I just had the Eversense 365 inserted yesterday, warmup finished this morning and I am now experiencing the joy of trying to get the transmitter properly placed on my arm over the sensor (plus derm strips plus the bandage as the incision heals).

What I'm running into is that I'll get the transmitter placed with an excellent signal but it changes as I move my arm into different positions, and the app on the phone will periodically tell me that the sensor isn't detected. I'm not sure if loose skin is causing it or if there's just a weak signal through the bandaging or what?

Does the connection get better when the bandaging comes off in a few days? Is it always this finicky? Or do most people

I was scrolling on Instagram (iOS app) in the manner I tell myself I really shouldn't be doing, just doomscrolling, suspending conscious thought in exchange for favorite posters talking about the latest reasons to hate waking up in the morning as one does. News commentary. Yet another "trend" that rises and dies with the implicit "subscribe to my other platform" call to actions. AI animations meant to horrify or laugh.

A post is scrolled up, it starts a video playing but after about a second and a half it...hiccups?...and disappears, replaced by a post that looks like a post, sort of, but feels off. Probably nothing or I hit some control with my thumb, I don't know, keep scrolling.

I tried watching a movie last night called Hostile Dimensions, and in the first few minutes it appeared a main character had a septum piercing, and I was just...it's a hard to describe feeling, but I feel a kind of disgusted revulsion towards that particular form of piercing. I already avoided that Jenna Ortega horror-ish movie about accidentally killing a unicorn because I saw in the trailer that most of the movie had a character with a septum piercing. With the rise in popularity of them now (it seems), I more and more just can't stand seeing media where people have them in. It feels worse when I go through a checkout line and the cashier has the piercing in the middle of their nose.

I hope this post fits this subreddit requirements. Ordinarily I'd just find a way to justify "letting this go" but...has anyone else been unable to actually PAY name.com for renewals on domains?

I had a message that my auto-renewal wouldn't go through. Checked site, the credit card listed had expired. Fine. Went to billing, opened that card profile, updated the information, but when I clicked on the button to submit the changes there was a "required parameter missing" error. Every field was filled in. No indication what the problem was. "Required parameter missing."

This was using Firefox on the Mac. I opened incognito, tried again. Same error.

Deleted that card and re-

Maybe my memory is fuzzy or I'm misremembering, but is 8-Bit Guy the person who went around filming himself with a gun in public places to make light of a shooting or a group who wanted gun control after a kid was killed? Could someone clarify if this was something that happened? I really don't want to think that happened if it didn't because...well, it's really screwed up, in my opinion, but it's not beyond possibility anymore. Or maybe it was something not so extreme that he would do this, if he did that.

I am posting this mostly as a question to other Xubuntu users to ask if anyone has noticed similar behavior; I'm sorry I can't post in-depth troubleshooting as I've ended up with a partial solution and figured it wouldn't hurt if someone knows more about the behavior or if this is something unique to my setup.

I am running Xubuntu in UTM, basically a front-end to make QEMU easier to use on a Mac. I wanted to create a new VM so I downloaded the latest LTS ISO and installed it on a VM with similar "hardware" to a working VM I've been using. The installation went without any issues, nothing special, whole disk formatted and used for the OS and didn't use custom configuration options to encrypt

I'm in the process of unpacking a brand new 3D printer and wondered if anyone has used Goxel to create 3D models that can be printed? https://goxel.xyz/

Does it use a format that the Bambu printer will understand?

If I get an A1 combo and place 2 spools of the same color, then print something that takes up more than a spool (or one spool is low on filament available), will the printer switch automatically to the second spool?

If I want to download and install the Go compiler and packages to a specific directory, copy a source file to a subdirectory in that tree, have all the packages installed necessary for that source file to compile with the imports, and output the binary to a specific directory in that tree, what must be set to do that? Would I need to check particular compiler flags to target a certain number of processor cores or do binaries use all the available cores on whatever system the binary is run?

What I'd hope to do is automate steps to submit a source file or set of source files and have the latest Go installed, pull the latest packages and compile the binaries to return back to another computer

Still a learner, so I may be missing something really BASIC but...

I want to generate an RSA private key struct and save it to a database as an AES encrypted string, then retrieve it, decrypt it using AES, and extract the public key for sharing as a string.

First the key is generated:

func CreateRSAPrivateKeyStruct() string {

`rsaPrivateKey := RSAKeypairGeneration()`

`// Convert the private key struct to []byte`

`btRSAPrivateKey := x509.MarshalPKCS1PrivateKey(rsaPrivateKey)`

`// Now convert the []byte to base64 encoded string`

`strRSAPrivateKey := base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString(btRSAPrivateKey)`

`return strRSAPrivateKey`

}

The pair generation is just:

`func RSAKeyp

I hope I can properly describe this question and that it fits for this subreddit...

If someone wanted to create a programming language that can open a canvas window capable of displaying text, graphics, etc. on Windows, MacOS, and Linux, and compiles to binaries without dependencies. How would something like this be implemented?

When looking at languages that can (seemingly) do something like this, such as PureBasic or Xojo, are they just wrapping their language around existing libraries native to the target platform? Would you have to create these graphical elements by directly calling functions in the target operating system's libraries, so "under the hood" looks like C calls but are abs

Greetings! There's a story on Lobste.rs about MacOS's SQLite not being ACID compliant out of box:

https://lobste.rs/s/bwxtxw/sqlite_on_macos_not_acid_compliant_with

I wonder if using SQLite in my Go applications would be affected by expected "native" SQLite libraries on various platforms. When I use a SQLite DB in a Go application, does it use an existing library if it exists on the platform, or does it import and "encapsulate" its own version of the SQLite engine?

I'm trying to narrow down what's happening on my parent's laptop, a MacBook Air M1 running Sonoma 14.3.1 and currently running Sophos Home 10.6.0. When 10.6.0 is running, the shield on the Finder bar goes orange, saying the system is vulnerable.

Logging into the web interface says everything is fine.

If I run the uninstaller and reinstall Sophos Home (the uninstaller always tells me the removal failed but doesn't seem to hurt anything; I assumed it was leaving some extension or config in place) using the "share" link to get the installer from the management page, the shield reappears in the menu bar and is black. The "About" in the menu says that it's running Sophos 10.5.0.

If I tell it t

Hoping there's some examples available on "properly" handling this...

I'm using the database/sql package to access a SQL DB.

I create a sql.Rows returned from a .Query(), then iterate over results using .Next().

In that loop it seems I need to store results by creating a set of variables; I first create a set of sql.NullString variables, then I perform a check to see if that result (via .Scan(&HoldingVariable)) is .Valid, and if not, I manually assign a value to another variable that I'll perform future operations on. Otherwise nulls cause crashes.

The issue I'm running into is that the number of variables I'm declaring to scan values into needs to match the number of rows returned, a v

I recently asked about networking an emulated C64, to which it sounds like the consensus is network programming for the C64 involves a strait jacket or getting a version of Contiki working on the VM, which in my attempts to get it to work still involves a strait jacket...

So new question; what about connecting to a remote system using a fake modem? How can this be done and used through a BASIC application to just "talk" to another system?

I feel like I'm close with a setup, but I am missing something in getting the fake "modem" to respond properly. The configuration:

On MacOS (although a Linux system should work the same way?) I have tcpser launched with:
