LOL, I found this hilarious because my 5 y/o kid wakes me up when it's time for food. Definitely gonna "fork" your source here and try it out myself :)

After installing Momentum I was about to do a google search for some troubleshooting. So I open a new tab like always and paste the error message from my clipboard and press ENTER in haste. Momentum must've had autofocus on it's initial "What's your name" input field, because I mistakenly set my name to `ntu gnome-software error`. This was a year ago, but it's so amusing I just kept it.

Good evening, ntu gnome-software error.

We use pfSense at a client of mine and it's great. I didn't have any prior experience with it but I only spent a couple of nights setting everything up. We use it to manage firewall rules and as DHCP server for 2 VLANs.

We've used it for about a year now. Had several power outages. The pfSense box is still running like a champ, no problems whatsoever.

Turns out my client actually wanted an email spamfilter though, but our mail is hosted in another country so I had a little trouble explaining why our internal pfSense couldn't help us there. Oh well.

This is Googles captcha system and its used by a bunch of services. It has nothing to do with Mailchimp (except that they use reCAPTCHA) so changing mailing list provider for this might not be a wise idea.

With that said, I much rather prefer this new reCAPTCHA compared to their old version with hardly any readable characters.

Wow. I thought it was a joke but reading the docs and even your workarounds for keyboard layout issues for Mac/Linux/Windows does make it seem real, or else why put in so much effort.

The website girls are hilarious in a ridiculous kind of way.

Very original project :)

How can you even afford manufacturing? I'm guessing the market for these little utility-keyboards aren't really big. And most factories require a certain minimum order quantity.

This'll be a fun gift for our network engineer next christmas :)

I use Todoist for notes that are potential tasks. Some times the line can be blurry so I have to regularly clean my Todoist tasks.

For the rest I use Google Keep which I've found to be quite handy. Nice UI and it's available everywhere. I've already sold my soul to Google so why not let them get my notes as well.

I setup a Windows 10 computer the other day. When I was done with the initial configuration I opened control panel to add more local users. I'm clicking on the button to add a new user, and guess what happens; The modal window to create a new local user actually shows a loading bar, because apparently it's connecting to some online server. To make things worse, that server was unavailable for some reason so I actually couldn't add local users... "please try again later", ffs.

I got around the problem by using the tool "lusrmgr.msc", but still. God knows what else is going on.

For learning, I have a directory in my Dropbox called "Programming" with a subdir for each programming language. Then I make my test projects/tutorials in single dirs, for instance: /Dropbox/Programming/Lua/helloworld

For other projects which may or may not develop into something bigger I put it on Github now that my subscription offers unlimited private repos. Previously I hosted them on Gitlab.

I like to organize the projects with Git because it'll often go months between when working on different private projects and by looking at the Git log I quickly see what was the last thing I worked on to get back on track.

Interesting! 40 of my 102 games haven't been played yet. Jesus christ, I'm gonna have to call in sick next week to catch up here.

Please don't make Starcraft 1 AI any tougher.

After so many years I still can't beat that beast on Easy.

Yeah it's pretty dangerous to browse Steam now... I already purchased 4 games today (even two AAA titles), and I still have 5-6 untouched games from the last christmas sale.
