Koalemos is apparently a Greek God of stupidity... Perfect fit! The idea is to make my life easier when it comes to managing virtual machines that utilise the KVM hypervisor. Normally as someone who loves open source I would use virt-manager but...
My goal is to migrate my current Arduino IoT platform code into the ESP01S chipset (8266). What I really want is to achieve a rock-solid ish uptime so I do not need to worry that it will just crash and be in that state for days before I realise that it went south.
Recently I have picked up few ESP01s boards as an addition to my IoT Platform arsenal (Arduino is kinda nailed 101% at the moment). However regardless what I did (and I did read quite a few tutorials) that thing did not want to output any meaningful serial information nor it was going to connect to a wifi network...
Super basics of the Huffman compression algorithm (do more research if this sparks your interest). Lets say that we have a string of characters:
012102
Now lets do a simple mapping of characters to bits,
0 = 0
1 = 10
2 = 11
So the above string would end up looking like this in binary: 0101110011
Once we got that lets have a quick think about how many bits it takes to represent our string:
10 (bits) / 6 (characters) = 1.666 bits per character.
Since my WordPress site has been compromised few months back I have been advised to take certain steps in order for this not to happen again so that I can just enjoy a working site without any interruptions. Here are few tools that have helped me to keep my site healthy and happy:
1) WordFence:
Super useful plugin that allows you to scan your website for vulnerabilities.
