At first I thought it was weird that I built a shrine to his divine wisdom, but after praying to it for a few nights I realised there's nothing wrong with it at all... I just hope he doesn't ask for human sacrifices...

I have a Clusterhat[1] and a Pi Zero cluster in an MPI (Beowulf) configuration. It's the 3rd beowulf cluster I've ever built, the 2nd being from recycled PowerMacs and the 1st being built with Pentium IIs. It's the most power

It's not just hatred that we have to worry about. It's any view that's considered abhorrent today. Not so long ago, less than 50 years ago, there was little to no distinction between LGBTQ people and paedophiles. They were on

I recently started using Qutebrowser[1] on OpenBSD, and it's really, really good. There's a learning curve but it's well documented, and help's easily available. If you use vi, you'll feel right at home. [1] - http

I've noticed that. But it does appear that for a lot of normally rational people this personal investment is at least amplified, if not manufactured almost entirely through the media.

Can you indulge me in a thought experiment. You seem like a reasonable human being but I think your question shows that you may have fallen into a moral trap. Can you explain to me the point I've made that you're arguing for or ag

I made the grave mistake of trying to express that point on Twitter. Twitter seems to be a poor vehicle for nuanced debate at the best of time, but it's a dumpster fire right now full of raging people who don't understand what you

Does anyone else find it ridiculous that a platform supposedly committed to open standards releases something that doesn't even work cross-browser? For a cross-browser, self-hosted tried and tested alternative, there's 0bin: http

It's not really evil as such. It's more the intersection of money and greed. Musto has lied about a lot of things (some more bizarre than others), and clearly gives zero thoughts about the community side of things. Banzi and co ha

The Raspberry Pi Foundation are not an open source organisation. They produce some open source software (I can't even find coherent source for the pixel desktop), but all of their boards are closed source.

The problem is that the left seem to be just as supportive of a hard brexit as the right. Labour have pledged to end free movement in their manifesto, which is one of the EU's fundamental four freedoms. le sigh

I for one will be glad when we free ourselves of the yoke of EU tyranny and can move Britain forward by banning crypto.</sarcasm> Seriously, my country's going backwards. Is there a way to reboot it and see if that fixes it?

For simple circuits it's fairly straightforward to recreate in a CAD tool. The minute you get more than dual layer, things get hairy in a PDF. Also you can't really send PDFs to fabs to get boards built, as they miss info that you

Perhaps a key difference is that OSHWA isn't authoritative. OSHWA are the FSF of hardware. As far as they're concerned, only their certification constitutes open hardware. Everyone else is wrong. Sound familiar? As someone else po

Hopefully I can provide a bit of insight on this, currently working on open hardware myself. OSHW certification is a self-certification process. Individual products are certified, not companies. What Torrone is doing is conflating Arduino t
