All the privacy solutions on the market are varying degrees of bad (from a privacy/security/freedom perspective), by which I mean they're all flawed in their own ways. Signal requires Google Play Services on Android. That mea

Chakrabarti's turnaround is a result of her peerage (which in turn was a thankyou for her support in her impartial review into anti-semitism in the Labour party^). She'll obviously tow the Corbyn line, and it's most likely th

I do sometimes wonder how much of this is made worse by keeping competing views in walled gardens. If you look at Twitter historically they've not been great at censorship. Consequently it's easy for views you may hold abhorrent t

The solution to the problems of echo chambers and walled gardens is not to build another echo chamber or walled garden, but to build something that returns control to the user. In this respect, decentralization is the key. A decentralized n

Clear statements are not forms of assurance. A policy does not stop packets, unless it's a physical firewall ruleset.

Why do they need to use Google Analytics and hand information over to a third party instead of using something hosted? I get that there may be money involved, but presumably self-hosting also gives them more of the information to build out

Further to other people's posts (and again, I don't want to spend time ragging on this, it's got some really good ideas, the PocketCHIP is definitely an innovative concept and I do want to see this go well), someone posted a

Point 2 didn't work on my Mac, nor on my Windows box. I did notice later on that I needed to install libusb drivers for it to work with Windows 10, after installing it to flash, flashing worked but I haven't tried the serial conne

Ok, I'll respond point by point: 1. No it isn't. AFAICT The on-board Mali chipset needs a binary driver for full functionality. Lima's not there yet. I had a quick look at the mali package for 4.4 and it's shipping a bin

For point 3, there are options like Adafruit's PiGrrl series, some of which I believe need 3d printing (but you can order that done for you from elsewhere). The downside of the PiGrrl is the lack of keyboard. The upside are the control

I like it. In fact I have a project in mind for which I might use it next year. I think your pricing model might need a bit of work though. I think you're offering too much in the free tier (particularly given that I can run a free com

So I don't want to rag on something that had a huge amount of effort put into it, but... (and these buts apply to other systems as well as the C.H.I.P.) 1. The Allwinner chipset was a bad choice. It's non-free, flaky, underpowered

This is a Raspberry Pi robot kit called GoPiGo[1]. And this is the biggest problem I've found with the C.H.I.P. - everything you do with the C.H.I.P. is something that can be done more easily on a Raspberry Pi. It's not an indictm

Not everything we do is a success, and there are many reasons for our failures when they happen. The trick is to lick your wounds, learn from your mistakes and get back on the horse as soon as you're able to. I hope George learns all t

Everyone who doesn't do PCB design will probably find this a great idea. People who design PCBs will probably wonder when KiCad is going to fix the horrific UX bugs, and go back to using Altium or Eagle in the meantime. KiCad is the St

I took a principled stance back in 2001 of not returning to the US until the DHS was disbanded. At the time I felt it was an unnecessary invasion of privacy, and for a country as large as the united states what was needed was better communi

I'm not so sure, I use MQTT to control lighting and various other things via NodeMCU and Arduino. It's not as quick as a direct link to the devices, but it's perfectly fine. Far more robust than something like IRC for example

Thanks for saving me the trouble of having to write this. The problem XMPP addresses has been solved far more efficiently for IoT by MQTT.
