robertely··on Bootable NASA 'SPOC' Software on Your PC
I just found the SPoC readme in the boot image. Aparnetly some people are having trouble with ALT as the CODE key, I'm looking for ways to change it.

For now this is a fascinating document: https://github.com/robertely/SPOC-VirtualBox/blob/master/REA...

For speed try increasing the cpu execution cap here: https://github.com/robertely/SPOC-VirtualBox/blob/master/SPO... (out of 100) incromentally till you have a reasonable speed.

Sadly I can't explain the alt problem. I suppose I could rebind that to something like the space bar and upload a modified floppy image. I will poke at that later.

Try mine: https://github.com/robertely/SPOC-VirtualBox

It's basically a stock VM with very low memory,minimal peripherals, and a CPU priority of 1% (even at 1% it's blazingly fast compared to the 80s)

robertely··on Ask HN: Is it possible to run your own mail server for personal use?
That's why you soft bounce. It tells the sender that you can't receive the email _at this time_.
robertely··on Booting Linux in One Second [pdf]
Has nothing to do with intelligence. This is just a different knowledge domain, and there is shockingly little overlap with a traditional CS education.
robertely··on Guix-tox, a functional version of tox
I try to take it easy on them. They had some pretty serious setbacks and drama(https://blog.tox.chat/2015/07/current-situation-3/).

They really are getting back on track this month with irungentoo working full time.

robertely··on Netflix Switch – dim lights, turn on the TV, order food, and silence your phone
This is great and I love it but If the Raspberry Pi had a netflix client this would be amazing.

robertely··on Add a dirt-cheap screen to the Raspberry Pi B+
So, these are almost all crappy clones of this: http://www.adafruit.com/products/1601 It's fine for static images and low quality video, but its using the SPI bus and a custom driver. This severely limits size of the display and/or refresh rate.
robertely··on Add a dirt-cheap screen to the Raspberry Pi B+
[Author] The premium was mostly Adafruit markup and convenience. I'm totally not mad at the price, I received parts next day. If I really wanted to save money I would design an adapter board, and order bulk screens from China.

Keep in mind this is prototype cost, typically inflated seriously because it's a one off.

robertely··on GitHub announces 3D File Diffs
Probably that many previously, but this has been a long requested feature of the hobby 3d community.

If you build it they will come sort of thing.
