Behemoth GUI
The end of the world is nearer as these days people find easier to create a huge 50mb behemoth based on Electron to provide simple GUIs like this loginized “Gnome GDM Login Theme Manager. Easy and Fast Login Theme Manipulation”. Thank you juhaku for all the fish, but I wonder why you haven’t used Gtk…

media.ccc.de – Creating Resilient and Sustainable Mobile Phones
- Freedom from Energy Infrastructure, so that we cannot be deprived of the energy we need to communicate.
- Freedom from Communications Infrastructure, so that we cannot be deprived of the communications we need to organise and sustain communities.
- Freedom from depending on vendors for the security of our devices, so that we can patch security problems promptly as they emerge, so that we can sustain communications and privacy.
- Freedom to continue to innovate and improve our digital artefacts and systems, so that we can react to emergy threats and opportunities.
- Freedom to maintain our devices, both their hardware and software, so that our ability to communicate and organise our communities cannot be easily eroded by the passage of time.
- Freedom from Scale-Dependency, so that individuals and small groups can fully enjoy the ability to communicate and exercise the preceding freedoms, without relying on large corporations and capital, and also allowing minimising of environmental impact.

SECUSHARE
Secushare employs GNUnet for end-to-end encryption and anonymizing mesh routing (because it has a more suitable architecture than Tor or I2P) and applies PSYC on top (because it performs better than XMPP, JSON or OStatus) to create a distributed social graph. Together, these technologies allow for distributed private social networking including more straightforward and secure…

I’m starting a new category “osservanda” (i.e. “to be observed”) interesting projects to keep an eye on. Let’s start with an Operative System:

Proprietary software
Ah, solido
Ah, secondo la vulgata comune Windows 10 sarebbe solidissimo. E come li spieghiamo questi “schermi blu della morte” su una macchina aggiornata con su solo Firefox che si inchioda malamente al solo leggere una paginetta web di testo? E no, non mi tirate fuori la storiella dei driver che non sono sotto il controllo di…

Un pensierino
Tutti amano Thunderbird, anche chi lo usa su Windows. Anzi soprattutto chi lo usa sul famigerato sistema operativo proprietario perché l’altrettanto famigerato Outlook sembra rendere impossibili cose che con Thunderbird son semplicissime, come per esempio cercare qualcosa in più cartelle ed account contemporaneamente. Ora magari si potrà fare anche con Outlook, ma Thunderbird cerca sempre…

Come usare i vecchi portatili
I vecchi portatili, quelli che scaldano servono a far giocare a MineCraft le figlie ed ad iniepidire il vino “delle grandi occasioni” che io colpevolmente non ho portato su dalla cantina in tempo utile 😃 Per gli enofili, il vino è il Cinque Autoctoni di Fantini che è davvero fantastico anche per chi come me…
