I didn't know about the FLX1S+, which looks about as close as to what I want as there is right now. What I'm looking for is an 8GB phone that I can run Docker on, to host apps like DHIS2 & OpenMRS3 (so a JVM). I have the impre

Apologies for self-linking here, but it's not just cool things, in my opinion it could transform humanitarian aid work. I wrote a use-case/short-story about it here: https://ianso.blogspot.com/2025/11/wha

This is awesome stuff. Fully mainstream Linux with a normal userland running on a modern handset with all features will unlock a tremendous amount of change once it's there. Things like running a distributed database for a community on

I think there could be a GH feature request that could do something like this in my opinion (opt-in though, not opt-out). In my personal GH account there is a "sponsor" button that shows me what dependencies I have that I could sp

Very good question! SDR + something like Reticulum or Yggdrasil would definitely provide the infra or network fabric for the kind of thing I'm thinking of. However, a normal Android, e.g. a Pixel 7, can't to my knowledge be turned

I think this stuff is super important, simply because there is a ton of stuff we can't do using our phones today. Think mesh networking, resilient ad-hoc application clustering, non-Internet P2P, like Freifunk but everywhere. We should

The dumbest part of this is that all Wikimedia projects already export a dump for bulk downloading: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/ So it's not like you need to crawl the sites to get content for training your models...

No offence to Mr. Andserson but it reads a bit like someone has done an 'Inception' on him - subtly planted the seed of a train of thought that would lead him to disband his efforts, all the while believing it was his own idea.

Does anyone else think this should be made into a movie? Massive respect to this ED.

Popping up here to mention OpenMRS, a healthy open-source EMR used by hundreds if not thousands of facilities across the world, mostly in Africa and Asia. An old version is packaged/integrated with some other apps into Bahmni, which i

Funny that the article focuses on huge corps for on-prem. I work for a non-profit and we deploy stuff to hardware in Afghanistan, Haiti, Sudan... You can't assume the Internet works and if it does, it could be a 1Mbps VSAT connection.

This reminds me of "two stories of the pistol", some anecdotes where a sentry actually does almost kill some idiot senior officers: http://everything2.com/title/Two+stories+of+the+pistol

Sorry but what is the actual point of this blog post? GPG is just one guy. Who's practically beggared himself writing and maintaining the tool. GPG is actually used by human rights activists, journalists etc. That, right there, is reas

This is such a stupid framing to the article. The sixth paragraph states clearly why it was built and it has nothing to do with NASA drifting - it was being pulled: "But, at first, cautious NASA bureaucrats didn’t want to stop the cons

This is getting interesting - see the comments - apparently it may be part of an Aegis missile? Not something you'd want to end up in a grey market in Shenzhen!

I think the BtC protocol was used to ensure that peoples usernames were guaranteed unique, and linkable to a private key, i.e. verifiable. I think the whitepaper has more info, reading it now: http://arxiv.org/abs/1312.

Hum, I think between you, nl, and nwg, point 1 is looking very shabby... I think I'll revise it shortly.

Yup, because I misread the paper :-/ I thought it also stated that entity A had done large amounts of churning, which it hasn't. I'll fix that, thankyou...

That's true, but then it's equally true that DJBs software, while absolutely excellent, is definitely idiosyncratic. If DJB anonymously published code using the same style, e.g. the configuration language, refusal to use standard

Yar, I realise the Hezbollah thingy is only tangentally applicable, but I couldn't find a better example of a single mistake compromising an identity and thereby a network. I think that someone (maybe Cory Doctorow?) wrote a better,
