My son's laptop screen kept shutting off while he was playing American Truck Simulator. His truck would drive off the road while the screen was black.

Every time I played on his laptop, this did not happen. He swore he was cursed.

This went on for many days, with many instances where it would happen for him but not for me. Then one day I just sat and observed him while he played, looking for any difference. That's when I noticed his watch band is metal with a magnetic clasp. The position of his wrist on the laptop was tripping the hall sensor, making the laptop think the lid was closed.

Him and I (and his mother) were glad to find out he is not cursed. :-D

I built this kit over the weekend. It was so much fun! I was able to get my MailStation on the wifi, run msTERM, and connect with telnet to klud.ge.

jcs did a great job designing and documenting this project. Highly recommend you try it out.

I’m on mobile, so this page confused me. My eye skipped right over the button at the top of the page to launch the browser. But reading the comments made me look again. This is really cool! Though I’ll definitely want to try this on a desktop computer later...

I’ve been wanting to learn scheme. I think this would be a good opportunity!

Question: should I go with Racket or Chicken Scheme?

timmorgan | 8 years ago | on: DO Installer – An installer for getting apps running quickly on DigitalOcean

Well, hello! This is my project -- I didn't expect to see it posted here!

It is as jgh said: "it's basically just a script that provisions a new digitalocean instance via the DO api, installs dependencies, and builds/installs/runs the program."

I built it specifically so people could easily install my open source church software OneBody by clicking a button on the website here: https://church.io/onebody/

If I would have known guests were coming, I would have cleaned up a bit! The CSS looks horrible on mobile I just realized.

Anyway, thanks for posting!

This is great. Good work!

My entire family is currently using Path as a small social network and share a lot there. I'd love to move us to something we can control and where the data (esp. photos) aren't locked away in a proprietary system. Does this (or Gnu Social) support protected accounts, where permission must be given for people to see and follow accounts?
