Just waiting for the followup post on HN: How I sent CO2 warnings to my entire office using an ESP32

> I didn’t google that because the actual maximal size doesn’t matter since no single disk will have 281 Terabytes of space. You can buy 245TB SSDs right now and while not yet comm…

Curious, what was the project?

The playa flooded that year so we started late and were still working when the closure expired. A video of us working claiming that’s how we left it is disingenuous; otherwise what…

Yes, we clean up glitter, paint chips, oil stains, rust debris, etc.

> “and is writable with CAP_SYS_ADMIN” Am I reading this wrong or is this just a way of executing an arbitrary binary with uid=0 if you have both CAP_NET_ADMIN and CAP_SYS_ADMIN? I…

My tactic is walking around barefoot then having a "oh no" moment when I get to my tent and realize I have no plan to get the mud off my feet :)

I'm a volunteer, there are both volunteer and paid roles

Yeah, we definitely have a lot of great moments together, that's the biggest reason I come back. But otherwise, I imagine it's very different. We stay in the city and bus in each d…

We use tablets running custom software for everything

I’ve done this for a couple years now, cool to see it pop up here. I believe the scale is a touch larger; 3935 acres in 2025, plus a small amount outside the fence line. On the tec…

The analog version still exists, and gets hand updated every day (though we don’t upload photos). You can visit it the following year at the appropriately named camp, Moop Map.

Steam download rates are throttled based on how fast it can actually install the game so it’s a bit of an outlier

I think the intention is to measure the adapter itself independent from the CPU/overall system. Besides, I can’t think of a typical single threaded application that would use those…

Vimscript is extremely token efficient and very common in training data. Dunno about constraining to a window, but vimscript itself could be a good way of sending editing commands.…

Wow, this is so much easier than what i’ve been doing: :call system('kill -9 ' . getpid())

Wow, for once it isn't US-East-1

IMO this isn’t the job of the emulator. You can do this all in `tmux` for example. As for editing text, ghostty+tmux most definitely supports editing text with the mouse (even an i…

Specifying a CSPRNG as an entropy source to avoid collision is incorrect. CSPRNGs make prediction of the next number difficult (cracking-AES difficulty) but do not add entropy and …

Stealing this for error logging levels

Looks similar to the iOS/macOS photos app Might be neat for a service like Earthcam or Insecam, or packaged as an electron app to view folders of photos by EXIF location.

Is the full path guaranteed? For example homebrew, snap, and apt might put it all in different places. $PATH is a useful tool.

Alt-tabbing (or cmd-Q if you’re done) back to your terminal window after running `subl` to edit a file is equivalent difficulty (as measured by keystrokes) to exiting nano or vim.
