Github itself is a Github project, therefore using anything other than the API would be some code duplication. Merging, Pull-Requests, Branches, Issues: all this is already covered when using the normal API.

I'm sure it could be "more efficient" when having code explicitely for this purpose, but then again you have to maintain to different code bases which do the same.

Besides that it's a shame that the option to just get the stream running in VLC is such a hassle (with VLC I get much lower CPU usage + the ability to freely move and resize the video and place it somewhere on my second screen, even fullscreen)

Atleast the archlinux.org forum has the geekiest "Captcha"-system I came across so far:

    What is the output of "date -u +%W$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"?

Oh sorry. Came across this story today and didn't check the post for a correct date.

XBMC For Android 14 years ago

Yeah, "leaked" is quite a statement here. The full source code is on github. Should be clear that someone will post a debug build of that, right?

I'm currently reading it. It gives a rather basic C introduction (I skipped it) but then it goes into explaining how to inject shell codes, using buffer overflows and getting deep into the assembly of programs. It's definitely great for a start.

Hacker Typer 14 years ago

Your code breaks for me when the "hacker-typed" text reaches an UTF-8 symbol (← for example)

Wow. I really like the concept but I'm missing some more features for my own use.

Is it open source? That would be great to hack on it. Or does it atleast have an API? That way I could script some more functionality.

Arch Linux turns 10 14 years ago

3 machines running on Arch Linux and no major issues up to now.

It's just perfect for me. I love how easy it is to quickly build a new package (not that I need to write PKGBUILDS myself often, most things are available in the AUR)

Happy Birthday!
