    Bless you. Which is even more surprising on 'hacker' news. Maybe the average (US-centric) 'hacker' nowadays is just a corporate worker dreaming. I recently joined a megacorp after …

    I didn't know there's different kinds of bricking. It does NOT sound like having root access. This big warning is on the front page: > Warning: Toltec does not support OS builds ne…

    My garden is full of birds. The neighbour forgot to trim his huge tree one year and it was full of bird nests. Birds are left with no place to live near / in cities if there's so l…
