Surprised nobody has mentioned it yet, but some of the best network engineers I know will use a combination of `tcptrace` and `xplot`. It's on the command line of course, but graphs can still be generated and I think it's more per

This is awesome and I love every bit of it. I just wished there was a login that I could associate my progress with it. Nice work!

This would have been excellent. It's really shocking that the offenders had the knowledge/power to get into the twitter account but didn't do something like this.

I actually had the same thought but with movie theatres. I think movie theatres would be highly effective as they could tightly pack many people into a room that they could not have otherwise. I feel as if they could generate profit and eas

I know absolutely nothing about music, but I find this to be really interesting! It makes we wonder what whackier ways exist yet. I've always wondered if its possible to use a standard computer keyboard for this sort of thing. What are

I have a question about mushrooms that I don't often see get addressed. Psychedelic mushrooms nearly always are touted as medicinal tools and powerful substances for curing PTSD or depression. However, in my own life, I don't suff

I've been using Anki for a number of years now, and I think it's a fantastic tool for retention. However, I have never had any success with learning concepts that were new or foreign to me. I use it for testing powers of 2, port n

I have a raspberry pi in my home network with an SSH server. I then just use Putty or Git Bash and ssh into the pi to do my Linux related work from Windows. I need to work a little more with systemd and block devices, so I didn't think

I struggle with this too. Perspective is really what helps me. Any amount of money that you make can be high or low relative to who you are surrounding yourself with. Try volunteering at a homeless shelter or getting involved with Habitat f

What do you mean by "increased autonomy"? Could you give some examples of what that looks like? Thanks

I loved this! I don't think there is an English word that succinctly describes this. Thanks for sharing

There is already a ton of good advice on this thread, so I will try to avoid sounding like a broken record. But something that really stood out to me is you not leaving your flat. I think by just staying in your apartment during all your fr

You have certainly described a grim future. But if you want to be pessimistic, I feel like drone warfare is far more effective, stealthy, and cheaper.

I'm writing a service that downloads content from Reddit. Usually I just want to see the top video of the week, or maybe the top 5 pics from /r/pics every day or something like that. The service has handlers for various kinds

I was hoping that it would mention _which_ 9 states they are looking to hire in. It gave a few hints, but do we know for certain which 9 they are talking about?

> if you buy 10 ETH with 1 BTC, then sell the 10 ETH later for 1.2 BTC, you need to pay capital gains tax on whatever the dollar value of 0.2 BTC was at the time of the trade. This is super hard for the government to track. Could you pr

> so who's to say that the user isn't getting screwed on price and allowing Robinhood to take their cut? Are you referring to market orders? I don't understand this. If I place a limit order for 1 share at $20. And the ord

I am also in the process of switching to B2. I had previously used Dropbox but really don't like the direction they are taking with the Google Docs clone, and showing me a bunch of thumbnails from my photos. I just want a simple, affor

I'm not choosing a side here, but saying "we have Wireshark" doesn't mean as much as you think it does. If packets are encrypted and sent at arbitrary times, we really have no idea what is being communicated. Surely we c

Honest question here. Can somebody explain why a device is needed for this? How does this differ from this project? https://github.com/k4m4/kickthemout

Correct, I misunderstood the question. I thought OP was asking for examples where you could purchase a SAAS service or choose to have it self hosted.

Students' Expected Salaries was the most surprising section for me. As a US soon to be grad, those numbers seemed surprisingly low. Perhaps the numbers are a lot less outside the US? I don't even think I could find a dev position

I too am not a user of Facebook, but I think for a different reason. It's interesting that you cited an "insane amount of tools available" as being an alternative to Facebook. Isn't Facebook one of those tools?

I am really interested in some of the smaller communities such as /r/datahoarder, /r/homelab and some of the Linux based ones. Other than that, I will just read some of top posts once a week. Contrary to most of HNers I
