This is a very niche thing I made. Berkeley has this wonderful facility called the Open Computing Facility; among other things, they have free printing for students. However, you need to print from their computers. For me, logging into my email can be a bit of a hassle (I keep forgetting my password!). So I over-engineered this thing.
Here's what it does:
- Creates a temporary
printdirectory. - Creates a Flask web server that serves files from that directory.
- Uses
ngrokto create a tunnel to that web server.
And then I can get my files! Once I quit the program it deletes the print and takes down the web server.
