More like, "Why is Intuit so awful?" My personal story on this: I was a Mint early-adopter, and some time before Intuit purchased Mint I was also a TurboTax online user. I liked using Mint mostly just to track my net worth /

Frankly I'm shocked at how anemic the radar chip demonstration and marketing materials are compared to what they demoed about the chip a few years ago. Google had video showing how they could differentiate individual finger motion and

Yup, agree 100%. We bought a 2014 Mazda 6, and while it has a touch screen, I find myself only using the control knob 99% of the time. It's vastly superior to any touchscreen interface I've ever used, and also far better than some

I don't disagree with your comments about tradespeople's hours, but I'm not sure I agree with the reasons. A lot of those long hours are due to taking on more work/jobs to make more money. That is probably somewhat due

That's a good point. I suppose as long as I'm careful with updates, I should be able to leave it alone until there's a long-lost security bug found.

Nice write-up. I have a very similar setup, only I didn't delve into the netflow montioring/traffic shaping because it seemed a bit overkill for my needs. Have you given any thought about what you might do with respect to Shorewal

I've been running Arch as my main home server for going on 11 years now. I love it. In that time span, the biggest hurdles have been the sysvinit/systemd transition and a handful of issues with mongodb feature deprecations that re

High likelihood it was this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Router The Arch Wiki is pretty awesome, generally, and I used this pretty heavily as a reference. I will say, this was not 100% perfect and I had to use

Welp. I recently completed an Arch-linux and PCEngines-based DIY router build and stumbled upon Shorewall as an alternative to straight-up IP tables... I'm not looking forward to changing this setup.

Yep, I've been mulling some DIY work on replacing the headlights and adding foglamps... Despite appearing bright on my garage door, the actual street visibility of the standard headlights is pretty awful on this car. I'm not sure

Those aren't necessarily mandatory, but it certainly seems a lot of the safety tech is not available unless you also get things like that. For reference, my wife and I bought a 2014 Mazda 6 Touring, which seems to be one of the few car

With the exception of safety features (think blind spot monitoring, backup cameras, lane keep assist, parking sensors) and mobile connectivity features like bluetooth, frankly I'm getting tired of all the crap they're throwing int

Good to know it's not just me. I've reluctantly been pulled into using the feed (as you say it has some nice features, and it's right there on my phone when I swipe right, so hard to avoid...), but this recent change has real

Awesome project! I browsed through your headlessPi repo and saw how you configure hostapd and whatnot, but I'm having trouble seeing where you actually get the uap0 interface created. Have you tried this on a Pi Zero W yet?

That's as fantastic looking application! If I can find some time, maybe I'll consider helping out.

Thanks! Hope it works out for you. If so, I'll update the article to indicate it applies to RPi 3 as well (I don't have one to test with myself.)

Appreciate it!

Are you referring to the issues I had getting it working prior to my workaround script? I would love to know as well. I mentioned it somewhere, but during boot, there are a few cryptic Broadcom driver errors which a Google search turned up

Thanks for the info! I recall reading about that before, but forgot about it. With respect to your question, I didn't post a log from iw dev after a reboot, but ap0 does appear after reboot. Before proofreading my post, I originally in

Unfortunately, the antenna on the RPi is not great, due to it being a PCB-etched pattern antenna. For client, the range seems really good, thought not nearly as good as something like a cell phone, probably by about half. For AP mode, the u

So I've tested it at home, where I have 2 different APs on 2 different channels (11 and 6, if that's of any consequence). I purposely rebooted the APs the RPi was using for internet access and it seamlessly switched over to the ot

Thanks! Hopefully it works for you. I've got it going on 2 RPi Zero W boards so far, and it seems pretty stable. I actually wrote most of that post last night while passing all my laptop traffic through the RPi with no issues for over

Thank you. To be totally honest, I don't have a plan fully fleshed out, but the gist of it is this. I'd like to use a few RPi Zero W's as part of a home automation setup, primarily for either monitoring temperature/moti

I've had a hard time finding resources on getting a Raspberry Pi Zero W to operate simultaneously as and AP and WiFi client. I pooled together whatever resources I found that failed me, but got part of the way there, and figured out th

Great write-up. I find this system a lot more friendly than previous attempts I've made at game programming, usually involving derived classes of a an Entity class that posses inherited function calls for things like Draw(), Move(), e
