I can speak two other languages fluently, but I live in England and neither of those two other languages are native. As such, my infant son rarely hears them. I know others in my situation who have given up, resigning themselves to being ab

Good to get some figures on this. Quantifying fear and inaction is always going to be tricky. Having recently taken part in the 'Don't spy on us' campaign by the ORG, my local MP replied with how proud we should be of our ser

I always enjoy reading Orwell's writing, mostly for the technical side. It is so fluid and clear. This was pleasing: It is not exactly forbidden to say this, that or the other, but it is 'not done' to say it, just as in

That actually all sounds great. But can the access to the in-HUD data be encrypted and anonymous, please? Also; just 200mph? I'm hoping for more on the speed front.

Surely they missed a trick with the name there... the Raspberry Super Pi, or Raspberry SPi, for short, would have said it all.

Was pleasantly surprised by the article. Turns out there's some excellent guidance for the new parent there, given that very few of us can expect these lifeskills to be taught at school; folks can at least take a stab at teaching these

tl;dr version: Slightly vague article on how sharing threats among the ICS community and reducing attack surfaces through obfuscation and active defense can protect critical infrastructure. Seems like the start of a false sense of security

As a consumer I'm dead against the use of 'beacons' in a public space. If you want to tell me something in the right place, put up a sign. I probably know what I want in the shop when I get there and don't want to be man

This could be interesting. I'm not overly pleased about having to pay to make whois data private, nor about having to provide full physical address details by default. I'm sure there are benefits to the system as a whole, but I st

Then the devs aren't being creative enough! You could do as I do: Syncthing on laptop <> Raspberry Pi <> phone. Now all changes made on either the phone (OS #1, in your case) or laptop (OS #2) will be synced to the Pi (or V

Check out this treadmiller[1] who documented his very affordable setup and results. I've done the same for around £100 using the tripod-stand from previous standing-desk efforts. It reversed a slowly creeping weight gain for me. Then w

Sort of agree. Running own mail servers myself. But it wasn't without hassle. Imagine non-technical family members setting up a VPS, postfix+dovecot+spam/av solution and then getting that to work securely on their mobile devices.

Another VPS user here. Linode and Digital Ocean offer great guides to get started. I've basically moved two domains off of the formerly free Google Apps accounts onto my own servers. Overall things have gone well. I like being able to

Likewise. Moved to Mosh in a VM and now have continual access to several boxes with very little effort. Putty allowed for more secure remote working when on untrusted networks, but not having to constantly enter credentials is much more pre

I didn't want to take part the first time I saw this (linked to by sctb below) but on closer inspection and reading the comments this time around convinced me. Still not sure if I'll get to see what was collected, but at least c

I just use Notepad++ for note taking, synced via Syncthing with phone and pi. Finally got a decent, cross-platform and open notes system with this set up. Happy to encourage any creative use of Notepad++, it's great software!

Cheers, Matt. Also just joined. Been meaning to for a while now. Also based in the Midlands. Will hopefully get a chance to get involved this year.

Been mulling this over myself. Doubt anyone with a reputation would like to stake theirs to another 'solution' that may well turn out to be flawed. Plus the FDE approach seems broken in that machines have to be powered down etc. I

Brief summary for those in a hurry: GHCQ and CSEC sniffed unencrypted analytics data in order to uniquely identify individuals. This capability was present at least 4 years ago. The analytics data included, among many others, Google's

Opera Mini, Modest (email client), Vim, SSH, QCPUFreq Odd list, perhaps. Still ploughing away with the N900, overclocking it on every reboot. Notes with Vim are synced to laptop and raspberry pi via Syncthing. Websites for everything else.

That's actually a great post. I had really low expectations. The author also has 150k+ people on his mailing list so I suppose we're not the only ones. Nice share.

Pas mal! But lurking beneath France's crisp white egalitarian shell lies a deeply unequal, slime-ridden underbelly. Still, every little helps.

Self-hosting. Basic setup (imap over SSL) using Dovecot + Postfix. There are easier ways (Virtualmin etc.) but email's back under control, at least.

Unfortunately brought 1980s gender prejudices with it. Siri and Cortana defaulting to female voices? Way to miss an opportunity, market leaders.

With regard to the documentation and commit situation have you considered looking into Plain English? [1] As for interpersonal communication, perhaps doubly clarifying meaning, preferably in writing. This would force thoughts to be better a

Recently set up Syncthing on Raspberry Pi, N900 and Win7 laptop for the 'perfect' synchronised notes (mainly notes, anyway) system. Can also report low enough resource usage to be useful on these systems. The phone battery life is
