rellik··on Bttf is a command line datetime Swiss army knife
Not to be confused with "biff" from "back to the future"
rellik··on Presenterm: Markdown Slideshows in the Terminal
Very cool! I see the comments about Kitty. Any other terminals well supported?
rellik··on Glowforge launches consumer-grade laser cutter
What a shame... I am in the market for a home laser to replace the Epilog I use (at a makerspace), and this looks amazing. I won't be buying it if it's cloud-only, though. :(
rellik··on U.S. Coding Website GitHub Hit with Cyberattack
For those that find this doesn't work (like me), just go to google and type the name of the article.
rellik··on GitHub under ongoing DDoS attack
Thanks (China) for doing this on a weekend! Works out well for what I imagine are a large portion of Github's paying users.

Please stop by tomorrow morning.

rellik··on Erlang On Xen is now Open Source
Some interesting use cases: http://erlangonxen.org/case/thwarting-a-combinatorial-explos...
rellik··on Parallax effect from Google Lens Blur photos
Same here (in firefox). Tried in Chrome and it works fine.
rellik··on 3-Sweep: Extracting Editable Objects from a Single Photo [video]
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Funny how them pointing out the failures of the product make it seem cooler (since it seems more real).
rellik··on Concept to Finished Piece – Generations of an Electronics Project
Thanks :) I (OP, and blog author) have been doing Etsy for a little over a year now and try to blog about my process. I don't get a ton of sales (a few a month), but it's a fun side-project.
rellik··on Security incident update
Why won't they just tell us the private key's passphrase, so we can judge for ourselves how secure it is?
rellik··on Ssh rootkit in the wild
More info: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1235797
rellik··on There's No Protection In High Ports
I like some mix of the following:

- disable passworded logins (only keys)

- ssh bastion host

- decoy ssh honeypot on port 22 (http://www.plainlystated.com/2013/02/ssh-honeypots-dataviz/)

rellik··on Vulnerabilities in dozens of Military and Pentagon websites
My thoughts exactly.. though I didn't have the guts to paste these into my curl.
rellik··on PagerDuty Down
...and, it's back up
rellik··on PagerDuty Down
"@pagerduty knows" <-- https://twitter.com/FST777/status/294485421642100736

...but, how does @FST777 know that @pagerduty knows?

rellik··on MIT website hacked by Lulzsec
it's back up
rellik··on Ask HN: Hostname Conventions for Distributed Systems?
Yeah, the tokenized strategy is kinda going after the ephemeral nature of the boxes, which is why I like it. Do you use the numbered approach?
rellik··on Twitter Completely Down
Wheels down @ Chicago O'Hare. Ping me if you wanna meet up while I'm in town
rellik··on Cubism.js: time series visualization
Doesn't work on android =/
rellik··on More 50%-off Amazon Gift Cards
Should work for other cities (not that city would matter).
rellik··on Etsy: Announcing Direct Checkout. (No longer just PayPal.)
This is worse than PayPal for sellers with products over $5 (after shipping, tax). I wish they could've come up with better pricing. I would think most shops would be selling things over the $5 mark, but I can't say for sure.
rellik··on Coffeescript, VowsJS, & Asynchronous Testing
Thanks. Updated the post.
rellik··on Hidden Android Testing Menu
Tested on my evo 3D (works)
rellik··on Fighting Back After Hacker News Took Down My Site
FWIW, I just recently switched to self-hosting. I was on blogger before, but moved because I want to retain complete rights to my content.

apache: rails & sinatra were on passenger. php was mod_php. nodejs was proxied.

nginx: rails & sinatra are on passenger. php is php-fpm. nodejs is proxied

rellik··on Fighting Back After Hacker News Took Down My Site
Definitely agree! For me, the counter-point is that there's tremendous value in getting the Minimal Viable Product out the door, and iteratively improving it (the post in question was only the 2nd post after moving off a hosted blog). Projects that I want to be perfect before release usually don't make it out the door.

Plus, I'd grown lazy from my lack of traffic :)

I used W3 Total Cache. It generates a static file and puts it in apache's search path, so it never hits PHP
rellik··on Fighting Back After Hacker News Took Down My Site
Hmm, didn't know you could throw ram at it without adding servers/bouncing the box. Very cool :)

Still, I think there's value in figuring out this stuff by investigating efficiency gains. If I was having to do real tricky stuff (which would probably be beyond my expertise) then the cloud would make more sense for me.

Do you use something automated to ensure things are cached? I use a different page caching plugin (W3 Total Cache), but it also puts the comment in the HTML.

That's what the page caching plugin does. It puts a static file in nginx/apache's search path, so it never hits PHP
