The first thing I looked for was to see if the toasters would roll, eject toast, flap faster, etc. I guess I'll have to fork it to add those features!

I’m liking Firefox bookmarks for this lately. Syncs between Firefox apps on different platforms, relatively easy to search, extensible, etc.

WordPress has a bookmarklet called “Press This” which sounds very similar: https://wordpress.com/support/press-this/

I like Inside Security: https://inside.com/security
Plenty of links on the latest threats, botnets, malware, etc. Variety of technical and less-technical pieces.

I’m using an old Asus netbook as a home server. I installed Xubuntu and now I use it as a Docker host for Plex, a torrent server, and other projects. It works surprisingly well!

+1 for Mastodon. It's pleasantly weird and small. I very much enjoy the instance(s) I'm on. Check out joinmastodon.org to find one that suits your interests and needs!

I really wanted a t-shirt that said "Ladies Love Cool JPEGs" so I made it, and made a quick website to sell them. Here's the website in case you also like 90s hip hop references mixed with image formats: https://ladieslove.cool/

well, if you'd like to simulate more sun in your locale, you could pick a city closer to the equator in your timezone.

Well, I suppose you could use the Web MIDI API: http://webaudio.github.io/web-midi-api/
Although if you need to route it to an external (non-browser) output, you might consider using OSC. There appear to be multiple implementations, but here's one: https://github.com/marmorkuchen-net/osc-js

I'm still reading above the level I currently understand when talking about FPGAs and chips and such… but how does Bunnie's Novena[1] factor in to all this?

Re:Ask HN: Do you take nootropics?
on Monday March 23, 2015 @01:48PM (#9252266)
Personally, I'm curious about other supplements that can improve my caffeine usage… e.g. prolonging effect, adrenal precursors, etc.
Seems like this is the type of thing that might be possible once the "fully native watch app" sdk is released.
Personally, I really enjoy the automatic sleep/activity tracking that my Pebble provides (via Misfit app)
Besides that, I mainly use it for "watch" stuff.
That said, it is really nice to be able to get notifications without taking my phone out in certain contexts—bicycling, walking, in a pool, phone charging in other room, etc.

FWIW, I tested this a bit with a friend, and it only shows that you've read the message if you're signed in to FB chat. I always stay offline and the sender was not able to see the read-receipt.
