I just recently started trying to get my note-taking together and build my own personal knowledge base (or at least stop trying to remember everything and instead store it somewhere to refer back to). After trying a handful of the usually

Inovelli (Z-Wave) supports this - https://inovelli.com/ They have a competitor whose name I can't remember that does the same thing. If you never program the switch, it behaves just like a regular switch. If you progra

I pretty much exclusively rely on: csvlook -I | less -S or csvformat -T | less -S (-I to avoid mixed data-types being displayed weird, but I don't consistently use that) from csvkit - https://csvkit.readthedocs.io

I just did a take-out today based on your comment here. I received links to over 100 tgz files (4GB each), and checked a couple. Each had JPG files and JSON files with extra metadata ("geoDataExif", "geoData" (inferred f

I've never heard of Timeliner. It doesn't have good Google ranking, so it was a bit buried. I think this is it: https://github.com/mholt/timeliner Timeliner is a personal data aggregation utility. It c

If you have the right situation for it, consider a projector. A decent projector and a much bigger than 65" fixed screen can be less than $1,000 combined. You won't be top of the line (maybe 1080p instead of 4k, and a "decent

My experience (and this may be brand or price-point dependent) is the opposite. My Bosch had a couple of failures (that ideally would never happen, of course), but because the parts are fairly standardized and the design is very elegant, I

Thank you for that! The built in Mac display brightness controls only seem to work for the Apple Cinema Displays - they do nothing on my Asus monitor. I just tried ddcctl ( https://github.com/kfix/ddcctl ) - and it wor

The store-bought semi-dry curry seasoning cubes ("Golden Curry") work great for this if you're ok with less "recipe" and more "combine a couple of ingredients". A box of these: https://www.wegma

I tested ~10 different bulbs for my kitchen lighting about 5 years ago. I don't know how much the situation has changed since then, but at that time I had a few key requirements - high output (150W equivalent), warmish (but not super-w

It's YouTube specific, but "k" is more reliable for me as a pause/unpause button on YouTube.

Pretty standard for anyone who follows anything about advertising: - CPC = Cost Per Click - RPM = Revenue Per Mille (revenue per thousand impressions) Both the C and R are sometimes used interchangeably - e.g. "RPC" and "CPM&

I'm also on OSX. I'm getting the focus issue as well (I get it sometimes with the old extension, but much more with this new one). Also, there seems to be no notification at all when someone messages you. That makes it fairly usel

Higher end DSLRs (including mid-line ones like the Nikon D7000) support two SD card slots and "backup" mode where both cards are written to with every picture. That's probably enough for most paranoia.

That's hilarious - I didn't notice the year at all. Good catch. Twitter's presentation method leaves a lot to be desired - they call out the year on the other posts, but not the one in question: http://i.imgur.com&

Amazon Locker is almost that service (it's not drive-through). Most of the locations seem to be inside 7-11 stores, but it's just what you describe - walk in, type in or scan your code, pick up your package.

mediaserver using a lot of battery can be caused by a corrupted media file. Wiping stored music / pictures often fixes that one. I've had that happen and tracked it down to a single small (empty?) file - once removed, the problem

If you've disabled the built in protections on Android for the /data/data/ folder (such as "root"ing it), getting the keys out is as simple as: $ su # sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.apps.a

Circles are backwards for this, though. I shouldn't have to choose who I share my public posts with. Circles are great for posts I want to limit to a certain subset of people - e.g. semi-private conversations / photos about my friends tha
