Starting on January 1, 2021, Croatia started offering 1-year digital nomad visas.

1k USD per month is the average monthly salary in Croatia, so you should be fine (especially in smaller cities), unless you overspend by eating out every day.

Here is a video of an American guy living in Split, Croatia (second largest city - very touristy and not that cheap) on $1,400 per month. He is spending $600 on food which means he eats out a lot. Locals spend way less than that on food. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkJSoBLHKaI


IBM has these monthly challenges called Ponder This, and this month's challenge is to factor 3 large numbers (~100 decimal digits). Have a look:

sweet!

I didn't know about this. Thanks for the link.


- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop

- HEADLINE: Add tablet mode similar to Windows 10

- DESCRIPTION: As far as I know, Ubuntu has no tablet mode, which makes it difficult to use with touch screen laptops like the Lenovo Yoga series

- ROLE/AFFILIATION: User


I'm adding +1 to this.

Got a Yoga for 3-4 months now, but still haven't managed to find some time to play with its configuration properly. What I've figured out so far: the laptop sends a special "key" (as in, special char is "pressed") when rotated over 180 degrees. This can serve as a trigger (but unfortunately, that key is different depending on the model of the Yoga). I have no idea how to make the screen rotation work. Making HiDPI options integer-only makes me still unable to set scaling properly and I have to resort to a "hack" (maximum resolution and then scaling all the interfaces using the tweaks tool). onboard package is a stability mess as a touchscreen keyboard.

I'm not forced to dual boot because of gaming. I'm forced to dual boot because I can't get the damn tablet experience for light browsing.


A fun way to use one of these is to decode images sent from weather satellites. We built a system to decode images from a Russian Meteor-M2 satellite by using a RTL-SDR, home made antenna and GNU radio (image gallery : http://meteor.amphinicy.com/). Unfortunately, we are located in the city center with a lot of RF noise and interference so images are not as clean as they could be.



Very cool. Is it possible to run it in VirtualBox/VM Ware?
