I'd second that; ODROID is a platform to avoid. A couple of years ago I bought a C2 and it still hasn't progressed beyond the 3.14 kernel required by the versions of Android Samsung was shipping on phones using that chip[1]. Also

In the mid 90s I had the dubious pleasure of being asked to repair a series of TEMPEST certified computers: standard Zenith 8086 clones (well, as standard as a Zenith got anyway) inside a massive steel chassis with all inputs/outputs w

Yeah, I bought the DAVx/ICSx pair (as well as CalDAV-Sync and CardDAV-Sync pair) to get Android syncing. I found it more understandable than when configuring Fastmail on iOS given the way Fastmail makes you (or made when I initially s

I didn't see an app for CalDAV/CardDAV syncing on the list. Perhaps that's so fundamental it doesn't need mentioning?

Eh, not always. SGI used MIPS to make big servers (and supercomputer clusters) back in the day - although I only ever got to play with an Origin 200[0] and the little Indy that was its console. More cost-effective than Sun hardware at the

So the latest Firefox broke that for me. It seems to front-run my URLs as I type them and if the result is a 404 it sends me over to DDG with my URL as the search. :/ Really, really obnoxious but I haven't taken the time yet to

Reminds me of [Bob Stout's Snippets]( https://github.com/vonj/snippets.org ). I used his collection often back when I were a lad.

I am reminded of this story I bumped into on Reddit some time ago. Granted it's a small plane but still: https://www.reddit.com/r/flying/comments/10fcqm/whats_the_mo...

Well, except that you can already get the first RISC-V-based 32-bit microcontroller from a different CrowdSupply campaign ... https://www.crowdsupply.com/sifive/hifive1/ Perhaps the difference is that the Open-V b

I switched to using https://github.com/Anorov/cloudflare-scrape in my RSS bot because several of the blogs I follow moved to CloudFlare. It wasn't precisely a drop-in replacement for Requests, but it wasn't

I got bitten by this a couple of days ago - I wrongly assumed that tags on GitHub were identical to the tarballs offered on the project's website. Not so much, as it turns out: https://github.com/Tarsnap/spiped&#x

I really wish that, in addition to the camera, they'd include a sort of proximity cone (radar, sonic, something) too. Case in point: Coworker of mine gets himself a Leaf - loves it to death. So, to partake of his joy, we all take a r

Most often these days, distros ship with filesystem extended attributes enabled (though you might have to add the user_xattr flag to the mount options to be able to actually use them).

This is my first project in Go so the code may not be very nice.

Ctrl-Z in unix puts your app to sleep so you can background it or kill it via the `kill` command. I find on badly saturated connections (accidentally running a command that produces tons and tons of output) that I can often suspend a comma

Thanks for the pointer to that project. Hopefully I won't have to do another of these off-the-cuff throwaways again (which means I won't have to leave the comfort-zone of virtualenv on Linux), but if I do, I now know where to find the kitc

You're right, I indulged in too much purple prose there. Sorry. Would you expand on what you meant by: > The context of the comment makes it seem like it's subpar on these things. What I intended to get across was that Bottle, being a

Bottle's API easy to understand and has sane defaults. It also doesn't require any boiler-plate code and isn't saddled with any dependency baggage. I found it trivial to wire in the Rocket web server as a replacement for WSGIref which had

I'm not a fan of Hover though I have all my domains registered with them right now. They store your password in cleartext and their website is downright bizarre - it wants to be iGoogle, I guess. They're less obnoxious than GoDaddy but tha

No. I suggest you do some reading on exactly what sort of worst-case failures can occur there. http://mitnse.com/ has good information.

Not being able to ditch ads is quite disappointing. Especially for $10 a month.
