I recently needed to go on holiday, and was staying in a hotel with WiFi. Out of an abundance of paranoia, I decided to try setup a “router” that could sit between my devices and the hotel network.
Requires a USB wifi NIC in addition because the Pi has only one wireless interface.
I don't know why they needed to name a travel router this, but whatever.
Webcrawlers/bots often identify themselves in the user agent string. Well it turns out, up until now, a huge majority of my bandwidth usage has come from bots scraping my site thousands of times a day.
A robots.txt file can advertise that you don't want bots to crawl your site. But it's completely voluntary—a bot may happily ignore it and scrape your site anyway. And I'm fine with webcrawlers indexing my site, so that it might be more discoverable. It's the bandwidth hogs that I want to block.
There are loads of RSS feed-building services out there, and I'm sure they do the job just fine. But when it comes to this website, I like taking the amateur DIY route as much as I can.
In this tutorial, you will learn ways to import pre-existing cloud resources before you continue to develop the IaC in Terraform. This guide will provide you with an IaC import scenario which is often faced by teams starting to adopt Terraform for their operations.

A blog post detailing OpenAI's IP ranges and suggestions for blocking them.
A quick post today showing some different ways to block visitors via their IP address. This can be useful for a variety of reasons, including stopping some stupid script kiddie from harassing your site, or preventing some creepy stalker loser from lurking around your forums, or even silencing the endless supply of angry trolls that never seem to get a clue. So many reasons why, and so many ways to block them.
This guide will explain some ways to set up a VoIP ATA so that you can place calls between computers with modems (although any other pair of telephone devices will work.) When done, you will be able to:
Note that this does NOT involve setting up Asterisk!
Legend has it that once upon a time a networking instructor named Bob taught a class of students a method of subnetting any address using a special chart. This was known as the Bob Maneuver. These students, being the smart type that networking students usually are, added a row to the top of the chart and the Enhanced Bob Maneuver was born. The chart and instructions on how to use it follow. With practice, you should be able to subnet any address and come up with an IP plan in under a minute. After all, it's just math!
Three traditional BBS-circulated documents about the QWK format, based on reverse engineering; the official spec, excerpted from the documentation of 1stReader; and the official QWKE specification, all re-formatted with Markdown. Although I consider some of this material to be inaccurate, I’ve tried to avoid editing for content, except to remove references to web sites, boards and addresses that are no longer working.
This article, Stupid .htaccess Tricks, covers just about every .htaccess “trick” in the book, and easily is the site’s most popular resource. I hope that you find it useful, and either way thank you for visiting :)
The Amazing All-Band Receiver is basically a diode detector followed by a high-gain audio amplifier. This is not a multi-band receiver; it picks up everything at once! The detector uses a biased Schottky diode for excellent sensitivity and bandwidth; the detector will detect signals from below the AM broadcast band up to the microwave bands. The number of interesting signals is surprising; it is fun to drive around listening to the numerous strange sounds.
By trying different antennas and locations, this receiver has picked up AM radio stations, FM stations, TV video (buzz), car lock transmitters, cell phones, and even the microwave oven (a whoosh-whoosh sound as the microwave spreader rotated). It isn't clear how FM stations are demodulated; perhaps the antenna Q is sufficient for slope detection. (See reader Karen's excellent theory.) Even the familiar buzz from a narrow-band FM pager transmitter has been heard - somehow. There are some mysterious signals out there, too! What is that occasional descending whistle over by the highway? Some vehicles emit a curious buzz, too. If you hear a mysterious click-click now and then, its your cell phone! Don't expect to tune in international shortwave stations. This receiver is for strong, local sources. The advanced experimenter will find it useful as a detector section for low power tuned receivers.

FREETONE by Stuart Semple contains 1280 colours including digital versions of his Pinkest Pink, Incredibly Kelinish Blue, Black 3.0 and TIFF.
A SIMPLE & TOTALLY FREE COLOUR PALETTE PLUGIN FOR ADOBE
That unlocks a whole books worth of very Pantone-ish colours.
1280 Liberated colours are extremely Pantoneish and reminiscent of those found in the most iconic colour book of all time. In fact it's been argued that they are indistinguishable from those behind the Adobe paywall.
Cost: Nothing. Click through the cart and you don't have to pay (unless you want to leave a tip).
