    That is not what hardcoded means.

    The “hard” part of “hardcoded” means you have to edit the source directly to make changes (or at runtime via memory editing).

    It does not mean “written as part of the source but editable via gui”.

    Unless there is some other item I’m missing here from a casual glance at common filters included as an example, then yes, you are misunderstanding the term “hardcoded”.







  • Kind of the other way around there, starting with markdown to make a mindmap. Not that I haven’t used mermaid (though I’ll be candid, I mostly hate how mermaid renderers work and the layouts can get real funky real quick), but I’m more going the other way around. Start dropping stuff into a map, then sort it out after. For concepting things out, I like a GUI better. For documenting something existing, mermaid is a perfect decent option.

    If its for work, its on a work machine.

    That said, I have a lot of efforts (personal projects with hardware I get given, or side work not related to my job) where I need specific software. For those, I have a VM tailored to that application that’s been trimmed down as much as possible.

    This let’s me rdp into them, do what I need to do, save to a designated location, and shut the VM down. Since its a VM I tend not to give it network access unless required, and I have USB drive I pass through to the VM.

    This makes sure everything works, I limit the access of MS with local only accounts and win 10 (among other specific versions like XP for a specific piece of hardware, server 2008 for an irritating piece of software I sometimes need, etc).

    All the VMs are on my proxmox cluster, easy to start/stop with a script.
