Re:A key remapping daemon for Linux on Saturday June 13, 2026 @12:22AM (#48513109)
From what I can see in their readme, this is basically a key remapping utility without any of the advanced macro functionality that Input Remapper has.

For example, I can create a macro in Input Remapper that is bound to the F12 key and will press keys 1, 2, and 3 in order at a certain rate and repeat for as long as I hold down that F12 key.

This utility would just allow me to remap a key to another without that repeat or timing functionality.

It’s interesting that the KB that patches this on Windows 11 (KB5063878) is the same one that was tied up in all the Phison SSD drama.
Re:Enhancing your MIDI devices with Perl on Sunday February 02, 2025 @12:40AM (#42906244)
Perl is a great scripting language to stitch together high performance C binaries. Not to mention that CPAN and the built in debugger are awesome.

Write it in Perl to deploy quickly and replace pieces with optimized binaries as needed.

It’s still used for new projects in far more places than a lot of people might realize.

I watched their Just Say Yo video so much as a kid. It was so much fun.

Wonderful human being, Tommy was.

Re:High-level emulator for iPhone OS apps on Thursday November 02, 2023 @12:30AM (#38109010)
Definitely one of my all time favorites. I keep an iPad Mini 1st Gen around just for it. Sad that the sequel no longer works once their server went down.

Defender Chronicles, ChainRxn, Zombie Wars 2, etc.

Maybe even all the games I purchased before they were updated to include all the IAP’s.

I am so looking forward to the possibilities.

Looks like they finally updated the second status page to show the outage.
