Lots of noob chess players out there to beat!

Seafile + Samba + OpenVPN is my stack. I use Seafile for a dropbox style file sync on my devices, and Samba for direct access. OpenVPN for remote access on all devices. Works quite…

I didn't follow the whole session (only saw the memes about it on TikTok), but in the recent congressional hearing, was the TikTok CEO grilled on misinformation on his platform? I …

I recommend this method for self-hosting too. I have gigabit Internet and cloudflare proxying unlocks the ability to host locally without exposing my home IP. Plus all the advantag…

Gpt4all is a local desktop app with a Python API that can be trained on your documents: https://gpt4all.io/

There's a lot of bad websites too. I guess people should stop making them.

Seafile. Locally hosted Dropbox alternative which works well for my needs (300GB+ stored). Emby. Network media streaming. qBittorrent with the web server enabled. Downloading Linux…

I agree with the general sentiment of this & wish I had a better view. My office is currently in my basement (only practical place in our house for it). I probably spend around 60%…

While I didn't do this myself, I remember watching Kevin Rose do this on his internet show thebroken. He talks about getting an orinoco PCMCIA wifi adapter because of their broad s…

I know Minio can be used for production workloads, but Minio as a localhost substitute for an S3-like store is underrated. S3 dependent projects I work on spin up a Minio instance …

Yeah, let's get that weather app engineer working on NTFS privilege flaws.

"Near-path NAT"[1] has been suggested as a mechanism that browsers can use to proxy requests through an intermediate server, similar to what you suggest. [1] https://github.com/bsl…

Might as well get the software ready now for the RPi 5 and beyond.

Helps if you only have one platform you're developing on and deploying to (e.g. x86-64 Linux). If developing on macOS there can be Mac specific binaries installed, depending on the…

I'm thinking more of an Irradiance map where the value is the current W/m^2 at a specific location, which would take into account latitude and time of year (to get the angle of the…

Interesting that these maps are always binary: light or dark, when the intensity of light varies based on how high the sun is in the sky. Is there a version of this map that takes …

Normalizing has similar size benefits. For our use case (big aggregate reporting tables), incoming external data is not normalized, meaning we'd have to have another process iterat…

This is a common operation for my team as well. In my old project, so many indexes that were added were just assumptions about the usage pattern of the data. Not only did they blow…

One of my favourite things to do on Slashdot during its heyday was go through the comments and open all the "Homepage" links from user profiles. It was usually a treasure trove of …

UCI chess engines typically defer opening book to the GUI consuming it. So if you were using Stockfish with Arena or Tarrasch, that would handle the opening book. Stockfish will st…

Wouldn't the drive performance be significantly inhibited by RPi's USB 2.0 interface? A small board with SATA or USB 3.0 would be much faster.

I've had good success running OS X El Capitan on an i3 Intel Nuc. It's my main music composition platform, mostly for Logic Pro. It's a cheaper Mac Mini in that you can get one wit…

I remember checking out http://over-yonder.net/ after being linked from Slashdot circa 2006. I always have a soft spot for the "Homepage" link on Slashdot. I was impressed with his…

I think it just means they used a Linux laptop.

Do it, they're incentivizing you to bring up 8 VMs or 1 really big VM.
