MongoDB (3.2) is a kind of database-hipster at the moment – with improving support for spatial data. So it was time for me to discover some of it’s features concerning spatial data. As a GIS-user my first intention was to get some bigger simple (point) geodata into MongoDB. Part 1 covers this topic, part 2 will cover some spatial operations within MongoDB. I also want to do some performance checks between PostgreSQL/PostGIS and MongoDB related to geodata.
For one year I have tried to create my own YouTube Audio Player. I wanted something that can play my playlists and favorite music from YouTube, but I only wanted the sound – no video. In that case I usually used a separate browser-window or -tab and that was sometimes very annoying.
So this player is build on top of NodeJS and Electron and uses the Google API for all YouTube requests. The code and the structure is available on GitHub.
I am building a password manager on top of pass, which I use on a daily basis.
It is a submission to Hackaday’s Raspberry Pi Zero contest and the Link to all my build logs can be found here: https://hackaday.io/project/9564-rpi-zero-wifi-enabled-hardware-password-manager
Yesterday my Fedora 23 did not show up the 3G-Modem (USB) in Network Manager Mobile Connections (using KDE; Kerndel 4.3). Having a look with dmesg reported a registered modem…
I built myself a UMTS router. An extravagant one. Out of scotch tape and parts I found in my apartment. Here’s how.
First of all: This is not your usual router. This thing was initially built out of necessity: I had (and still have) an unlimited/uncapped mobile data plan for my tablet, which is not capable of doing wifi tethering for my phone. So as a student (read: lazy and cheap) I did not want to leave the four walls I call home dormitory just to watch Youtube videos on my phone.
Just yesterday I wandet to use my mobile (Nexus 5 / Android 5.1 CM 12.1) for connecting to the internet on my notebook (Fedora 22 / KDE Plasma 5). Connecting it via USB and activating USB-Tethering did something in network manager – but did not connect 🙁
Tom Scott recently showed off his ridiculous Emoji-Keyboard made out of 14 full-sized Keyboards. He did it with Windows. I am a Linux guy. So I made my own.
Stellen Sie sich vor, die Festplatte ihres ehemaligen Computers (was auch immer darauf war) taucht bei einem Fachhändler als Gebrauchtware zum Verkauf wieder auf. Ja, das gibt es in Lienz ! Man sollte vom Experten dann zumindest verlangen können dass keine Ihrer Daten darauf vorzufinden sind. Die Betonung liegt auf „sollte“…
Using the GRASS-commands Toolbox in QGIS 2.8.x LTR on Ubuntu resulted in: „Missing dependency. This algorithm cannot be run 🙁 „. The solution is very simple 🙂
So, once again the good old problem of installing Citrix receiver on a new installed Fedora 22 (KDE). This time I was surprised getting a really new Citrix receiver dated 30.6.2015 (today is the 1st of July). And surprise: No rpm-package 🙁
