  • The writer uses the terms “locked out” and “frozen”, but also says that she is not allowed to share documents any longer and maybe unable to access her documents from a tablet and a phone, but perhaps still from a laptop? (The article reads like a fucken drama piece instead of… you know… actual journalism).

    If she has any type of access, it seems like it is very easy to fix permanently:

    • Download documents.
    • Register a domain.
    • Get a hosted Wordpress or some other foolproof CMS.
    • Put documents there.

    Don’t rely on a free service for something that has value you.






  • This has huge potential. What I personally look for in a podcast solution is:

    • Web/desktop player
    • Sync between players (down to seconds)
    • Organize subscribed podcasts with folders/tags
    • Per podcast/folder/tag settings for “automatically add to queue”
    • Some way of dealing with older (backlog) episodes (built-in or via an API)

    For now, I’m using Pocketcasts which pretty much does what I need, except for handling the backlog, which I do with a homemade python-script that adds backlog episodes to my playlist whenever it has less than 4 hours of playtime left, using Pocketcast’s web player REST API. The result is an endless playlist where newly released episodes are played within a few hours and older episodes are sprinkled on with no real need for micro-managing episodes in the playlist.

    It looks like web/desktop players and sync is already in scope, but are there any “advanced” podcast organization features on your roadmap?










  • I’m not familiar with the TRegExpr engine and its quirks, so I could be wrong about some or all of this, but let’s try anyway:

    The characters in the brackets describe a set of characters, but without any quantifier after the brackets, they will only match a single character. If you want to match an entire string, you should begin the regex with a ^ character (which means “start of string” when outside brackets), have a quantifier such as * or + after the list and then end it with $ (“end of string”).

    The ^ character reverses the list, so it will match any characters not in the list. This may be what you want (i.e. to copy all the files that matches because they do not contain the characters in the list), but I feel that it should be mentioned.

    I suspect that you may need to escape the / character with a . And since the error message mentions * and ? I’d also try escaping those.

    So to match only the filenames that are FAT32 safe, I’d try something like this:

    ^[^\\\/:\*\?\"<>|]+$

    https://regex101.com/ is a great site for learning regex so I’d recommend that you try it out there (and keep in mind that different regex engines can have subtle differences, but sadly the site doesn’t do TRegExpr).
