Linode has similar pricing? The location overlap is different though. This one seems to have a larger presence in Europe. https://www.linode.com/pricing Linode 1GB $5/mo ($.0075/hr…

FYI, some MyCloud devices can be modified to just run Debian. I treat my MyCloud as a cheap Linux box with lots of storage in a convenient form factor. If it weren't for that, I'd …

Whoa, I've never heard of WireGuard. Looks like a huge performance boost over OpenVPN. I currently use OpenVPN in bridge mode between all my OpenWRT routers.

Could it be that most hardware vendors feel that their value-add is in software? Or they feel offering something like OpenWRT would cannibalize sales of their higher end offerings …

Real estate seems to be a common theme amongst people generating wealth.

And server overloaded. Images are crawling in on gigabit! So I just see mostly white when I scroll.

If you are up for it, learn a little about designing. Read some design docs and stylesheets. Google, Apple, Microsoft all have good ones. By learning, you may be able to go a littl…

Chrome on mobile doesn't have extensions. :) I still use Chrome on desktop.

The day I got a you-have-a-virus-call-us popup on Chrome on my phone was the day I switched over to Firefox with ublock. I wasn't even visiting a sketchy site.

Seeing so many timeless logos from the 60s and 70s make it look like that era was the golden age for logo design. OTOH, that might just be survivorship bias.

Does this mean Google might readd Qi to their phones? They took it out a couple years ago saying that usb-c would be more convenient due to it being doublesided and fast charging.

Makes me wonder: if the Roku was released today, how successful would it be? Seems like they have a huge first mover advantage in that people know it. But now there are lots of big…

Roku apps feel pretty clunky/jerky compared to Chromecast and Apple TV. Feels like a product built in the 2000s.

How much do you care? How much do they care? I go to lots of people's houses and they openly give me the wifi password to their network. That said, having security is good. And bui…

Any support for RDS? :)

Would they be a viable business after 5 years in the event they don't get bought? If not, are they banking on the IP being worth something?

I like to think that I am interviewing the person and not the company. And the person defines the engineer and not the company they work for. I try to treat everyone the same, if n…

I use a Mac. And I also use this when I'm using Windows. I try to use both so I stay up to speed on the latest developments of both platforms. WSL leveled the playing field for me.…

Or a money burning machine if the algorithm sucks. :)

Check out the dlink shop on ebay! :) http://www.ebay.com/itm/D-Link-DIR-505L-SharePort-Mobile-Com...

I use a DIR-505L. It's a wallwart and runs OpenWRT. 2.4Ghz only, but isn't too expensive (~$15). Has USB/ethernet if you want more. Really convenient and kind of looks like a phone…

0 indexed! :)

FireFox on Android lets you disable autoplay on videos. This is why I switched from Chrome on mobile. Videos always seem to want to autoplay when I'm in a public place. Plus FireFo…
