Momento mori — A term I learned about when I started following and practicing (albeit poorly) Stoicism. It means, in short, ‘remember that you [have to] die’. Not only does it remind you that you, yourself are going to die, but that everyone around you is also going to die.
To some, that idea is hard to grasp. Others come to terms with the concept early. There is no telling how death will impact any single person.

So you don't want to use Docker for Mac anymore, huh?
First, let's install docker and virtualbox.
brew install docker docker-machine brew install --cask virtualbox Now let's create a "docker machine" using docker-machine. This wraps around virtualbox to spin up a vm (and probably does other stuff).
docker-machine create --driver virtualbox \ --virtualbox-cpu-count "4" \ --virtualbox-memory "8192" \ default Now we'll set up a credential store for docker.
curl -O https://github.

A few years ago I started slowly transforming my house into a "Smart House".
It started with some friends of ours showing us their smart bulbs and how they could tell Alexa to turn them on and off. I'll admit, I was skeptical of how smart bulbs could be life changing, and it took a few years until I would get there.
But this isn't that story, this is about how I converted my plain ol' dumb fan into a Wi-Fi enabled smart fan for my OpenHab system.

I bought a bag of integrated circuits (IC) from eBay — it is about 1/2 a pounds and contains all kids of TTL, CMOS, Semiconductors, etc. And the “etc” is very interesting. eBay seller — https://www.ebay.com/sch/oblagon/m.html I’m going to go through as many of them as I can and put them on a breadboard, reviewRead more

After about a year, I swap out my prototype furnace sensor with a permanent solution, complete with 3d printed case and two temperature probes. I will post a follow-up video once I get some graph data to show the vibration and temperature over a period of time. In a future video, I will cover inRead more

When I was a senior in college (longer ago than I should admit to) I did a demonstration about sniffing user’s facebook traffic when they were using wifi at my college. At the time Facebook didn’t redirect HTTP -> HTTPS by default and most users were connecting over plaintext.
Since then Facebook has switched to secure browsing by default, and most companies are encrypting traffic in transit whether it’s internal or external.

I’m not looking to add to the noise around using zoom to work remotely and connect with people during social distancing, but after spending some time on Google I couldn’t find a guide on how to do this. These are pretty much my own notes while I’m prepping to try and host a user group through zoom.
Here’s my “minimal video call host check list”
Let people know what they’re getting into (state that you’d like people to turn on video in the agenda, tell them what will happen during the meeting, ask for their patience while everyone gets used to the video chat)1.

The one item I forgot to put in my recently written — ‘Survival tips for new or expecting dads’ and it wasn’t until after I published it that I realized I had forgotten to include this important tip. Though optional, probably the most important of them all regarding the actual delivery of the baby.
While my previous post focused on some pre-arrival education and gadgets that could be used once the baby is home, this post will focus on those intense hours of labor and the ONE THING a dad can do to make it a much better experience for everyone involved.
