I used sylpheed for a long time! But, it is a LITTLE bit looking long in the tooth these days, with the Windows 95 throwback :-) However, it might provide a fallback just in case...

You can find a LOT cheaper these days, the ICE40 eval boards are very nice. The cheapest one is a USB stick[0] doesn't have a lot of 'peripherals' but is 15 quid, and self contained. While the most expensive one is 25 quid, h

Yeah, what stops me usualy plonking one in my project is the 20GB of IDE I'll have to install to have the pleasure of seeing it take /forever/ to do it's thing. However this has just changed. There is an excellent proj

Nice one, they are not too extortionate on the 'essential kit' either. That pi zero might become an alternative (for me) to the Olinuxino Micro [0] and the NanoPi [1] -- these are ARM9 based so even more dated than the Pi Zero; ho

Broadcom must be delighted to have managed to find a use for their obsolete part from 2007 or so. Some accountant, somewhere, is happy :-) Probably a neat little board too, but unlikely to be $5. It's at £11.88 [0] ex VAT ex shipping a

Sprite_tm is a good friend, that project has been brewing for a little while, all because of that xkcd cartoon! Next step is to have multiple servers running multiple Tama, and create a REAL singularity! :-)

I don't know, but that certainly requires quite a beam to still be dangerous over a few hundred meters, especially with the pollution around to scatter the light... I'd wouldn't think it would be the handheld kind, but I don&

I'm not sure the people doing that do it 'for fun' -- I think might be a bit of a reaction to what the aviation lobby does around Heathrow: the planes are being kept a low altitude for dozens of miles while making their turns

Hehe you'd be /amazed/ how much smaller the kernel gets it you don't put in IPv4/6 -- and let me tell you, when you upload via uart, every little helps :-) My fav method is to build a kernel with just busybox using

Try that thru a double connection? ie, ssh-ing to a machine from an already open ssh session? I'm amazed I get -1 for that post; scp is clunky as hell when you already have a shell in 'that' directory; and it'll only wor

Not only Zmodem was cool, it was also open source back then, and very easy to integrate into your program. In fact, little known fact, it's still very useful today ; if you ssh into a box that has it installed, and you have it install

After having my 16C stolen a long while back, it took me years to source another at a 'reasonable' price. It's around $300 for a 16C in good condition these days.

Only problem with the calc app is that it takes forever to find, load etc. I still use a pair of 16C because of that; they lie on the desk and they look pretty :-)

mmap() is still fantastic for mostly-read datasets. If you serialize and queue your writes, and 'replay' them with a little bit of heuristics about page alignments you can also help the kernel a lot with the flushing job. I'v
