I'd be interested in seeing them partner with some of the other interesting and open-ish players, like Pine64 or Radxa, to push for a more standardised, unified SBC landscape. But that's not as good for PR as "bigger, faster,

I really think you have got a point, I'd add however that reading is more cognitive effort than watching a video, at a basic level (that is, information in the text or video put aside). Just see how hard it is to read more than a few p

That's a pretty impressive way to imagine people's motivations. The likelihood of a non-profit outfit building open source software being driven by a warped sense of justice and the goal of making people miserable rather than, say

Yes, but SV VC are not known for being wise people you look to for life advice. It's a bit like asking for forest safety advice from drunk hunters.

Matrix also keeps your message on the server. Except you can run your own server. And the messages are end to end encrypted. And you can keep a proper backup of the keys. Granted it can be clunky at times, but the properties are there and d

I'll have you know they had maths PhDs design their security, sir. Eight of them! Yeah, it's a bit of a joke.

That's it. The article could be just that. You log back in and all your messages are there without you having to provide a secret or allow access to some specific backup? Your data just lives on the server. The only thing preventing an

I would imagine a minor browser would be less of an influence than the fact that most browsers have vertical tabs as an option at this point, or even just the slew of add-ons for Firefox itself.

I gave up on DD-WRT years ago when they started obfuscating parts of the WebUI to not have to comply with FOSS requirements (from foggy memory), moved to OpenWRT and never looked back. Trying to turn into a proprietary product something tha

Matrix = email. Element = Thunderbird, Outlook, etc. The Matrix name has never budged since the beginning of the project. One of the Matrix servers is called Synapse. Others include Conduit or Dendrite (see https://matrix.org&#x2

That's the thing, the statement "there are no good cops" doesn't mean that no individual person that is police can be an ok person, it means that police as an institution will make people bad. My understanding is that it

I read your question too fast. Sorry. For storage, a NAS will be nicer than a rpi with a drive. There might be some other single board computers with better hardware options for managing multiple drives, but from what I've seen this is

Watch out, the site now redirects to something shady. It also messed up as soon as it hit 10⁹ views, saying it would hit 10⁹ views in 23 hours, 59 minutes etc.

Nope, not on Facebook you can't. Unless I'm sourly mistaken, the Facebook Jabber server does not support s2s federation (by choice, obviously) and won't let users outside the Facebook Jabber server chat to those on it. Cue walled garden ran
