Classy obiturary by the EFF. Cryptome seems to have been around forever in internet terms - I just checked and indeed it's been almost 30 years. RIP John, your site was Wikileaks long before Wikileaks.

I'm a long time fan of David Williams' demos on the channel. Emacs Solo was quite inspiring in that it made me want to seriously adopt it for a month or two just to see if I could be productive in it without all the zillions of be

I was completely blown away when I realized that the opening cinematic was the actual game engine. First time I'd ever seen it and the scenes cleverly foreshadowed what was coming.

Lokimedes doesn't need to hear all this. He's a highly trained professional.

I'm a 20 handicap who bought AimPoint five or six years ago and it improved my green reading immensely. And I certainly do not waste playing partner's time on the green. It's just a quick feel, stick up the fingers and then p

I started making my grandmother's recipe again recently and it's amazing and amazingly simple. A pint of cream, a tin of condensed milk and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whip the cream until it lightly peaks, stir in the condense

I'm trying to remember the reason we couldn't use MQTT-Sockets. I do remember we couldn't though. Also we could not use Web sockets server side.

Reposting my comment from five years ago: I once had a client where the only port available for me to use on their firewalls was for MQTT (1883) because that's how we were getting sensor data from them. They would not open anything els

Never stomp on the current directory when someone extracts your archive. No source so no-one knows what it's doing in the background. Needs glibc 2.38. That having been said, it looks lean and mean. I will keep an eye on it.
