splitbrain··on PiBakery – a blocks based, easy to use setup tool for Raspberry Pi
I like this but I wonder why it needs a download. This should be an as-a-service thing where I can customize my setup online, store it in local storage and then just download either the complete image or a small script that builds the image.
splitbrain··on Show HN: A minimalistic browser-based game to de-stress
Really nice implementation.

Small issue: the mute button doesn't work for me (Chrome on Linux)

splitbrain··on Show HN: A JavaScript Tool for Database Diagramming
hmm it seems their community edition has no autolayout mechanism. And OPs tool doesn't either. Anyone got some pointers how to add auto layout to jsPlumb community edition?
splitbrain··on TOTP SSH port fluxing
Looking at the video he seems to use the first 4 digits.
splitbrain··on Show HN: GitHub News, using a peak detection algorithm to detect trending repos
I'd love to have this as an RSS feed.
splitbrain··on Detexify: handwritten symbol recognition
http://shapecatcher.com/ does the same for unicode symbols.
splitbrain··on Paperwork: A Personal Document Manager for Scanned Documents
I built something like this myself using a Raspberry Pi: http://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2014-08/23-paper_backup_1_sca...
splitbrain··on Ditaa: DIagrams Through Ascii Art
There used to be ditaa.org which provided access to ditaa via a simple HTTP API. Unfortunately it seems to have vanished.
splitbrain··on Visual, multi-language XKCD-style password generator
Uhh. Why post it then? Where's the innovation here?
splitbrain··on Voynich Manuscript: word vectors and t-SNE visualization of some patterns
First time I hear about the cultural extinction theory. If that were the case, shouldn't there be more documents using the same script? But assuming the theory is right. Is there any way to decipher it without finding a Rosetta stone?
splitbrain··on Ghost in the machine: screen contents across reboots in a Macbook Pro Retina
Can confirm on my X240 running XUbuntu
splitbrain··on The Burning Man of Birding: Inside Iceland's Puffin Festival
We took a birdwatching tour in Iceland a few years ago. IIRC they told us that Puffins don't taste especially good and that really only the 2 to 3 year old ones are close to edible at all. Puffins were a poor men's food.
splitbrain··on Dillo: A Tiny Graphical Web Browser
And in my limited tries Netsurf is faster and much much better at displaying modern websites (not perfect of course).
splitbrain··on NetSurf: Small, fast, free web browser
Most sites I tried were somewhat broken. But to my surprise my own website worked just perfectly (sans javascript powered comments and ads of course). And blazingly fast!
splitbrain··on Alex King, an original Wordpress developer, has died
Damn. I never met Alex, but was subscribed to his blog for several years. This makes me genuinely sad.

fuck cancer.

splitbrain··on Apache NiFi
That was my first reaction, too. It seems to at least have borrowed the design patterns from it.
splitbrain··on KeyChair: Extract RSA private keys out of .keychain files
I see. Makes sense. Thank you.
splitbrain··on KeyChair: Extract RSA private keys out of .keychain files
Hmm a bit more info in the readme would be helpful. My .keychain directory only contains shell snippets that set environment variables to my SSH agent.

Where's the vulnerability? In ssh-agent? Or are we talking about a completely different keychain tool here?

splitbrain··on Tig: text-mode interface for Git
See http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/screenshots/
splitbrain··on Every 30 minutes Windows 10 sends all typed text to Microsoft
However this will turn out (for now it looks like the source not very trustworthy) I wonder if there's a small little tool you can install on a fresh Windows 10 that will let you disable all the various privacy related setting in one screen. Just a list of checkboxes with short descriptions of the setting and what feature you will lose when disabling it.
splitbrain··on Inside the Goth Chicken: Black Bones, Black Muscle and a Black Heart
That was exactly my thought through the whole article. Also do the eggs look black, too?
splitbrain··on Show HN: A pastebin with line comment support
I wanted the line commenting feature of Github pull requests in a simple pastebin. But I couldn't find one with that feature. So I built my own.
splitbrain··on A Tiny NTP client
Simple alternative to quickly set the current time: use the date header of any webserver:

    date -s "`curl -I http://www.kernel.org |grep 'Date:'|awk -F': ' '{print $2}'`"
splitbrain··on Why We Shut Down Reddit’s ‘Ask Me Anything’ Forum
Does anyone know why she was fired? Few things get you fired immediately, so I guess it's something quite bad. As much as I agree with the IamA moderators about shitty decisions at Reddit, their owners might deserve credit for not disclosing whatever Victoria did to get fired.
splitbrain··on Web Decay Graph
A commenter raises an interesting question:

"How did you detect "decay"? Just based on HTTP codes, or by actually looking at the linked content? On my own blog, I found more often than I like that old links still "work" per HTTP, but now refer to something rather different from the content that I originally intended to refer to."

What would be some good way to detect such spam sites in an automated way? Looking for the link's title in the remote HTML? Check for common domain placeholder page contents and spam words? Maybe Google has some API one could use?

splitbrain··on Dozens of new craters suspected in northern Russia
I wonder how much gas is released in these events and the implications on global warming.
splitbrain··on Commits.io – Create a poster from your code
you need to click "customize" and add a logo or other graphic

splitbrain··on Icecomm – Add Serverless Video Chat and Data Transfer to Your Site
The HTTPS version shows just a withe page. I had to disable my SSL enforcer for the domain to see anything.
