splitbrain··on ESP8266 ePaper WiFi Display Kit Runs for Months on a Charge
yeah, I wish there was an easy DIY way to program those
splitbrain··on Brave expands Basic Attention Token platform to YouTube
Isn't this basically the same as flattr?
splitbrain··on GitHub Discover
pretty cool suggestions, even though it suggests one of my own projects.
splitbrain··on Show HN: BillBuddy – Automated Invoice Processing
Does anyone know of an open source tool that reliable extracts data from PDF invoices? Preferably using OCR because some of my invoices are scanned.
splitbrain··on The License Zero Manifesto
How exactly is "commercial" defined?
splitbrain··on Apple Special Event (Sept 2017)
> Requirements: Live streaming uses Apple’s HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) technology. HLS requires an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with Safari on iOS 7.0 or later, a Mac with Safari 6.0.5 or later on OS X v10.8.5 or later, or a PC with Microsoft Edge on Windows 10.

So this event is only intended for people who already are Apple customers? MS Edge as the only other way seems very weird.

How common is this HLS thing, what would be the more open alternative and what advantages do they believe HLS has over it?

splitbrain··on Bitcoin Fork Monitor
thanks for the clarification. much appreciated!
splitbrain··on Bitcoin Fork Monitor
I'm holding them in a wallet.dat file of the original bitcoin (full node) client that I haven't started in maybe a year or more. More or less a completely offline stash.
splitbrain··on Bitcoin Fork Monitor
So, as long as I hold on to the bitcoins I bought before all this madness started I should be safe? Like when in a few years some fork is the declared winner, I can still just sell my bitcoins on that winner network? (assuming bitcoins will be worth anything after those shenanigans).
splitbrain··on Ask HN: Why is Bluetooth so unreliable?
that's not how NFC works.
splitbrain··on Show HN: GreenPiThumb – A Raspberry Pi Gardening Bot
$40 is quite steep compared to the rest of components usually used in such a project.
splitbrain··on Show HN: GreenPiThumb – A Raspberry Pi Gardening Bot
I recently build something similar for my balcony. But instead of a $30 raspberry I used a $9 NodeMCU: https://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2017-06/10-automated_plant_w...

Also just took me a few evenings instead of months.

splitbrain··on A Constructive Look at TempleOS (2015)
Interesting. A bit off topic but I wonder what he's living off. He doesn't seem to have a regular job?
splitbrain··on Show HN: OS – GitHub issues to help beginners make their first pull request
I saw something, but the filters didn't work. Tried a reload, now it's 500.
splitbrain··on Show HN: An HTML/CSS/JS toggle switch with happy and sad emojis
Yes, I would.
splitbrain··on Monkey Island (or, How Ron Gilbert Made an Adventure Game That Didn’t Suck)
I absolutely loved the monkey wrench puzzle/pun in MI2. I found that the game always gave you hints when you were stuck. IIRC when looking at the hypnotized monkey, Guybrush would say something like "this monkey is so stiff you could loosen a screw with it" (I don't remember the exact words).
splitbrain··on Introducing Google Cloud Container Builder
Could I use this to build images and push them to Docker Hub? The auto build feature at Docker Hub is awfully slow and often fails. Could this be a good alternative or am I missing the point of what this is?
splitbrain··on New GitHub Terms of Service Are in Effect
INAL. they improved the wording. it basically is as we always assumed it is. it's just more clear now. nothing to panic about
splitbrain··on Show HN: fman – file manager for programmers
Hmm the linux download gives me a .deb file only. I know I could try to extract the binary from it... but I'm too lazy. (ArchLinux user)
splitbrain··on Ask HN: What are some poorly written but very successful open source software?
vTiger CRM. The worst code I have ever seen but still used by lots of businesses.
splitbrain··on Looking for Work After 25 Years of Octave
That's a nice idea. But Open Source authors have lives too. Friends, Family, etc. as much as I'd like to live rent free, I wouldn't want to move into a "camp" for Open Source authors.
splitbrain··on TiddlyWiki: a local, single-page wiki
thanks for spreading the love :)
splitbrain··on Show HN: Zazu App – An OSS app launcher, similar to Alfred
Building it on Arch Linux failed because npm run release expects dpkg-deb to be available.
splitbrain··on My fight against CDN libraries
It's awesome that nearly 10 years after I came up with MonsterID, it's still going strong. I love those cats.
splitbrain··on Show HN: World class unlimited email hosting for all your domains from $4/month
For everyone else wondering what the catch is: the number of outgoing mails is limited (100/day for the $4 tier).
splitbrain··on Trigger Happy: An opensource clone of IFTTT
This. IFTTT is much too simplistic for anything useful. Sure I can let it save all Gmail attachments to Google Drive. But if I want to do that for only certain attachments I'm out of luck.
splitbrain··on Fossil: A decentralized version control, bug tracking, and wiki software
What is GitLuBucket? Google thinks you meant BitBucket, but it seems to be a very weird typo.
splitbrain··on Ask HN: How does your team do internal documentation?
DokuWiki. We have an internal wiki and we have a wiki farm to easily set up project wikis (great for collaboration with the customer on specifications etc.)-
splitbrain··on Alternative Courtship: Matrimonial Advertisements in the 19th Century
Ah that makes sense! Thank you.
splitbrain··on Alternative Courtship: Matrimonial Advertisements in the 19th Century
Can someone explain what "exchange of miniatures" means in this context?
