This chart, from My Best Smoker, covers the cook times and cooking temperatures of 17 of the most mouth-watering meats. You can learn to smoke brisket, salmon, chicken, turkey, ribs, and even hot wings. The outermost ring (light red) on the inside of each meat tells you what temperature to smoke at, then the yellow ring tells you for how long, and the brownish ring on the inside tells you the recommended internal temperature of the meat so you know when it’s done. The graphic is designed for use with electric smokers, but some of these suggestions may still work with charcoal or dry smokers.

Use a Raspberry Pi as a Tor/VPN Router for Anonymous Browsing

We’ve shown you how to use a Raspberry Pi as both a Tor proxy and a personal VPN, but Make shows off how to do both in one unit for truly anonymous browsing everywhere.

The build here uses two Wi-Fi adapters to get the job done. Once it’s complete, you’ll have a passive VPN connection that you’ll hardly even notice is there. You’ll also have Tor installed, so you can flip over to that connection with just a couple of clicks. It’s a pretty simple setup all things considered, and it’ll act as a nice bridge between your standard router for those times when you want to browse anonymously or get around any location-specific blocks.

Kobayakawa is a minimalist betting tactical game. The Pico of Poker (as it was described to me). The game antes one coin, and then deals each player a card, plus flips a card face up.

Going (once) around the table you can either:

  • Draw a card, then keep one card (hidden) and reveal the other (discarding it).
  • Replace the face up card in the center (you flip up the top one and replace, no choice).

After this, there’s one round of betting. You can bet or fold. After everyone bets, you reveal. The lowest revealed card gets to add the center card to theirs. Highest value wins. (Under the gun winning ties). That’s it.

I can see myself mocking up a copy of this soon to give it a try.  I like games with a level of bluff and combining that with simple rules and a bit of press-your-luck, this seems like a winner.
