I feel like biological populations can be reduced down to one individual and up to all of humanity. You can attempt to make logical decisions about where to draw these lines in bet…

I agree, and by no means is it a replacement, but https://syncthing.net is pretty damn interesting if you want to control your own data. https://www.syncany.org [now abandonded] wa…

Resume generators are getting a little trope-ish. Personally, I just use jsonresume's schema more or less to keep all my employment information. I don't like their generators, too …

I don't use a Google account on my android phone. Cyanogenmod sans google anything.

It used to be, a company wouldn't buy a machine without the spec booklet, the development manual and the in depth machine build information. Hardware producers were not hardware re…

I think there are a lot of things they did incorrectly with OSE, but I like the premise of maintainable self-built open hardware. There's simply not enough open hardware. I don't t…
