A working QR code in the style of Piet Mondrian. Inspired @divbyzero and @andrewt.

New favourite way to transfer awkward strings between computers. *beep*

Announcing: justaqrcode.com.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

With #LibreOffice now able to include #QRCode directly, it's easy to create #WiFi connection posters!

(While still putting the info as text for those who can't decode the QR…)

Menu: Insert -> OLE Object -> QR code and barcode

The URI to use is a bit weird, cf.

web.archive.org/web/2022051701… (French but it's clear enough)

WIFI:S:<SSID>;T:<WPA|WEP>;P:<password>;H:<false|true>;;

(A ; is required after the password, the remainder is optional. H is for hidden APs)

Linux life hack: say you have a page open in Firefox on your Linux machine and you want to view it on your phone (and you don’t have some fancy integration between the two)…

Instead of typing in the URL, get the FxQRL extension that shows you a QR code of the current tab’s URL and aim your phone’s camera at it.

Boom! :)
