Take a look at https://nerdydaytrips.org/ and add any places that you know of. It already has the Early Television Museum: https://nerdydaytrips.org/daytrip/na/us/early-television-mus...
I view "you might not need tmux" in the same way as "you might not need browser tabs". Yes, if you only have one or two terminal sessions or open web pages then you can probably live without using them, but anything…
Are the demo servers a good enough example? https://www.traccar.org/demo-server/
I attached a cheap IKEA Vindriktning PM2.5 sensor to esphome to get air cleanliness data into Home Assistant [1]. That's also very simple to do - solder some wires and write a few lines of yaml and it shows up in the…
Why turn it off? Google are still going to parse your emails and pull out details about bookings to build a better profile of you, no matter what settings you disable. So why not have them do something useful for you…
It works in Joplin too
I'm a mapping noob, but I've got a half-planned project which will need web based maps, and tilemaker looks great. The GitHub readme lists "You want the entire planet" as a reason not to use tilemaker. Why is that?…
Cloudflare's RFO blog posts are incredibly detailed. Each time I read one, I feel reasonably confident that they have learnt from the mistakes that lead to that outage and that it shouldn't happen again.…
In the UK, lots of real estate descriptions side-step the problem completely and use terms like 'Bedroom 1' for the largest bedroom and 'Bedroom 2' etc for the 2nd largest.
This is done in the DNS world too. The unbound[1] resolver can pre-fetch a new record half way through the TTL if enough clients have requested it. That guarantees that the cache remains hot for records that clients are…
Yes. That's what the Open Rights Group are doing, and they want donations to help with it. https://action.openrightsgroup.org/help-us-protect-your-data...
I've used instructions similar to those to get AMT KVM working with a normal VNC client, it works fine. The only catch is that the AMT seems to intercept all traffic to port 5900 coming in through the NIC, not just that…
I've used Startech FTDI based multi-port serial to USB adapters along with a Mikrotik Routerboard to make serial-to-ethernet or serial-to-LTE boxes. The Mikrotik boxes expose the serial port on a TCP port for you to…
Yep. I've just picked up a few second hand HP EliteDesk 800 G2 desktops with the intention of turning them into a homelab for k8s learning. They have AMT and the web power control, VNC based KVM and SoL work well. There…
My university let students put procmail files in their home directories to filter their incoming email. I created a .procmailrc file which set a DISPLAY env variable and then spawned an xterm process. That popped up a…
Don't forget about the Alt-Shift-U keyboard shortcut to open Bitwarden in a Firefox sidebar. Using that, the extension doesn't close when you click elsewhere in the page.
Take a look at https://e.foundation/ It's a LineageOS fork which bundles MicroG and several apps to make a more usable out-of-the-box OS. They have also re-added frequent builds for many of the phones that Lineage had…
Yes. It's an Allwinner A64 chip underneath and they have binary blobs which they haven't ported to anything newer than 3.10
I'm in the same boat as you. I bought new earpads last week for my 15 year old pair of Sennheiser HD477 rather than buying a new set of headphones, and my primary laptop is an X230 from 2012.
thelounge is an web based IRC client with persistence like irccloud, except that thelounge is open source and self-hosted. https://thelounge.chat/
I'm also very interested in whether Authy will be usable on Linux after Chrome Apps go away, or what viable replacements exist. I experimented with migrating from Chrome to Firefox 57 when that launched. It's a very…
