How I use Linux to write software for multiple target platforms – Kris Kamil Jacewicz – Google+
WINE has come a long way. Many things do not have a native look and feel, but so do many Delphi FMX or Lazarus LCL applications.
In fact I use quite a few tools (including Mikrotik WinBox) through Wine on Mac OS and it runs a lot more stable than quite a few of the FMX applications I’ve tried and ditched.
So for business applications not requiring a platform specific look and feel this indeed is quite acceptable direction to follow.

The StackOverflow screenshot it out-dated so a new one is below.
- In the
Settings menu, choose Preferences...
- In the
Preferences dialog, choose Language
- Ensure the (default empty)
Replace by space checkbox is checked
- Optionally change the
Tab size from 4 to another suitable value
I prefer these settings:

When logging on a Mikrotik is high-volume, then you need to have either:
- separate logging actions (they end up in logging buffers each having the same name as the action) and logging rules for specific information that you want to retain
- log to file in stead of memory
Since my devices have plenty memory, I made a separate accountAction with a rule sending the topic account to accountAction which I then can query like either of these:
/log print detail where message~"logged"
/log print detail where message~"logged" && buffer=accountAction
Here is the /system logging export condensed result:
/system logging action add name=accountAction target=memory
/system logging add action=accountAction topics=account

Since the CPS I used was increasing the subscription cost to above zero, the the price difference to KPN was too large, so I wanted to switch back and needed the KPN CPS code.
From [WayBack] Het verschil tussen WLR en CPS I found out the CPS code for KPN is 1655.
Then I called 0800-1273 to set it back and then verified it was set back for all destinations on all ISDN numbers.
It’s time to research how to move away from ISDN anyway, but that’s a different story.

Via Use deep learning to 4x your photo’s resolutionAs seen on TV! What if you could increase the resolution of your photos using technology from CSI labs… – Joe C. Hecht – – Google + [WayBack]
Use deep learning to 4x your photo’s resolution
As seen on TV! What if you could increase the resolution of your photos using technology from CSI laboratories? Thanks to deep learning and #NeuralEnhance, it’s now possible to train a neural network to zoom in to your images at 2x or even 4x. You’ll get even better results by increasing the number of neurons or training with a dataset similar to your low resolution image. The catch? The neural network is hallucinating details based on its training from example images. It’s not reconstructing your photo exactly as it would have been if it was HD. That’s only possible in Hollywood — but using deep learning as “Creative AI” works and its just as cool! Here’s how you can get started..

Yay!
Windows 10 automatically restart the PC whenever it installed updates that required a mandatory reboot in order to finish installed. User can no longer delay or postpone a restart indefinitely. […]
The source Permanently Disable & Prevent Automatic Restart of Windows Update in Windows 10 – Tech Journey [WayBack] describes steps to fix a bunch of scenarios:
- Disable Reboot Task
- Stop the re-enabling of Reboot task
- Group Policy (but people reported that Windows 10 ignores the policy when comes to mandatory reboot required for installing updates)
- Prevent Updates from Installing by forcing your WiFi to act like a “metered” connection
- Prevent Updates from Installing by setting the Configure Automatic Updates setting in your Local Group Policy Editor
- For Windows 10 Home edition (that misses the Local Group Policy Editor) setting the above value directly in the registry
