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 …

There are several labs and researchers with ideas on how to do this and published books on the subject ( https://www.sharing-thebook.com/ ). Long story short: workable solutions ex…

In terms of strain on natural resources, that's insane.

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 as…

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 th…

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.

Counter point, from a small touring punk band, Direct Hit!: You Don't Have to Lose Money on Tour https://www.vice.com/en/article/you-dont-have-to-lose-money-... Have you ever heard…

No but bro, listen bro, he does numbers.

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 i…

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…

Started using Sideberry over a year ago and have not looked back since. Very good stuff.

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 F…

You can do over the command line and even automate it ( https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/attended.sy... )

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 b…

How is providing a F-Droid repo the same as being restricted to only being available via F-Droid?

Do you think email should have a branded client, simply called "email" available in all the major app stores? Or XMPP have a branded client, simply called "XMPP" etc.? Align on a p…

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 includ…

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…

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 ma…

Kodi, using LibreELEC, on an aging PC I built myself (with one of the smallest cases I could find back in 2010 or so). I'd recommend reading the recommendations on the Kodi forums …

Can you explain why, at least briefly?

There is also no mention of Tiny Tiny RSS or RSS Lounge, which are both good RSS readers that you can self-host pretty easily (FOSS webapps). Pretty surprising.

You used “Joe Sixpack”, the OP used “Joe Consumer” which sounds a lot less derogatory to me.
