we'll be integrating these into Notcurses soon!

great feedback; i shall check out Beej and see what's up. it was many years ago that i learned my basic UNIX work. networking algorithmics is a classic, and there's nothing else qu…

also dan kaminsky's and to a lesser degree dan knapp's. i was put on the spot as a sixteen year old Georgia Tech freshman acquiring his college of computing account, and between a …

not at all what i was trying to investigate, but thanks

i know nothing about them! thanks for bringing them to my attention.

thanks; this warmed my little hacker heart!

you might want to use different algorithms for automatic control than those exposed through the motherboard firmware, which are pretty much limited to either constant, manual setpo…

huh, i didn't know they could be connected like that! i only knew of the -12V as a source for RS-232. thank you for the tip; i'll investigate this (i assume you're correct, just wa…

yeah, if you look at the equations at the bottom, power goes up with the third power in relation to rpm. whippin' and drivin' that much air takes some oomph. connect that fan to an…

hey neat, i'm glad people enjoyed this (i'm the author)! this was all due to my inaMORAta project, part of my Counterforce project: https://nick-black.com/dankwiki/index.php?title=…

thank you; i take pride in my documentation =]. and it's a lot of work; one ought have fun in the places you can.

i am indeed a yellow jacket several times over. pa dank did not attend the university of alabama at tuscaloosa, nor any other institute of higher learning, but as anyone who knows …

The key is ending the device query string with DA1 aka "Primary Device Attributes", which literally every terminal i've managed to test with responds to. Guaranteed that one answer…

take a look at growlight: https://github.com/dankamongmen/growlight

why merely write programs with NCURSES when you can hack the planet with notcurses? enjoy the free book: https://nick-black.com/htp-notcurses.pdf

1) you can run from a regular console. if it's a linux framebuffer console and you're local, it'll even use the framebuffer to draw graphics. if you're on a pure VGA console, or ss…

for the case of 6, there are "sextants", which Notcurses uses for its "sexblitter". 3x2 pixels are mapped to a cell.
