Hacking on the shores of Lake Como during sunset, in low bandwidth mode… ☺
Arabella erased
Oh, with great sadness I read that Salvatore Aranzulla cancellato da Wikipedia: il “maestro Manzi” dell’informatica considerato non enciclopedico
I may be wrong but AFAICS he is the same Aranzulla that fifteen years ago were writing colossal, gross lies about GNU Linux.
If that’s the case I don’t cry
Debianisms
I was going to enable mod_rewrite on the new work box, discovering that CentOS doesn’t have a2enmod. So reading apache 2.2 – CentOS“-bash: a2enmod: command not found” – from Server Fault I discovered that
a2enmod is a debianism, on CentOS you will need to do this manually. Please refer to the Apache documentation to find out how to do this.
Life is full of surprises
Little, hidden gems.
I was looking for a Tiny Core image with Firefox preinstalled, found this spartan web page: Marketplace – Firefox – GNS3
That has a hidden gem in it: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/gns-3/Qemu%20Appliances/linux-tinycore-linux-6.4-firefox-33.1.1-2.img
A bootable image with a pretty recent web browser.
It’s always useful.
Stonex One real identity
I’m an happy owner of an aging Stonex Ultra. I live near Stonex, less than 5km and I’m pretty biased toward them. So it hurts to discover that their latest phone Stonex One is actually an AMOI, rebranded phone (article in italian).
I knew they were china-phones, I just thought they sold it with support. I may better support fairphone.
NOW, I’m ready!
If you don’t notice the horrible gamma it has…. 🙂

How Mark Zuckerberg Led Facebook’s War to Crush Google Plus
In Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg built not just a business, but a company culture with the fervor of a messianic sect.
Quite frankly I don’t know who may become the next dark knight. Together with Apple, I mean.

Cross Platform Fixed Point Maths Library from Google Code Archive – Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.
Grabbed it before Google shut down everything!
No need to reimplement everything, just as I plan to do with quad-precision floats.
Flatpak – the future of application distribution
I shall keep an eye on it. Sounds like docker like
