I have a couple good reasons for still using good old Thunderbird as my mail client. One of them is the easy and quite flexible editing of filters for automatically sorting incoming mails into different folders. "Thrash" usually have 3 to 10 times as many new entries than the sum of new entries in other folders 
I have given up trying to stop spam, invitations, "special offer" and whathaveyou. Maybe once a week or two weeks, my Inbox receives another spam, and I have to look for some characteristic for identifying this message, and whatever follows from the same source, as garbage. It is usually quite easy, done in thirty seconds.

I agree with the uselessness of code tests.
I wrote up an article that suggested you take the following snippet to all tech interviews:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Then, when they interviewer gives you the esoteric code item that you are supposed to know, pull this sheet of paper out and ask...
Question the questioner Which warning(s) and/or error(s) (if any) will the W3C Validator display for this HTML sample?
The W3C Markup Validation Service[^]
Drop the code snippet in and see the answers.
When the interviewer says it's ridiculous, just say, "So I'm hired then, right?"

I like that article.
I use an on line mail washer ($35 a year for 4 email addresses) and I can blacklist addresses and the emails don't make it me. I can look at the quarantine report and see if there is anything that should not have gotten blocked. I then use a mail sorter/spam filter (popfile) for downloaded mail and then on to Thunderbid. I have 6 email addresses (4 domains). I guess that it is now 7, I am looking into one in Switzerland.
A client of mine has same online washer and for a long time, some 80% of email was quarantined, some for malware, some for spam. I think it has dropped into the 50's. Only 20 some email addresses.
Luckily, they were still able to apply for $6 million from Nigeria.
Thanks for the link to that article. Good one.

Why not just post a clickable link?

Is stupidity a valid reason for such? Or maybe senility?

Neat, my questions are what is programmed in Python3? what Pi are you running it on, does it have an inbuilt temperature senor?
|
|
|
|
|
No python in there.. I did test the module with python some time back. It is all in C# using the C libraries. The module is external, no temp module built into the Pi, that would just tell me the temp of the Pi. I am also using another module that has Temp, Humidity and pressure.

I see a progress bar, the temp, and the status.
Is this the Pi's temp, or ambient temp?
I wrote a .Net Core app that can get the temp of the pi at the specified IP address. Runs on Linux and windows.
