Re:Ask HN: Which wireless router do you use at home? on Sunday July 16, 2017 @07:30AM (#14781561)
How did you set it up specifically, what ubuntu packages are needed on the pc? Can you point to a resource where I can go from, I have a pc with two network cards an incoming line and a switch. To working DHCP, port forwarding and a firewall for the things connected to the switch?
Anyone know if this will allow GPU-passthrough of the Nvidia GPU? It seems to have most of the requirments
Re:Ask HN: Most hacker friendly laptop on the market? on Sunday July 19, 2015 @01:49PM (#9912066)
I had the predecessor, the xps 12 inch, I was very happy with it. The touchscreen was unessasary, but it actually works in Debian. The xps line in general is a good mix of Linux compatible hardware, processor/memory options, price and surprisingly solid build quality.

My main complaint and why I have a macbook air now (even though it is inferior in most respects, I pay for a osx but never booted it) is that I ride alot of trains and the power connector on the Dell landed the machine on the ground a few times when people tripped on my wire. It uses the normal metal tube into hole design. The laptop still works, but it makes me wonder why dell never made a magnetic power connector. My mobile phone has one and it's a Sony/Ericsson.

Can you expand on where I might find details on LT in intellij?

ctrl-shift-e should open a canvas like area where you can group tabs. Similar to a file folder, I prefer it to bookmarks

Do you have a link for the python version?

I actually really like this, thank you!

Some feedback to the author,

I deployed it on apache with a .htaccess limited to my domain to limit security issues. Pretty trivial. Perhaps you could expand your documentation on this note. Just include a few lines on how to stick a file in the root folder with something like this

RewriteEngine on Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from IP or partial IP Allow from domain

Also make sure the overall apache config has a directory tag with allowoverride all. Debain defaults to allowing none.

The most important widgets for me are general info, load average, ram, disk usage (actually, I would mostly like a widget that highlights when a disk is below 90% free space, so maybe that is a new widget) and processes. I changed it so these are sorted at the top by default, also I changed the sorting when clicking on cpu/memory etc to display the highest values instead of the reverse which is the default. I dont know how much of this is something you would like to implement, and all of it is trivial, but if you want my changes reach out.

No. The U.S. never imported cheap labour and treated thouse people in ways deemed illegal in parts of its competition at the time.
Re:Blizzard is secretly watermarking WOW screenshots on Tuesday September 11, 2012 @02:01PM (#4506844)
One reason nefarious people would use this is to gain verified account name information. Get enough of those and there are bound to be some passwords that are easily brute forced.

Furthermore as the article states blizzard could use this to track private servers.

Leaflet, but really, if you want to do anything moderatly complex you would save alot of time by getting to grips with openlayers from the start
Re:Ghost.py - a webkit web client written in python. on Monday June 18, 2012 @04:10AM (#4125513)
This is a wrapper around PYQT which is a wrapper around webkit in QT. So if those things are supported in QT and PYQT there is hope.
