Which level are you at? If beginner, why not just start reading the code? Pick a small driver of the hardware of your choice, then print it out and start puzzling.

The pinout of that ESP32 board says 3.3V but the author feeds 5V into it. But apparently it works :) Something else I didn't quite understand: they write "NodeMCU ESP32 which is a small IoT device with a USB port and is programmab

In 2007, I'm amazed that someone still kept an IRIX box up somewhere. I remember my uni having one around 2001, and it was regarded as positively ancient.

I've tried Zoho mail and the "problem" is that it's so much more than mail. It's a huge suite of online apps, really. That means if you purely need mail, it'll take a bit of time to find the setting you need. (

I have something like it, but this one looks better maintained. Thanks!

It's in the Homebrew repo, so installing is as easy as $ brew install otter-browser What's also interesting, is that the tab-close button is on the left of the tab, like every other macOS application. Other browsers (Chro

I remember reading the BOFH series (Bastard Operator From Hell), where a horrible sysadmin would back up to null, because it was so efficient.

Yup, I also do this. Photos get moved into monthly folders, and every now and then, I run "par2create par2file *". Before I did this, in the past, I restored from backup and found I had damaged jpeg files. With par2, there's

I've picked up Fallout 4 again, and have managed to complete it at Survival difficulty, without dying once. I really enjoyed that new challenge.

I happen to like that counterpoint. It doesn't feel like damage control, it feels like what they're doing, is worthy of discussion and they don't shy away from it.

Although I'm a vi user, I have to respect that they give you the the Emacs sticker the pack labeled "Elite" :)

It's not free but it's only a buck: open source sticker pack from StickerMule https://www.stickermule.com/unixstickers And note these are pretty high quality stickers too.

If you are migrating anyway, think about getting your own domain and migrate to that.

Yeah, the nickel-and-diming thing is really annoying from a bookkeeping perspective. I was assuming a corporate structure where people have a budget for small expenses. I had this when I worked at Oracle. We had a company credit card, and I

Personally I use the "No, Thanks" extension. It costs a bit of money. Daniel Kladnik, the developer, provides you with an invoice so you can deduct it as a business, or ask your boss to pay. https://www.no-thanks-extens

Yeah and I get that lots of people don't feel like parking 15% of their savings in something that's not really yielding. But it keeps the heartburn away :)

> By the time you buy gold as a hedge, it is often too late I just pick a percentage and keep that as gold in my portfolio. Trying to time it, just makes me nervous. I think I keep around 15 percent or so.

The release date is supposed to be "early 2021" which I'm guessing would be Q1. If I go to walkingdre.am and try to subscribe to their mailing list, I get a 404. I wonder what the status of this project is.

Looks like a fun project! Would this be used for writing a point-to-point protocol on top of LoRa?

I'm getting flashbacks to the game Fallout 4. It's a post-apocalyptic open world kind of game, and the first thing you fight, are huge mole rats. The studio (Bethesda) has been acquired by Microsoft recently.

Do you see more-than-usual overweight people in this group? (Never cooking is very, very rare here in The Netherlands so I'm curious about any anecdata here).

Come on, the Purism people have put up a huge effort. You can't just casually the product "massively underwhelming" without stating your reasons for doing so.

Plus, their consumer product is extremely easy to set up so I can recommend it to folks who aren’t computer experts.

Yup, me too. It's so incredibly easy to do if you have an iPad with a kickstand, just hit record and unpack. If all is fine, delete. If not, then you are covered.
