sdwisely··on Appleseed – open-source physically-based rendering engine
It's still desirable enough that it's getting commercial plugins (cycles4d).
sdwisely··on UnblockOz: Helps Australians reclaim their unfiltered Internet access
TPG: 202.136.99.184

kinda funny I had to go out of my way to see it.

sdwisely··on Ask HN: If you use keybase.io regularly, for what do you primarily use it?
I send messages like this sometimes, it's a handy way to send an encrypted message every now and then and also doubles up well as a "if you're using your PC with someone else, or have it hooked up to the TV in your lounge room you might want to look at this later" notice.
sdwisely··on Microsoft’s IFTTT alternative is now open to everyone
Yeah, I looked at it recently and it seemed very narrow in scope atm.

I'm finding IFTTT and Integromat together covers most things, I'd love a good selfhosted option though.

sdwisely··on CoreDNS: DNS service discovery for the cloud
I don't know why they don't mention this on the site, but this has been merged back in as a module for Caddy (available at download time).
sdwisely··on Nissan Motor Company has announced a new type of gasoline engine
that actually sounded like such a low tech solution that I wasn't sure if it was some kind of joke that was going over my head.

Thanks for sharing, that's actually really fascinating.

sdwisely··on John Oliver buys $15M in debt and forgives all of it on 'Last Week Tonight'
that one works, thanks!
sdwisely··on Source code for 4kb demoscene production “Elevated” released
This is brilliant, I use shadertoy a bit to quickly test out where I've gone wrong in my fragment shaders (which is usually the whole thing).

This actually seems like it'll be much better for the job.

I'd love to see ISF export added too: https://www.interactiveshaderformat.com/spec

sdwisely··on Vvvv – a live-programming environment for easy prototyping and development
also worth mentioning:

http://vuo.org - intended as a replacement to quartz composer and cross platform later on.

http://www.bigfug.com/software/fugio/ - cross platform and came out this week.

"Fugio is an open visual programming application with support for Oculus Rift, timeline based media playback, OpenGL, OSC, MIDI, Arduino, and much more!"

sdwisely··on Uber users with low phone batteries more likely to accept surge pricing
EFT used to go down at the store I worked at weekly midnight Monday morning for maintenance for a few hours.

Processing them manually was the only option.

sdwisely··on Blisk – a browser for web developers
"Hands Off!" is also worth a look too. Fairly comparable to to Little Snitch but can also does file access.
sdwisely··on Show HN: LuxBase – Open-Source Smart Lighting Control System
rather than using addressable LED strips I've been using some RGBW LED Par Cans over DMX.

I use a raspberry pi running openlighting to act as bridge between artnet, osc and a few other protocols and control it over the network.

sdwisely··on Never trust the client
I remember it unfortunately being timed around the same time an exploit string would cause one of the AV packages to drop connections.

Made gaming IRC channels utter chaos for weeks.

sdwisely··on Mosh: the mobile shell
actually the site/documentation hasn't been updated but it's now free for 100 devices (with a price increase beyond).

from an email earlier this week:

"For new subscribers we've increased the price to $29.00/month (USD), but we've also increased the maximum number of devices for free accounts to 100.

We think this better reflects the difference between personal and business users, providing plenty of devices in our free version and charging enough for our business customers to justify adding new features and services and to support the continued development of the entire ZeroTier ecosystem."

sdwisely··on Domino's: Pizza and Payments
