Just Do It Challenge: Revival Edition

It looks like I will be doing two FWD transmission removals (one at the junkyard in the rain tomorrow) and one install, so I guess that can be my challenge. I was hoping to pick something less intense, but those were the cards I was dealt. Lucky for me I love the heck out of wrenching on cars, and the rain is way better than croaking in the heat.

Then again, I did once write in my phone “Ace Pick-A-Part, a good place to die” two years ago this August in case I did give up the ghost. 50% off means $66.88 for a trans after taxes!

Edit - Does this have to be something made from scratch? I’m sure I will use/make homemade tools along the way.

no, whole point of the thread is to encourage people to do things, and share it

Awesome. I figured as much, but all of the examples seemed more creative and with life getting flipped upside down on me I’ve had to put off more creative projects for a few weeks.

I’mma go ahead and count this as my [Just Do It Challenge].

In reality, I had put it off for a little while (read two months…) but it’s done now!

So, I got a copy of my Facebook Data (and messenger data) and they have made it available in multiple formats.

  • HTML
  • JSON

The download for me was roughly 15 gigabytes. This is because I’ve had a Facebook account for over 10 years. The information that they provide to 3rd parties is just insane… surprised there isn’t more outrage about facebook just handing out your contact information to any 3rd party group that asks for it…

But back to the main point of this post, because it is available via JSON it will be pretty damn easy to sort out and build a tool for it.

nah I think I got it. Serves me right for trying to roll something out 5 minutes before I had to leave for work.

That would be cool, and very helpful for people who are conscious about their privacy.

Everything on my always minimalist and often retro website.
https://joshroybal.com
Built with Slackware-64 Linux 14.2, apache, html5, css, php, MariaDB, cgi-bin [GNU/gcc toolchain (gcc/g++/gfortran), clang, GNU Cobol, Perl 5] JS, shell scripts (mostly bash), and probably some other stuff I’ve forgotten I used. I haven’t forgotten Python (2.7.16 & 3.7.2) which is what I automate tweeting out my github feed with.

I still have not got it right. I know now that you can’t boot from an LVM. I am going to try to set up the boot as normal and build a RAID above that.

Nice!

Digging the retro.

Speaking of website, I just rolled out a new feature to my site, where it pull’s from Discord’s REST API and I can see who is online and their status. Lots of people just embed the iframe widget, I went a little extra :wink:

Nice. Why not sort and group by Status? Could put online, away and offline in three rows side-by-side. Would make better use of the space while needing less scrolling, and providing a better grasp on who’s on and off…
