celloveron Citizenfour HD

Agreed! I uploaded the movie on my own server with a very short post to explain what it's all about. Download should be quite fast depending on your location.

celloveron Citizenfour HD

Downloads are so slow that I decided to host it on my own server, no bandwidth limit, should be faster. Enjoy!

celloveron 85 Years After Pluto’s Discovery, New Horizons Spots Small Moons Orbiting Pluto

Very interesting! I also highly recommend the following video just published by Silicon Valley Astronomy Lectures:

celloveron Show HN: Let's Chat, a self-hosted chat app for small teams

Indeed very interesting open-source application! I agree IRC integration would be really nice, it's one of my favourite features on Slack, allowing me to communicate with my team mates without changing context when i'm inside a server context.

I wrote a simple how-to to do it for Slack and would be delighted to contribute on this feature for Let's chat!

celloveron CVE-2015-0235 – GHOST: glibc gethostbyname buffer overflow

You know you can also read the source code right? Even if you are not proficient with c you can understand what it's doing.

celloveron Why I Stopped Watching the News

I was reading earlier about the wikipedia page for "The Society of Spectacle" and this might be relevant here:

> The Society of the Spectacle is a critique of contemporary consumer culture and commodity fetishism. Before the term "globalization" was popularized, Debord was arguing about issues such as class alienation, cultural homogenization, and the mass media.

Also:

> "The spectacle is not a collection of images," Debord writes, "rather, it is a social relationship between people that is mediated by images."

Spread the word if you manage an nginx server:

Alternatively, more and more sysadmins have added custom headers to their web servers:

celloveron The Hello Machine (1974) [video]

This is so cool and graceful in a way. Love those analog synths and banjos altogether.

I'd really like to know what every piece is used for, and what kind of "processing power" this beast had.

Sure! Here it is:

celloveron Two Simple Steps Helped Me Learn Vim

Interesting post!

I found another way to improve my vim skills and memory was to simply write a wiki page with all the shortcuts / key strokes I learned or used. It has a big benefit for me of anchoring things in my memory.

Always having it open when in vim, referring to it often, adding things, moving things, reorganizing categories was a huge benefit for me.

Here is a screenshot of my wiki page index:

Also, having ones' dotfiles synced on github can be highly beneficial as your vim env / plugins will be consistent between desktop / laptop / office / friends' place.

celloveron Travis CI: From Open to Minimum Vacation Policy

I really like the tone of this post. It makes me think that this person is trustworthy and I'd be glad to work for him.

I wish my company had such an open communication!

celloveron The Question Mark

I got shivers by reading "I found my voice, and I found my heart."

I don't know why this resonates that much in me, I just feel so deeply touched by this phrase. And feel honestly happy for you.

Thank you, beautiful read. And 'Welcome' :)

celloveron The Saddest Thing I Know about the Integers

Posted today by Paul Barton, a video that lets hear piano sounds never heard before.

Like the moon that eclipses the sun, revealing solar flares, this mechanism helps hearing what's hiding behind the main notes hit.

Skip to 3'58'' to hear only harmonics sounding after dampening manually a C3.

Skip to 7'17'' for a demonstration of the sympathetic sounds.

celloveron Fifty years of Moog

Moog having the best sounding bass is absolutely subjective. You can't sum up dozens of analog synthesizers brands by one sentence like this. Some prefer DSI, some prefer Vermona and so on.

Also it's a question of generation. Today's Moog synths sound a little different to the older generations, generally are more precise, cripy compared to warm vintage tones.

Two things concerning Moog:

* It is pronounced /ˈmoʊɡ/ mohg.

* They did monophonic synths only besides the Polymoog.

celloveron Show HN: Hypermasher – Live streaming of Hyperlapse videos

Great idea, I love it!

It could be interesting to try fade to black when a track is finished, cut clips on a beat or similar, but I wonder if you can since the sound is played in an iframe.

celloveron Falling in Love with the Dark

Here are good resources to find dark areas:

darksitefinder.com/maps.html (world coverage but not really detailed)

http://avex-asso.org/dossiers/pl/france/zoom/cdf-normale.htm... (France only, very detailed)

celloveron Falling in Love with the Dark

Hubert Reeves sums it up really well:

"The first effect, and I would say the most dramatic, is that it steals the sky. People no longer see the sky. There are many people out there who have never seen the Milky Way, who have never seen zodiacal light. Sometimes I ask people, "Do you know what zodiacal light is?" Three-quarters of them do not know, they have never even heard the word. It's part of something that held great significance in the past. It's contact with the sky. It's that feeling you get when you go outside on a beautiful starry night, Milky Way and all. That contact was present throughout humanity until only a few decades ago."

We greatly underestimate the fundamental and mystical implications of these changes on the inhabitants of this planet.

celloveron What I use instead of Google services

Very interesting resource, thanks for posting ; even if not for the playbook itself, the collection of tools is interesting.

Having your own server is definetely a good solution, it just needs experience and comes at a certain price, even if it stays reasonnable. But most people just don't want to be bothered with maintaining the box (hosting payment, security updates, domain name renewal, SSL ceritificate renewal and so on).

However, it is a fantastic way of learning by yourself!

celloveron Show HN: Self-hosted project management application

I just deactivated the demo. Hope everyone had time to test the app!

celloveron Show HN: Self-hosted project management application

I just logged in so password is working fine right now.

It seems the DNS slave was not up to date so you have 50% chance of having no DNS resolution. It appears to be resolved now as I can curl the page from my home server.

celloveron Show HN: Self-hosted project management application

It seems some people are having difficulties accessing the subdomain, which I just created. It works from work for me, but not from my home server.

I'll try to sort this out ASAP.

celloveron Show HN: Self-hosted project management application

I had no problem connecting. Did you disable javascript?

I'll keep it up for 1 or 2 days.

celloveron Show HN: Self-hosted project management application

Interesting project!

I'm currently working on a green field project with a very small team on my free time, so I installed 92five on my server and will be testing it "as if in production".

I will add any issues I encounter on their Github - https://github.com/chintanbanugaria/92five

celloveron Hack Back – A DIY guide to those without the patience to wait for whistleblowers

Very interesting read. Amazing to see where information gathering and simple hacking techniques can lead you...

celloveron The day I decided to be a Superhero

The idea was to say "burn more calories than you ingest", but that was poorly said indeed. It is now corrected, thanks for pointing this out!
