Building a phone isn't easy (obviously ;)). Been there myself and it may not even be due to incompetence from Purism's side. Your leverage as a small manufacturer with low quantities is just almost non-existing. Their main problem

Am I weird because this sounds really appealing to me for some reason? Didn't do any wood work since sløjd in school :D

I recently built a system capable of handling this load, but is was based on MongoDB and thats not an option in this project because of hardware constraints. Cassandra may be an option. I will look into it.

If you are not planning to spend time in countries, where VPN is required, then I would just buy a VPN service. Too much hastle with setting it up and the established providers are very good and easy to setup. I will send you an email :)

I agree, but those cars and the attention is just so tempting. And then in Thailand. Imagine kite surfing, drinks, anything you want for small cash. Hell, you could even contract someone to write that damn file system people are whining ab

In the long run, I think driving Ferraris would get old much quicker than writing file systems, so yes, I tend to agreee, but in the short run, I doubt it.. Hell, park a Ferrari in my drive way and I would abandon my customers here for at l

Heh.. Yes, probably is now. I dont know if the founders started out to make a Ponzi, but once the dollars started rolling in, I can imagine, they probably got "different ideas". Who am I to judge, but if I was a founder of this, I

My main concern for now is to be able to store/write the data collected from a million IoT devices in a scalable fashion, so there is not really a requirement for what to do with it other than, when the data is there it will be analyze

I used Streisand for a while and I can confirm, that it works very well in China. VPN galore.

Been living in China for 4-5 years. Back home these days. 1) I used ExpressVPN while I was there and never really had a big problem. We also used the GSuite for our company. Once in a while I had to change the protocol or a different countr

After I upgraded, I gave my Xeon Workstation to my Mother and actually kept the miner running when I gave it to her. She complained it was a bit slow, when she used Photoshop, so I turned the miner off and she was happy. There must have bee

Sounds about right. I paid 500 euros for my 0.05BTC piece of history (there were some fees and all that of course). Maybe I just bought a piece of something like the Berlin wall and when everything goes to shit and this whole train wreck ev

Man, this is just weird. I just bought 0.05 Bitcoins (you know FOMO and all that) and it just feels so much more empty than back in the days when I mined them myself with my brand new dual Xeon CPU and later on was thinking grand thoughts a

Isn't there a stable site somewhere that just works always where you can follow the price even when Bitcoin crashes? Been using bitcointicker.co but it has problems now. It has always been like this since the good old 10 cent Bitcoin d

Sorry, I didn't mean it in a bad way or to bash anything Chinese, which usually also grinds my gears and I fully understand what you say as I used to live and work in China for some years and I am fully aware of the capabilities of man

User builds on some Chinese phones are pretty sloppy. I needed to access an old Oppo phone the other day, where I couldn't remember the PIN. Luckily ADB was enabled, which suggests that their production software might have been a userd

Isn't the EngineerMode APK an MTK app? I have been involved in developing an Marshmallow MTK based phone in the past and in my experience their BSP's were pretty messy. I.e. a lot of cleaning up is necessary if you want a relative

Aren’t those coins essentially worthless since he cannot unload them anywhere without tanking the price? He would have to sell them outside an exchange.

Yes, I suppose. If I had only known back in the days, when I started mining back in 2009 with my shiny dual Xeon workstation. Are you Satoshi? ;)

Its like watching a religion unfold in accelerated time. Heretics separating themselves into sects with different practices and beliefs from the orthodox groups. Is Bitcoin turning into a social experiment instead of an economical one? :)

I just got a call from someone trying to peddle a Bitcoin trading site. Didn't catch the name of the site, but he was very persistent, was reading from a manuscript and didn't know that the maximum supply of Bitcoin would be 21M,

May I ask which container? Something like VeraCrypt or? I have thought about doing this also. How about the sync'ing? Does it sync only parts of the container, when you change something or does it have to sync everything, when you make

I used Wireguard to connect multi datacenter nodes in a Kubernetes cluster recently and I recommend it. It works very well and is very simple compared to other VPN technologies. Thanks for your work. :)

Nice.. I didn't know about this. Some people here seem to recommend it and they have been using it a lot apparently. Where did you learn about it? Is there a community our there I am missing out on?
