Note: If there are patches for the software you want available in the ports tree, you probably want to look at the working with ports page. However, if you want to customize your build further read on. At the time of this writing I am in the process of building python 3.6.4. The build process could change in the future, but this is current build process, hopefully this will give someone the jumpstart they need to get going on this. Read more...

While hunting for the source of a bug earlier, I thought that it might be the cause of a bad binary. To remedy this I thought that I would build python from source and now I’m creating this post for some documentation on the process. During this I was using Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) running on docker.

Any how, I found this challenge on the first page and thought it looked pretty interesting. Now let’s take a look at solving it. After booting it up on virtualbox it shows the assigned ip address, perfect. Read more...

Now it seems that protonmail is doing something similar in that I navigate to their mobile site, wait for it to load. Read more...
