So yeah, i stumbled upon this math problem some time ago, yes, I did solve it eventually, but it was so much fun I thought I'd share it with you guys


Note how one of those two angles is outside of the inner triangle.

There have been rumors that future windows versions will be a cloud OS.

http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/windows-9-rumored-for-next-year-windows-10-to-be-cloud-os/

I would personally hate seing windows becoming a cloud OS, why not just take all our private files and send them to the NSA servers directly?

Anyways, just another reason to use linux

Ok, I just got a new idea to prevent spam bots from any site:

Have a input filed with a link before it that has over url parameters a randomley generated key, which is also set as a session variable. That link will have like a window pop-up with a seemingly random string which is actually based on that key, so you input that into the field and then the server checks for if it is matching.

Any thoughts on that?

So, I'm standing before a little web-dev issue that I can't figure out right now (yes, it is for OmnomIRC).
I need to write a function (JS) that returns true if:
 - This is the oirc instant of the currently open tab
 - If there is no oirc instant on the current tab if it is the instant of the last oirc visited
And false otherwise.

So basically I need to somehow detect stuff cross-tab

Any ideas on how to do so?
I thought about somehow the tabs registering themselves in local storage etc but idk, there is probably some better way....

Yep, I am re-writing sorunome.de - from scratch!
I've been working on it since quite some time now.
EDIT: public! www.sorunome.de

At first look it looks more or less the same like the current one, but the software behind it is so much more awesome!
First of all, every single request for that domain gets re-directed to the same php script, the url path as a parameter.
From there i check for if you want, let's say, an image.
Copying the image and then displaying it, pretty simple. But i also allowed it to server-side rescale it before sending - only by modifying the path!
Let's take a look: http://sorunome.reubenquest.net/*/75/media/knex/ballmachines/crazy/crazy_top.jpg
the /*/75/ is the important path, first you say width, then height. If it is * that means it'll get fixed to match the proportions. If you completley omit that you get the original.

Ok, images aside, the awesomeness just began!
When calling a normal page it looks it up in a database - the database only has the id, url fragment, the content. the title and te ref-id
The ref-id points to the other page where that is the child of, like ballmachines pointing to knex will be triggerd at /knex/ballmachines.
It also creates the naviagation out of that.

Wait, there is still another thing that makes it 20% cooler - the content is stored in BB-Code and gets parsed to HTML - with a self-written bb-code parser!
the bb-code parser also makes defining tags VERY easy.
This for example will create the [b] tag:
$bbParser->addTag('b',function($type,$s,$attrs,$bbParser){
        return '<b>'.$bbParser->parse($s).'</b>';
},[],'bold');
First parameter of addTag is the tag name, so b. The second one is the function that'll get called to parse that tag, the third one is a array of all attributes allowed, the 4th one is help text (not used yet, lol)
So for [url] it looks like this:
$bbParser->addTag('url',function($type,$s,$attrs,$bbParser){
        if (isset($attrs['url'])) {
                if (filter_var($attrs['url'],FILTER_VALIDATE_URL))
                        return '<a href="'.$attrs['url'].'">'.$bbParser->parse($s).'</a>';
                return $bbParser->returnBB($type,$s,$attrs);
        }
        if (filter_var($s,FILTER_VALIDATE_URL))
                return '<a href="'.$s.'">'.$s.'</a>';
        return $bbParser->returnBB($type,$s,$attrs);
},['url'],'Display URL');

So yeah, todos:

• GUI way of editing the DB, currently i use phpmyadmin
• comments on each page!
• Add bbCode parser whitelisting/blacklisting
• stuff?

Any thoughts/ideas?

I know, i don't have a nspire, but never the less, i found this nspire teacher software cd lying around, so i thought 'why not trying it out?'

Well, when i start it up it gives 'error' and i wonder if it is a wine error or not, and how to fix it?

So yeah, my server is getting a upgrade (twice ram, twice hdd, better calculation capabilities etc.)
So expect it to be offline soon for some time.
For those who are wondering why this is important, this are the services that'll be ofline shortley:
omnimaga image hoster
radio omnimaga
most of my bots
other stuff i forgot?
oh, yeah, all of jujus websites

Hey guys, I need help configuring postfix and dovecot on my server!
The thing is, sorunome.de is working there and if i still want mail i need it working, so i am trying to get it work with my reubenquest.net domain as of now.
But the bad thing is, i just don't manage it, even though i read thousands of tutorials on the internet, even read some of the 500 pages postfix book of my brother.....
well, what /does/ work, when ssh'd into the server sending a mail to me with '$ mail sorunome'. And reading those mails over imap.
What doesn't work: sending to [email protected] (i'm pretty sure i set up the mx record correcty)
Also, i tried to make an alias so that i could do '$ mail mail' (so that in future i could do [email protected] to redirect to my mail), also without success.
Sending from thunderbird won't work (maybe because thunderbird is trying to connect to imap.reubenquest.net, but i can't find a setting to change that).
Using connection security with SSL/TSL is working.
So yeah, i would be so happy if anyone could help me!

EDIT: Jim managed to fix it all, thank you so much jim!
