Unreal Tournament from 1999 (Game of the Year - GOTY - Edition) is now 15 years old and still a great multiplayer game, especially at LAN parties. It is free to download so you can share this gem with anyone. If you play it regularly you will want to host a server. This guide for FreeBSD closely follows the Linux guide, but as always FreeBSD needs a couple of adjustments. First of all make a new user with adduser. All default settings, I call mine ut99. ...
Over the last two Sundays, Stavanger Makerspace hosted meetups to build 4x4x4 RBG LED Arduino-controlled “charlie cubes”. A charlie cube, originally designed by Asher Glick and Kevin Baker, uses a minimum of components and can be made very cheap by using just an Arduino nano. Charlie-cube projects abound on the internet, but the amount of soldering points suspended only by thin wires often leads to misaligned results. Our intrepid member Kjetil Eik, known for impressive 3D prints on his sturdy Felix, thought we could do better. He designed and printed tools and jigs to straighten out what would otherwise have been a crooked crowd. He also designed a PCB to avoid the messy breadboard. ...
It seems like everyone is finding ways to watch American Netflix content. While it is easy with one of many plugins on the computer, it gets harder on devices such as iPad or PS3 and even more so on Chromecast with its hard-coded google DNS. Some people will also want a solution for the home router, covering all devices at once. The most common fix is to get a VPN. Usable from the computer, iPad, Chromecast or a sufficiently advanced router, a VPN routes your traffic through a server in the US. The main drawback is speed. Most VPN providers are over-subscribed and, in general, it will be hard to get Super HD streaming - at least with any stability and on more than one device. You will also want to separate your other browsing traffic from the VPN to avoid the speed loss, and avoid having all websites think you are from the US. All in all, a solution with drawbacks. ...
Denne posten fra 2014 er oppdatert i 2015 med IPv6-innstillinger - se nederst. De fleste som har Altibox fiber-bredbånd og vil bruke egen ruter hjemme setter Altibox-ruteren i bridge-mode. Men det er unødvendig å ha den som et ekstra ledd mellom deg og internett. Du kan like gjerne kople din egen ruter eller server rett på linjen. Denne trengs ikke Om du ikke har vært Altiboxkunde alt for lenge så har du en mediekonverter foran ruteren som leveres av Altibox. Da kopler du deg direkte i mediekonverteren. Har du ikke en mediekonverter er jobben litt mer innfløkt fordi du må direkte på fiberen med f.eks egen mediekonverter. ...
The iPad and iPhone has more than a few quirks web developers need to handle. One of them is being quite insistent on when to show and hide the on-screen keyboard. The default iPad behaviour, in all iOS versions, is to drop the keyboard between input fields, and to deny programmatically showing the keyboard on focus changes. It is only shown when the user taps an input field. While this is adequate for most situations, it can be really frustrating in cases of several fixed-width input fields in a row. ...
Det er vinter og tid for karamellpudding. I år lages den sous vide. Det er foreløpig vanskelig å finne konkrete fremgangsmåter på web, men fortvil ikke, etter litt prøving og feiling er oppskriften her — og resultatet blir perfekt hver gang. Oppskriften fungerer også fint for vanlig ovn. For 5 personer trengs: 3dl sukker til karamell (blir mer enn nok) ———— 1dl sukker til pudding 6dl lettmelk 3dl fløte 1 vaniljestang ...
Intel is pushing a new form factor, the Next Unit of Computing (NUC), and it is looking good. I recently got two of these and have some pictures and experiences to share. The NUCs have some exciting properties and a couple of gotchas, read on and avoid my mistakes. First of all the box itself has a small surprise. When it opens it plays the Intel jingle from some embedded electronics with a light-sensor and a speaker. Oh, the humanity. ...
Functional Programming, as a paradigm, does not have users, it has devotees. I am myself one of those, spending time in Haskell as often as I can. Why then, if it is so great, has FP not taken over the software development world? There are many answers to this question, ranging from the condescending (“is hard”, “has no practical use”) to the hopeful (“just haven’t reached critical mass”). This post is about another, often overlooked, fundamental reason: ...
The Raspberry Pi is a versatile and cheap piece of gear. While neat, it has pieces protruding from every side and as it turns out, this made it just slightly too wide for the enclosure I had in mind. No biggie, we can slim it down a bit. The parts bothering us the most are the RCA connector, the audio jack and the SD-card. This being 2013, we are not going to miss neither the RCA nor the old-school audio. ...
A lot of developers are experiencing the same problem: while all other browsers display your latest web creation perfectly, Chrome just downloads the script source file - yes, source. Several support threads describe the same problem, suggesting everything from security flaws and misconfigured servers to a chrome bug. The answer is simple: you visited your unfinished site in Chrome before it was configured correctly. Chrome correctly just downloaded your front page script file - and it has cached that result, showing it to you again and again. ...
