mydnite··on Once the disease of gluttonous aristocrats, gout is now tormenting the masses
what a terrible and uninformative article.
mydnite··on The Hash Monster: ESP-32 Tamagotchi for WiFi Cracking
And have no children to ask you what the wifi password is.
mydnite··on Nexus 7 tablet is $50 more in Australia then the US
That's a bit confusing for people in the US.

Oh well.

mydnite··on Why the Juju Charm Store Will Change the Way You Use Ubuntu Server
This bloody rocks with devil's horns.

Seriously, just the other day I had to install package A from source but first I had to install repo B to download it and install language X to install it as that was what the build script used. The guys who I manage are probably sick of me threatening to write something exactly like juju.

I'm going to investigate juju further but if juju can determine the path of least build dependencies that would also be great i.e. if there are two build scripts, one bash and the other language X, it chooses bash as you do not have language X installed.

It would also help if each project offered a link to a tar of their latest stable version so wget could be used instead of repo B.

I like using the systems tools first before installing other tools.

mydnite··on Always a starter, never a finisher.
I think that your job sounds like a prototyper, which to say that your mandate is to develop to a level where others can rebuild it with a point of reference. Hence you're a starter and a finisher.

I have had a similar position.

mydnite··on Tribler Makes BitTorrent Impossible to Shut Down
Not everyone wants to seed all the time so splitting up the program into a BT core and BT file manager might be an idea.

The BT core program looks after the online user and search data, sharing this with other clients. This could be always on.

While the BT file manager looks after seeding / leeching through the BT core program. This allows you to participate in the group acting as a super peer and having up to date search data while not having to have a full blown BT client running.

mydnite··on Hollywood fights Internet protests with... TV ad, billboard, radio spot
If ever a billboard needed some C 'n' B work done to it it is these billboards.

Arise the gorilla C 'n' B army of the new millennium.

But seriously it just makes me want to get into politics just to kick these fuckers out and I'm not even a yank, I'm Australian, so I couldn't directly help the people in the US.
