With 'only one country', I assume you refer to South Africa. Are you aware that the ANC itself approved of nuclear disarmament? If you look at the Budapest Memorandum, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine also voluntarily gave up their

I found the open source Valetudo ( https://github.com/Hypfer/Valetudo ) project quite interesting, as it sits between the vendor firmware and (cloud) connectivity. The project is made possible due to Dennis Giese's

That's a much requested feature. With imho two main challenges: 1. Much traffic data is private / requires licensing, however some countries have reasonable public data. For example the TraffXML ( https://gitlab.com&#x2F

Cool projects! I actually had a look at you gtfs-server, to use Rust for processing GTFS files. Processing GTFS (basically large zipped text files) is quite resource intensive indeed, especially if you want to do it for the whole planet. Wh

Thanks for bringing this up to hackernews! The challenge for OrganicMaps is to make it privacy preserving and offline usable, which means on device routing and getting as much information on the device as possible. The referred document con

Have a look at https://travic.app It visualizes GTFS data for many countries, also outside of Europe. Next to trains, it shows buses, metro's, trams, etc. For interesting technical details (e.g. on interpolation, updates, s

I agree with you on the issue with trust. The Atlantic compares the US developments from the last 10 years with what happened to the tower of Babel: "Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the begin

One of the driving forces behind the neonicotinoids theory is a toxicologist called Henk Tennekes, who used to work as a consultant for Solvay, Roche, Monsanto en Sandoz (now known as Syngenta). Basically he claims that the toxicity was und

The problem is not so much whether it's the government's job to regulate it, but that it is primarily treated as a criminal issue, and thus is 'solved' through police enforcement. In other countries people see it more as

Nice to mention the link to Objectivism and Ayn Rand. I can highly recommend Adam Curtis's 'All Watched over Machines of Loving Grace' docu [1], which goes into that relationship and has a great scene of pong! [1] https:&#x

What I find interesting is that it supports access to an external wallet on your phone. This reduces the attack surface. Another browser that has a wallet built in is Brave [1]. But afaik this does not support access to wallets on other dev

Thank you, I appreciate that! Actually, thinking a bit longer about the problem, the issue in my mind is that vendors/producers do not have an incentive to update software if you only pay for the hardware once. For them it's just

I agree, you have a good point with respect to a large amount of older hardware and I do not have a solution for that problem. What I can say is that I try to buy hardware which has support for open source software and has a community aroun

If you're using something like OpenWRT, you most likely don't need to buy new hardware. The WPA3 functionality is already added to hostapd and wpa_supplicant [1]. Look for the terms SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals), DPP

I truly believe that if you can't do the job of the people below you: you're not qualified to lead them. If you can't motivate people to work harder to solve the issues that they're stumbling on: you don't deserve
