    @sir I get what you're saying but it isn't easy to switch hosts. You can't bring your followers with you and your old profile doesn't redirect to the new one. It's closer to switching a cell number than switching a hosting company.

    Just want to give a shoutout to the wonderful FOSS Syncthing, which replaced Dropbox for me several years ago. If you're looking for freedom while syncing and backing up files, look no further than Syncthing.

    I saw a banner ad on television today. It's amazing that people actually watch this junk.

    After using JS and C# for years, I thought "it might be neat to rewrite this code on this article in BASIC" since I haven't written BASIC since I was a kid. I installed FreeBASIC and got to work. ~30 minutes later I'm still trying to figure out how arrays are defined. What a nightmare BASIC is.

    If you're interested in open computer hardware, take a look at the EOMA68, which was crowdfunded a couple of years ago and is now in an advanced stage of production.

    1. What do 1,000 EOMA68-A20 PCBs look like?
      from Crowd Supply
      This is so under-dramatic. You'd think that 1,000 PCBs would take up more space.

    I updated the firmware on my SN30Pro controller tonight. It works a LOT better. I went from version 1.02 to version 1.29. A ton of Nintendo Switch vibration updates really improved the feel of the rumble, especially on Horizon Chase Turbo, which was not working at all previously (rumble would get stuck on 100% for minutes).

    It's huge news that Valve open sourced and provided the Steam Link software now that the hardware has been discontinued. More news sites and FOSS-friends should pick up on that! https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/0/1743353164093954254/

    Printers will sit disused but plugged in for years. Then, the first time they're needed in forever, they'll fail to operate correctly.

    Routers can automatically handle all the bullshit configs and put the services on a DMZ, eliminating the need for risky UPNP entirely.

    Router manufacturers are missing the market for consumers hosting their own stuff out of their home as opposed to being locked into third-party services. The router can become the hub, handling torrents, hosting GNU social, Minecraft servers, you name it.

    rtorrent is such a good tool. I just wish its keyboard commands matched vim's.

    Watched the Grinch movie tonight at Cineplex Odeon. It was really great. A lot of nice touches, like how the dog circles once before laying down on his bed, etc.

    Is there a completely open and free computer in a form factor like the Raspberry Pi? Something where FOSS drivers are actually encouraged?

    Just a friendly reminder that the SETI@Home project needs some computing power due to a recent influx of new data, so if you've got some to spare, please help! https://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/
