How to stop adverts appearing on your Samsung TV

I'm getting adverts in my TV's UI, help!

Samsung's otherwise excellent 2016 range of UHD TVs received an update that added advertisements to the UI. This has been complained about at great length on Samsung's forums and repeatedly, Samsung have refused to add an option to remove them.

The ads interrupt the clean UI of the TV and are invasive. Here's an example of how they look:

This guide was originally posted on Samsung's TV forums but unfortunately, that site is a super-slow and barely accessible unusable mess.

Persistent pipes/circular buffers for Linux

📂 Persistent "pipes" in Linux

In a project I'm working on I ran into the requirement of having some sort of persistent FIFO buffer or pipe in Linux, i.e. something file-like that could accept writes from a process and persist it to disk until a second process reads (and acknowledges) it. The persistence should be both across process restarts as well as OS restarts.

AFAICT unfortunately in the Linux world such a primitive does not exist (named pipes/FIFOs do not persist

Automounting NFS share in OS X into /Volumes

I have spent quite a bit of time figuring out automounts of NFS shares in OS X...

Somewhere along the line, Apple decided allowing mounts directly into /Volumes should not be possible:

/etc/auto_master (see last line):

#
# Automounter master map
#

+auto_master # Use directory service

PHP Endpoint for Github Webhook URLs

PHP Endpoint for Github Webhook URLs

If you love deploying websites using Github, but for some reason want to use your own server, this script might be exactly what you need.

  1. Put github.php somewhere on your PHP-enabled web server, and make it accessible for the outside world. Let's say for now the script lives on http://example.com/github.php

Gradient Boosting Trees using Python
# =============
# Introduction
# =============
# I've been doing some data mining lately and specially looking into `Gradient
# Boosting Trees <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_boosting>`_ since it is
# claimed that this is one of the techniques with best performance out of the
# box. In order to have a better understanding of the technique I've reproduced
# the example of section *10.14.1 California Housing* in the book `The Elements of Statistical Learning <http://www-stat.stanford.edu/~tibs/ElemStatLearn/>`_.
# Each point of this dataset represents the house value of a property with some
# attributes of that house. You can get the data and the description of those
