I was hoping for a floating point rounding bug in performance tuning or some such. This is just plain ol mis-management.

My wifi password is "there's a space in it".
mruby is making ruby more lua-like (embeddable, etc.). If this project does AOT compilation well, we might be able to shave lots of interpreter overhead from Ruby for some applications.
I say some applications because there are still people using Ruby to write non-web things, and I doubt if this project will ever support Rails in the short term
Yeah, Rails would be a long ways off, if it ever happens at all. But I could see a use for a compiled Sinatra app, and that seems attainable in my lifetime. :-)

My son's laptop screen kept shutting off while he was playing American Truck Simulator. His truck would drive off the road while the screen was black.
Every time I played on his laptop, this did not happen. He swore he was cursed.
This went on for many days, with many instances where it would happen for him but not for me. Then one day I just sat and observed him while he played, looking for any difference. That's when I noticed his watch band is metal with a magnetic clasp. The position of his wrist on the laptop was tripping the hall sensor, making the laptop think the lid was closed.
Him and I (and his mother) were glad to find out he is not cursed. :-D

I built this kit over the weekend. It was so much fun! I was able to get my MailStation on the wifi, run msTERM, and connect with telnet to klud.ge.
jcs did a great job designing and documenting this project. Highly recommend you try it out.

Thanks for sharing this. I’d always wondered how NAT works and this explanation worked well for me. Nice bit of investigation too!

I’m on mobile, so this page confused me. My eye skipped right over the button at the top of the page to launch the browser. But reading the comments made me look again. This is really cool! Though I’ll definitely want to try this on a desktop computer later...
