This thread is specifically for sharing your learning/musings/stories from any tinkering/hacking you did around a piece of software, code, network protocol, API’s or a piece of hardware etc. The aim of this thread is to provide a platform for you to share your learnings so that people can have fun reading your write-up/blog/short-details and also gain more knowledge from it.
What do I mean when I say share X stuff while you were trying to do Y ?
(linking some examples here)
Were you/You were:
- messing around trying to find live tracking data of your local buses ?
- just randomly surfing the internet and all of a sudden you found out that the Actor Shammi Kapoor was one of the core members of the early Internet Users Club and he used to call himself a Mac Man.
- trying to fix a nextcloud instance which broke because you enabled SSO/SAML extension without really configuring it or having any idea how to use it.
- willing to relive your childhood, so you ended up Self Hosting your own TV Channel?
- Parsing 140 gigabytes of chess dataset for a college project task
and etc. The above are some examples to give you an idea of what is a good example to share but not limited to anything.
Please share anything where you have had fun trying to fix your problem (or just finding a preexisting solution) in both hardware/software.
