OP did you write the blog post or are you reposting? I’m mostly asking because I’d like to get your opinion on this book:

The only note taking app you’ll ever need, again.

Aegis seems to be the winner in this thread. Does anyone have experience with Tofu Authenticator for iOS?

These are great write ups. Much appreciated.

Crazy awesome setup! I noticed you had an enphase inverter next to your electrical meter, I assume for solar panels. Would you mind giving details about that system? What size array do you have and how efficient has it been? How are you monitoring the solar systems output?

I couldn’t agree more, this is how they get you. One of the things I miss the most about being a student is access to software. Auto desk gives you completely free access to their entire catalog as long as you’re a student. A professional license for AutoCAD or Revit will set you back $2000 a year or more, every year. However, If you work for a company they will probably pick that up but if you’re a freelancer or even if you work for a small firm, that licensing fee can be really costly.

I graduated with a BS in electrical engineering in May of this year. We used Matlab in multiple courses in the program. We were encouraged to purchase the student version of Matlab. However, all three professors in the program were 100% ok with students using Octave or whatever software you wanted, as long as the work got done.

Your professor sounds like a dick.

Love that label on the UDM Pro (router).

The article started out about software problems and ended up in a scathing critique of banking management. Good stuff.

If you use MATLAB software there is a FOSS alternative that can even run most M-files and uses mostly the same syntax.

GNU Octave
