I'm terrified I'm gonna leave this little bastard in my code when I put it in my dissertation appendix, but a little part of me hopes I get away with it~
#my big mouth#python#im honestly really pleased with myself#i went from not remembering how to write a 'hello world' in python today#to generating spreadsheets with multi-level function calls#i rememberd like the .... concepts of programming#but i haven't made anything complex in like 6 years?#i started reviving these dead braincells around january#and then prompty DROPPED it#so like#im not doing too bad#but the back of my skull burns now so imma stop#this took like 4+ hours#but we makin progress#studyblr#phdblogging

*screaming*
*continued screaming*
Okay. So. My introductory Visual C# class.
The professor for that class was Alice. Alice was the person who spoke in the introductory video and the person who we were supposed to email if we had any issues.
But all of the assignments, lectures, and quizzes were written and delivered by Bob. On the youtube channel "Bob's programming academy." The quizzes included Bob's name, like "if you do X will it return the string ProfessorBob, Professor, Bob, or Professor.Bob?"
This class was really frustrating for me because it was structured in such a way that you could easily pass the class with zero knowledge of the subject - it was totally based on quizzes that you could take an unlimited number of times and we *had* weekly programming assignments but they weren't graded so there was no incentive to do them (and look, if I wanted to teach myself programming with no incentives I could fail for several years to do that on my own, I don't need to pay fifty bucks a unit for that; the reason I am in a *class* and am not self-taught is because I need external motivation. That's why I sought out a class).
Also when there *was* a problem with an instruction that was unclear in one of the videos for the assignments, or if I thought I'd done something correctly that was very much incorrect, it wasn't Alice who had created the instructions, it was Bob - in 2017 no less - and I didn't really feel like I could ask Alice for help with an ungraded assignment that she hadn't written.
So. Now. My Python class.
Today is the first day of class. Professor is Charles.
I go to the mandatory attendance quiz and it is word-for-word the same mandatory attendance quiz as the C# class, down to the final question "what is your personal email address so I can keep in contact with you after the semester?"
I look at the syllabus.
Class grade is based on quizzes. We have assignments but none of them are graded. There's no textbook, just a series of videos from Professor Bob's Programming Academy.
So I'd been toying with staying at this school and trying to take more CS classes instead of going to another school, just to try to keep my records easier to manage, but since it seems like that *ENTIRE DEPARTMENT* is five Professor Bobs in a trenchcoat, I will probably be going somewhere else (and once again trying to force myself to do projects that I already know are *good for me to do* but *useless for the class and a massive time suck*)
I should drop this class. I should drop this class and apply for the other school so that I can start taking classes there in the spring because if I take this class and then go into the object oriented programming class in the spring and it's another professor bob sock puppet and I end up taking twelve units of programming classes where all I learn is how to google answers in a short time frame (something I already know how to do thanks) I am going to fucking lose it.
Also, again: I have a Bachelor's Degree. I spent five years at a community college when I was getting that degree. I took probably a dozen online classes starting in 2005 and going until 2011 in the process of getting that degree.
THIS bullshit, this "I'm your professor but actually I'm not and all the materials were created by someone else in the department or came directly from the textbook publisher and there is no writing and there are no assignments everything is multiple choice quizzes that are automatically graded" is *dogshit.*
This is NOT how online classes worked back in my day, not even online math classes, and as much as I know adjuncts are getting fucked over by academia in general, this isn't something that these professors should be getting paid as much as they are to do. Alice checked whether or not students turned in a hello world assignment and gave a pass/fail grades for three discussion boards that were responses to youtube videos. Nothing else in the class required her input. If this is the level of instruction that students are getting then the class is already automated and the students shouldn't have to pay for it.
This is crap. This is an incredible level of crap.

Hello, hello! So first off I absolutely love your writing; it’s always spectacular and I feel like I always learn new things… so I’d love to know your favorite fun fact that you’ve learned while researching for a fic! You seem to be full of interesting tidbits!
hello Rouxenne!!! Welcome to the tumblr community!! We do a lot of shouting over here.
Thank you for the kind words, I'm so glad you've been enjoying my stories!
I have learned sooooooooo much in the last few months of writing. I think the most "nerdy" thing i've learned is that the Arizona Rangers were only in effect from 1901-1907 before being brought back for modern purposes.
The weirdest thing i've learned is exactly how sweaty hockey players get. A friend who used to play gave me a very graphic depiction of wringing sweat out of gear. I've also had to google what gear spray smells like, and then just gave up and went to a sports store to find out. its uh...chemical. like mad make-up chemical. (guy at the counter said that was a bad brand sooo)
For MOE I think I've spent too much time learning real engineering things. I know now how a basic switch board works. I can also code a few lines of binary and I can read python (not well). Bidoof (the resident engineer I go with questions) has taught me a lot about the various ways someone can burn themselves. Kit (the resident ANYTHING ELSE person I go to with weird questions) has taught me a scary amount of what some of those burns feel like????
I also had to research a lot about west texas. My family is from central texas so it was a lot fun to see the differences!
My favorite though? All of the music I've found in the process. I really got to dive into different genres of country because of Southern Tango. I was already a big blue grass fan of because of everyone here on Tumblr i've gotten to see more of the world :D.
I have tons of dumb facts just chilling in my brain ready to use, and if that's not what fanfic is for...
Thanks for the ask!! I hope to see you soon Xoxo, Sauce
#sauce yaps#learning things is so much fun guys#the best part about being human is that we never stop learning#there is always something to knew to pick up and learn about#maybe thats just the teacher in me but I'm always itching for a new documentary to learn something from#like did yall know I was accepted into one of the most prestigious univeristies for epidemiology?#fr I was and I ended up going to a different school for english because follow what you love and i loved english more than i love the flu#but the AMOUNT of facts I have tucked away about the flu (my bbygirl) and how infectious diseases work and how epidemics/pandemics work?#learned it all BEFORE the pandiemic too#like I could tell you all the fastest way to infest the entire world with an airborne illness#it would take less than three days to make it over seas and less than one month to cover the world#anyways#not to scare you all thats not what that was ment to do#its just a fun fact#um#yeah

Hi! I was wondering if you had any advice on how to craft a well-written, compelling Arthurian OC that isn't obnoxious or out of place but is still unique. I recognize the difficulty in doing so with so many different source texts (I'm most familiar with Le Morte, so that's usually my go-to) and the vast list of already existing characters. I'm just curious about your thoughts on the matter, since you're an author and also very knowledgeable about Arthuriana 💖
Hello there!
This is a tough question to answer! I think it's important to note that everyone will have a different opinion on this, but that shouldn't alter you writing your story how you want to. Some think adding any characters at all is too big of a change, while others write a full cast of original characters and then Merlin shows up randomly and makes the story "Arthurian."
I'm going to say something controversial.
Every Arthurian character is an OC.
Even King Arthur himself is an OC.
I'm going to elaborate on this quite a bit, as it's very important to me. But the TL;DR is that reading more will definitely help you conceptualize the boundaries of what's possible. Le Morte d'Arthur is a great start, but there's so much out there, both medieval and modern, that'll undoubtedly aid in your Arthuriana writing journey! :^)
While I do say things like "I love Arthurian OCs" as a means to convey that I view everyone's new creations as valid and interesting, I actually don't believe in a strong differentiation between Chretien de Troyes' Sir Lancelot or Marie of France's Sir Lanval and what you or I are writing today. We're participating in a tradition which can, at times, necessitate the creation of a new character or repurposing of an existing one. I think as soon as you create a character for your Arthurian story, they're an Arthurian character. Some refer to Lancelot or Galahad as "French OCs" or call Knight of the Cart or the Vulgate "fanfiction" as a means to degrade it's validity. Some seem to have an arbitrary timeline on which the full body of Arthurian works is measured, and the more recently something was written, the less authentic it becomes. I think they're wrong. I believe that whether or not we enjoy an installment in the ever expanding Arthurian tradition is irrelevant; it's all equally entitled to a measure of respect, even the new characters. No character or story is lesser than another by virtue of its age or language of origin or target audience or medium. I disdain the excess of scrutiny put upon certain arbitrary groupings of Arthurian tradition. Each story is full of original characters and building on the foundations of what came before. That's the nature of creative influence. Whether or not Arthur was a real person at some point in history is moot. The guy in the Mabinogion or the Vulgate or Le Morte d'Arthur or BBC Merlin is a character. He's a tool to tell a story. Such as your creation will be! Your brand new Arthurian character stands equally with all the rest who preceded them. :^)
Now, it can be helpful to distinguish between a medieval character and a modern one, sure, as they may represent different things depending on what point in history (or part of the world) they were created in. But Arthuriana isn't a franchise one must obtain express permission to contribute to, and it doesn't have a "canon," so therefore differentiating a character as "other" can be counter productive when developing a story. I don't believe Sir Robin from Monty Python and The Holy Grail (1975) or Brian from The Adventures of Sir Lancelot (1956-1957) are any less valuable as characters, even if they do draw on traits of existing Arthurian motifs in order to commentate on them or otherwise expand. In fact I think they're great characters and serve their narrative roles beautifully. One simple and one complex. I recommend watching those to see how it's done well and that may help you develop your own characters. But I'll delve into it a bit here to illustrate what I mean.
Sir Robin carries the coat of arms of a chicken, he's a cowardly knight followed around by a troupe of musicians that sing songs about all of his exploits. That is, the things he's run away from. Rather than use an existing Arthurian character and degrading them, Monty Python developed Sir Robin in order to tell their joke.
The flipside is Brian, a bona fide kitchen boy, who attaches himself to Sir Lancelot and desires to squire for him. Brian's narrative purpose is to deconstruct the nobility in a way that Gareth Beaumains, whom Brian is plainly inspired by, could not. Brian begins as a true serf forced to endear himself to Sir Lancelot to elevate his station. Merlin forges papers of nobility to convince King Arthur that Brian is worthy of this privilege. Even after that, Brian must face the brutality of his fellows while living in the barracks with them, as they don't take kindly to a "smelly kitchen boy" in their midst, plotting to get Brian to incriminate himself as a thief and get evicted from Camelot by Sir Kay. This role is incongruous with Gareth as Sir Gawain's brother, who was always noble, always a prince, and merely cloaked himself in the guise of poverty to prove a point. Gareth could return to the comforts of wealth whenever it suited him and his reason for going stealth was to intentionally distance himself from that privilege. The character Brian exists in order to commentate on the injustice of the upper class's oppression and dehumanization of the lower class in a way Gareth, or even Tor, could not, as they are of noble blood, even if it came by way of reveal. That's why Brian is a great addition to the Arthurian tradition.
Really, it comes down to treating the creation of your new Arthurian character like you would developing one for any other work, one entirely separate from the tradition. If they're a good character, they're a good character! Try not to get hung up too much on whether or not they're going to mesh well with the rest of the cast. For centuries, writers have transformed historical figures into Arthurian characters. (See: King Mark of Kernow better known as the Cuckhold King from the Prose Tristan, Owain mab Urien better known as Sir Yvain from Knight of the Lion by Chretien de Troyes, Saint Derfel better known as Derfel Gadarn from The Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell, etc.)
Speaking of Prose Tristan, would anyone consider Sir Dinadan an OC? Or Sir Palomides? They're characters added to a story drawing from a much, much older tradition, and I think they enrich the story. I feel likewise about the many Perceval Continuations, including the German Parzival by Wolfram von Eschenbach, which adds a half brother named Sir Feirefiz, or names Chretien's anonymous haughty maiden Orgeluse. What about Sir Aglovale's son Moriaen in the Dutch tradition? Amurfina in German Diu Krone by Heinrich von dem Türlin? Morgan le Fay's daughter Puzella Gaia in Italian La Tavola Ritonda? Not to mention the countless Middle English additions. The Green Knight and his wife? Dame Ragnelle and Sir Gromer? Or how about everyone's favorite Savage Damsel, Lynette of Castle Perilous? Is she not a late-era addition to the tradition courtesy of the man, the myth, the legend, Sir Thomas Malory himself? And then here comes Tennyson, who read Le Morte d'Arthur, and got to the end of dear Gareth Beaumains' story and had the same reaction we all did: "What the hell? He marries her sister?" And then he went about changing that in Idylls of the King. Speaking of Lynette, what's up with her niece Laurel? She's just a name on a page, the vast majority of retellings choose to ignore her, even if they do keep Lynette and Lyonesse. Laurel can scarcely be called a character, after all. She doesn't even have dialogue. So as I've gone out of my way to make her a prominent, fully developed character, with her own culture and back story and motivations, does that make her an OC of mine? And Henry Newbolt who included Laurel in his play Mordred: A Tragedy. And Sarah Zettel, who wrote from Laurel's point of view in Camelot's Blood. We did all the work, but we threw an Arthurian name on the character, so therefore, she isn't ours? But if we changed her name, she would be? Who gets to decide?
All of the Arthurian characters belong to all of us. That's the beauty of writing in a long-standing tradition, which exists apart from all other forms of writing. We have complete creative liberty to do what we want and refer to it how we want and no person or corporation or anyone can dictate otherwise. The intellectual property of Arthuriana belongs to the people. So invent a brand new wife for Gawain, and well, you're only the millionth author to do it! Just make sure she's an interesting character and that's literally the only requirement. Can't wait to meet her. (And all others you create!)
Have a great day!

Automate Simple Tasks Using Python: A Beginner’s Guide
In today's fast paced digital world, time is money. Whether you're a student, a professional, or a small business owner, repetitive tasks can eat up a large portion of your day. The good news? Many of these routine jobs can be automated, saving you time, effort, and even reducing the chance of human error.
Enter Python a powerful, beginner-friendly programming language that's perfect for task automation. With its clean syntax and massive ecosystem of libraries, Python empowers users to automate just about anything from renaming files and sending emails to scraping websites and organizing data.
If you're new to programming or looking for ways to boost your productivity, this guide will walk you through how to automate simple tasks using Python.
🌟 Why Choose Python for Automation?
Before we dive into practical applications, let’s understand why Python is such a popular choice for automation:
Easy to learn: Python has simple, readable syntax, making it ideal for beginners.
Wide range of libraries: Python has a rich ecosystem of libraries tailored for different tasks like file handling, web scraping, emailing, and more.
Platform-independent: Python works across Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Strong community support: From Stack Overflow to GitHub, you’ll never be short on help.
Now, let’s explore real-world examples of how you can use Python to automate everyday tasks.
🗂 1. Automating File and Folder Management
Organizing files manually can be tiresome, especially when dealing with large amounts of data. Python’s built-in os and shutil modules allow you to automate file operations like:
Renaming files in bulk
Moving files based on type or date
Deleting unwanted files
Example: Rename multiple files in a folder
import os folder_path = 'C:/Users/YourName/Documents/Reports' for count, filename in enumerate(os.listdir(folder_path)): dst = f"report_{str(count)}.pdf" src = os.path.join(folder_path, filename) dst = os.path.join(folder_path, dst) os.rename(src, dst)
This script renames every file in the folder with a sequential number.
📧 2. Sending Emails Automatically
Python can be used to send emails with the smtplib and email libraries. Whether it’s sending reminders, reports, or newsletters, automating this process can save you significant time.
Example: Sending a basic email
import smtplib from email.message import EmailMessage msg = EmailMessage() msg.set_content("Hello, this is an automated email from Python!") msg['Subject'] = 'Automation Test' msg['From'] = '[email protected]' msg['To'] = '[email protected]' with smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.gmail.com', 465) as smtp: smtp.login('[email protected]', 'yourpassword') smtp.send_message(msg)
⚠️ Note: Always secure your credentials when writing scripts consider using environment variables or secret managers.
🌐 3. Web Scraping for Data Collection
Want to extract information from websites without copying and pasting manually? Python’s requests and BeautifulSoup libraries let you scrape content from web pages with ease.
Example: Scraping news headlines
import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup url = 'https://www.bbc.com/news' response = requests.get(url) soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser') for headline in soup.find_all('h3'): print(headline.text)
This basic script extracts and prints the headlines from BBC News.
📅 4. Automating Excel Tasks
If you work with Excel sheets, you’ll love openpyxl and pandas two powerful libraries that allow you to automate:
Creating spreadsheets
Sorting data
Applying formulas
Generating reports
Example: Reading and filtering Excel data
import pandas as pd df = pd.read_excel('sales_data.xlsx') high_sales = df[df['Revenue'] > 10000] print(high_sales)
This script filters sales records with revenue above 10,000.
💻 5. Scheduling Tasks
You can schedule scripts to run at specific times using Python’s schedule or APScheduler libraries. This is great for automating daily reports, reminders, or file backups.
Example: Run a function every day at 9 AM
import schedule import time def job(): print("Running scheduled task...") schedule.every().day.at("09:00").do(job) while True: schedule.run_pending() time.sleep(1)
This loop checks every second if it’s time to run the task.
🧹 6. Cleaning and Formatting Data
Cleaning data manually in Excel or Google Sheets is time-consuming. Python’s pandas makes it easy to:
Remove duplicates
Fix formatting
Convert data types
Handle missing values
Example: Clean a dataset
df = pd.read_csv('data.csv') df.drop_duplicates(inplace=True) df['Name'] = df['Name'].str.title() df.fillna(0, inplace=True) df.to_csv('cleaned_data.csv', index=False)
💬 7. Automating WhatsApp Messages (for fun or alerts)
Yes, you can even send WhatsApp messages using Python! Libraries like pywhatkit make this possible.
Example: Send a WhatsApp message
import pywhatkit pywhatkit.sendwhatmsg("+911234567890", "Hello from Python!", 15, 0)
This sends a message at 3:00 PM. It’s great for sending alerts or reminders.
🛒 8. Automating E-Commerce Price Tracking
You can use web scraping and conditionals to track price changes of products on sites like Amazon or Flipkart.
Example: Track a product’s price
url = "https://www.amazon.in/dp/B09XYZ123" headers = {"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0"} page = requests.get(url, headers=headers) soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content, 'html.parser') price = soup.find('span', {'class': 'a-price-whole'}).text print(f"The current price is ₹{price}")
With a few tweaks, you can send yourself alerts when prices drop.
📚 Final Thoughts
Automation is no longer a luxury it’s a necessity. With Python, you don’t need to be a coding expert to start simplifying your life. From managing files and scraping websites to sending e-mails and scheduling tasks, the possibilities are vast.
As a beginner, start small. Pick one repetitive task and try automating it. With every script you write, your confidence and productivity will grow.
Conclusion
If you're serious about mastering automation with Python, Zoople Technologies offers comprehensive, beginner-friendly Python course in Kerala. Our hands-on training approach ensures you learn by doing with real-world projects that prepare you for today’s tech-driven careers.

stream of consciousness about the new animation vs. coding episode, as a python programmer
holy shit, my increasingly exciting reaction as i realized that yellow was writing in PYTHON. i write in python. it's the programming language that i used in school and current use in work.
i was kinda expecting a print("hello world") but that's fine
i think using python to demonstrate coding was a practical choice. it's one of the most commonly used programming languages and it's very human readable.
the episode wasn't able to cram every possible concept in programming, of course, but they got a lot of them!
fun stuff like print() not outputting anything and typecasting between string values and integer values!!
string manipulation
booleans
little things like for-loops and while-loops for iterating over a string or list. and indexing! yay :D
* iterable input :D (the *bomb that got thrown at yellow)
and then they started importing libraries! i've never seen the turtle library but it seems like it draws vectors based on the angle you input into a function
the gun list ran out of "bullets" because it kept removing them from the list gun.pop()
AND THEN THE DATA VISUALIZATION. matplotlib!! numpy!!!! my beloved!!!!!!!! i work in data so this!!!! this!!!!! somehow really validating to me to see my favorite animated web series play with data. i think it's also a nice touch that the blue on the bars appear to be the matplotlib default blue. the plot formatting is accurate too!!!
haven't really used pygame either but making shapes and making them move based on arrow key input makes sense
i recall that yellow isn't the physically strongest, but it's cool to see them move around in space and i'm focusing on how they move and figure out the world.
nuke?!
and back to syntax error and then commenting it out # made it go away
cool nuke text motion graphics too :D (i don't think i make that motion in python, personally)
and then yellow cranks it to 100,000 to make a neural network in pytorch. this gets into nlp (tokenizers and other modeling)
a CLASS? we touch on some object oriented programming here but we just see the __init__ function so not the full concept is demonstrated here.
OH! the "hello world" got broken down into tokens. that's why we see the "hello world" string turn into numbers and then... bits (the 0s and 1s)? the strings are tokenized/turned into values that the model can interpret. it's trying to understand written human language
and then an LSTM?! (long short-term memory)
something something feed-forward neural network
model training (hence the epochs and increasing accuracy)
honestly, the scrolling through the code goes so fast, i had to do a second look through (i'm also not very deeply versed in implementing neural networks but i have learned about them in school)
and all of this to send "hello world" to an AI(?) recreation of the exploded laptop
not too bad for a macbook user lol
i'm just kidding, a major of people used macs in my classes
things i wanna do next since im so hyped
i haven't drawn for the fandom in a long time, but i feel a little motivated to draw my design of yellow again. i don't recall the episode using object oriented programming, but i kinda want to make a very simple example where the code is an initialization of a stick figure object and the instances are each of the color gang.
it wouldn't be full blown AI, but it's just me writing in everyone's personality traits and colors into a function, essentially since each stick figure is an individual program.

I think a lot sometimes about the pushback against the concept of talent within arts and I mean yeah on some level I get it, but also the suggestion that anyone can learn to draw is, to me, like saying anyone can learn to program.
like yes, sure, at the end of the day just about anyone can likely find some way of forming vague scribbles using their tool or input peripheral of choice, but that's basically like saying just about anyone can find ways of writing semicolons and the words if, then, else on some kind of digital computer - the difficulty was never in achieving the most basic and abstracted interpretation of the act, but in an understanding of how your actions translate into the kind of end result that you want.
in programming, the most basic starter program that nearly every extremely basic example or tutorial will start with is called Hello World, which is simply a program that prints or otherwise displays the text Hello World to the user.
#include <iostream>
in python, this can be done with a single line of code, like so:
print("Hello World!")
while in C++, that same program will take a bit more work:
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World!\n";
return 0;
}
Now if you have the ability to copy that text into a file then congratulations, you have the ability to write a program! But, obviously, to really do any actual programming, you kind of need to know what any of the above actually means and what it makes the computer actually do.
This by the way is why the "Learn to Code" kind of initiatives tend not to work out very well, because while technically anyone can write code, actually understanding how to code is a much more complicated affair that can't necessarily be directly taught - it's something that has to be understood.
What is needed, basically, is a system - a kind of mental library of symbols and concepts that you can rearrange and reassemble in various ways to reach a particular solution; a point where you can break down a larger problem into a bunch of much smaller, more individualised problems that are easier to solve one by one.
This is basically how expertise works - whether consciously or (much more often!) not, you form models and systems in your head to let you simplify and, to an extent, automate otherwise complex tasks. If you've ever looked at something and just felt this feeling of "aha, I see how this works", then you should technically already know what I'm talking about.
And look, this is not an argument against practice - expertise takes work, it takes training and experience and gradually discovering ways in which things start making sense to you, even those things that you might have an intuitive knack for. However, what I do think is that telling people who say they can't draw to "just draw anyway" is a lot like, and just as dismissive as, "Learn to Code" because, just like how saying "I don't know how to code" generally is not meant to be understood as "I am physically unable to write words into a text document", saying "I can't draw" typically does not mean being physically unable to form lines or shapes on paper or in a digital image or whatever. Rather, it's a statement about being unable to break down the problem of how to reach a desired end result into smaller, manageable steps that you are able to grasp. And, much like with programming, not everyone will have an eye, or a mind, for it: just like some people struggle with spelling or mathematics or, indeed, code, some people also struggle with colour or perspective or object shape or lighting and shading. And, by contrast, for some people these things also come much more easily and naturally than others.
Not everyone can do everything - at least not to such an extent that it would let them do something they would want to do. Practice can help, certainly, but it's not necessarily guaranteed to bridge the gap either. I mean, I personally find it baffling how many people seem to struggle with what I consider basic computer literacy, but that's a lot to do with the fact that I just happen to find much of it pretty simple and straightforward where a lot of people don't. Not everyone has a base aptitude to build on for every field or skill, and that's both fine and normal. And I mean - something as simple as the ability to put in the effort to practice and learn a particular skill or expertise is in itself a skill, and one that can be very selective about what contexts it's willing to apply to.

Hello B!! I have come once again to bless your day and also ask some strange stuff again because I have no self control apparently 💚🐲 (I promise this time it's just me being curious)
Before I say anything I just have to thank you a billion times for the snake Gaunt boys snip bits from yesterday you absolutely killed it and I will forever love you for it 💚💚💚💚🐍🐍🐍🐍 oh and here.... have some gold and diamonds from my hoard 🪙🪙👑👑💎💎
Now the actual ask, since you've dropped the Rerek's opinions on everyone video I've been thinking, we've gotten to know a lot about our favourite boys Marvolo and Rowan but what about our favourite danger noodle?!! 🐍🐍
I'm not sure if you already gave some snip bits about him I tried to look but I couldn't really find any fun facts about our precious snake boy so I want to ask if you could tell us some interesting details about him....I don't know something like:
What's his favourite food?
What does he like to do in his spare time?
What exact breed of a snake is he? (I think he might be a rainbow python judging by the picture but I just want to be sure)
Was he given to Marvolo as a baby or did Marvolo find him and take him in himself?
And these might be a bit random but:
What's his favourite memory growing up with the Gaunts?
What would he do if Marvolo walked up to him without saying a word and booped him on the snoot?
And the last one what would human Rerek look like?
Sorry if I'm asking a lot I know your busy but I still wanted to ask since I absolutely adore all of your characters and I want to get to know them all as much as you can let me 💚💚💚💚🐍🐍🐍🐍
As always have a wonderful day!!! With lots of love your curious little Dragon friend 🐉💚🐍🐍
Consider me blessed 😊💚
Aw you're welcome! 💜
I've done some HCs on Rerek before, but I'll happily do it again and answer these, I love it when people take such an interest in my world and lore. 🥹💚
Rerek HCs
His favourite foods are nifflers and puffskiens, he just has a prefered taste for those, he also eats human body parts from the Den.
Rerek is a simple creature, in his spare time he mainly just likes to bask in his Vivarium, but he often also asks Marvolo if they can go out for walks in the woods
He's a golden child reticulated Python
Rerek was gifted to Marvolo by Aleister when Rerek was a snaklett and Marvolo was 9yo
His favourite memories were simply getting to know Marvolo, and developing a strong bond with him. Marvolo and Rerek adore each other, and have a very powerful bond.
Hehe, I'll do a script for that question 💚
Rerek: *minding his business*
Marvolo: *wanders over smirking, and simply boops his nose without saying a word*
Rerek: (?!) ...Urgh, I fucking hate it when you do that.
Marvolo: *chuckles*
Rerek: *chuckles back* But because its YOU..I'll allow it..
You know what, I've never really thought about how he'd look as a human! But I'd say he'd actually be rather inkeeping with the Gaunts aesthetic! With his voice being what it is, he wouldn't be young, y'all gotta remember Rerek IS AN OLD MAN NOW! 🤣 I picture an older gentlmen, tall, slender, high and prominent cheekbones. While writing this I decided to go and heavily edit one of my Marvolo pics to how I'd see Rerek as a human, and this is what I settled on.

You're not asking a lot! Don't worry, this was fun! 😊💚🐍
Thank you so much, hope you have a wonderful day too! 💜💜

Matrix Breakout: 2 Morpheus
Hello everyone, it's been a while. :)
Haven't been posting much recently as I haven't really done anything noteworthy- I've just been working on methodologies for different types of penetration tests, nothing interesting enough to write about!
However, I have my methodologies largely covered now and so I'll have the time to do things again. There are a few things I want to look into, particularly binary exploit development and OS level security vulnerabilities, but as a bit of a breather I decided to root Morpheus from VulnHub.
It is rated as medium to hard, however I don't feel there's any real difficulty to it at all.
Initial Foothold
Run the standard nmap scans and 3 open ports will be discovered:
Port 22: SSH
Port 80: HTTP
Port 31337: Elite
I began with the web server listening at port 80.
The landing page is the only page offered- directory enumeration isn't possible as requests to pages just time out. However, there is the hint to "Follow the White Rabbit", along with an image of a rabbit on the page. Inspecting the image of the rabbit led to a hint in the image name- p0rt_31337.png. Would never have rooted this machine if I'd known how unrealistic and CTF-like it was. *sigh*
The above is the landing page of the web server listening at port 31337, along with the page's source code. There's a commented out paragraph with a base64 encoded string inside.
The string as it is cannot be decoded, however the part beyond the plus sign can be- it decodes to 'Cypher.matrix'.
This is a file on the web server at port 31337 and visiting it triggers a download. Open the file in a text editor and see this voodoo:
Upon seeing the ciphertext, I was immediately reminded of JSFuck. However, it seemed to include additional characters. It took me a little while of looking around before I came across this cipher identifier.
I'd never heard of Brainfuck, but I was confident this was going to be the in-use encryption cipher due to the similarity in name to JSFuck. So, I brainfucked the cipher and voila, plaintext. :P
Here, we are given a username and a majority of the password for accessing SSH apart from the last two character that were 'forgotten'.
I used this as an excuse to use some Python- it's been a while and it was a simple script to create. I used the itertools and string modules.
The script generates a password file with the base password 'k1ll0r' along with every possible 2-character combination appended. I simply piped the output into a text file and then ran hydra.
The password is eventually revealed to be 'k1ll0r7n'. Surely enough this grants access to SSH; we are put into an rbash shell with no other shells immediately available. It didn't take me long to discover how to bypass this- I searched 'rbash escape' and came across this helpful cheatsheet from PSJoshi. Surely enough, the first suggested command worked:
The t flag is used to force tty allocation, needed for programs that require user input. The "bash --noprofile" argument will cause bash to be run; it will be in the exec channel rather than the shell channel, thus the need to force tty allocation.
Privilege Escalation
With access to Bash commands now, it is revealed that we have sudo access to everything, making privilege escalation trivial- the same rbash shell is created, but this time bash is directly available.
Thoughts
I did enjoy working on Morpheus- the CTF element of it was fun, and I've never came across rbash before so that was new.
However, it certainly did not live up to the given rating of medium to hard. I'm honestly not sure why it was given such a high rating as the decoding and decryption elements are trivial to overcome if you have a foundational knowledge of hacking and there is alot of information on bypassing rbash.
It also wasn't realistic in any way, really, and the skills required are not going to be quite as relevant in real-world penetration testing (except from the decoding element!)

How's it going learning python? I needed to learn the very, very basics last year and it was fun, but at the same time so difficult to understand and remember all the codes, especially functions and all the stuff for diagrams like matplotlib etc. Hope it's going well for you :)
Listen bestie I'm at a print("Hello, World!") and add # before comments stage :D learned how to define structures and print(type(x)). I'm a baby.
But overall, I think it will be fun to use! If I manage to do anything :D because I have a shit ton to do on top of all that (full time work, writing an introduction to an article, making a med student a material for his cell bio microscope slides, and making an hour long lecture abt my thesis for school kids :D it's all due next week :D)
But overall I think I will be okay, because complicated things don't scare me as much as they used to. And besides I won't have to remember everything by heart. If it's me and stackoverflow against python let it be, I've been there with R.
And I'm actually very scared of matplotlib bc it was an extra credit task we had to perform on a hpc cluster and I had no idea how to do it (the rest of the code was given to us ready except the extra credit tasks). It was the end of the lesson so I just. Left.

To start programming in C, you need to set up a development environment. Here’s how:
Choose a Compiler: Popular C compilers include GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) for Linux and MinGW for Windows. You can also use IDEs like Code::Blocks, Dev-C++, or Visual Studio.
Install the Compiler: Follow the installation instructions for your chosen compiler. Ensure that the compiler is added to your system’s PATH for easy access.
Choose a Text Editor or IDE: You can write C code in any text editor (like Notepad++ or Sublime Text) or use an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for a more user-friendly experience.
2. Writing Your First C Program
Let’s start with a simple "Hello, World!" program to familiarize you with the syntax:#include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello, World!\n"); return 0; }
Explanation:
#include <stdio.h>: This line includes the standard input-output library, allowing you to use functions like printf.
int main(): This is the main function where the program execution begins.
printf("Hello, World!\n");: This line prints "Hello, World!" to the console.
return 0;: This indicates that the program has executed successfully.
3. Understanding C Syntax and Structure
C has a specific syntax that you need to understand:
Variables and Data Types: C supports various data types, including int, float, char, and double. You must declare variables before using them.
int age = 25; float salary = 50000.50; char grade = 'A';
Operators: C provides arithmetic, relational, logical, and bitwise operators for performing operations on variables.
Control Structures: Learn about conditional statements (if, else, switch) and loops (for, while, do-while) to control the flow of your program.
4. Functions in C
Functions are essential for organizing code and promoting reusability. Here’s how to define and call a function:#include <stdio.h> void greet() { printf("Welcome to C Programming!\n"); } int main() { greet(); // Calling the function return 0; }
5. Arrays and Strings
Arrays are used to store multiple values of the same type, while strings are arrays of characters. Here’s an example:#include <stdio.h> int main() { int numbers[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; char name[20] = "John Doe"; printf("First number: %d\n", numbers[0]); printf("Name: %s\n", name); return 0; }
6. Pointers
Pointers are a powerful feature in C that allows you to directly manipulate memory. Understanding pointers is crucial for dynamic memory allocation and data structures.#include <stdio.h> int main() { int num = 10; int *ptr = # // Pointer to num printf("Value of num: %d\n", *ptr); // Dereferencing the pointer return 0; }
7. Structures and Unions
Structures allow you to group different data types under a single name, while unions enable you to store different data types in the same memory location.#include <stdio.h> struct Student { char name[50]; int age; }; int main() { struct Student student1 = {"Alice", 20}; printf("Student Name: %s, Age: %d\n", student1.name, student1.age); return 0; }
Best Practices for C Programming
Comment Your Code: Use comments to explain complex logic and improve code readability.
Use Meaningful Variable Names: Choose descriptive names for variables and functions to make your code self-explanatory.
Keep Code Organized: Structure your code into functions and modules to enhance maintainability.

How to Use APIs in Your Web Development Projects
API integration for web development might sound intimidating at first, but it’s actually one of the coolest tools in your developer toolkit. You’ve probably heard the term “API” tossed around like candy in dev circles and wondered what all the buzz is about. Well, let’s clear the fog and walk through how you can start using APIs in your web projects — without frying your brain or your browser.

APIs are like digital bridges that help your site talk to other services, fetch data, and offer cool features you didn’t build from scratch. With a little practice and the right guide (hello, Coding Brushup!), API integration becomes an essential tool in your developer toolbox.
🧩What Are APIs and Why Should You Use Them?
An API (Application Programming Interface) is basically a set of rules that lets one program interact with another. When you use Google Maps on your site or pull data from weather apps, you’re using an API integration for web development.
You don’t need to build everything yourself when you can connect your site to reliable services through REST APIs. They handle the heavy lifting while you focus on creating an awesome user experience.
Using REST APIs in web projects helps you save time, reduce bugs, and offer dynamic content without hosting it all yourself.
🔐 Understanding API Authentication Methods
Before you start slinging data around, you’ll need to understand how to access APIs safely. That’s where API authentication methods come in.
Most APIs require some kind of security key, like an API token, OAuth 2.0, or a basic access token. Think of these like keys to a private club — you can’t get in without showing your credentials.
Some APIs let you start without a login (great for testing), but for most real-world usage, authentication is a must. And don’t worry — it’s not as scary as it sounds. Sites like Coding Brushup’s API tutorials make it super beginner-friendly.
📦 JSON and API Data Handling: The Magic Format
When you request data from an API, it often comes back in a format called JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). It’s lightweight, human-readable, and plays well with JavaScript — your new best friend in frontend API calls.
You’ll use JSON and API data handling skills to take that data and display it on your website in a user-friendly way. Want to show user comments from a third-party service? Fetch the data with JavaScript and populate your webpage with it. Magic.
Don’t forget — you can handle API data on the backend, too. Whether you’re using Node.js or Python, backend API calls let your server talk to other services securely and efficiently.
🚀 Putting It All Together: Frontend and Backend API Calls
Once you understand the basics, it’s time to use frontend and backend API calls together for seamless, full-stack magic. Your frontend might display live stock prices while your backend stores user preferences. Together, they create a rich, responsive experience for users.
Want to really stand out? Add APIs like Twitter feeds, weather forecasts, or payment gateways to your projects. API integration helps your web apps stay useful, modern, and engaging.
📘 Learn Faster with Coding Brushup
If you’re feeling excited but a little overwhelmed, don’t worry — you’re not alone. That’s exactly why Coding Brushup exists. Their API tutorials are designed to walk you through the basics step by step, with real code examples, video guides, and even mini-projects.
Whether you’re building your first app or adding advanced API features to a client site, Coding Brushup makes it feel doable — and even fun!
🏁 Final Thoughts
So there you have it. APIs aren’t scary monsters. They’re your backstage passes to powerful, data-rich, and interactive websites. Once you get the hang of API integration for web development, you’ll never want to go back to static pages again.
You just need to understand how APIs work, handle JSON data, use authentication methods, and write a few frontend or backend API calls. Piece of cake, right?
And hey, don’t forget — Coding Brushup has your back every step of the way. Happy coding!
