It is quite precisely what it was designed to do, yes. (different paper formats, two columns, two pages per one landscape paper, four pages per one portrait paper... all with the same content)

Another use you should consider is to follow the FON model - you can spend TorCoins to buy bandwidth from people operating networks. The more bandwidth you share for TOR, the more free wifi you get. If you only "sell" wifi to tor

Ah, thanks for explaining this to me this way. It's still going to be a challenge, but that makes a more manageable one :)

That is not a bad idea either... but: This will be a challenge: the number of people willing and able to run TOR relays is quite small, and the subcategory of those interested in a (new) cryptocurrency is even smaller. Reaching critical mas

Not a bad idea. I would however add a little spice to the incentive by having some kind of raffle on top of the t-shirt and sticker, just to get some more traction. "Run a tor relay for a year, your chance to get a free free laptop!&

At least HP's public cloud is based on Ubuntu as host: http://www.cloudpro.co.uk/cloud-essentials/public-cloud/1913... I'd be surprised if they were the only ones. DigitalOcean, Amazon, Microsoft(!) all

I have very good contacts with my ISP (habari node), and the tech crowd here is mostly centered around the Arusha Linux User group, so it might not be super relevant for you if you're in Dar. I suspect Dar would have more tech stuff go

A few notes/tips: - If you live in a western country, try to get a remote job. Spend a few months in your remote position and see how you like it. If you like it, you can talk to your manager and ask if moving to wherever you like is f

Pole sana. I hope the android "app" concept catches on as adoption increases - I'd love to see the same kind of local intelligence applications as in Europe here! I find buying things intelligently is hard here for example, s

I concur - setting up a power backup system was my first task when moving here (Tanzania), and it isn't a simple nor cheap barrier to overcome. That is a pretty impressive salary, even for western standards! Maybe I should consider mov

Yay! Many more Tanzanian programmers than I expected on this thread! Out of curiosity - what kind of technologies do you use during your day job? Is it a typical choice for the banking industry in Tanzania, in your experience?

Oh yeah, and TTCL deploying a good country-wide fiber optics backbone did help as well :) I have a 2Mb/s symmetric link to my house, which is faster than I could get in many many places, including the US midwest.

Also, attending conferences in "Africa" (such a big and diverse continent lumped together) is completely unpractical except for some edge cases: many flights will go to Europe and back (there is very little internal demand). The p

Hey cool! What part of Tanzania are you from? Moshi here :)

I moved to Tanzania recently (I'm a white western programmer with a remote job). Some of the hurdles you have to jump over to become a professional programmer here: - Have access to a computer (several months, sometimes years, of salar

Same goes for Switzerland. Calling yourself an engineer without a license is like calling yourself a doctor or a lawyer without a license - it's a crime. Again, software engineers are a little less troubled than say civil Engineers, bu

Out of curiosity (sorry if that's offtopic), but what kind of workload are you running? Is there anything except resources that prevent you from moving to a more modern platform? Of course, "it works" is a valid argument ther

But then, wouldn't you want a beefier machine? 64Gb of RAM seems a bit on the low side for such tasks. I would also think having multiple disks would be a pretty important feature (so you can stripe them for speed...) A single SSD? Rea

I'm not a specialist, but wouldn't a call to free simply deference the memory, but not zero it out? you can then probably still find the key by inspecting memory? again, I'm not a good C programmer, I would like to know too :

We do exactly that. I've never been more happy and productive in my life. And before someone jumps in to say it doesn't scale, we're 600 employees, or of which about 400 work from home, so while we're not huge, were defi
