silasb··on Logitech K480 – Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard
That rotary knob looks awfully easy to break.

There has to be a better interface than physically moving your hand up to the knob to change which device has focus.

Also if this could also charge your devices that would be awesome also.

silasb··on The Guide to Not Buying a 3D Printer
Resin printers are interesting, because you take your DLP from your living room, hook it up to your LittleRP printer and then print out some high resolution items.

Easy cleanup, low noise, very little moving parts.

silasb··on SQLite: Small, Fast, Reliable – Choose any three
Using Adminer [1] and running it via `php -S localhost:8080 adminer.php` works beautifully. I also use Adminer to manage my Postgresql databases on my Mac.

silasb··on Show HN: GitHub-based DNS Hosting
I actually created something similar to this long ago (Jan 2013).

https://github.com/silasb/luvdns

That holds the Lua program to parse my domains [1] and also holds a Sinatra application that gets a post commit hook from GH and then it was as simple as updating the database that PowerDNS looked at. I don't think I ever ended up fully using it.

silasb··on Heroku Dynos Unable to Start
Makes zero sense to do an 2 hour update on a Monday at 10 AM PDT.

Horrible horrible timing. I'll likely be getting blamed for this since I recommended Heroku.

silasb··on Xiaomi launches 49-inch 4K TV for $640
What do you mean "without a bezel," do you just take it off?
silasb··on Enhancing the AVIC-5000NEX
What about a RTL-SDR?

My plan is to use that for my Car Computer when I get around to building it.

silasb··on Amazon’s Glacier secret: BDXL?
What method did you guys use to segment the data between the disks?
silasb··on WebFlow
That UI Kit is nice. Anyone know if it is open source or if there is something similar to it out there?
silasb··on ClearSkies – open-source file syncing without cloud
To make it easier to port to Android and IOS is my guess.
silasb··on Migrating from MongoDB to Cassandra

silasb··on How I found a Remote Code Execution bug affecting Facebook's servers
If he can do remote network calls couldn't he download a file, like netcat?
silasb··on M0n0wall 1.8.1 released
I remember the first time I installed m0n0wall on a p3 500Mhz in high school and being stunned how beautiful everything worked. Nowadays I mostly use PFSense or Vyatta.
silasb··on Simple git workflow is simple
This is exactly how I do my git stuff. The only thing that I don't like about this is that you need to force your push after you rebash with master as you have noted. Also what solution do you use when you are sharing your feature branch with other people (especially with 1-2 other programmers) while still rebasing off master?
silasb··on Rust 0.9 released
I want to thank you for a good introduction to rust and can't wait to read the 0.9 updated version.
silasb··on Ruby 2.1 Released
Installed fine for me.
silasb··on Show HN: Include this JS library to enable cross-origin requests

Google Apps Login integration is one.
silasb··on Lime – Experimental Sublime Text clone
If anyone gets some Mac binaries up I would love to give it a try.
silasb··on Introducing Private Networking
Apparently this isn't the case:

| The latency is actually the same whether you traverse the public or private network because either way it won't get routed out to the edge and back.

silasb··on Building our first app in Go
For simple stuff I've been doing `nohub ./go-binary &`
silasb··on Hacking Transcend WiFi SD Cards
The point is to have small device that would fit in a SD slot and AFAIK the Raspberry Pi can't be reduced that small.
silasb··on My RabbitMQ setup for notifications
I was wondering about this also. I'm not sure if there is an acknowledgement system built into RabbitMQ, but it sounds like that is what would be needed for this to happen.
silasb··on OVH launches 2.99€/mo dedicated servers (2G RAM, 500G disk)

  11 packets transmitted, 11 packets received, 0.0% packet loss

Columbus, Ohio
silasb··on More Git and GitHub Secrets
I have two aliases that I use all the time.

`gd`

and

`gdc`

I'm sure you can figure out what each of those means.

silasb··on Flynn - Open Source PaaS powered by Docker
Just read the FAQ and saw that Flynn is “Super Dokku”

Awesome job.

My setup is LimeChat -> Bitlbee -> GTalk.

silasb··on Getting Docker to run on Linode
I could probably do that. Do you just want an acknowledgement that Docker works with Chunkhost or something more detailed?
