I'm actually using Johnny decimal now, except that I ended up using 100 buckets instead of 10 because some of the categories simply had too many items in them and they would have overflowed or had no room to grow in them otherwise.

It's so nice to have a good system and never doubt where to find something and where to put a new thing.

I switched from our previous mess to Johnny decimal by using a python script that processed a table in an emacs org mode file. The script filled the rows in the table with the file and directory names and I could then assign a category to each file or directory and say what the script should do to them. Then the script showed the outline of my Johnny decimal system so I could check that's what I wanted. This made it easy to play around with possible categories for all my existing stuff until I was satisfied. In the end it copied all the files to their new home.

Thanks for creating Johnny Decimal.

That’s amazing to hear. Thank you!

I have come across situations where you need more than 10, yes. I plan on addressing it in a future post on the site.

If you’re able to share, I’d love to know more about your case. If not, no stress. hello@johnnydecimal.com.

Johnny.Hexadecimal?

That sounds very interesting. I'm sure /r/emacs and /r/orgmode would be interested in reading about that. :)

I use keepass, and I whipped up a quick script to look all the passwords in my keepass file against the hashes in the list. You have to download and unpack the file first.

Here is my script: https://gist.github.com/martinhansdk/de8b27934adf9580aebf2e4...

I got a bunch of hits, so time to change some passwords...

EDIT: fixed link, thanks jstanley

That URL is a 404 page, even with the trailing dots removed.

I think this is the URL you meant: https://gist.github.com/martinhansdk/de8b27934adf9580aebf2e4...

I'm afraid that's not possible. There are, however solutions that help making it easier to endure. Here is one: http://www.oticon.global/solutions/accessories/tinnitus-soun...

Ambitious! What kind of propulsion system will it have? How far did you get at this point? Where are you based?

Electric propulsion. I have some very promising aero designs that I hope to get into a (virtual) wind tunnel. Bay area.

I'm building a two person research submarine with some friends. Targeted diving depth: 100m

I have an electronics/IT background so building something so mechanical is a fun learning experience.

Now that's cool. Do you have some automated way of testing it or will you be in it on the first test at that depth?

I imagine that the first test pilot will be a computer. Submarines are really nicely simple systems, which is why it is possible for a bunch of amateurs to build one.

that's awesome, how do you plan on waterproofing all the openings?

The port holes will be acrylic windows in a window frame with O-ring seals. The O-ring will be placed on the side facing away from the water such that when the pressure rises on the window, the pressure on the seal rises as well, making it even more water proof. Same idea for the hatch.

Love it !!

I am repairing an old analog synthesizer (Siel Kiwi) with a missing CPU and the CPU board in a bad state.

I can't get such a CPU in the right package anymore, so I'm writing an emulator for it which will run on a more modern, much faster MPU. That alone replaces the CPU, RAM, and ROM. The remaining stuff on the board is lots of I/O both analog and digital which I'm planning to replace with something more modern, like a DAC with 32 channels instead of the many chips and opamp sample-hold circuits that are on the original board.
