Well, no doubt better solutions can be, but I do not know any, still waiting to see a GNU Hurd system able to boot on my real iron... Meaning yes, we might have anything much better, but the point is that most modern software tend to be muc

Nice but... Backup is nothing without restore and actually "restore" for third party services on a closed proprietary infra it's not possible... My way for mails is simply having local maildirs using mails via notmuch and ser

Thanks, but please in general publish always the complete package, relaying on third party service it's like not being FLOSS because the potential user still do not have at his/her own hand the complete infra so can't really

Needed (partially) but far from being enough. Let's say you are a big-edutech player, you have all infos collected by your platform on your infra. Even if children and families know what you have and "why" [1] they can't

It's not enough: let's say you have signed XML transactions from your bank, so you own your accounts because you have a provable balance and transactions in your own hand, but... You still know just you. The bank knows the finance

It is, because the willingness it's largely irrelevant, there are countless information about you left here and there. Of course ideally we have to choose a trade-off between the need of sharing and the will to keep things private, but

Well, I have no issue imaging how bureaucratic, inconclusive, how much flow of public money on some friends of friends etc it could be but the point is simple: public money, public code need or public developers, or the State hire them to d

The idea seems a "quick support" kind of connectivity, meaning you just pass a string to be paste in a terminal and you are on the same "LAN", for such casual temporary usage I'm not much concerned, but... Where the

You can't fix Boeing or any other industry with punishments, the flaw is in the financial system of all the west. Some companies suffer more, some less, but their fate will be the same. A small example: most battery-powered hand tools

When climate change people have to change, this means migrations, war for resources etc, ANYONE wise do it's best to be as resilient and resourceful as possible. Accidentally this is the opposite of modern nazi-management paradigm.
