Susikurk savo pažintinį taką

· 2 min read

Pirmiausia noriu paminėti puikų projektą Lietuvon.lt, kurio dėka esu atradęs daugybę įdomių pažintinių takų ar lankytinų vietų visoje Lietuvoje.

Tačiau Lietuvos gamta, esanti taip šalia, gali pavirsti pažintiniu taku ir be tako žymėjimo ar informacinės lentelės.

Šiuo noriu pasidalinti, kaip pasileisti į nuotykį savo apylinkėse su žemėlapiu rankoje.

Linux experience in macOS

· 7 min read

I am often switching between a MacBook and a Linux desktop. From time to time I invest a bit of energy to nudge MacBook UX to be more like the UX I have on my Arch Linux installation. I mostly use command line tools so common UX is not that far of a stretch.

This article will overview various tools that I have found useful for this task.

TLDR: turning off HyperThreading in BIOS bumped up FPS in VR from ~60 during starts to solid 90.

I have just recently started iRacing and this week I was racing quite a bit in the Lime Rock Park with MX-5. Unfortunately I used to get around 60 FPS during starts and that is a very tense part of the race. Every frame counts during those moments. Since I have a pretty decent system, I though I should be able to get more FPS in VR.

Bitkoino vertė

Užmačiau keletą žmonių sakančių, kad bitkonai neturi vertės, niekas jų vertės nekontroliuoja ar panašiai. Manau tokie argumentai kyla dėl informacijos stygiaus. Šiek tiek paskaičiau ir sudėliojau keletą argumentų, kodėl bitkoinai turi vertę.

Appliance control using a mobile phone and SMS messages

· 4 min read

Hey, how are you doing? (: Since there was a week between the end of the GSoC and the start of my studies, I decided to do some hobby hacking.

I have some remote (50 km away) appliances (electric heater) that I would like to control from wherever I am. The SMS service is a very compelling solution for this kind of problem. The main challenge is to figure out how to make a mobile phone to a relay that can switch on and off things.

Query results chart

· 3 min read

Hello,

while the code for generating charts for the status page and the profiling page was more or less trivial, code for the query results will be more complicated. This is because of the dynamic data structure that query results can have. You can get any number of rows and columns as a result. Also the data in the result is composite - there are strings, numbers, dates, etc.. Not everything is suitable for one chart or another.
