New year resolution: Donate 5$ to 1 FOSS project every month.

As 2013 comes to an end, I owe big thanks to a lot of wonderful FOSS people. I've been using many of these projects on a daily basis and I think its time to donate regularly, starting from Jan through Dec.(Did few times in the past) I'm listing few projects (so many out there, but choosing few that I'm using regularly) that I'd like to give a donation of 5$ (Cost of burger meal where I live), although its not much. Some of these are not accepting Flattr, so will be donating via CC/Paypal.

1. 
   

   PostgreSQL

   
   


2. 
   

   LibreOffice

   
   


3. 
   

   GIMP

   
   


4. 
   

   http://www.qbittorrent.org/

   
   


5. 
   

   VLC

   
   


6. 
   

   http://www.querydsl.com/

   
   


7. 
   

   Blender

   
   


8. 
   

   http://www.apache.org

   
   


9. 
   

   Ubuntu

   
   


10. 
    

    http://www.keepassx.org/

    
    


11. 
    

    http://calibre-ebook.com/

    
    


12. 
    

    http://www.inkscape.org/

    
    

If you get a chance to donate to one project, what that might be? Just wanted to know if there are some less known but quite useful projects that is in need of any kind of help (so that I can adjust the list). Also it might help anyone who are looking to donate few bucks, who knows?

Happy new year to you all! Enjoy!

More stupid questions about snow...

I'm a Californian that will be relocating to Helsinki. That being said, I don't understand the "rules" of living where it's cold. Once we got frost on our windshield in the morning. That was reason enough to not have to go to work. So, can you provide some insight on what it's like? Just every day stuff.

Here's what I know already, so if you can just add to this list... - People love wool socks. They are a necessity. You often knit them yourselves (or at least if you're not a "city Finn"). - You have little devices that warm up your cars in the morning. Awesome. - You HAVE to have a hat and gloves and scarf and good boots. Apparently flip flops are a good way to lose toes. I will invest in shoes (gore tex, high sides, blah blah blah). - Things are still open during the winter. This was amazing to me for some reason. You actually go out in the snow and dark and freezing?! I figured you were all just hibernating.

But really, do you go to a restaurant with all of your winter wear on? Where do you put it? Hang it on the back of a chair? Do you go out - like to a bar - in a huge coat? Are people freaking on the dance floor in giant goose down clothing like two State Puff marshmallow people trying to get it on?

Am I going to be able to get an orange home from the grocery store witout it turning to ice? I heard lettuce freezes on the way home. Fact or fiction?

Do you have to have a flashlight with you at all times?

Are there really little spikes you put on your shoes to deal with ice? Do you just put your beer out in the snow even though there are so many drunks there? I figured it would just be stolen - regardless of being the most "honest" city in the world...

Etc. etc. Kiitos.

Jagged Alliance: Flashback -- on kickstarter; promising a Linux version and a DRM free option (11days, $170'000 left)

Jagged Alliance 2 was one of the best games I ever played and brings back great, great memories. The team seems to be very motivated, and able to create great value and be faithful to the series. And they want to provide it for Linux!

I wasn't aware of this project, and didn't find it in the search of this subreddit. So, I figured you guys might appreciate the good news.

The link is below. They offer some quite interesting rewards...

Steam for Linux: Sale!

Out of 98,569 words in my /usr/share/dict/words, one pair has a CRC32 collision. The pair is "codding" and "gnu".

I was reading through High Performance MySQL today, and when talking about HASH indexes and frequency of CRC32 collisions they offhandedly mention that even in the relatively small sample of /usr/share/dict/words there is a collision, and show that the words are "codding" and "gnu".

I found this a striking coincidence: something as arbitrary as the one CRC32 collision in 100,000 words packaged with the OS is a word that is also the collective name of the foundational command line utilities that make up said OS? Depending on who you ask, part of the very name of the OS? So I wrote a quick Perl script to investigate for myself:

cat /usr/share/dict/words | perl -e 'use String::CRC32; my %crcs; while(<>) { chomp($_); $crc = crc32($_); if(exists $crcs{$crc}) { push(@{ $crcs{$crc} },$_) } else { $crcs{$crc} = [$_]; } } foreach (keys %crcs) { @words = @{$crcs{$_}}; printf "%u: %s (%d word%s)\n", $_,join(",",@words),$#words+1,"s"x($#words<=>0); }' | grep "words)" 

And sure enough, out came

1774765869: codding,gnu (2 words)

And nothing else. Quite the coincidence. Unless RMS is secretly purging the wordlist of any other rogue collisions...

What is your ssd setup and why?

I recently picked up a 90GB ssd as an upgrade to my desktop. My original thought was to mount / on the ssd and /home on my old hdd. The reasoning being that it would speed things up and not limit the size of /home.

After reading a bit it seems due to the limited write/rewrite of an ssd, people are mounting /tmp and /var with tmpfs and either putting swap on an hdd or setting swappiness to 0.

What are your thoughts and/or how is your ssd machine set up and why?
