I've heard other cases like this in Asia, where some people ate raw snake meat (ie sushi style), which was considered delicacies, and one man ended up with parasite in his lungs and was on TV news. Another case was in US where a boy a

Wow, I like this a lot, as it looks easy to run and it can sync to multiple targets. My local backup consists of JBOD (not RAID, ZFS or BTRFS) so I think this should work nicely. I've been using a shell script for doing something sim

This is intended for middle and high school students (who has never been exposed to coding). I used to teach coding to kids in school, so this is an invaluable free resource, and I might use it for teaching javascript in future

I have several old phones that are about to become e-waste, but I'd love to use these old hardware to host my website or blogs at home. They are powerful enough (mostly ARM processor like Raspberry pi) and they have very low power usa

Yes, if you like VSCode, keep using it. I say that everyone's preference is different. As for me, I use both vim (for general editing) and vscode (javascript coding), depending on what I'm working on. As for the keyboard command

I've been using Vim for the past 10 years every single day. I don't know any other software that I've used daily, with exception to the OS. While I come from the old school vi days, Vim really became the ultimate productivit

If it has Linux kernel, then it is Linux. And if it is Linux and has a GUI on top of it, I consider it a Linux desktop. I definitely think that ChromeOS is Linux desktop and even the Android should be considered a Linux desktop.

I use Ripgrep daily for searching anything in code or in text files, and I'm grateful every time I use it (on windows, linux, mac, vscode, vim, etc...). It's one of those software that has changed my life and how I work. Wheneve

I am using AMD Ryzen CPU because I don't need to use water-cooling, and I get a really decent performance out with 8 core/16 threads. Intel CPU runs way too hot, and I don't want to spend more money on AIO, when I don't

Fantasque Sans Mono is my favorite as well, and is the only font I use for coding (in Vim, VScode, Ryder, etc...). The slight hint of style makes it so easy to read, and not boring (unlike other monospace fonts). It's free and good alt

The photos in https://www.docubyte.com/projects/guide-to-computing/ are absolutely amazing, and I like the little touches like animation of blinking lights. I'd wish this was also available as a book.

Tetris has become so universal that it feels like a generic term, similar to how we usually say Kleenex instead of tissue and chapstick instead of lip balm. "Setris" sounds fine as name of the game, although I also like "San

That was similar to my experience with Dvorak, back in the early 90's. Having learned touch typing on qwerty on an IBM typewriter from high school, and learning/typing for several years, I thought I was pretty good typist, but in

I remember seeing NeXT for the first time in person, in my college computer store, back in the late 80's. When it first caught my eyes, I didn't know what it was, and I couldn't believe it was actually a computer, seeing the

While I didn't do this last time, in the future, I would plug the Raspberry pi to one of my smart power outlet (ie Kasa wifi power outlet) connected via HomeAssistant, so I can remotely restart it if Raspberry Pi becomes unresponsive.

Before going to a long 3 month trip to Asia last year, I installed WireGuard on my Raspberry Pi 1 (original model B from 2012) which was running at home in US. I found PiVPN to be the easiest way to install Wireguard. I didn't know if

Wow, this is great for getting a glimpse of various video techniques in cinematography... just found out I could click it to see bigger video. This also reminds me of https://shotdeck.com , which is a paid service.

I see a lot of Ebay listing selling pc with "intel i5 CPU" without description with the exact CPU model #, so I have no idea whether I'm dealing with 4th gen i5 or 8th gen i5. It's confusing to less technical buyers who
