Documentation of Tuya's weird compression scheme for IR codes

[Tuya][]'s IR blasters, like the [ZS08][], have the ability to both learn and blast generic IR codes. These IR codes are given to the user as an opaque string, like this:

A/IEiwFAAwbJAfIE8gSLIAUBiwFAC+ADAwuLAfIE8gSLAckBRx9AB0ADBskB8gTyBIsgBQGLAUALA4sB8gRAB8ADBfIEiwHJAeARLwHJAeAFAwHyBOC5LwGLAeA97wOLAfIE4RcfBYsB8gTyBEAFAYsB4AcrCYsB8gTyBIsByQHgPY8DyQHyBOAHAwHyBEAX4BVfBIsB8gTJoAMF8gSLAckB4BUvAckB4AEDBfIEiwHJAQ==

Not much is known about the format of these IR code strings, which makes it difficult to use codes obtained through other means (such as a

How to defang system protections on macOS

How to Defang macOS System Protections

If you want to change things on the root drive of a Mac you will need to take some steps to disable the built in security of the system. Most of these steps are the same regardless if you are on Intel or Apple Silicon. If there is a difference it is noted.

Note that all of these things put a Mac into an unsupported and less secure state.

Make sure you either perform these steps in a VM or that you reset the protections after you are done poking around

Protections and Terms

How far this goes

This proposal is not intended to add support for general-purpose custom initializer syntax for any kind of object, nor is it intended to allow for custom DSLs in Java. This is for simple shorthand:

Map<String, Object> values = { "a": "alpha", "b": "beta", null: this };

var list = ArrayList<String> { "a", "b", "c" };

Set checked = HashSet&lt;&gt; { NORTH, SOUTH, NORTHWEST, };

Introduction

Sometimes you may want to use a DNS server for specific domain requests and another DNS server for all other requests. This is helpful, for instance, when connected to a VPN. For hosts behind that VPN you want to use the VPN's DNS server but all other hosts you want to use Google's public DNS. This is called "DNS splitting."

Here, we run dnsmasq as a background service on macOS. The dnsmasq configuration described below implements DNS splitting.

Install

brew install dnsmasq

Set rz and sz on Mac

There are a mess of troubles in sending and receiving files from my macbook to dev server, since I had no permission to excute command scp on dev server. Here is a lightweight, quick, and convenience tools which related with ssh, called lrzsz. lrzsz is a unix communication package providing the XMODEM, YMODEM, ZMODEM file transefer protocol which usually has been already installed in most of servers.
