My pleasure... :) I've really enjoyed this trip, the last five months.

I've been in tech for 35 years and never flashed a pc bios. My MP3 player, sure. You think tech means installing servers?

Yes, Buzzfeed has done a few good long articles. Surprising in a good way.

A more dangerous side-effect of branding Tor as a "human rights" tool is that whereas if it's a "privacy" tool, people in oppressive regimes can legitimately use it (e.g. people wo…

I disagree. I'm happy to install Linux from a USB stick. I'm not happy reflashing a BIOS. Have installed many, many laptops with Linux (ironically, my all time favorites are older …
