Termux is amazing (not possible to get equivalent on iOS without jailbreak). The number of packages in the repository, as well as the speed of version updates (sometimes in line with Arch Linux - a rolling release) are really amazing. Bough

You need the Classic Anthology and Blizzard app to play the remastered. Use `F5` - YES! to switch between SD and HD. Those who pre-purchased will get additional skins for CC(T)/Nexus(P)/Hive(Z) - haven't figured out how to to

StarCraft Remastered and Age of Empires: Definitive Edition, wow. Feast for classic game players. I played both when they were released, I prefer StarCraft due to its perfect gameplay (multiplayer), competitiveness/balance, it's t

Hmmm, looks like not many people on HN care about DigitalOcean nowadays. I guess most people use AWS EC2 (or Lightsail), Linode or Vultr instead. I've been a long time DO user, 4.5 years. So far so good, especially happy about the upti

strongSwan for Android offers a lot more than just IKEv2. - support for MOBIKE -> automatically reconnect when switching connectivity - importing JSON format VPN profiles via HTTPS - easy X509 certificate import - 1 click IKEv2 + RSA aut

I agree with most of your points. I'll probably sell the Nexus 5 (running LineageOS 14.1 now) and get a Mi 6 as a backup phone. I used to run AOSP (stock) and root because of the camera optimization. I found it frustrating when Google

Nexus 5X has exactly the same back camera, it takes pretty good pictures, software optimisation may have a lot to do with photo qualities as if you run LineageOS / CyanogenMod, you won't be getting as good photos for sure. The pro

I've been an Android user since Nexus S (Android 2.3), Nexus 4, Nexus 5, all the way up to Nexus 5X (7.1.x). The LG made Nexus 5X bricked (suddenly rebooted and never boots again) at 13 months old due to a known hardware fault, there i

It was one of those very first batch of games that Wine used to promote itself ;-) Single player mode should be perfectly fine. Multiplayer mode which requires network may require some manual work (e.g. IPX and battle.net).

Google's Shell Style Guide says: Indent 2 spaces. No tabs. Use blank lines between blocks to improve readability. Indentation is two spaces. Whatever you do, don't use tabs. For existing files, stay faithful to the existing indent

Indentation war is ON again ;-) TL;DR - Linux kernel source code use TABs (8 characters) instead of spaces. The rationale behind is that the maintainers believe that large indentation makes code easier to read on screen (especially for long

As a huge fan of Starcraft and its expansion Brood War, I am really excited. I bought StarCraft 2 after it was released but I simply didn't like it, maybe I grew older and life was busy then. However, I think it's more about the f

Long story short: the so-called bug -> monitor damage is not caused by code but cat - obviously NOT `/usr/bin/cat` ;-)

Thanks for pointing out, good insight. Haven't really done a deep dive for OpenVPN as strongSwan works perfectly fine for pretty much all my use cases. However, strongSwan (IPsec) is easy to block (e.g. if detected by big brother - GFW

Containerization is cool, however, if you use policy-based VPN, how do you address the use case with more than 1 strongSwan instance (container) running on the same host, obviously sharing the same host Linux kernel.

strongSwan is the best free and open source IPsec implementation available on Linux, (much better than libreswan...), good documentation, use cases and examples etc, good quality of code (less bugs - that's what we've found runnin

OpenVPN is SSL VPN, relatively easy to setup, it operates in transport layer. strongSwan (IPsec) works in layer 3. To properly install and configure strongSwan, following the tutorials available over the Nnternet is not enough. One needs to

Some feedback: I've been using DO droplets since mid 2013, reliability is excellent, no unexpected reboots at all. With the help of Ksplice the Ubuntu Server droplet has achieved 555 and 401 days uptime without downtime (could hang on

For those who are curious: To be accurate, locate is a command provided by mlocate package (shipped by most modern distributions) which supersedes GNU slocate. mlocate is a locate/updatedb implementation. The 'm' stands for &

That's KDE Dolphin, has been improved a lot over the last few years. KDE in general has been in good shape, better than GNOME 3 in my opinion. I've been using GNOME 2 and GNOME 3 (up to 3.8 when they completely got rid of fallback

Actually, I missed this point. Thank you for pointing out ;-) I think that's why more and more open source tools (scripts or automation {cook,play}books, etc.} have been made available to enable people to self serve and build their own

People should NOT trust free VPN services at all, as you don't pay level of service is not guaranteed. What's worse, who knows what the service provide is doing with the data flowing through the tunnels (to)? cover the operational

L2TP/IPsec is obsolete, itself does NOT provide encryption or confidentiality to traffic passes through it. L2TP/IPsec encapsulates data twice at layer 2, it has pros and cons. See this (may be out-dated) -> https://
