SO: The Plus Library has security issues, also it uses the imperial system for torque which is non-standard
OP: I don't want a big library for a small task
SO: well if you're not willing to adopt a well-tested library, you're not much of a programmer.
SO: Are you going to show some code or what?
OP: Oh, I found out by asking a human being. Thanks!
SO: what was the solution to your problem? I have the same issue but with 3’s
OP: <disappears>
TOPIC CLOSED BECAUSE TOO OPINIONATED

OP: What's 2 plus 2?
SO: In what context?
SO: It would help if you tried first and gave some sample code
OP: I have two cats and two dogs and I wish to solve for total animals
SO: Just count them one by one, it's more general
OP: Well I would but I have the numbers 2 and 2 because one routine returns cat count, and the other the count of dogs
SO: Use The Plus library <github repo link>

This past weekend I wondered where all the cooperative, collective, and capitalist-adjacent responses to basic infrastructure were, and mastonauts sent me down an internet hole on open source design, manufacturing, and appropriate technology.

Let me share interesting links with you..

Oh and I forgot about , which is quite striking.

If you're interested in and/or , you might want to check out . I still like my Csound, but Impromptu is pretty fun to mess with, has graphics routines, and it doesn't have the most-awkward-key-combination-ever-conceived: "=>" 🤣

I just wrote the 3rd episode tutorial about the LTE/Wifi router project.

This episode deals with traffic filtering, traffic routing and VPN. I tried to explain how to choose a VPN provider - hard task indeed.

Feel free to comment!!

Here is the 3rd chapter of the tutorial 0x39b.fr/post/pi_router_story/

I have an infinite bottle of . It started with a little sourdough beer recipe, and I decided to just treat the beer itself like starter.

After I drink it, I put more sugar water into the bottle and let the yeast have at it again for about 5-10 days. Seems to work out, but next time I'll see if I can transfer the mother to a different sanitized bottle before refilling with sugar water.

It queues up all properly tagged soundcloud & youtube toots.

I am starting a small project meant to create a small, cheap and secure LTE/Wifi router you can bring with you everywhere.

This router is based on a #PiZero, #Debian, #OpenVPN and probably #Tor.

The main motivation is to help people to take the control of the hardware they use.

So, if some of you wants to build an LTE/Wifi router from scratch, have a look to the introduction I wrote 0x39b.fr/post/pi_router_story/

Comments and advices are appreciated.

A fun install of OpenElec on the consumed my day, but what a glorious thing it is.

I think comes with a kernel driver for using an IR sensor through the GPIO; maybe I'll google a bit cuz it'd be sweet to hack up an old remote with it (unlike the BBB whose timing jitter just snorted at my attempts).
