Okay, let me try to break through the reality distortion field: it's an Android-based tablet, with a custom Android UI skin, a 1:1 aspect ratio, custom app store with a Spotify-like subscription service for apps (they don't mentio

sounds like you could use a schedule, so you don't always feel like you should be doing things . pick different days of the week/times for socialising and learning things. stick to them once you find the right balance.

I'm upset that in the year 2014 we still think that having the package maintainers patch ancient software instead of providing latest upstream versions is a good idea. I'm a big fan of the *BSD package management model - they give

Sorry. Not a dorky paranoid liberal type here. Me, i don't see any use for cryptocurrencies outside of darknet contraband trade/money laundering. Any politician excited about cryptocurrencies would probably use them to receive unt

Unless you're only serving static files (on a 10Gbit+ connection) or are still running Apache/IIS, the web server is not the bottleneck, it's either your (Python/Ruby/Node/...) code or the underlying database.

No need for extensive Linux experience: Use a secure password for DSM, turn off "EZ-Internet" and other DynDNS-like services, make sure it's connected to your router and not directly to the Internet, don't forward any po

I agree, but I can buy two entry-level Synology DiskStations for the price of one C2550 CPU+MB bundle. I really like that CPU and I would buy it in a heartbeat to replace my Synology, if the price didn't include the "GenuineIntel

I'm guessing this only affects you if you have their EZ-Internet service enabled that exposes the NAS to the public internet. Or if you exposed it yourself on your firewall. I've had a Synology NAS for almost a year now. I really

XFS and its lack of data journaling (it only journals its own metadata) is notorious for corrupting data on power loss and kernel crashes. It performs well only under specific workloads and hardware setups. Why choose it as the default file

It requires Linux-specific kernel APIs like cgroups and udev, not POSIX. Most *BSD systems are mostly or fully POSIX compliant.

"Not Open Source" is the wrong term. It's an extreme example of a cathedral project. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cathedral_and_the_Bazaar . Slightly off-topic, but Android is another good examp

Having more fine grained permission controls for power users would be good, but it wouldn't be enough to fix Android's current security model. Most people don't read the permission list (even the simplified one) when installi
