kandi X-RAY | desktop Summary

desktop is a C++ library. desktop has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However desktop has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

This is the desktop client for the Private Internet Access VPN service. It consists of an unprivileged thin GUI client (the "client") and a privileged background service/daemon (the "daemon"). The daemon runs a single instance on the machine and is responsible for not only network configuration but also settings and account handling, talking to PIA servers as necessary. The client meanwhile runs in each active user's desktop and consists almost entirely of presentation logic. No matter how many users are active on a machine, they control the same single VPN instance and share a single PIA account. The project uses Qt 5 for cross-platform development, both in the client and daemon. The client GUI is based on Qt Quick, which uses declarative markup language and JavaScript and offers hardware accelerated rendering when available. Qt and Qt Quick tend to be more memory and CPU efficient compared to web-based UI frameworks like Electron or NW.js.

PowerShell: Invoke-WebRequest - Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Uri'

Asked 2021-Jun-15 at 21:03

I'm trying to help a developer who is trying to harden a web server against server-side request forgery. In short, I've wrote a script that sends a "forged" HTTP request which we will use to test against the server until it is configured to not respond to such manipulated requests. I'm getting an error on Invoke-WebRequest: "Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Uri'" and while I've tried a ton of different combos of the below code I cannot get it to fly. Any thoughts?

Save Outlook Mailitem to local folder

Asked 2021-Jun-15 at 19:38

The following code does everything I want: pulls email, saves attachments, extracts files EXCEPT save the original email to the folder fDest. I seem unable to see the solution.

This seems to be the problematic line as it won't save the email: "mi.SaveAs fDest2, olMSG"

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Jun-15 at 19:38

You must be sure there are no invalid characters in the filename. See What characters are forbidden in Windows and Linux directory names? for more information. So, I'd suggest using the Replace method available in VBA before passing anything to the SaveAs method.

Another point is that you need to specify unique file names to each email. Make sure the generated file name is unique for a folder.

QUESTION

Calling a function in another function to reduce repeated code

Asked 2021-Jun-15 at 17:51

I have two functions one thats triggered on a mouseenter event and the other on mouseleave. Both of these functions are repeated three times.

On mouseenter the classlist "active" is addded 5x and the text content is changed. On mouseleave the classlist active is removed 5x and the text content is set to an empty string, and the original image is displayed again.

When the mouseenter event listener is triggered, Depending on which image is being hovered (3 images).
the text content property that gets added various between the three "Photosnap" "Dine" "Nike".
As-well as the background color that gets triggered various between "red" "blue" "pink".

Hover state shown as red left image and normal state shown as right image
-The image shown here is one of three. It is displayed with a red background and the text content of "photosnap".
-The other with a blue background and the text content of "Dine".
-The third and final with a pink background and the text content of "Nike".

I hope this paints a clear picture i am having a hard time making this a code snippet.

I am trying to refactor this javascript so its not so repetitive. I'm new to javascript and having a hard time getting this to work as something other than what i currently have. I'm not clear on how to make a function that i can call inside of other functions to cut down on the repeated code. Or possibly use the "this" keyword ?

Javascript--

Yes you're using 3 times the same function, so we sure can do better. Here is a first simple idea, make a loop on the tree elements :

Trying to copy a set of specific strings from many text files in a directory and paste them in a new text file

I am pretty new to python and I am trying to sort through a directory's files that start with 'O0' and copy any string in the text files that has an 'F', 'T', or 'S' in them, and paste, preferably just that string, (but the whole line would still work) in a new text file, preferably on the desktop.

In the first place you are probably getting an AttributeError error that append is not known. Because you try to append your text to the TextIOwrapper (feeds speeds). You have to use the write method to append the text to the file content.

Also note that your file is read and written from the current directory, so ./feedsspeeds.txt. As long as you are not executing this script from you Desktop folder, the file will also not be written there.

You need to check for "q" before you use the value. You need to convert given to float BEFORE you add it in to the sum. The statement count+1 does nothing; it computes count + 1 and throws it away. This should work.

QUESTION

Parse JSON for data after keyword

Asked 2021-Jun-15 at 16:31

I have some JSON data in Google Sheets that I wish to parse for the data after a keyword, eg:

"splashtopname":"DESKTOP-XXYYZZ"

This is in the middle of the JSON data which is delimited by commas eg:

"cpuidentifier":"Intel64 Family 6 Model 92 Stepping 9","splashtopname":"DESKTOP-XXYYZZ","splashtopversion":"3.4.6.2",

What I want to do is extract DESKTOP-XXYYZZ only from this (however this string length is variable and not fixed, nor does it always begin DESKTOP). I am stumped as to the formula to get this output, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Using REGEXEXTRACT should achieve your wanted data.

Formula:

=REGEXEXTRACT(A1, """splashtopname"":""([^""]*)""")

Simply extract from pattern "splashtopname":"" via regex.

pickle a list as UTF-8

Asked 2021-Jun-15 at 15:37

I want to import all files from one directory to my sql. But I have to make the same changes to each original .htb file first. The problem with the original file is that

I don't want to import the column headers and the 2nd line because its blank
I need to change \t\t\t\n to only \n so MySQL knows where fields and lines end
I need to remove -----\n because it only has 1 column which doesn't match my tabe (4 columns) Here's how the original .htb file looks like:

Beschreibung\t Kurzbeschreibung\t Einheit\t Wert\t\t\t\n

\n

Hub\t Hub\t mm\t 150.000000000000\t\t\t\n

Bohrung\t Bohru\t mm\t 135.000000000000\t\t\t\n

-----\n

so far I have managed to create a list of all files. My next step would be to write that list to 1 single file which I can then edit. The problem I have is that I get a format issue when I save the list do a file. I want the final file to have utf8 format. this is what I want my file to look like:

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Apr-13 at 10:47

pickle produces a binary format, which includes per field "header" bytes (describing type, length, and for some pickle protocols, framing data) that are going to look like garbage text if you view the output as text. You can't say "I want it to be pickle, but not have these bytes" because those bytes are part of the pickle serialization format. If you don't want those bytes, you need to choose a different serialization format (presumably using a custom serializer that matches this HTB format). This has nothing to do with UTF-8 encoding or lack thereof (your input is ASCII), the problem is that you are demanding a result that's literally impossible within the limits of your design.

The following targets can be passed to rake. The default target is stage, which stages the built client, daemon, and dependencies for local testing (but does not build installers, tests, etc.). :point_right: In 2.3.0 and earlier, PIA used a qbs-based build system, along with postprocessing to generate final installer artifacts in the various platform build scripts. This is now all done using Rake, the qbs build system has been removed. The build system has several properties that can be configured, either in the environment or by passing the appropriate variables to rake. These are implemented in rake/build.rb. The output directory name includes the current brand, variant, and architecture.
Installation on Mac uses SMJobBless to install a privileged helper that does the installation. Mac OS requires the app to be signed in order to install and use the helper. If the app is not signed, it will not be able to install or uninstall itself (you can still install or uninstall manually by running the install script with sudo.). PIA_CODESIGN_CERT must be set to the full common name of the certificate to sign with. (codesign allows a partial match, but the full CN is needed for various Info.plist files.). To test installation, you can generate a self-signed certificate and sign with that.
Open Keychain Access
Create a new keychain Right-click in the Keychains pane and select "New Keychain..." Give it a name (such as "PIA codesign") and password
Generate a self-signed code signing certificate Select your new keychain In the menu bar, select Keychain Access > Certificate Assistant > Create a Certificate... Enter a name, such as "PIA codesign", it does not have to match the keychain name Keep the default identity type "Self Signed Root" Change the certificate type to "Code Signing" Click Create, then Continue
Optional - disable "lock after inactivity" for your keychain Right-click on the keychain and select "Change Settings for Keychain" Turn off locking options as desired
Use the certificate to sign your PIA build Qt Creator: Select Projects on the left sidebar, and go to the build settings for your current kit Expand "Build Environment" Add a new variable named PIA_CODESIGN_CERT, and set the value to the common name for your certificate Manual builds with build-macos.sh Just set PIA_CODESIGN_CERT to the common name you gave the certificate when building
