Device: MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) activity monitor check your activity monitor and figure out the processes with max CPU and memory consumption; manually close some of them if you’re not using it. https://souravbadami.com/the-requested-address-is-not-valid-in-its-context/ Wed, 15 Nov 2017 02:31:13 +0530 https://souravbadami.com/the-requested-address-is-not-valid-in-its-context/ facing this with Python 2.7 and ftplib? i won’t waste your time; let’s fix it. the error shows up when passive mode returns an address your client can’t route to. ftplib trusts that address; your network doesn’t. so we stop trusting it — subclass FTP_TLS, keep the port from makepasv, and force the host you already connected to. import ftplib class FTP_TLS_UNROUTABLE_HOST(ftplib.FTP_TLS, object): def makepasv(self): _, port = super(FTP_TLS_UNROUTABLE_HOST, self).makepasv() return self. https://souravbadami.com/mycleanindia-app/ Mon, 09 Jan 2017 02:31:13 +0530 https://souravbadami.com/mycleanindia-app/ you can’t fix what you can’t see; cities have plenty of unhygienic spots that never make it onto a map. MyCleanIndia was a project to tag those places on Google Maps (Maps API v3), with a Python backend. the goal was simple — make cleanliness gaps visible so people and civic systems have something concrete to act on. it was a student project, rough in places, but it taught me a lot about shipping something public instead of just talking about impact. https://souravbadami.com/passport-status-change-notifier/ Sun, 16 Oct 2016 02:31:13 +0530 https://souravbadami.com/passport-status-change-notifier/ waiting on an Indian passport application is mostly refreshing a status page and hoping the text moved. i wrote a small Python script that checks the status every hour and fires a desktop notification when it changes. no dashboard, no app store listing — just one less tab open in my brain while bureaucracy does its thing. code: passportstatus.py. https://souravbadami.com/birthday-wishing-bot/ Tue, 23 Aug 2016 02:31:13 +0530 https://souravbadami.com/birthday-wishing-bot/ forgetting birthdays is easy; automating them is easier. this is a small Python bot that reads a list of birthdays and posts a wish to a Facebook page via the Graph API. nothing clever about the wish itself — the point was learning how page publishing works end to end, and removing one more thing from my head. code’s here. https://souravbadami.com/auto-hibernate/ Sun, 14 Aug 2016 02:28:01 +0530 https://souravbadami.com/auto-hibernate/ most machines don’t know when you’ve walked away; they just sit there burning power until you remember to close the lid. i built a small Python script that watches the room through a camera, uses OpenCV for motion detection, and hibernates the system when nobody’s nearby for a while. no fancy product — just a useful automation for a machine that sits idle too often. code’s on GitHub.
