phrasz··on Best Linux Laptop in 2020?
I jumped off a cliff for a cheap Black Friday HP-based Chromebook (i3 with 16GB of RAM)

For my day-to-day Linux needs it has been great. I get all my apps/streaming through the play store, and all major SW for Linux works for my coding (VS Code, GIMP, Android Studio).

The current downside: I can run vms on the box (but I likely could run Docker...maybe?), But there's SSH for that.

Mainly it's a drag that the mouse-lock feature hasn't been implemented. So I can't play Minecraft. XD

phrasz··on Best Linux Laptop in 2020?
It's your software needs that are really important.

What distro?

Do you need virtualization?

Are you looking to just have access to bash and unix-like tools?

Windows and Chromebooks fill most of my software needs for Linux... I push whatever else to a cloud, or switch to a more dedicated tower/rig for horsepower.

phrasz··on Weblite-Go – A simple webserver written in Go
It's not. It's extended from that.

However, that code won't deal with other things like changing the port, having a built-in index, or having the server run for a discrete amount​ of files to serve.

Also, go is no different than Java: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/jre/api/net/httpserver.... The server just allows it to be stand alone as an application.

I shared the link, since it was hosting webm based videos like a champ. I figured Fro wouldn't mind :)

The old solution we had been trying was weblite, and that needs all the user-content data to be manually added to weblite. Now I get to be lazy, cross platform, and have stand alone binaries ;)

phrasz··on FOSS Tools for C programming you cannot live without?
vi and/or vim elitists... I've always have used nano, but it seems that's not good enough for CentOS/RHEL guys.

phrasz··on Dringend – iOS and Mac development on your iPad
Also: "Dringend lets you build and run your application wherever you are in the world" should be starred: "Dringend lets you build and run your application wherever you are in the world * " * Network connectivity required.

I'm pretty sure a jerk would jump in a Faraday cage and cite how they couldn't use the app.

+ Developing on iOS directly.

- https://www.google.com/search?num=30&q=define+integrated+dev... ==> IDE usually means it is standalone. This project is a wrapper for remote Xcode.

Kudos on the work. I was TOTALLY misled thinking I could dev right on the device (see Terminal IDE on Android...). $10 for a remote wrapper is too rich for my blood.

phrasz··on The Case Against ISP Tolls
They should use classic Cable TV vs. Local Broadcasters tactics: Block all IPs from Comcast and force them to pay access to your content...which happens to be the exact amount they want for the Tolls.

If we consumers have to pay to access to content why shouldn't ISPs?

"...at the top of my browser." == "top of my Skype Window."

To avoid any confusion: they were NOT in my web browsers.
