An intro (feel free to jump to the next section) I always wanted to have a little domestic server for simple stuff that can be useful. In particular I wanted something similar and a bit more powerful than a Raspberry PI, that’s why my research brought me to this Chinese manufacturer called AcePC (https://www.iacepc.com/) - I know their website it’s not promising but their computers are actually good and low cost. … »
I’m going to write a post about something that I’m sure you already heard before, but it helped me to approach new problems and projects. Like some kind of mantra, when it feels like too much work to do, I repeat to myself: “one small thing at a time”. Do not overthink about the big picture from the beginning. Start working on one thing, and allocate time to refactor things during development, not before nor after. … »
Presenting: https://github.com/Pitasi/dyn-wallpaper It's not a revolution, live wallpapers existed before. But Apple did them right: a bunch of photos of the same spot in different time of the day, blended together to create the illusion of time passing - inside your desktop. I think it's pretty cool and I wanted it, but of course I don't have a MacBook, so...write it by yourself, right? I was too busy and excited to realize that a couple of similar scripts already existed - but they aren't complete, they are missing the " … »
If you are not using Arch, you probably should. There's a lot to be said about Arch Linux but that's not the right place: we are here to install what I think it's basic stuff to get your brand new installation up and running. Yep. There's already the official wiki (aka The Bible) guide here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/installation_guide. It's the place you have to look at, if you're installing Arch for your first time. … »
I bought a cheap yet powerful USB U2F token from Amazon.it (link). The U2F standard is compatible with a few websites, they are listed here: https://www.dongleauth.info/. Beware: I'm using Plasma and SDDM, I did not test all of this with other DEs or DMs. Also, pay attention before doing something possibly irreversible! Photo by Nick Fewings / Unsplash Mostly thanks to https://www.jamesthebard.net/archlinux-and-u2f-login/, what I also was able to get is to use this token instead of my password (but if you do care your privacy, you should use this as a second factor - not the only one, to do that you only need to change a word in the PAM module). … »
TL;DR: https://esho.pw, I made this! Intro Recently I bought a Nintendo Switch. That's by far the best game console I had in a long time, but you can read all about it online, I'm not here to talk about that! Here's the fact: with Nintendo Switch it's possible to buy games in foreign online shops with only one limitation: you can only buy from a shop in the same big region as you are. … »
TL;DR Player One è un romanzo molto interessante e ricco di riferimenti retrò e a videogame, ma anche ad alto contenuto di virtual reality. Non fatevelo scappare! Il libro in questo momento è introvabile sia fisico che ebook, per cui mi sento libero di lasciarvi il link per scaricarlo (pdf, epub, mobi, odt). Sarò felice di rimuoverlo appena uscirà una ristampa: DOWNLOAD. Articolo originariamente pubblicato il 4 settembre 2015 su breakingtech. … »
TL;DR Rick e Morty non è il nuovo Family Guy o Futurama. È figo, guardatelo. Ormai ci ho preso gusto e continuo a fare questi articoli dove sputo il mio parere su roba che mi passa per la mente. Oggi voglio scrivere di Rick e Morty, un cartone animato prodotto da Adult Swim che non è altro se non la parte notturna e per adulti di Cartoon Network. Quindi, cos'è sto cartone? … »
Allora, di solito non faccio recensioni. Mi limito a dare i miei personali pareri della roba che leggo/guardo/gioco agli amici interessati. Per questo gioco invece volevo spendere qualche parola in più visto quanto mi ha colpito positivamente. Al momento della scrittura, ho 14 ore di gioco su Steam e ho iniziato a giocarci circa 3 giorni fa.[1] Cos'è Hollow Knight Hollow Knight viene definito da tutti come un Metroidvania, un misto di Metroid e di Castelvania appunto. … »
Ebbene sì, è passato tanto tempo da quando creai un simpatico bot che aiutasse le persone a tenere traccia dei messaggi nei quali si viene taggati. Il suo nome era Pitabot ed è ancora attivo in tutta la sua bellezza: @pitasibot. [EDIT: in questo momento il bot potrebbe essere offline] È stato il mio primo bot per Telegram in assoluto, quindi chiaramente molti dei comandi mi sono solo serviti a testare le API. … »
