Awesome. Quite awesome. Guacamole — HTML5 Clientless Remote Desktop is really awesome.
Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway. It supports standard protocols like VNC and RDP.We call it clientless because no plugins or client software are required.Thanks to HTML5, once Guacamole is installed on a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web browser.
The browser is quickly becoming the new desktop….
Google Criticized For ‘Opaque’ Audio-Listening Binary In Debian Chromium (source Slashdot): Debian, mother of Ubuntu, a major player in the software Libre world always required to have access to the sources of the programs they distribute1, especially in web-browsers. I’m not surprised to read this.
I do not use proprietary browser for this very reason, you can’t be sure what it really does, so I avoided Internet Explorer, Opera but also Google’s Chrome which is based on a libera (italian adjective for free-as-in-freedom) version named Chromium which I seldom use as my main browser is Firefox.
An opaque, binary-only module is by all mean of definition proprietary, so I think I’ll try to avoid Chromium too, or to use it silencing my microphone….
You smart reader may already be complaining that most web-applications are proprietary too and although coded in an interpreted language such as JavaScript they are nevertheless proprietary. Yes, you’re right, but that’s another issue. Quite big actually and quite bigger than me.
Looks like I found a nice news reader for me FreshRSS, a free, self-hostable aggregator…

In a middle of typical morning I saw the battery of my smartphone quite lower than what I expected so I looked at power usage :
Hey, wait a moment, I haven’t used Google Play Music! It must have been working under the wood:
Dear Google,
I understand that you strive to provide refined, responsive, polished services yet three gigabytes of data in two weeks are an order of magnitude or two bigger than what I would consider a fair usage of my bandwidth for a program I haven’t run in months, for music that I haven’t listened to since last autumn.
So thanks for all the fish, I’m going to un install Google tunes. I’ll use it properly confined into a browser I trust which incidentally is not Chrome.
Your truly

Another interesting application written in Go.
It seems that an interoperability between Go and Eiffel could be desirable…
Let’s re-discover my own Milan. Actually I don’t life in Milan, but in a nearby town in the southern part of Brianza, near enough to reach it with a ½hour of train. I graduated here, and went to lessons by bike, so yes, that’s my city.
Thank you Sara Rosso, to help me rediscover it! (from: Discovering #NoFilter Milan with London City Airport – Ms. Adventures in Italy)
Post-processing and filtering images on our phones is almost too easy, which is why I love this initiative to post unedited photos of Milan, and to encourage each other to shoot #nofilter as often as possible. Being Italy’s business and commerce capital, Milan does not always get swept with the same rustic-charm beauty brush as other classic Italian destinations. You have to pay more attention in Milan to catch its beauty and its charm, which is why I think seeing the city through others’ eyes reminds me, too, that there is more to Milan.
