    isync: free IMAP and MailDir mailbox synchronizer
    isync: free IMAP and MailDir mailbox synchronizerisync is a command line application which synchronizes mailboxes; currently Maildir and IMAP4 mailboxes are supported. New messages, message deletions and flag changes can be propagated both ways. isync is suitable for use in IMAP-disconnected mode.Synchronization is based on unique message identifiers (UIDs), so no identification conflicts can occur (as opposed to some other mail synchronizers).Synchronization state is kept in one local text file per mailbox pair; multiple replicas of a mailbox can be maintained.isync is free software in the sense of the GNU GPL v2.

    Detecting Agile bullshit

    The department of defense, has published a nice document to “detect” agile bullshit. The document is called DIB_DETECTING_AGILE_BS_2018.10.05 and was published on October 2018.

    We saved a copy on our site, because we think it is very very interesting…

    Fail2Ban

    On these days I decided to tune a bit more, my new shiny linux server box. I started to set up fail2ban. I think fail2ban is very imporant nowadays because it is a good example of a tool for slowing down attacks without closing your server too much.

    I am studying Apache Kafka (a "distributed streaming platform") and I stumbled upon this conclusion: the "disk read fear" a lot of projects have in the past, is a fake.

    A lot of distributed database started tutorial with the statement "disk read are slow, write are fast" which is true to some extent, and accounted for de-normalizing data and memory caches.

    Collapsible widgets are a popular way to create sections of content that can contract and expand. There are a ton of different implementations out there. Here, thanks to checkbox input elements, label elements and the :checked pseudo-selector, we’ll be able create such widget without the need for extra JavaScript.

    On this Christmas, a lot of us will pay more then $1000 for a new iPhone XY or for a similar Samsung one (twice the price of a netbook) and you will have in your hand a quite powerful machine: for instance iPhone used as Theorem Prover is faster then an Intel Workstation (!)

    Hyper VM Troubleshooting

    Sometimes your windows' HyperV Hypervisor will refuse to start.

    The problem is tricky because the services seems started if you check them. Also the installation is successful, virtualization is enabled and so on. So what is wrong?

    In the 1980, privacy was a lot easier to acquire. Banks can harvest information on us, but the limited computer power was a big limiting factor to their analyzing dreams. 

    For years Banks have computed the best credit options (for them) to sell to customers. Now the problem is on privacy. Google Plex can crunch a lot of data in a snap, Facebook sells our advertising target profile, and a lot of other companies can predict our ability to pay a loan or our future health for insurance reasons.

    Sembra che il governo a trazione "Legista Stellare" voglia farsi buttare fuori dall'Europa.

    Show come la scarpata di Ciocca oppure sperare che la Russia ci paghi il debito, sono goffi tentativi di nascondere una incompetenza notevole, che peraltro traspare da pasticci multipli, manine e altro.

    The ZilogZ80 CPU is an 8-bit based microprocessor. It was introduced by Zilog in 1976 as the startup company's first product. The Z80 was conceived by Federico Faggin in late 1974. The Z80 was software compatible (!) with the Intel 8080 machine language. It added several extensions and was the heart of the ZX Spectrum.

    Why Arduino UNO rocks

    After some years in IoT, I tried a bunch of different platform like esp8266 but Arduino remains a must.

    Simple reason to choose it for your first (or second :) IoT project:

    1. Arduino works at 5V and can accept as input voltage 7-12V, but with limit up to 20V (avoid it! :).
      This mean you can use a wide range of power supply (4 AA Batteries, 12V transformer from your dead router and so on)
    2. Arduino board provides a 5V regulated output and a 3.3V too for working with a wide range of sensors.
    3. You got 6 Analog2Digital pins (the A0...A5 pins) with a 0..1024 value resolution. In comparison, esp8266 has only one pin with less resolution.
    4. It is completly open source, so you can find easily cheap clones like this one at less then 10 euros.
    5. The ATmega328P chip inside Arduino provide I2C and SPI communication which means you can easily work with other chip.
      You can even program an Arduino to be an I2C client to other Arduinos making a small set of complex circuits.
      For instance, the C/64 SID chip emulator can be compiled to act like a I2C slave and another Arduino can program it like...a SID chip
    6. Did I talk about the real time operating system, written by an italian guy?....  I was able to use it to build a small "Egg box Lamp".
