I advise people to use porkbun generally. Personally I use and like EasyDNS, though their UI is a little quirky.

This is a really great read. I was briefly obsessed with laserdiscs in the mid-aughts and went as far as swapping the EFM decoder chip on a Pioneer player with something that could pull the digital audio signal out (details are a little fu

Our first home computer was a 386SX with a 300MB hard drive and 4MB of RAM, which seemed amazingly capacious at the time.

Huh, I was just thinking about something sort of like this after camping with some friends and our kids this weekend -- we brought FRS walkie-talkies for all of them (cannot recommend this enough!) and on the drive home my four-year-old was

Melville (roughly) agrees -- from the first chapter of Moby-Dick: --- Once more. Say you are in the country; in some high land of lakes. Take almost any path you please, and ten to one it carries you down in a dale, and leaves you there by

A few years ago I was at a cafe in a venue that had a large conference/gathering, and their router was handing out 24 hour DHCP leases and ran out of IP addresses. It was a fairly technical group so me and a couple other people set up

The Geekport is reasonably well-documented -- this is a direct logic analyzer port on the bus on the mainboard (in the form factor of a CPU socket -- upper right of the photo on this page): http://testou.free.fr/www.beatjapa

This is an utterly random question, and I'm sure there's a better place to ask it, but does anyone reading this happen to have/know the logic analyzer pinout [0] on the BeBox mainboard? I got a weird rackmount BeBox (an LCS

I intermittently use a Twiddler (older version). The learning curve is initially steep but fine with practice. It's not cheap but it's not that expensive, and it works for mousing as well: https://www.tekgear.com&#x2F

Hahah, fair, but there are a _lot_ of Asterion/Asterius/Asterios-s, even just in mythology.

I used the GMT extensively in 2002/2003 or so while doing summer research. Not a low barrier to entry but incredibly useful and versatile, and was my first non-amateur introduction to CLI/pipeline style coding. Great to see it&#
