    I have an older laptop with a 32-bit processor and found that TinyCoreLinux runs well on it. It has its own package manager that was easy to learn. This distro can be handy in thes…

    Reminds me of an old calculator trick: Pick an integer between 1 and 9. Multiple it by 9. Take that number and multiply it by 12345679. (Skip the 8) >>> 3 * 9 27 >>> 12345679 * 27 …

    Neat to see this done by hand! It helps demystify the magic behind git commands. If you like this, I also recommend "Write Yourself a Git", where you build a minimal git implementa…

    I'm also curious if this functionality is possible to achieve through browser configuration. Alternatively, a browser extension could potentially provide a helpful solution. I susp…

    I enjoyed participating in Octojam (the CHIP-8 game jam) in previous years and sad to see it come to an end. Working with CHIP-8 inspired me to a CHIP-8 emulator which was a great …

    Chisel is a handy red-team tool. I learned about it training for the OSCP (Offsec Certified Professional). It comes in handy under certain situations. Another tool I recommend is L…

    I was looking for a lightweight OS to run on old Asus Eee PC 1005 HA, which uses a 32-bit Intel Atom N270 processor. I installed Void Linux ( https://voidlinux.org/ ). I may give D…

    Love it! I like seeing Pac-man put into strange scenarios. I made a slightly similar (1.5d?) game for the CHIP-8. Pacman can only go left and right, but the ghosts fall from the sk…

    This was a lot of fun. Thanks for making and sharing. The "find" command would be very helpful for the last step (to get the passcode). I found that you can do "ls 0/0/0/0 0/0/0/1 …
