Windows – chance display/screen/monitor resolution from the console

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/01/24

Links:

[WayBack] QRes by Anders Kjersem which I started using around the Windows NT 4 era and still works

Command line Examples:

qres.exe /x:640 Changes resolution to 640 x 480.

qres.exe /x 1280 /y 1024 Changes resolution to 1280 x 1024. (If your graphics card supports it)

qres.exe /c:8 Changes color resolution to 256 colors.

qres.exe /c:16 Changes color resolution to high color (16 bit).

qres.exe /c:24 Changes color resolution to true color (24 bit).**

qres.exe /r:0 Changes the refresh rate to Adapter Default.*

qres.exe /r:-1 Changes the refresh rate to Optimal.*

qres.exe /r:80 Changes the refresh rate to 80 Hz.

[WayBack] NirCmd Command Reference – setdisplay which can also set this on a per monitor base

setdisplay 800 600 24 -updatereg
setdisplay 1024 768 24 90
setdisplay 1024 768 8
setdisplay monitor:1 1024 768 24 90
setdisplay monitor:name1 1024 768 24 90

parameter order is x y depth refresh where x and y are display resolution in pixels, depth is color depth bits, and refresh is in Hertz.
[WayBack] QRes @ Sourceforge open source at [WayBack] QRes – Windows screen mode changer download | SourceForge.net
[WayBack] Any way of changing Windows screen resolution via command line? – Super User shows more options including PowerShell ones.

TODO: find out the differences in both qres tools.

Richard P Feynman – FUN TO IMAGINE (full)

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/01/24

On my watch list: Richard P Feynman – FUN TO IMAGINE (full) – YouTube

The first 5 minutes are already so great and full of imagination, that I need to find time to watch it once more after already watching it 2 times in full with some time in-between to reflect.

Viewing certbot installed certificates and their expiry dates

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/01/24

A simple tip on the certbot command-line from [WayBack] User Guide — Certbot 0.19.0.dev0 documentation – Managing certificates (Automatically enable HTTPS on your website with EFF’s Certbot, deploying Let’s Encrypt certificates.):

To view a list of the certificates Certbot knows about, run the certificates subcommand:

certbot certificates

This returns information in the following format:

Found the following certs:
  Certificate Name: example.com
    Domains: example.com, www.example.com
    Expiry Date: 2017-02-19 19:53:00+00:00 (VALID: 30 days)
    Certificate Path: /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem
    Private Key Path: /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem

If your tool depends on others, at least search for them…

If you auto-configure, then at least try searching the tools you need:

Of Course Psychological Safety…But How? – John Cutler – Medium

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/01/23

On my reading list: [WayBack] Of Course Psychological Safety…But How? – John Cutler – Medium

Medium indicates it is an 8 minute tread, but since I’m more on the non-people side of the spectrum, digesting it will take quite some time needing multiple reeds.

Marjan is a great coach on the personal and agility side of things.
