Urs Gaudenz manufactures Open.Theremin kits using his do it yourself pick and place machine which he built from low cost scanner, ink jet printer, DVD player mechanics and some Arduino controlling. Even his solder oven is Arduino controlled!
This is months of work showing a work flow in a 11 minute youtube video. Well done!

I had this occurring on my system:
RetinaMBPro1TB:~ jeroenp$ brew update error: unable to unlink old 'Library/ENV/pkgconfig/10.11/libcurl.pc' (Permission denied) error: unable to unlink old 'Library/ENV/pkgconfig/10.11/libxml-2.0.pc' (Permission denied) error: unable to unlink old 'Library/ENV/pkgconfig/10.11/sqlite3.pc' (Permission denied) To restore the stashed changes to /usr/local run: 'cd /usr/local && git stash pop' Already up-to-date.
This is how I solved it:
RetinaMBPro1TB:~ jeroenp$ ls -al /usr/local | grep -w Library drwxr-xr-x+ 11 jeroenp admin 374 Mar 9 19:33 Library RetinaMBPro1TB:~ jeroenp$ sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/Library/ Password: RetinaMBPro1TB:~ jeroenp$ brew update To restore the stashed changes to /usr/local run: 'cd /usr/local && git stash pop' Updated Homebrew from d32996d to 638d755. ==> New Formulae ... ==> Updated Formulae ... ==> Renamed Formulae ... ==> Deleted Formulae ... RetinaMBPro1TB:~ jeroenp$
The above solution is based on major python problems · Issue #48301 · Homebrew/homebrew
After that, I could install plantuml (which requires java, just so you know) so now I can create SVGs from it locally:
plantuml -tsvg PSO.network-diagram.PlantUML.txt
Note I had to edit the formula so it installs plantuml-8037 or higher (the git version back then installed plantuml-8031) as it fixed a namespace bug. Since plantuml releases often, be prepared to do some version fiddling.

I don’t often read code, but when I do, I print it.
For I a very long time, I’ve been formatting code until about 130 characters width and recently remembered out why:
… remember printing in landscape allowed 132 characters.At Uni, I used to regularly print my code on green bar paper…
Source: Is it common to print out code on paper? – Programmers Stack Exchange
It got back memories of working on VT102 terminals and Hercules Graphics Cards adapters doing VAX-VMS (FORTRAN and Pascal) and DOS (Turbo Pascal) programming. The VT102 could do 132 columns (the VT52 only 80) and it was no coincidence that most HGC could do 132 columns as well.
Printing was usually on green-bar paper (in Dutch “zebra-papier”) which was 132 columns wide in landscape form on most line printers.

In my case this is about a Philips 42PFL7676H TV, but this likely applies to many Philips TVs from the 2009-2012 era.
According to nmap, these ports are open:
PORT STATE SERVICE REASON VERSION
1925/tcp open unknown syn-ack
2323/tcp open 3d-nfsd? syn-ack
49153/tcp open upnp syn-ack Philips Intel UPnP SDK 1.4 (Philips Smart TV; UPnP 1.0; DLNADOC 1.50)
TCP port 1925 is actually implementing the jointSPACE REST API over HTTP which has some nice documentation (also locally on your TV).
PCremote implements this and is easy to install: just download (or git clone) the html locally or to a web-server and try it, or even easier: browse to the www.netdata.be/tv site. You can even use it on your Raspberry Pi. There is also support for jointSPACE it in agocontrol.
Two nice threads about it from the Philips support forum:
TCP port 2323 seems to be the voodooport which should enable you to do DirectFB Voodoo.
Jean-Marc Harvengt (software engineer at Philips) showed a nice demo (see video below) on using VooDoo. I wish he had published the source code.
TCP port 49153 also hosts an HTTP server. The base URL I could find information about is 192.168.71.115:49153/nmrDescription.xml It seems that nmrDescription.xml has to do with DLNA and upnp.
Later on I found that my brothers 32PFL7675H TV should also support JointSPACE, but that it had to be activated:
AFTER upgrading to the new firmware, jointSPACE NEEDS TO BE ACTIVATED by entering the following digits sequence while watching TV (WatchTV activity): “5646877223”
Source: jointSPACE TVs Developers
Before activation, only port was open 49153. After that, port 2323 was open as well. But the www.netdata.be/tv app doesn’t work on this TV. This does work however: Philips MyRemote – Android Apps on Google Play

Interesting read:
SourceTree is the middleman between you and Git, making it really easy to change your commit history through a simple user interface. You can drag and drop commits to reorder them or squash them, you can delete commits, reword the commit messages, edit them, or just leave them be.

There is a great description for Windows users at: the urban canuk, eh: Configure SourceTree to Rebase by default
Note that this is a global setting for git (which you can override each time you do a pull). So there is no way to differentiate this by repository.
The screenshots for Mac OS X users to configure SourceTree to perform git rebase by default are these:

For my Link Archive via linux port forwarding to external ip – Google Search:
Need to look at this more closely, but it looks like you need PREROUTING, FORWARD and POSTROUTING and two NATs (DNAT and SNAT), as this graph from Port Forwarding Using iptables – SysTutorials shows:
PACKET IN
|
PREROUTING--[routing]-->--FORWARD-->--POSTROUTING-->--OUT
- nat (dst) | - filter - nat (src)
| |
| |
INPUT OUTPUT
- filter - nat (dst)
| - filter
| |
`----->-----[app]----->------'

I had this error when building my Delphi app and needing detailed MAP files.
Somehow, then Delphi also tries to generate .drc files and fails.
Performing the “F2039 Could not create output file” drc – Google Search didn’t reveal much.
So I fired up Process Monitor and looked for file access patterns (see dump below), that all were OK.
Then I opened Windows Explorer and saw freshly generated .DRC files marked as some type of VLC Player file. I’ve had loads of trouble with VLC in the past, but I inherited this PC so I didn’t notice VLC Player was installed by the previous developer.
Lesson learned: when starting a gig, always request a fresh PC
So I uninstalled VLC Player and now everything works fine.
Oh btw: .DRC files are Delphi Resource String files.
