Hi there! Embwee here!

I've been working on a web app that lets you create custom emojis using twemoji components - so you can make custom emojis for your discord server, twitch community, or simply for fun!

You can try it out below! I'd love feedback to influence future development of the project ~~

This app currently is not fully supported on mobile devices. Mobile support has been added!

the current landscape of webdev needs to know that I don't need web applications that scale up to millions of users, I need web applications that scale down to 5 users or less

Network switches

What’s a network switch ?

A switch is a device used in computer networks to connect multiple devices together within a single local area network (LAN). Its main role is to facilitate communication between different connected devices, such as computers, printers, servers, IP phones, etc.

It is a mini-computer which is made up of RAM, ROM, flash RAM, NVRAM, a microprocessor, connectivity ports and even an operating system.

RAM

RAM (Random Access Memory) contains the current configuration of the switch and temporarily stores the MAC address table, which is then processed by the microprocessor.

Microprocessor

The microprocessor is the heart of the switch, responsible for data processing, including switching and creating links between multiple devices.

External memories

External memories, such as flash RAM, ROM, and NVRAM (Non-Volatile RAM), store configuration files , different versions of the IOS , etc ...

Ports

The switch ports are the communication interfaces of the switch. There are several of them, generally 24 for a Cisco switch. Each port is associated with an LED which indicates its status and activity.

How does it work ?

Now how does a switch work to transfer information from one machine to another?

Suppose we have 4 machines: A, B, C and D connected to our switch in ports 1, 2, 3 and 4 as follows:

The switch only works with MAC addresses , so basically we have an empty MAC address table stored in RAM as soon as the switch starts up which looks like this : 

Transmitting data from machine A to machine B happens in the following steps:

Machine A sends a frame to machine B

Once this frame arrives at port 1 (which is the one linked to A), the switch reads the source MAC address and stores it in the MAC address table

The switch reads the destination MAC address and looks for it in the table, if it is not in the table, it broadcasts to all the active machines connected to the switch except the source one.

If the port linked to the machine we want is active, it sends a response frame from which the switch reads the MAC address we were looking for (@B)

Once done, it records the MAC address of B in the table.

This process repeats until the switch reaches what is called "MAC address table stability", that is to say it knows all the MAC addresses of the connected machines and has no more need to broadcast.

Starting and configuring a switch

When it comes to booting a switch, the process is similar to that of a traditional computer system:

POST (Power-On Self Test): The switch performs proper functioning tests on all hardware.

Loading IOS (Internetwork Operating System): The switch operating system is loaded.

Loading the configuration. At this stage we have two cases:

Either the switch already has a startup configuration defined and stored in NVRAM

Either the switch is blank and it is up to us to define the startup configuration when it goes to setup mode

Switch configuration

The configuration of a switch is done through different modes, such as user mode, privileged mode and global configuration mode, which allows access to specific configuration modes, such as interface mode, routing mode, line mode, etc.

And to do all this of course you must first connect the switch with the machine via the console cable and open a terminal emulator

💡 It should be noted that the only machine that can configure the switch is the one connected to it by a console cable, the others are only hosts.

Random question for the coding folks...

If I were to just straight up like... offer free programming tutoring, are there folks out on Tumblr who would be interested?

Progress:

Okay so the authentication for spotify is hard for me to understand and requires user authentication, then making a token request that while expire in an hour. So i focused on what I did know how to do and what I had access to token wise. The Spotify developer home page has a temporary access token for demos. I took that token and made a function to make get request to the API and two functions for top tracks and top artists. Then made some functions to print them in my terminal. Here is what my end product looked like in the terminal.

The data for tracks is proving to just show a years worth of listening even though I specified long_term in my get request.

Here is my code:

I tried just doing track.artist but Spotify handles that as multiple artists so I had to handle them as such.

Next Steps: Tackling the user authentication and token requests and including it in this code.

(Also yes I know that is a concerning amount of My Chemical Romance tracks. I had my MCR phase strike up again with a passion last October and I am still balls deep in it.)

I allowed myself to break my own rule because yesterday was my birthday, and my family deserves proper attention. I believe that something that studying a lot does to you: it allows you to be pleased and loved by those who want to do that for you.

Maybe that's not your case, my dear reader, but speaking for myself, when I'm so entertained by my own smoke of regrets, mixed with the hard routine of tech books and online exercises, I often miss the fact that those who want to do things for me, like seeing me or grabbing a coffee together, even watching a movie, need time to do that. And if I don't make that time for them, nothing will happen.

Anyways, today I was feeling a little lazy and sticking with some HTML, CSS, and JS code. I made a page with a grid row style, some links, and a birds effect for the company I work for.

Hi lovely people

I need help!

I'm a web/software developer. I'm autistic and one of my biggest difficulties is not being able to describe myself. I'd need to make a portfolio of my projects, describe myself, and let people know who they're hiring but the 'About' page is empty.

But how do you do that? How do you describe yourself? What's important? What's not?

Need help from autistic and neurotypical people.
