It looks great, is open-source, and free for up to 10 devices. I've been using Hamachi, but I may switch.

I wonder if we could reach a compromise, by using stylus instead of using keyboard on a digital device (such as iPad pro or MS Surface Pro) and apps like OneNote. On a side note, there is a handwriting organization ( http://www.ch

I like to keep it in original audio format (usually AAC) instead of mp3, because with mp3 conversion, there is also some loss of quality due to re-compression.

I also want to thank my parents for buying me C64, my first computer, especially during the time when my family wasn't doing so well financially; I can't ever be upset about giving tech support to my parents. It reminds me of a C6

Actually, I think if you have all the parts already (i.e. RPi, webcams), this makes a lot of sense. Creating a Frankenstein system out of existing components would be interesting, and cost would be zero.

This is a really cool project, and I'm always thinking about doing something similar with RPi or other small computer. In the past, I had built my own x86-based CarPC for music/media/GPS/automation/etc. However, the

I'd also prefer 19" racks, but for home server, I'd advise against it due to the fact that most rack cases are unbearably noisy thanks to higher RPM fans and the way the air flow is designed in the case. I'd like to put

This is similar to how I had learned to play the drums, which I started few months ago. I didn't want to spend hours and hours of practicing the rudiment strokes (aka single/double strokes, paradiddles, etc). Instead, I had lear

Thank you for sharing your awesome story. I've learned a lot, and I agree that swallowing one's ego is probably the toughest part, especially in an environment where I tend to be the youngest/least experienced.

I currently use Debian for all the servers, and I cannot imagine using any other OS beside Linux for servers. I've also played with everything from ancient VAX mainframe, SUN OS, all kinds of BSD flavors, and my first experience using

I like the self-update and its simple operation. The hand-wave seems to be gimicky, but it looks quite useful. As for the design, I think Apple's Airport Extreme looks much nicer, and more importantly, the Asus onHub as glowing base. A

For Surface Books, the price point seems to be off. It's priced higher than Macbook pro, and thus I have to justify the need for SB's exceptional portability. A MBP with i5/128GB typically sells for $1299 (but often cheaper f

Asciio should be available as a package. For example, in Debian, it can be installed: sudo apt-get install asciio

Problem with imgur is that it compresses the image too much, and the degradation is noticeable. I don't recommend imgur for archival purpose.

Even though location is embedded in EXIF, you can disable geolocation feature in Flickr's privacy setting, so that it won't be in the photo that is displayed on flickr. But yes, it does keep EXIF info in its database. For those

One way to minimize the distance between the keyboard and the mouse was to switch the mouse from the right side to the left. This, of course, means that I had to learn to use the left hand for mouse, but this actually helped more than anyth

I use Notational Velocity (and its fork, nvALT) on Mac for almost everything. This replaced everything, including Evernote, etc. The text files are saved to git repository daily. On Linux, I use vim (with lots of plugins that gives me simi

PHP had many positives: (1) killer apps like Wordpress and PHPmyadmin, (2) PHP apps are easy to install and run on most stock *nix system, and (3) bare-bone PHP runs fast, compared to Rails or other framework (which is not a fair comparison

I thought that Pi was the ideal for LTSP and remote X in local network. The achilles heel of Pi is that it's limited to 100mbps and not even all that due to its shared bus limitation. From experience, I could also tell the difference b

This is truly a game changer for me. Finally, I can develop for ios/osx without the excruciating pain and torture of working with the antiquated and ugly syntax of obj-c.

I would've recommended ZFS, as I found it more resistant to corruption than any other file system that I've ever used. It's not certain where the problem was --faulty cpu, faulty raid card, faulty hard disk, faulty memory --

No print and no export functionality are a deal breaker for me. I want to own my data, but unfortunately even my own data could only live inside Microsoft's domain. This is the vendor lock-in that I don't want to face.

My life depends on Notational Velocity. It's the fastest note taking system I've ever used. The killer feature is the ability to go from search to edit instantly. It's so good, that I'd consider buying a Mac only becau
