scragg··on Show HN: Realms Wiki – Simple Git-backed wiki inspired by Gollum
It's currently running on a $5 digital ocean vps. Didn't have any issues today.

The suggested install is the install.sh file. It creates a virtualenv and installs the pip packages. Although I only tested with ubuntu 14.04. Did you use the script? what kind of errors did you get? I admit I do need to document the install process better, I hope to create dist packages to make it easier as well.

It may be possible but I would recommend putting Nginx in front of it for SSL or general production use.

I was thinking about forking gollum but I'm a ruby newb. I thought about leaving auth out but I think it might be useful to many people. I want the user to be able to disable it and use some kind of signed cookie based auth. I like the Nginx OAuth method, I will check it out, thanks.
scragg··on Elon Musk’s SpaceX Is Raising Money at a Valuation Approaching $10B
I don't think so. You might have to work for them or buy a T-Shirt like I did.
scragg··on Tesla's Model 3
No, they only did it for people that ordered the 40kwh.
scragg··on Tesla's Model 3
It's a 60kwh battery software limited to 40kwh. In other words, it allows me to charge to 66% on a 60kwh battery. I could pay $10k to unlock the extra 60 miles of charge, but not worth it to me.

This was said over a year ago in an earnings call. I hope he is correct. It's a detail that is regularly omitted, wonder why. That tax credit will be available for the gen 3 based off of S sales. There are also phase out periods for the credit when the sales target has hit for 50% and 25% of tax credit. Telsa will want to have optimal production capabilities when that time comes.

The $35,000 will be starting after rebate, so $42,500 out the door with zero upgrades. I'm pessimistic they can get that low of a price with 300 mile range, so I'm predicting that is an optional battery upgrade from the base price. There are options you will want like the tech package which is $3k+ on the S.

I snagged a 40kwh S before they discontinued it. Had it for a year, never needed to charge anywhere but my home. I get about 135 miles on a charge and it has been more then enough for commutes around the metro.

scragg··on Malaysia B772 has crashed near Donetsk
I would attempt to get a refund since you have a legit concern. A forward thinking manager might avoid the potential PR problem that lightning will strike twice and on top of that, denying concerned passengers refunds.

scragg··on 42.zip (2004)
I would guess you would just need to create the single 4G file and zip it. Once it's zipped, copy 16 times, put in a zip file, repeat.
scragg··on HippyVM
I got HHVM running wordpress on a relatively high traffic site. The difference is night and day and setup was simple. To have something faster is crazy :)
scragg··on Tesla boss Elon Musk hints at technology giveaway
Boss is right.
scragg··on Apple WWDC 2014 Live Streaming
Is there a stream for Linux users? (without vm)
scragg··on Google to close Motorola smartphone factory in Texas
Moto X is a good phone. It was a huge disappointment when I heard about the price at launch. It could not compete on price with the Nexus line. Add that to the fact only AT&T customers get the moto customizer. Too bad, I live within a few miles of the factory.
scragg··on Syncthing: Open Source Dropbox and BitTorrent Sync Replacement
I would of liked the name "synctank" better. :)
scragg··on Nginx 1.6.0 stable released
I bet it will get closed for being too localized.
scragg··on Tesla Model S – Cost of Ownership vs. Honda Odyssey
Cost me $125
scragg··on LastPass and the Heartbleed Bug
I suppose you could carry it on a usb drive.
scragg··on AWS Responds with Price Cuts: Google vs AWS Pricing Round 2
Now can they just lower the compute and storage outbound transfer rates? :)
scragg··on New York Auto Dealers' Lobby Prepping New Anti-Tesla Legislation
You can still take a test drive in TX, I've done it. Just make an appointment. I'm not sure how they can do it legally. My guess is local contractors are hired to do it and not Tesla themselves.
scragg··on New York Auto Dealers' Lobby Prepping New Anti-Tesla Legislation
Texas S owner here, people are still getting their cars here despite these restrictions. Here is a pic from May of last year when I picked up mine. Most of these cars are being prepped for their owners. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13941904/cars/teslas.jpg

It makes buying more cumbersome and we paid 20% down on something we never seen or even driven a test model. I also was not able to put TX sales tax into my loan and had to pay the lump sum when registering the vehicle here.

Keep in mind you can now see the S at the service center and take it for a test drive but you need to make an appointment. The problem is they can't (or not supposed to) help you with buying or financing there, you have to do it over the phone and on the website.

scragg··on Flappy Bird Ported to C64
Can we stop voting up the flappy bird stuff.
scragg··on How Old Is The Shepherd?
I just asked my 2 yr old this same question. He just responded with "yellow!" /facepalm
scragg··on The Mission of Tesla
Lets also compare the amount of people that die/injured because their isn't a sufficient crumple zone to absorb impact and that can prevent the doors from jamming, due to having an ICE in the front. Lets compare how many people die/injured from a vehicle rolling over because it has a higher center of gravity. We kind of just put up with these things which are more of a design flaw that has serious consequences. Model S are much safer in these areas yet we are concerned with road debris fires. I wish Tesla would make more safety features standard such as front/back sensors+camera, collision warning, adaptive cruise, blind spot warning, etc. The car of the future should be safe and prevent needless death.
scragg··on Tesla: Third Model S fire in past two months
Pic of 3rd fire: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3...

CNet is showing the first fire. Keep in mind the model s has a 12 volt battery right behind the nose. It is in a much more vulnerable spot then the main battery pack.

scragg··on Mac Pros, Ara, and Modularity
> We're already seeing workarounds - graphics cards are using two, or even three PCI-E slots to get that precious bandwidth they need. With 4k displays on the horizon, and textures in games being updated accordingly, we're going to need more bandwidth to graphics cards. At some point, we're either going to have to switch to two dimensional connectors like processors are using for GPUs (which will still only delay our issues), or we're going to have to move away from the 1mm build fabrication for our interconnects. If the later happens, we simply can't rely on consumers to properly line up lanes in components.

They aren't actually using the slot, just potentially covering a slot right? One of the fastest desktop cards out, r290x only uses one PCI-E slot.

scragg··on Unlocked phones are the way to go
I've done this and the math already. We had 3 of us on a shared family plan on contract with Sprint at around $200/month. We broke contract and ate some large fees and sold our Sprint phones. We bought 3 nexus4 phones and switched to T-mobile that came around $100/month. Even after paying for breaking our contract with Sprint it was cheaper than to wait the contract out.

As a bonus, we all got unlocked phones with Wifi tethering (free) and better data service. Keep in mind though, T-mobile signal might suck for your location.
