alinspired··on A FrankenPad Story: T25 with Quad-Core CPU and UHD LCD Panel
weight and size aside, Thinkpad W530 is still a good choice:

  - 4 cores (Ivy Bridge), up to 32Gb (4 SO-DIMM slots)
  - decent full HD screen
  - nvidia GPU drives a single 4K monitor @60Hz via miniDP
alinspired··on We Lost Our Ability to Mend
mending (even attempting) is a great opportunity to learn how things work. there is no downside trying to dismantle anything that you consider broken,

    media.autoplay.enabled -> false

Looks a lot like OneNote, how this is different?

look into changing power supply, RPI is quite picky

alinspired··on One man designed and built the ultimate bush plane
watching his videos are eye opening, amazes me what can be done with modern technology and experience.

googling aside, are there resources on how to start with carbon fiber?

that certainly wasn't LED display

alinspired··on I amplified my home's Wi-Fi with aluminum foil
Thank you, arghwhat
alinspired··on I amplified my home's Wi-Fi with aluminum foil
This particular example of yagi for wifi - what's the logic to customize it for my router ?

In short, I'm looking for logic to repeat this for my router's dipole antenna and possibly with custom wires (not #14 or paperclips of unknown thickness mentioned there)

alinspired··on How I recovered cryptocurrency from a broken laptop
I've tried your test wallet and got an offset for file location - any hints on how to get the wallet's content, with dd i presume?

alinspired··on LineageOS for microG – Access Google services without closed software
>Only difference when comparing against LineageOS is that the OpenGApps package is "free".

Rather GApps (google) functionality is re-implemented from scratch and the necessary means (app signature spoofing) to replace GApps with microG is built into this LOS fork

alinspired··on LineageOS for microG – Access Google services without closed software
can't answer your question, but there is no official LineageOS for any Pixel (1st or 2nd gen). There are unofficial ones
alinspired··on Vagrant 2.0
Vagrant with KVM/libvirt works great on Linux and doesn't stop you from using docker. VirtualBox is inconvenience on Linux, not Vagrant
alinspired··on Optimizing web servers for high throughput and low latency
Great write up for traditional/kernel tuning! I guess i'm naively waiting for dpdk-based user space solutions to appear.

Try xrdp:

dnf install @"Cinnamon Desktop" cinnamon-session xrdp xorgxrdp

The only downside in Fedora 25 - software rendering in your X-RDP session

alinspired··on The Life, Death, and Legacy of iPhone Jailbreaking
Although it's an extra step, Magisk is there for rooted phones to hide root/custom roms.
alinspired··on Hacks Raise Fear Over N.S.A.’s Hold on Cyberweapons
i'd speculate that nsa might be working on some hardware solution to secure their tools, ie purpose built chips/compilers
alinspired··on Something is wrong when the ‘telephone app’ on your phone becomes 3rd party
This issue echoes many privacy-related discussions and the same approach for android applies here:

  - unlock
  - install minimal 3rd party ROM (ie LineageOS)
  - choose what you want from Google via Open Gapps or use F-droid
