   We had a room in the house that had a whole wall of books. There was a carpet on the floor. As a child I would wander in and become slowly transfixed by covers and just the pattern of the whole thing. I tried and failed many times to read b

   You are privileged! It is a daily part of life in South Africa -- around 200ms to the EU and more for anywhere else. That kind of delay becomes extremely jarring when you are working on a VPS or doing anything, really. Local VPSs are expens

   Could you elaborate what you're talking about? Stealing passwords/sensitive info from Chrome temporary files? How can one mitigate this threat?

   The last news I read on this, the Librem 5 was slated to launch in April of 2019. Is this still the case? Is it usual for an ambitious project like this to be doing this sort of development (i.e. core dev, not polish) within 6 months of rel

    Saw a comment from you the other day on HN. Was really excited, even installed snap to try it out. For some reason the application is not automatically in my path after installation. That’s enough for me to go back to apt, and unfortunately

    I’ve heard DOs internal traffic is internal not private. You’ve got to lock your boxes down anyways.

    I agree with you and have often noted that it’s like you’re driving from one prison to another. Re: commute time, was more in context of this thread, where one would be more likely to live in {Glenwood, Umhlanga, Westville, Morningside, Etc

    Its quite common for almost all new cars to come with driver and main passenger side windows with the “smash and grab” tint. I would recommend this to anyone driving in South Africa. I’ve never been smash and grabbed because I generally pay

    Yeah way to escalate a smash and grab into a homicide! Getting a new phone is always cheaper than dealing with the dead guy pooling blood next to your car. I’m a South African and out of all my friends and family only one carries a gun and

    While I can see where you’re coming from with the other points, private drivers are not really a thing (you do need a car though). Traffic is also basically non existent if you have lived in any other major city in the world. Like 15-30mins

    The fact that you call a traffic light a "robot" makes me suspect you're a South African or your parents are :) I have never been hijacked, robot or otherwise. The worst that happened to me was getting mugged in a dark alley

    I'm actually a Durbanite living in Westville but I can't recommend Durban having lived in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Mumbai and Berlin. Spend too much time in Durban and I end up feeling like I'm intellectually frustrated. A lo

    Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa. Both of these cities have loads of expats and intellectually stimulating environments. Big and spacious apartments for $1000/mo or less. Fibre @ 40mbps for $100/mo or thereabouts. A countr

    What problem does it solve? Just use the package manager provided by the platform...right? Especially given the problem of package naming, it’s different even between Debian and Ubuntu :/

    What’s the IP status of recordings sent to Amazon? Might that affect the IP of the code produced?

    Thanks! That seems quite expensive in terms of hardware needed and the license for VM Ware. Any thoughts on this (this is an investment decision for low cost housing in Africa)? Also, is there a way to charge for traffic beyond a certain qu

    I’ve been looking to install WiFi internet for some tenanted accommodation (think 8 flats or so). As it’s an “included with rent” perk, I need a way to dynamically throttle based on number of clients and protocol. Is there a simple prosumer

    IIRC it is so that you do not need to save the entire game world with a save game. You can just use the seed to recreate the world.
