Slinger VS Guava

Just in case, block the complete ip range from Slingmedia if your want to use the Slingserver from Gerry to connect with VLC or Mplayer over an internet connection. https://github.com/GerryDazoo/Slinger

Hi thanks for the directions. It make much more sense now. I have a question if you don't mind. I found Slingplayer 1.5.338 through this Github discussion. I got to the Audio/Video setup screen, and I don't see anywhere I can upload a bin file? All I see is this where it makes me select from a list of codes. Is there another ver 1.5x that lets you upload a bin. Thanks so much again.

Then, you will need to setup a server as explained here: https://github.com/GerryDazoo/Slinger

Anyway, I find out the answer here: https://github.com/GerryDazoo/Slinger/blob/main/sb-pwd.md.

For all your questions there might be an answer on "https://github.com/GerryDazoo/Slinger/discussions" ;-). But as far as I understand ... If you have a new, never configured, unused M1 you can use it as described above. If the M1 has already been configured (at least) once, then there are two possibilities: 1. factory reset (then it is like a new one). 2. you have to find out the essential configuration data (PW, IP, port and if necessary remote control settings). Hopefully the previous owner has documented this data. But if not ... The difficulty is that the PW was stored on Slingmedia's servers. Normally the user never saw or experienced the PW assigned by Slingmedia during configuration. But it was possible to read it from the Slingmedia servers. Probably very few people did that before Slingmedia/Dish shut down the servers. Just go to "https://github.com/GerryDazoo/Slinger/discussions" or "https://discord.com/channels/1032667324945281054/1032667325431816224". There you can ask questions and/or search for answers.

oh https://github.com/GerryDazoo/Slinger/discussions didnt know it existed.. no (1) notification red thing.. i thouoght it would be empty.. hmm wil take a look soon thx

I see the custom remotes in Gerry's repo here (https://github.com/GerryDazoo/Slinger/tree/main/CustomRemotes) and am trying to understand how to make a new one. Will the remote simply work if it was already configured prior? My cable box is a Motorolla/SA with composite out, which I intend to keep for the time being, but what if I need to switch this later?

The first problem is at the level of Type System, given that a situation more correct would allow us to distinguish through the Collection Type which abstraction we are operating with, species if definable as mutable or immutable. The JCF was born at a time when great care was taken to offer immediate operational data structures, and with attention to performance, but with less attention to constructs or uses that are now seen as common. These concepts have been taken up by other infrastructures from which we certainly cannot fail to mention: Eclipse Collection, Guava Collections, and VAVR.

Even better is getting Gradle/Maven to correctly pull "plain" vs "Android" versions of the package instead of them just publishing the diverging code base as two repository packages.

I'll admit I'm surprised to see that BOMs have been documented on maven.apache.org since mid-2008. It looks like Spring, for example, didn't adopt them until mid-2014. I don't know how widely they caught on in other areas. The first discussion of them in the context of Guava may have been in 2018, as I don't see mention of them in the various issues from 2011-2015 (#605, #1329, #1471, #1954.

And a quick peek at the source code for ImmutableList seems to confirm this (https://github.com/google/guava/blob/master/guava/src/com/google/common/collect/ImmutableList.java - it goes via a bunch of methods, but ends up using Arrays.copyOf(), which creates a fixed-size array).

The guava library of Java has some of these data structures implemented: https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/ImmutableCollectionsExplained , but implementations of the above book in many languages can be found on github (say, this one for Haskell: https://github.com/aistrate/Okasaki )

Java Mask: Java Mask is a library that offers various string masking techniques for sensitive data such as credit card numbers, email addresses, and more. You can find the library at: https://github.com/miguelfreitas93/java-mask DataMasker: DataMasker is a Java library specifically designed for masking sensitive data, including credit card numbers, using customizable masking patterns. Visit the GitHub repository for more information and usage examples: https://github.com/GDSSecurity/DataMasker Maskify: Maskify is a simple Java library that can be used to mask credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, and other sensitive information. You can find the library at: https://github.com/jonathancarvalhoalves/maskify CreditCardUtils: This is a lightweight Java library that provides utility methods for validating, formatting, and masking credit card numbers. Visit the GitHub repository for more information: https://github.com/malkusch/creditcardutils Google Guava: Google Guava is a popular set of Java libraries containing a wealth of utilities for working with strings, collections, and more. While not specifically designed for masking credit card information, you can use Guava's string manipulation methods to mask sensitive data: https://github.com/google/guava

I mean, I guess, technically? If you define it like that, then Microsoft has people working for them for free, as does Google, as does Apple, etc. It's not that weird, and you can try to twist it to be weird, but those of us in the software industry largely regard this as a good thing.

So we have https://github.com/google/guava/issues/4011

Ok, so let's implement our lazy initialization more smartly to avoid acquiring the lock every time and use old fashion but still working double-checked locking. I've found it implemented by Suppliers.memoize in guava library.
