    I saw this video [0] from the creator of this project the other day. Here he shows how to connect a USB joystick with a playstation access controller [1] by mapping from USB to 3.5…

    (This was not in the US) I would say the people are free to leave but the car stays until they pay and that this is part of how every parking business operates. Otherwise, why pay?…

    Anyone here who can answer this as well in the context of local work on a Mac? I manually use tmux when sshing into servers but usually that’s one session split in two and that’s i…

    I would like to archive every web page I ever visit. Something like this sounds very useful but it would need to be updated periodically. I’m thinking a hybrid approach could make …

    Just the other day I was setting up Jellyfin and tailscale on an n100. It worked fine locally but sharing via tailscale with a family member across the world somehow broke things. …
