    Mercuriall's plugins are amazing, too. Their Spark plugin and SS-11X (can't tell the difference on that one) are so unbelievably good. If this open source one can do what Spark can…

    See, I have the flip side. Psilocybin has been a huge help for me. Now, the first time I decided to take it I was indeed uncomfortable. However I soon realized that I was facing my…

    Well, there was a project called GitChain*; however, it seems that the project is looking for a new leader. Was a very cool idea. -> http://gitchain.org

    This year's growing season was absolutely hideous for me. Everything was either ripe too early or didn't have enough time to produce. I even had a late frost that killed off a lot …

    Docker seems pretty useful. CoreOS seems pretty useful, too. Hmm.. Yeah, Go definitely isn't going to happen. /s

    Emacs recently switched to git. Emacs did not move to GitHub. There is a mirror repo but Emacs itself is not on GitHub.

    I remember reading discussion how to address this problem. I can't for the life of me find it, though.

    As far as I can tell, uTox is written in C and uses XLib (on GNU/Linux, at least).

    I have been looking forward to this. Of course there are a lot of features missing, but the overall feel of the application is, so far, pretty nice. It's U.I is very nice. Man, I c…

    I support his dicision. I just wish there was some warning so I could have prepared for losing all of my contact information, etc. This couldn't have happened at a worse time as my…

    They way things are nowadays, I just don't know the answer to that anymore... Wasn't Obama a Constitutional Lawyer? You'd think he'd know better.

    Microsoft willingly developed backdoors into their systems for the NSA. They were actively developing ways to help the NSA. Google, Apple, Yahoo, Facebook, etc. have lost trust bec…

    When there are laws that attempt to force people to do things they do not wish to do you get a push back - you get something like Bitcoin or Tor or I2P, etc. Law is always a step b…

    As far as I can tell, the advantage of using tormail (the hidden service) coupled with GPG/PGP is simply the added layer of security (which is anonymity). Like I stated before, Tor…

    If I'm not mistaken, I think, at least in Ontario, there is a massive amount of dark fiber just laying around not being used.

    100$ a month for 50M/50M still seems pretty damn steep of a price to me; even with phone and tv. Especially compared to Google Fiber at 1G.
