Installation of ZFS on Linux hangs on Debian Wheezy

from Louwrentius [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
This article is no longer relevant. After a fresh net-install of Debian Wheezy, I was unable to compile the ZFS for Linux kernel module. I've installed apt-get install build-essential but that wasn't enough. The apt-get install debian-zfs command would just hang. I noticed a...

7 months ago
This is the keyboard layout I’m using for my custom keyboard that I generated, printed, and hand-wired. It’s a minimalistic keyboard of 35 keys and features an integrated trackball on the right-hand side. The keyboard layout started out as a direct copy of the T-34 keyboard...

At Amal, we have an AI chat bot that works over WhatsApp — allowing our customers to speak to their bank account, asking questions like “What’s my balance” and “How much have I spent on Uber’s this month?”. A problem we faced really early on when connecting to WhatsApp was that...

from Jonas Hietala [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
I haven’t done much blogging or game programming in a while but instead I’ve finished some school stuff. We completed the assembly course labs, which were pretty fun actually, and I managed to finally complete the electronics course I’ve been holding off on for like forever… But...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
