DIA4 is written in Delphi, which is probably why the false positive on the antivirus software

"Anti-exploits" are usually called "security updates".

I don't use tools like Outpost and neither should you. CPU cycles are too expensive to waste.

I could need a new laptop. 

I'd be interested in Beyond Compare, but I'm a heavy user of Compare It! (shareware by Grigsoft, development stopped), so I'm not sure if I'd be the best candidate for that.

The good thing with mIRC licenses is that they are lifetime licenses too. Still a valuable addition to my toolkit.

Yes; while UnRAR is free software, RAR is not. Clever marketing, actually.

Ah, it was the attachment scaling. Thanks, I haven't said a thing...

Or could you make the text a tiny bit lighter (less bold, not less black)?

N.A.N.Y. 2017 / NANY 2017: Tiny Server Inventory

« Last post by Tuxman on December 25, 2016, 08:39 AM »

While my evil plan to release a great application for NANY 2017 was cancelled by the particular application becoming much too complicated for a quick release, I decided that I'd just write a small(ish) utility in time just for the sake of it.



Description:

Some of you might know that, once you started renting your own servers, it can quickly become not so easy anymore to keep track of what's where. I, for one, have been using Evernote for this. You might see that Evernote is not perfect for this - the more servers you have, the more annoying it is to maintain your server/service list.

This application aims to be a server/service database. See the screenshot for what it can do and what not.

License:

WTFPL. Take it or leave it.

Technical interior:

I spent half of the past week trying to make sense of Object Pascal. This is how far I have come. There are quirks (to be solved later, maybe).

Future plans:

I might add a search functionality some day. Probably not in 2016 anymore. A lot of other projects to do.
Cancelled. Do it yourself.

Enjoy. Or don't.

General Software Discussion / Any replacement for ac'tivAid?

« Last post by Tuxman on December 22, 2016, 02:24 PM »

As the ac'tivAid development seems to have been stopped, I wonder if there is a similar software available. I mainly use the function to assign global hotkeys to applications (so I can e.g. start ConEmu with Ctrl-Alt-Space) and the Shutdown dialog (Windows+Q).

Any ideas?

Since we talked about this, GitKraken started to be a freemium application. Gladly, the Pro features are not relevant enough for me.

I decided to write an additional application just to meet the deadline for NANY while freezing my work on the other (more useful) application I actually intended to write. Turned out it was too complex. Maybe later in 2017. Anyway, expect me.

Neat:

The project aim is to create a fully portable library for visual assembly language programming. The supported operating systems for now are Win32, Linux and KolibriOS. Other systems might be added later.
