While it may not look like it, in my opinion the uwsgi project desperately needs documentation help. http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ There is just an endless list of features, and no clear red thread

You are right, but it makes a bigger difference than you suspect. My bike has a 2x10 setup right now, and I am most likely converting that to 1x10 or paying up for a 1x11 setup in the future. Not having to choose between 1-2 on the front an

At the world cup finals in Hafjell, Norway last weekend, the top guys were hitting 82 kmh (51 mph~) on a open section speed trap. They aren't quite as fast in tighter sections, but still plenty fast. Here is the helmet cam footage of J

Do not forget about suspension technology. A mid-range fork today is so much better than a mid-range pogo-stick fork from the 90s. Better forks & shocks as well as a slacker headtube-angle on most bikes today make todays bike a lot bett

Look for end of the season sales, or better yet, know someone that works for a supplier or store that can get you a decent discount. Mountain bikes are insanely expensive, but for local stores there mostly isn't a big profit margin (at

I do kind of get a kick out of that, but at the same time I also just want a safe system for storing data. If I end up building something like this I will take a look at FreeNAS! Thanks!

By 'something like this' I meant pretty much what you just said: Would you do it the same way (your own everything) if you needed a much smaller system, or would you go with something like FreeNAS, like you suggested? I am confide

Would you recommend building something like this for a much smaller system? 10TiB or so maybe, I do not need that much, or do you think buying a NAS of some kind would be better? I kind of want to set something like this up while spending t

I completely agree that mass surveillance is and will be a problem, and drones like that might very well be a part of the problem in the future. But the 'drone' in this case did not do anything. It is a remote controlled vehicle,

An alternative to this is RoboBrowse [1] which is also based on requests + BeautifulSoup4 and seems a lot more mature. [1] http://robobrowser.readthedocs.org/en/latest/readme.html

I'm kind of wondering why they need so many different servers to fetch the file from the remote host. It would be smart to at implement rate-limiting, and also delegate to a specific server close to the host to fetch the image, and the

I was watching Notch coding his christmas santa game in Dart/WebGL the last time, that was fun. If you try to keep up with what he/the streamer is writing in your own editor you can get a better feeling of how certain things work.

I like it, but why not use something like htop? [1] Perhaps it's not entirely comparable, but you do not need to open any extra ports or run any extra processes. It looks really nice though! [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/

It's just a nicer interface to iptables. Instead of changing my iptables config file you can do things like 'sudo ufw allow 22' or 'sudo ufw allow http' for example. You should still understand iptables but you do n

Use OBS http://obsproject.com/ (Open Broadcaster Software) and stream to a website like justin.tv/twitch.tv. It's also possible to save to a file, so it's easy to do screen capture for anything else too.
