A seldomly updated log of stuff I'm into. Mostly about programming and tech.
Hace años, al menos diez, que no sentía este peso en el pecho, que no sentía tantas ganas de pasar tiempo con alguien, tanta paz cuando lo paso y tanto vacío cuando no. Romane me dijo enseguida que se dio cuenta de cómo me sentía que ella no sentía lo mismo, que yo era muy bueno y quería ser mi amiga, pero más nada. Ya se fue, y entre las fotos y los mensajes, hay cantidad de memorias, pero hay…
Cada vez que me reúno con amigos a tocar guitarra, más tarde o más temprano termino tocando El Pararrayos. Y cada vez que me pasa me acuerdo que la letra no está en ningún lugar en Internet, y ya yo no tengo memoria para aprendérmela. Pues aquí está, para la próxima vez que me haga falta: El Pararrayos Música y letra: Virulo Hombres los hubo siempre que como el avestruz esconden la cabeza para no…
I usually lock my sessions, either manually or automatically after some idle time. At home that doesn’t make much of difference, but at the office, or in a public place, it’s important. However, I’ve always had this secret hole in my security: sometimes, because Linux’s graphical interfaces tend to die, I hit Ctrl+Alt+F[1-6] to use the the real TTYs, curiously named virtual consoles , for the same…
When I ssh from one system to another on my own network, or between virtual machines, I usually don’t pay much attention to these warnings: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ since I know no one is meddling with my network and I know that’s the result of me…
TL;DR: Open the controller and cover the inner half of the metallic contacts below the D-Pad with some adhesive tape. See pictures below. The Problem This is the Nintendo Switch’s Pro Controller: It was launched along the Switch back in March, and from day one, some people have been reporting that the D-Pad registers unwanted Up and Down inputs when pressing Left or Right . [citations] I finally…
Creating BotW Panoramic Pictures Back in February, this post was made in Reddit and I found it fascinating. The world of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is expansive and gorgeous. And those panoramic views were great. That post relied on one key idea: when aiming with the Phrenic Bow, the entire bow disappears from the screen, leaving just the cross-hair. However, most of the process was…
System Heaven System Heaven is an easy and secure way of running subprocesses. It is more convenient that subprocess , particularly when pipes are involved. And it’s more secure than os.system because it never uses a shell underneath and it’s not vulnerable to shell injections . The problems with os.system While os.system is simple and convenient, it has several downsides: Insecure: As long as the…
I recently installed Debian 8 on a MacBook Pro with a hi-dpi display, or as Apple calls it, a Retina Display. I used a netinst installer, which is very small, but leaves you, right after the installation, with nothing but a Linux text console. And the font is tiny! Luckily, there’s a remedy for this. First, squint your eyes and login, and set the font directly with: setfont Uni3-Terminus32x16 If…
Super short post. This may not be a surprise if you’re an Emacs user, but in my circles people use Vim and we discovered this just today. You can cut & paste in the command line, like this: Cut to the end of the line with Ctrl+K and paste at the cursor position with Ctrl+Y . </center> There are more options than just **`Ctrl+K`** and **`Ctrl-Y`**. Browse the documentation of Bash and search for…
My last post got more attention from my friends thanks to the illustration of my HooToo than for the fact that I put OpenVPN inside it. Some doubted I had done it myself, so here’s a little more info. After I managed to get OpenVPN running I was really excited and I wanted to write a post about it, and I wanted to include an illustration of my HooToo. I took several pictures but I didn’t like any,…
