    Knots 3D is also on iOS. It's great and I have used to help teach knots to Scouts quite a few times.

    I haven't used it in years, but when I was first using Linux I used Gentoo for a long time. Building Gentoo from scratch really helped me learn a lot and probably more quickly than…

    Another parent in my kid's Cub Scout pack told me about this a few years ago. It's been really cool to use on camping trips, and lately I've been using it while walking the dog. Th…

    It think it's been changed, but I believe the Transformers wiki on Fandom started out as a copy of the superior [TFWiki]( https://tfwiki.net ). TFWiki has been referenced by many o…

    their previous April Fools joke ( https://www.netgate.com/blog/building-a-behemoth-router ) actually said "Happy April Fool's Day" at the end. This doesn't. It's a poor attempt at …

    I read almost all of the Lord of the Rings trilogy on a Windows Mobile phone in the 2000s. They were a great tool for the time, and I much preferred them to the Blackberrys that we…

    Correct, but also with 1, there is a way to embed chapters into a mp3 file that's a part of the ID3 standard. We use Forecast ( https://overcast.fm/forecast ) to do it. I've found …

    Compared to other Audiogram tools I've used, this is really easy. Processing time is a bit long, but I did test it with a 2 hour podcast. I have a couple feature suggestions that I…

    That's funny, I worked for a school district about 10 years ago and our IT director was also the transportation director. He knew nothing about IT but I guess they had to give the …

    the Windows ESXi client has been EOL for a while now and is not supported by current versions. It's all managed through the web or the esxcli commands now.
