io · 27/06/2025This note is getting longer and longer, I think it might have to be a full blog post at some point 100
Rob @r0b.io · 23/06/2025(excluding the hslToHex function) the JavaScript is pretty consise! There is a "Thing" API to send commands to the ESP and you use regular standards APIs like setInterval 000
Rob @r0b.io · 23/06/2025I worked on our sign again today, it's almost there! Now you can upload a JavaScript file to animate the LEDs 230

Rob @r0b.io · 15/06/2025I’ve been having a play with Dumify on #iOS to make a minimal Home Screen. It’s really nice to name things more like tools than apps. You add apps/shortcuts in their app, then use their widgets on your home screen after removing other apps. 100
Rob @r0b.io · 11/06/2025Adding a #PWA to your homescreen on #ios26 is as hard as ever, there are now 4 steps to do it! - press "..." - pick "share" - another "..." - [scroll] - "Add to homescreen" 🥵 110
Rob @r0b.io · 08/06/2025Lovely to rewatch, -0.5 for CGI changes. So cool to see the origin of what is now a massive franchise #Films themoviedb.org/movie/11 000
Rob @r0b.io · 07/06/2025Great to rewatch after Andor, it fit with the show a lot more than I was expecting but there were bits that didn’t quite work. Like seeing andor unsure about sniping Gailen after things like the events on Gorman. Such a fast pace compared to the show too, if the show took this on it could easily b 100
Rob @r0b.io · 04/06/2025I had a hack around with my GPS recorder app, I’ve been using it a lot in the background but haven’t had any time to making it into an actually usable app. 110
