Hey this could be cool! But I'm getting inconsistent results. I can not seem to reveal the message on Android in the Chrome browser (or any other browser). On mac I can reveal the first image and get a second, but I am unable to reveal the message in the second image no matter what I do. I've tried with passlok.com/stego and the Firefox plugin, but always get "This image does not contain anything, or perhaps the password is wrong". I assume that the second image is rendering properly (a maze-ish pattern?), but I guess it could be corrupted somehow?

Alternative to Vector Magic in c/[email protected]

Hey! I'm not sure if this is exactly what your are looking for, but I use Inkscape for all my vector graphics needs. It does have a trace function to help convert raster images into vector, which might help. And you can do CTRL+L to simplify it. I have used it for creating SVGs for a vynal cutter, which might be similar to what you are doing? I've used it on Linux, Mac and Windows without much issue.. but there might be a little learning curve.

Good luck!

I hope that something like web3 domains might fix things like this someday. Instead of borrowing the domain from a registrar, the immutable record is owned and maintained by you.

From places that I have lived and worked - in western NY it is Pop in Rochester and Buffalo, but somewhere between Rochester and Syracuse it becomes Soda! Also, it is quite shocking to go to Texas and be asked "What kind of Coke do you want?"

Why is a wizard on the right using a nice easy distro? Wouldn't he be more of an LFS kind of guy?

You spelled French Fries wrong.

Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds? in c/[email protected]

Then you'll really like to hear that not only do I edit the file with vim on the production server, but I did it as root after a "sudo su"... and then I committed the change from prod.. with svn.. only so that I could bring my dev environment up to speed with what is now in production with an svn update.

Oh man, that's totally me! But I can't tell you why it is so appealing to my demographic. I don't know anyone IRL here and nothing about it seems like it would scare off everyone else...

BUT while we are all here:

Trapper Keepers
Garbage Pail Kids
Music on cassette tapes
Vim > Emacs

Alright, I want your food recommendations! in c/[email protected]

Surprised that nobody mentioned the Hots places for Garbage/Trash/Dumpster Plates yet. It's kind of the thing around here, and no Rochester experience is complete without them!

Nick Taou Hots
Empire Hots
Webster Hots
Henrietta Hots
Schallers
Fairport Hots

And like a million others!

I like to get the Cheeseburg Plate with Mac and Homefris and everything on it.
