Haha, I still just use the ROX filer. It's quite minimal but has some nice keyboard navigation shortcuts.

I guess we should all just give up and go home then, I mean it's obvious that nobody should try. Ever. This is how you ensure that it only gets worse.

Haha, I've done the opposite. I found it was too easy to spend money, that I was doing so without thinking as much of it as I would have in the past. I've gone back to cash as a form of self control

The regulations surrounding amateur radio just seem antiquated. It's a shame, because radio is really interesting, but a lot (yes, not all) of amateur stuff feels as though it's stuck in the past. Before I get lectured, yes, I und

While not completely related, can anybody suggest a good, clean way of implementing centralised login under Linux? With yp/nis being out of date (and not considered secure?) most things seem to point to using Kerberos for auth, but how

There is an RDP implementation called xrdp - it's not too bad

scp for single files (bash autocompletion works on remote paths for me), sftp for a browse and rsync for large numbers of files. I don't really use regular old ftp, but if I need to then I usually just install the command-line ftp clie

I use an extension to fake my UA to that of other browser+OS combinations. It's silly how many sites serve you different things based on the User-Agent still. Google doesn't even work properly if I don't identify my browser -

I've started using M-DISC Blu-rays for my backups, which are supposed to last for quite a long time. I don't know how long they will actually last in real-world conditions, but I'm hoping its long enough that if I ever need t

Has anybody tried connecting dial-up services over a VoIP analog telephone adapter? I'd imagine for the lower bitrates it might work

For those who aren't scared of using Git with their blog, there's fugitive. It's a few {pre,post}-{commit,receive} hooks which generate a static html blog from html articles (though you can configure it with an external parse

Recently learned of openssh's AuthorizedKeysCommand option, and I've been wondering if it could be used to set up a central "authorised keys" server.

I saw someone awkwardly trying to use their Apple watch to pay for something the other day. It was kind of funny. I wonder what the numbers would be like in the UK, where contactless payment is already fairly widespread...
