remvee··on Ask HN: Donating to FLOSS Projects?
Yes, I am totally investing in myself and maybe I am "solving mortal problems" too but that's besides the point. Donating to stuff you depend on isn't an altruistic act and I am sorry if I made it sound like that. You do make a good point about Kubernetes and Google, and yes I intent not to donate to projects already backed by big money because that's pretty pointless. So, what are projects great projects / organisation so support instead?
remvee··on Ask HN: Favorite purchases of last two years?
A automatic seiko watch. I always thought a watch is stupid because I carry a phone with me but I found out leaving my house without my phone is much more enjoyable that with a phone. It seems obvious now but it still feels like a tiny luxury holiday.
remvee··on Vt52-FPGA
Cool! Interesting to see some verilog.

Also, interesting you mention Atari ST in the readme, I wrote a VT52 emulator in m68k assembly for my ST because the built-in emulator couldn't keep up with maximum baudrate (my ST did not have a blitter chip). Salvaged it from a floppy disk a couple of years ago and put it on gh: https://github.com/remvee/st-tty

remvee··on Linux Bash vs. Windows PowerShell
@vedipen, thera's a typo in bash "if" example, an if-block is closed with "fi".

edit: "if" example also misses a semicolon before "then".

remvee··on Using an Atari ST as Unix/Linux Terminal
Aaah, those were the days.. I went from an ST to Slackware on a 386, hooked them up using the serial port and wrote my own terminal emulator because whatever emulator I could get my hands on could not keep up with the maximum baudrate; https://github.com/remvee/st-tty
remvee··on Ask HN: What software are you forced to use that you hate?
The IRC gateway to Slack (not on by default) makes it a lot more bearable.
remvee··on Setting Up Master-Master Replication On Four Nodes With MySQL 5 On Debian Etch
Do read the comments at the bottom of the page before taking this howto serious.
