lspci by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
lspci is the name of several versions of CLI tools used in UNIX-like systems to query information about PCI devices in the system.
On Ubuntu 23.10, it is provided by the pciutils package, which is so dominant that when we say "lspci" without qualitication, that's what we mean.

How many Zettelkästen should I have? The answer is, most likely, only one for the duration of your life. But there are exceptions to this rule.
Fog computing by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
Our definition of fog computing: a system that uses the computational resources of individuals who volunteer their own devices, in which you give each of the volunteers part of a computational problem that you want to solve.
Folding@home and SETI@home are perfect example of that definition.
The Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy is a position at the University of Oxford, specifically within the Department of Physics. The chair was established in the early 17th century, named after the benefactor, Sir John Sedley, who provided funds for its creation.

**Cyberchase** is an American animated children's television series that focuses on teaching math and problem-solving skills. It is produced by PBS Kids and aimed at children aged 6 to 10.

The name "Mathnet" is also associated with a segment from the PBS children's television series "Square One Television," which originally aired in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In this context, Mathnet featured a duo of detectives who solved math-related crimes, integrating lessons about mathematical concepts into their stories.
Decimo can refer to a few different things depending on the context. However, one of the most common references is to Decimo, a software tool designed for small and medium-sized businesses to manage their invoicing and accounting processes.

As of my last knowledge update in October 2021, "Colby Granger" does not appear to refer to any widely recognized individual, brand, or concept. It is possible that it could refer to a private individual, a fictional character, or something of more local or niche significance that is not broadly documented in mainstream sources.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.

    You can publish local OurBigBook lightweight markup files to either https://OurBigBook.com or as a static website
