A friend of mine would always put `<blink>` around his middle name as a quick and dirty way to test for missing escaping and possible xss. Back in the day this was surprisingly effective at uncovering problems :-)

A friend of mine recently let the domain used for documentation of Pykka, a Python actor library, expire. Some of course registered the domain, resurected the content and injected ads/spam/SEO junk. Since the documentation is Apac

The plan for mopidy-spotify was to move towards web-api for everything we could to be on the official APIs where possible. So the end state would have been only streaming left on libspotify, then figure out how to get librespot and GStreame

The way auth tokens are setup for Mopidy-Spotify you hold the encryption key for the blob with the OAuth data, and the intermediate server just has an id and the encrypted data. Note that the id is not a Spotify OAuth client-id but an int

I wonder how much of this is free trial abuse like https://therecord.media/crypto-mining-gangs-are-running-amok... and how much was real trials?

Having gotten a Swiss C-permit (permanent residency) myself on the five year fast track it was rather easy. But looking at previous interactions it all feels very dependent on what privilege you have in the form of your nationality. If you

Correct, it's basically pre-cut parchment paper. The thing to watch out for though is that the parchment paper is not suited for baking (mainly thinner and cheaper), we once baked a pizza on the matpakke type and it was a pain to get t

Note that the tool does not seem to filter out revoked keys, or take expiration into account. You have to cross check against what (sub)keys you still have in use.

I actually had a lot of luck creating such a timetable website[0] for NTNU in Trondheim, Norway. Initial version did hacky scraping, eventually I found a database, after the site site gained traction the IME Faculty (IT, Maths, Electrical e

Streaming is only available through libspotify or the beta SDK on IOS. Rumors from #spotify on freenode indicate that the SDK for other platforms is still being worked on. But once it ships it will provide a minimal lib for streaming and th

Same conclusion we also had in https://github.com/mopidy/pyspotify/issues/139 when looking at if we should move away from libspotify in favor of the new web API. For now I would stick with libspotify wrappers

Populate a http://developer.echonest.com/docs/v4/tasteprofile.html with the listening history and you can use it for dynamic playlisting using the spotify catalog. That is as long as echonest matches the song meta

This idea keeps coming up and I believe mopidy is perfect for building such a system (of course I am biased as one of the main contributors). The way to go about building this with mopidy is essentially one of the following: - Create the vo

Do you mean playlist management? The upcomming 0.19 release has a target of fixing that for the MPD frontend, from there the backend authors just need to make sure they implement the right interfaces and this will work. CUE sheets as in usi

Single stream at this point in time, so you would need a mopidy instance per output. So doable but not pretty or something I would really recommend.

You can control mopidy remotely, but not yet stream to remote clients.

Normally you would have one machine hooked up to your speakers and then use clients on the other ones to control the central music server. In the longer run I keep wanting to get https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy/is

Part of the reason for having started mopidy was that we wanted something MPD like, but with Spotify support, which at the time was not reasonable to integrate directly. Now we've evolved quite a bit since then and are now at a stage w

We still have a few blockers for proper streaming support. But we are slowly but surely getting closer to have something like that working. https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy/issues?labels=EOS&state=ope...

Last year in September a tax delinquent program for expats was enacted, what this means is basically that you need to file the last three years of taxes, and the last six years of FBAR (for the years you had more than 10K USD in your accoun

The way the US tax treaties work you get tax credits for your local taxes. So if you live in Scandinavia with high taxes, say 40% you have enough credits to offset all of your ~30% US taxes. But if you are in a low tax country, say 20% you

This tax scheme also causes a lot of trouble for kids who had the bad fortune of being born in the US, without growing up there or any other real ties to the country. You are still subject to the tax rules, are technically breaking the law
