My 2011 Mac Mini was running so slowly, that I decided to back up it’s entire hard disk, and switch to Ubuntu. For the backup process, I opted to boot into a live Ubuntu environment, then use dd to copy the entire hard drive to a USB external hard drive. I can’t remember the exact […]

I have an ASUS K35e which has been a great laptop for the past several years. Recently I got into using virtual machines for many tasks, and the stock 4GB of RAM no longer cut it; my computer ran very slowly during this work. I did some research and I couldn’t get a straight answer […]

Airsoft- will using propane give a risk of explosion?

July 16, 2016

| Category: Airsoft

It’s flammable, so there is that risk, yes. It’s not going to explode on it’s own though. You might want to take a look at some videos of people shooting propane tanks. Simply shooting them isn’t enough to make them go boom, you actually have to put a road flare or sparkler (ignition source) near […]

How to create a Python virtual environment for OpenBazaar

You may run into errors when running OpenBazaar-Server. One common error is this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "openbazaard.py", line 8, in &lt;module&gt;
   import stun
ImportError: No module named stun

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "openbazaard.py", line 8, in <module>

import stun

ImportError: No module named stun

This happens because Python (which is running OpenBazaar-Server) doesn’t have access to the Python module, stun. If you have already run the command, pip install -r requirements.txt, but you’re still seeing the above error, try creating a python virtual environment for […]

swagger project test shows [SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier]

I’ve been working with Swagger to make an API server. With it, I created https://myopenbazaar.top. Pretty cool software, but I found testing with it pretty confusing. Swagger abstracts away mochajs, and for whatever reason, Swagger was hiding a stack trace of a failure when I was doing testing.
