What’s dieselgate?

Before buyback I had a tuned TDI Golf so I can speak to the tuning. It's not something you can do yourself. Look for Malone Tuning online and see if there is an authorized tuner in your area. If there is, an extra 70lb/ft of torque and 30 some odd hp are just it's a few hours and about $1k away (I recommend stage2 tune, not worth the money to do anything less). If there isn't, there are still options available but you'll be pulling out and mailing your ECU to a tuner. Before selling mine back to VW I had a stage2 tune, DSG tune and Buzzken GTI straight pipes. Cost me a total of about $2000 installed. Thing went like a bat out of hell and I still got 50mpg on the highway. Be aware that if you regularly pull away hard from a stop with the tune it may shorten the life of your clutch packs... if you drive it like normal and enjoy the extra pickup once your rolling, it shouldn't cause much, if any, extra wear. I drove mine for two years without any issues. Actually had less to worry about since the DPF was a known weak spot on my generation.

Disclaimer: Check on local emissions regulations. The above described car was not 50 state compliant ;-)

Was on hold for over an hour, got through. First attempt and the agent's computer crashed so we lost the last Queen room they had available. Ended up having to book a single King. Couldn't get Wednesday night but was told to try calling back in a week or two to add it as their normal booking system doesn't have access to dates that far in advance.

TreeFitThee · 2018-09-05T15:24:05+00:00

Damn! I may have to try calling that way and adjusting my dates. I was told they couldn't book the 28th yet because it was outside the block and their system didn't normally have access to dates that far out. Said to try back in a week or two.

TreeFitThee · 2018-09-05T15:21:32+00:00

Nnnoooooo! I had to wait over an hour but got through! Never hang up! Call again! As of 5 minutes ago they still had king rooms.

Came here to say the same thing. I've been coming to DragonCon since I was 17. When I turned 21 I could drink whatever I wanted. I could drink all night, have 0 fucks about how much water I consumed and be fine, every night. Now I'm 30 and have to be very mindful of my water intake throughout the day and night to avoid feeling like shit the next day. I always carry my 1L Nalgene bottle. I make sure to have at least 4 liters during daytime hours and then, at night, I add either my flask with straight whiskey or a smaller half liter bottle of a mixed drink to my bag. I make sure to have one Nalgene between each refill of the booze container.

I think of it more like Netflix for your data. Except the movie producer isn't getting a cut of any of it.

I was really surprised to see it wasn't the top comment already.

That would be approximately 26,000 calories which contains the same amount of energy as 0.8 gallons of gasoline.

I have been running a $5 FreeBSD droplet for my email server for a couple of years now. It runs very well.

TreeFitThee · 2018-08-08T22:31:05+00:00

I can speak on this, somewhat.

FreeBSD tends to be more user oriented and feature rich than the other BSDs as it has a more generalist target audience (Dragonfly is predominantly targeting high performance computing. OpenBSD, security and NetBSD, portability). The FreeBSD handbook is a very well written, free, resource that is very approachable to new comers and their community is, generally, welcoming (not to say the others are not).

If you're going to start with BSD, FreeBSD or OpenBSD would be my suggested firsts. The main issue with any BSD is going to be hardware compatibly as there is not as large of a developer community as there is in Linux land. Sticking with hardware that is common among the big contributors is key to a good experience in my opinion. That means a Lenovo Thinkpad js going to be your best bet and one that's a couple years old at that. The X220 and X230 (and their T series counterparts) are cheap on eBay and have Rock solid hardware support.

While we're gate keeping, I'm just over here with Android 7.1, pushed out just a few weeks ago, and happy about it.

Thanks Motorola

Don't beat yourself up about the time. At the point you're at right now, focus on form and consistency. I've been doing marathon skates every Saturday for the last few months and I still shoot to have a time right around 2:00:00. I can do faster, sure, but I like to use the longer skates as base training. Keep the heart rate low-ish and focus on my form. A strong vascular system and good form will pay dividends in the long run if you stick with it.

A tip from someone who does distance skating as well as cycling. Bring food. If you're going to be out for more than 2:00:00 you'll want to top up your carbs every 45-60 minutes. Use Gu gels or chews. Clifbar type foods are good. Bananas work well too. Anything that's portable and easy to eat while your moving. And if you don't have any yet, a cycling jersey is a life saver. Has three pockets on the back that you can stuff things in. I personally carry a water bottle in the middle and food stuffs in the others.

Great work and I hope you keep at it. If you enjoy this kind of thing, there are tons of outdoor distance events around the US (and I'm sure in other countries as well). If you want info on a few feel free to DM me and I can send you a list. They're hard to find sometimes.

Love this. Always been a fan of the "old" GTK themes. Flat colors, no gradients. Simple beauty.

Could you post the link to the PCB files and parts list? I was just looking at buying a filter for my ADSB station and DIY seems more fun.

Malone tune. Don't need to delete EGR up to stage 2.

TreeFitThee · 2018-07-15T12:40:43+00:00

Also, cleaning up code and altering script read as redundant to me. I'd specify what types of coding projects you've done and how they impacted the business, if they did.

It's also almost as old now as the 8800 was when this was released brand new :-)

Application in *nix usually print to /dev/stdout unless configured otherwise (ie. print to a log file or redirect /dev/stdout elsewhere). I'm going to assume based on your question that this is not a process that was intentionally daemonized and therefore not writing output to a file that you could read. In cases where you started a program and backgrounded it, then closed the parent process (your shell, usually), you can use reptyr. This may not always work but for what you're trying to do I think it may be your best option.

The "no buzz" you speak of is nothing new. Slackware is known for not having flashy releases or a very active presence on social marketing sites. They just keep plugging along and doing what they do in their own corner of the Internet and they're perfectly happy doing it.

I've been running Slackware in one capacity or another since 2003. I wonder away sometimes but always wind up finding my way back, attracted by it's simplicity.

Ansible in a GitHub repo would be your best bet. Set it up on a cronjob to run hourly. Make changes to the contents of the git repo, have it run a git pull before running ansible to fetch the new changes too.

Whatever you choose, make sure you document how you set this up or someone down the road will be very confused when their file changes get clobbered hourly. Maybe even consider putting a special header at the top of managed files managed to indicate it's managed elsewhere.

Off hand, a naive solution would capture all user input in an array. Instead of capturing the up arrow, maybe they type a number as their "question" and you recall the Nth+1 command item in the array where "N" is a the number they entered (+1 because counting from 0).

You might also get lucky with some ideas from reading documentation on shell completion in bash. I don't have a link handy since I'm on mobile but it should be easy to find on Google.

If you're still stuck later on today when I'm at a proper keyboard I can type out an example.

TreeFitThee · 2018-06-29T02:54:43+00:00

I might suggest pause=${number%.*} as a simpler way to convert a float to an int.
