Living permanently on 4G I couldn't get by without mosh. I have managed to do weeks of work with most+tmux+vim at times when ssh was too painful to use.

UDP certainly is connectionless, but that doesn't mean a host can't call `connect` on a UDP scoket. In fact, it is encouraged[1]. I am going to quote the entire paragraph from the …

There was a short story on starshipsofa[1] with a similar premise. A research team working time travel are worried about massive energy events, so they plan their test runs to coin…

I have one of these, I got it purely to do a build like this inspired by someone else in the hackerspace. There must be a load of people that want hardware like this in and are in …

I have a BQ E5 Ubuntu Edition(running android now) that I got nearly 1 month ago. Hardware has been okay so far, this phone has ram trouble with ubuntu touch. It is okay running an…

I am not sure why anything uses DASH, but the problem isn't just limited to it. Http video streaming is quite hard to do well, a lot of clients struggle[0] [0]: http://yuba.stanfor…

The Pirate Box[1] firmware is the perfect thing for this. The problem is finding power to keep the box running, but with wifi, you can hide the box somewhere out of site. I have al…

The channel for my local hackerspace is quite active, but not so busy that you can't keep track of what is going on. I also loiter in some bsd channels that are reasonably active a…

Jim Killock(Director of ORG) toured around Scotland last week to talk about a Scottish National Identity scheme. The audio I recorded of him is on the internet archive here[1] [1]:…

I was in the room for this talk and despite the technical issues, it was a very inspiring session.

This is great news, the DragonFly project keeps doing really interesting things. The interview linked elsewhere in the thread give a good overview of how the project is doing. Matt…

Wow I had never seen these devices from Onyx before. Thanks for posting this. I too would be really interested to find out how the phone works in the real world. I am less interest…

There is an opera of this poem by Fredosphere. I think it comes out really well, but I always get strange looks when it comes out of iTunes. http://fredosphere.uni-nets.com/

I skimmed, but cannot seem to see which project is being supported when they say NTP. When you support the OpenBSD Foundation you support: - OpenBSD - OpenSSH - OpenBGPD - OpenNTPD…

Whats your application? We have a pi up a mountain on a solar panel and it is doing ok.

Yeah that came to mind as well as this http://xkcd.com/602/ .

Not the chip in the article, but still a Cortex M0+ http://www.nxp.com/products/microcontrollers/cortex_m0_m0/lp... These are about £0.71 at single unit quantities and are very hob…

This is really cool, I find the microsoft documentation particularly terrible. I always had a chuckle when the first result for a simple C# concept and the result isn't a MSDN site…

Okay so the domain my site is run off gets 0 of 5 stars. I know my VPS provider has ipv6 support, so how do I close the gap?

You have described exactly what I use instapaper for. It is a crying shame that the instapaper search is nearly useless, but it means I can usually cut down my search set to my own…

Lastpass on the mobile app can be set up to require a password at all times. Mine locks as soon the Screen goes out of focus. With a password manager he can use it to trigger an au…

I too use windows 8.1 daily. I didn't mind windows 8 at all. It was only different when I turned the computer on, the rest of the time it was just slightly different windows 7. Wit…

It is a real shame, but OpenBSD as a project care a lot about having free access to all the available code[1]. It makes a lot of sense to me to want access to all of the code for s…
