The only simple way to do SSH in Python today is to use subprocess + OpenSSH...
#!/usr/bin/python
# All SSH libraries for Python are junk (2011-10-13).
# Too low-level (libssh2), too buggy (paramiko), too complicated
# (both), too poor in features (no use of the agent, for instance)
# Here is the right solution today:
import subprocess
import sys

This Windows 10 Setup Script turns off a bunch of unnecessary Windows 10 telemetery, bloatware, & privacy things. Not guaranteed to catch everything. Review and tweak before running. Reboot after running. Scripts for reversing are included and commented. Fork of https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script (different defaults). N.…

Making a OVA file compatible with VMWare

This is a recipe to fix this error when importing to VMWare an OVA file:

Download and install OVFTool (https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/ovf/)

Convert OVA to VMX using the command below (this will create example.vmx)

$ ovftool example.ova example.vmx

Poor-man's LEDBlinky with RetroPie and Pac-Drive

NOTE: This Gist was an early write-up of this blog post, part of what became an eleven-part series on my arcade cabinet. I'd suggest you read that post instead of this, but some of the comments on this Gist contain updates and field reports that you might find useful.

RetroPie, LED control, and you

I wanted LEDBlinky-style functionality out of my RetroPie cabinet. But I didn't need RGB control or magical frontend integration or anything like that. I had buttons with simple single-color LEDs.

I've got a simple control panel with six buttons per player. All I wanted was this:

  • When I launch Street Fighter 2, all twelve buttons should light up.
  • When I launch The Simpsons, only the first two buttons for each player should light up.
