Building libcurl and openssl on windows statically

Building static libcurl and openssl on Windows

These instructions were tested on Windows 7 Professional w/ Visual Studio 2010

Building openssl

  1. Download the latest openssl from the website; at the time of this writing, it is 1.0.0d
  2. Extract it to your drive; I put it in c:\code\openssl-1.0.0d
  3. install ActiveState perl unless you already have a non-cygwin perl installed on windows

How to use a custom word list with OS X's "Word of the Day" screensaver

OS X's "Word of the Day" screensaver is a great way to passively learn words:

But I've always thought that its word list kind of stunk—it was full of obscure words that I could never really see myself using. I'd prefer something like Norman Schur's 1000 Most Important Words. What if you could plug your own word list into the screensaver?

On a rather obscure comment thread, someone explained where you might find the word list that Apple uses to power the screensaver. It is at /System/Library/Graphics/Quartz\ Composer\ Plug-Ins/WOTD.plugin/Contents/Resources/NOAD_wotd_list.txt. The file looks like this:

m_en_us1282510	quinsy
var reducePath = function (x, y, entryOffset, rangeOffset, entryRequiredWall, entryDisallowedWall) {
var rangeEntryRequiredDirections = [entryDisallowedWall, OppositeDirections[entryDisallowedWall]];
var rangeEntryDisallowedDirections = [entryRequiredWall, OppositeDirections[entryRequiredWall]];
var endDisallowedDirections = [OppositeDirections[entryRequiredWall], OppositeDirections[entryDisallowedWall]];
var endRequiredDirections = [entryRequiredWall, entryDisallowedWall];
var tile = tiles[x][y];
var color = tile.color;
var entry = tiles[x+entryOffset[0]][y+entryOffset[1]];

Home Server setup: Raspberry PI on Internet via reverse SSH tunnel

Raspberry Pi on Internet via reverse SSH tunnel

HackerNews discussed this with many alternative solutions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24893615

I already have my own domain name: mydomain.com. I wanted to be able to run some webapps on my Raspberry Pi 4B running perpetually at home in headless mode (just needs 5W power and wireless internet). I wanted to be able to access these apps from public Internet. Dynamic DNS wasn't an option because my ISP blocks all incoming traffic. ngrok would work but the free plan is too restrictive.

I bought a cheap 2GB RAM, 20GB disk VM + a 25GB volume on Hetzner for about 4 EUR/month. Hetzner gave me a static IP for it. I haven't purchased a floating IP yet.
