Living Room / Re: Does anyone here use Bitcoins?
« Last post by Tuxman on August 29, 2014, 11:05 AM »
TL;DR: Miner coders cripple their public versions so they can mine faster themselves. I doubt that's a Monero-centric thing.

Seems like Bitcoin (and other) mining is artificially crippled so the miner devs make higher profits:

Wordpress.com didn't let you install custom plug-ins last time I checked.

My rule of thumb here is to use only commonly used plug-ins with a record of security. I have to blindly trust them because checking is too expensive for me.
-Renegade (August 24, 2014, 11:21 AM)

I usually try to replace plug-ins by simple functions.php snippets around twice a year. Works well. I know it sounds a bit harsh, but if you don't understand PHP, you shouldn't install WordPress. Better use the wordpress.com hosting service.

I haven't donated either and I won't, my yearly donations go to other organizations. I just meant: if you care, donate, if not, ignore those icy people.

WordPress is known for its random security issues, but so are all larger web projects I know.

"Secure" your WP by renaming your wp-content folder and removing meta info from the log-in. I guess that already helps a lot.
And don't use too many plug-ins without having checked their code.

I've just stumbled upon 64-bit builds of Emacs 24.4-pretest. Sweet, but my window maximizing elisp code doesn't work anymore.  :(

I use Jiffy on Android.  8)
Which is a plain "time tracker" though.

I made the experience that tools which nag me are rather disabled than listened to.

Non-Windows Software / Re: Enough with the text editors... let's talk Terminal Emulators!
« Last post by Tuxman on August 09, 2014, 08:14 AM »
OpenBSD/FreeBSD desktops:
I prefer urxvt on *ix systems. Terminator is weird IMO. (But I'll surely try Final Term soon!) "Multi-terminal needs" can easily be solved with tmux.  :P In the very rare cases I want to use more than one terminal X window, I just press a hotkey and a second one opens. Thank you, awesome wm!

OSX:
This is a hard case. I have to work with OSX in the office. Terminal.app makes me sick. I installed iTerm2 as it has a nicer handling but it sometimes freezes when my ssh is connected too long. Rather annoying. I plan to replace iTerm2 by the Emacs shell next week (M-x shell) as I use Emacs with TRAMP for most "real" working tasks anyway.



Windows:
Easy. ConEmu with a PyCmd interpreter. Beat that.

Living Room / Re: Wikimedia refuses to remove animal selfie because monkey ‘owns’ the photo
« Last post by Tuxman on August 07, 2014, 04:07 AM »
Monkey see, monkey do?

After all, Wikipedia now ignores the monkey's copyright by just declaring the photo "Public Domain" without her consent. The monkey should sue them.

Bittorrent is a hype. I'm slightly angered with aversion about hypes. I never was into pop culture.

How are you getting an Android version of Palemoon? I can't find it on the Google Play Store, nor can I find a download for it on the Palemoon website.

Just don't have the gutz to go all the way with Linux.

Nor do all the good people.

i like Evernote (don't work with Linux)
-dantheman (August 03, 2014, 08:44 PM)

There's Everpad on Linux (among a couple of other Evernote API clients, some of them CLI-only).
I tried Geeknote once. Wonderful.

Must-read of the year:

Everything is branded. Even people. People are “personal brands”, despite the fact that, by and large, you can’t figure out what most of them are actually even good for. They just exist to be snarky and post selfies and demand that you buy something, anything, with their picture on it.
