Indeed that is true that for most cases WiFi can do the things users want. My note was that not everything you can do with Ethernet frames can be converted to WiFi frames. One such example is Ethernet multicast.

Since not all IEEE 802.1 Ethernet frames can be converted to IEEE 802.11 frames using the Linux bridging infrastructure isn't sufficient (even though it can do fancy things like bridge non-Ethernet and Ethernet interfaces; Like bridgin

Not every IEEE 802.1 Ethernet frame can be converted to an IEEE 802.11 WiFi frame. To do that you would need some type of tunnel to the Ethernet fabric.

I do not know, though I do know that just disabling logging wasn't sufficient.

The difference is really just that the ASN.1 tag really just contains the data type, with limited application-level space to describe it. JSON/XML let you us an arbitrary string to "tag" data. ASN.1, on the other hand, has m

You might want to try filed ! This was for serving MPEG4-TS files with, IIRC, H.264 video and MPEG-III audio streams -- nothing fancy -- from a server running a container living on a disk attached via USB/1.1. While USB/1.1 has en

I can go over it -- I should note that I like ASN.1 (as described by X.690). As part of a project where I needed to parse X.509 certificates I wrote a simple ASN.1 -> X.509 parser which does the mapping in place. This can be found at [0

filed [0] is written to be readable, and stateless, and runs from a chroot, and has no configuration file. It doesn't run from xinetd and it's multi-threaded, though. I wrote it because no other web server could serve files fast

This is why running this (completely trivial) service yourself is helpful -- you can get the external IP from the perspective you desire.

Tcl tends to get used in weird places, and is stable so has a high sticky-ness.

If you're interested in getting more quickly and WANT to write software, you can have the Raspberry Pi control most televisions over HDMI-CEC using libcec [0], and then you just need the voice recognition stuff mentioned above (Rhasspy

Point #4 is particularly salient since it seems like telemetry information for a CLI-based tool which monitors the user's keystrokes doesn't provide the user any advantages.

Thanks for helping me to understand this better.

It seems like in that case a remote control could be placed nearby -- are you also using voice activated code words to control the television ?

by rkeene2 5y ago
I've never understood the desire to control systems by speaking to them in code words. Speaking monopolizes a shared channel, requires diverting your conversation, and is really slow. For practically anything that involves using code

Step 1 is to buy a reader, any reader which is ISO 7816 compliant is fine. Next, buy a smart card. The most famous brand I can think of right now is Gemalto, but there are lots of options. You can buy them in quantities of 1 extremely che

I think the universe is slowly standardizing on WebAuthn/U2F for this. The US Government got rid of passwords in 2004 by switching to smartcards, and Google also did so in 2017 by switching to hardware security tokens.

by rkeene2 5y ago
I think we should move away from passwords entirely, the UX for that is often much better for users (and as a bonus, you don't need to worry about your password being compromised, or password managers).

A useful thing to do when forking software is to give it a new name, to make it clear that it's a separate thing. It sounds like you copied some specific version of software you depend on, then forked it, but left the name the same --

As someone who used Visual Basic 1.0 for DOS through Visual Basic 4 (VB5 did not run well on my i80486), I wonder if there is a lot of value in being so compatible with VB6 at this point ? Admittedly I have been out of the VB scene for a w

If the author is around, the one thing I would ask for is a release so that it can be reasonably added to package repositories.
