Fun game. I found had trouble seeing the color contrast, so I modified the connection color by updating the CSS for .root.tile to #aaffff

I have an older laptop with a 32-bit processor and found that TinyCoreLinux runs well on it. It has its own package manager that was easy to learn. This distro can be handy in these niche situations.

I went to a restaurant and they asked "How we doing?". And I said "I don't know. I'm doing well, but I'm not sure how you are doing."

Reminds me of an old calculator trick:
Pick an integer between 1 and 9. Multiple it by 9. Take that number and multiply it by 12345679. (Skip the 8)
>>> 3 * 9
27
>>> 12345679 * 27
333333333
This all works because:
>>> 111111111 / 9
12345679.0

Neat to see this done by hand! It helps demystify the magic behind git commands.
If you like this, I also recommend "Write Yourself a Git", where you build a minimal git implementation using python: https://wyag.thb.lt/

Initially, I used `uv tool run <name>`, but later discovered `uv tool install <name>`. The `install` command downloads dependencies once and caches them for future use. It is similar to how `pipx install <name>` works.
e.g.
$ uv tool install asciinema
$ asciinema play example.cast

I'm also curious if this functionality is possible to achieve through browser configuration.
Alternatively, a browser extension could potentially provide a helpful solution.
I suspect the implementation may vary on a case-by-case basis. The example [1] on the page utilizes the luxy.js [2] library.
For this specific page [1], I found that I can disable the smooth scrolling behavior by running the following command in the developer tools console:
luxy.init({ wrapperSpeed: 1.0});

I enjoyed participating in Octojam (the CHIP-8 game jam) in previous years and sad to see it come to an end.
Working with CHIP-8 inspired me to a CHIP-8 emulator which was a great learning experience.

Chisel is a handy red-team tool. I learned about it training for the OSCP (Offsec Certified Professional). It comes in handy under certain situations.
Another tool I recommend is Ligolo-ng [1]. You set up a network interface and use "ip route" to send traffic through it. In a way, it "feels like a VPN".

I was looking for a lightweight OS to run on old Asus Eee PC 1005 HA, which uses a 32-bit Intel Atom N270 processor. I installed Void Linux (https://voidlinux.org/).
I may give DSL 2024 a try and see how it compares.

Love it! I like seeing Pac-man put into strange scenarios.
I made a slightly similar (1.5d?) game for the CHIP-8. Pacman can only go left and right, but the ghosts fall from the sky.
