3-month review

Posted on 13 July 202113 July 2021 By antipaucity No Comments on 3-month review

I’ve been running an M1-powered MacBook Pro since late April. Here’s my experience so far: it Just Works™ That’s it That’s the tweet Want more? Sure! Battery life is bonkers-awesome! I can run for over a full working day with my VDI client, YouTube, web browser sessions, ssh, several chat apps (including video and audio…

results from running pi-hole for several weeks

Posted on 21 November 201623 November 2016 By antipaucity 5 Comments on results from running pi-hole for several weeks

I came across pi-hole recently – an ad blocker and DNS service that you can run on a Raspberry Pi in Raspian (or any Debian or Ubuntu (ie Debian-like)) system. Using pi-hole should obviate the need for running ad-blockers in your browser (so long as you’re on a network that is running DNS queries through pi-hole)….

draft day – the second football movie of the year

Posted on 22 October 2014 By antipaucity No Comments on draft day – the second football movie of the year

And while not as good as When The Game Stands Tall, still a very good movie. The parents’ guide warnings from IMDB may be helpful – there’s more language than needed for the story-telling, though I guess that’s what brought it into the PG13 range instead of PG. I’m not a huge fan of sports…

Posted on 5 May 201428 April 2014 By antipaucity 1 Comment on programming your home by mike riley

Mike Riley’s entry in The Pragmatic Programmers series, Programming Your Home – automating with Arduino, Android, and your computer – was a lot of fun. While I am not really in a position to do many of the mini projects given in the book (wrong type of house plus we rent), reading some of the…

germline by t c mcarthy

Posted on 28 April 201427 April 2014 By antipaucity 1 Comment on germline by t c mcarthy

As promised when I finished Mira Grant’s Newsflesh trilogy, I did read Germline by T C McCarthy. I wasn’t able to get into the second book of the trilogy (Exogene), and haven’t attempted the last (Chimera) – but Germline was amazing. A quick disclaimer first – this book is most certainly NOT for the faint of stomach,…

why nations fail by daron acemoglu and james a robinson

Posted on 16 April 20149 April 2014 By antipaucity 1 Comment on why nations fail by daron acemoglu and james a robinson

I first came across Why Nations Fail at my local Half Price Books. After seeing it on the shelves a couple times, but still being unsure about whether I really wanted to read it or not, I reserved it at my local library. Now I wish I had bought it (and likely will) – Daron…
