Can you recommend me a free domain service?

Different take but nip.io and sslip.io just let you use your IP as your domain. When you use the hex notation, it's shorter, more usable and subdomains can just be used at will. Depending your IP address you may even get lucky and get a vanity looking subdomain. Granted it'll be fixed as long as your IP is not changing. When it does, you gotta switch domains. I'm mentioning this because you said your IP is fixed and I have a similar use with these.

Yeah, another nice use case is using it at your local dev environment where you can use a single lan IP or even loopback IP and have many domains to differentiate your services mirroring the actual DNS hosted version without messing around the hosts file or local DNS server records. Since their subdomains also resolve to local IPs, you automatically get infinite local address subdomains. As long as you don't mind it'll resolve via remote name server but they won't be able to reach back to your local IPs anyway.

For those who are curious about its history, this is where it all began for the visited links to be that color by default.

Not exactly answering your question but you can use the app Obtainium to fetch the apk URL from a website/github repo and many other sources to install directly. It also supports fdroid repos and many other sources out of the box. Kinda half way what you mentioned in your first paragraph.

Help changing text and images in POS software

I think I found the half of the answer.

Out of curiosity I downloaded and installed the trial version from their website. When I inspected it, turns out it's written in Delphi. What I'm guessing due to monolithic nature of the software (i.e. huge .exe file holding almost everything for the system) the already big (32.9 megabytes) .exe file is actually compressed. When uncompressed it's approximately 100 megabytes. When I checked the extracted binary(extraction due to execution, hence looking at the memory dump of a once ran executable) the resources now show the logo and the name your censored in a png resource file.

There are several versions of it but I'm guessing one of them is used in that header, others may be used in about window etc.

Unfortunately my quickly hacked up dump file doesn't run. So even if a modification is done, the resulting exe is not useful as it is.

Detect-it-easy can't find the exact compressor for the exe sections. So I don't know if there's any available de-compressor for this .exe.

At least my findings show why you can't see those resources in resource hacker. Because it's compressed and unreadable as it is from the .exe.

It'll probably be possible to modify those resources once someone can create a runnable extracted version of the original .exe. I hope this helps. I'll post again if I have any other findings and/or solution.

XPipe - A connection hub for all your servers: Status update for the v14 release

Seemed so nice until I tried to add my very first personal server that has Oracle Linux distro on it and it paywalled me immediately. So if you want it for personal use but you use the wrong(!) distro on your server, tough luck! You gotta pay for it unless you replace your server with something like Debian I guess. That was the end of it for me. As a constructive feedback: it would be nice to see a list of which distro/server os variants are not paywalled, or which ones are paywalled. For now Asbru will do it for me.

Edit: turns out it's written out on the pricing page in detail. See the comment below.

Well if you happen to find a good app that does what you want on desktop, then you can complement it on Android with Markor , it's "markdown native" and it has nice extra options like adding list elements, quick formatting etc. All based on markdown, can be easily switched between editor mode and preview(markdown rendered) mode.

Replace Windows, Excel needed

There's also winapps you can use to run it in a native windows environment in some way (another machine tucked away somewhere, in a VM etc.) and have it acting like a native app over RDP and even have integrations with file manager like file associations.

Instead of having a full desktop view in a remote desktop session, you'll get each window in a separate window that'll act like any other singular app. I used it when I had to use ms office and some other windows only app when I had a secondary PC that had to have windows anyway in a separate office in the same building.

It's the first time I've ever heard of winboat and i feel like they are pretty much equivalent in what they do.

GUI library for C?

I don't know how feasible for you to use an immediate mode GUI library but imgui came to my mind as soon as i read the post. However it's written in C++ instead of C.

I never tried the C bindings but it seems to have a couple of options including cimgui to use imgui in a C project.

Maybe it's worth a shot if you want something that's proven to be lightweight and battle tested (I mean the main imgui project for this).

Of course Github is just an example but you can pretty much regex any URL and further filter out anything in order to get the apk link with it. So depending on your level of privacy requirement and trusted sources, you can skip all the centralized ones and build your own list of sources.
