Alas, rural is pretty much anywhere outside a few city centers, and even in London there are parts where you can get stuck with an unstable 4 MBit/s DSL link (from personal experience).

Meanwhile, in rural England, people desperate for internet access are bundling four DSL lines at 1.4 MBit/s downstream each. BT has re-established its monopoly with being the only provider of FTTC, a major step back from the LLU days o

I wonder if this doesn't encourage people. I mean, they're unhappy with an increasingly oppressive government - won't showing them just how oppressive it can be just tell them they're doing the right thing here? This wou

The sane init is one of the main selling points of the *BSDs for me. I don't want any of this make-my-desktop-linux-boot-two-seconds-faster bullshit on my servers.

Interesting, although I stopped reading at the end of page 1. It seemed the article already explained most of it and while I would've scrolled down to skim the rest of the article, waiting for a page load seemed too much effort.

To even have the theoretical possibility of "privacy & security", both software and hardware must be fully open. And then there must be some way to check that the hardware and software you got in that box is actually the hardw

Amusingly, my must-have Django packages are mostly things that replace large chunks of Django (Jinja2 for templates, a DB connector/ORM for whatever database the project needs, which even for PostgreSQL is often plain SQLAlchemy). I gu

Maybe you don't have anything disparaging to say right now. But that may change dramatically in the future. Crass example, let's say you worked at a bank, parted on good terms, signed such an agreement. A few months later it turne

I remove the distractions. Quit email, IM, IRC, work from home in a quiet place. Few people have my phone number, and they know not to call me unless their hair is on fire. The right kind of music can help too. If I'm struggling to foc

You may not always have the chance to scrub it yourself, for example when your VM has a hardware issue.

People used to argue about how Linux is not Unix[1]. It seems things have devolved to the point where we need to argue that Ubuntu is not Linux. Sad. [1] http://kernelbook.sourceforge.net/pdf/ch-intro.pdf

As an EU migrant living in Britain, I find this is sadly spot on. A few years ago I didn't dream of going back (or somewhere else), but now I'm seriously considering it. Almost every day there's more about anti-EU notions, xe
