@jxself Thanks! Now I can update my linux-libre kernel. :)
-
@jxself Just so you know, http://jxself.org/ seems down to me ( http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/jxself.org confirms this).
-
@osamak Also, Eben Upton fears some worse appliance that's almost hackable will appear at @Raspberry_Pi's price point if they wait too long.
-
@osamak The projects' goals differ. Freedom important for @Raspberry_Pi, but they prioritize release so people can learn from it sooner.
-
@osamak Yes, #RaspberryPi will have non-free userspace code. But I talked with Eben Upton and he cares; just wasn't practical for first run.

@dbs Networking was restarted on the server hosting my site, but we still don't know the root cause. Hopefully it doesn't crop up again.

http://ossguy.com/ is back. It's unclear what the problem was; restarting networking fixed it, but no funny iptables/routing existed. #iWeb

Anyone else seeing a #netsplit? I can access http://ossguy.com/ (hosted on #iWeb in #Montreal) from several US IPs, but not Canadian IPs.

Neat idea: build your own provincial #budget for #BC - http://www.fin.gov.bc.ca/mybcbudget/mybcbudget.html (via @cbcnewsbc)

@jxself They can flash code to write-once chip. My point is that insisting only on free software doesn't always give flexibility you want.
-
@jxself They could always move the SIM lock into hardware. That's why free software is insufficient, in this case and in general.
-
@jxself Nope, definitely not. It's more a matter of principle. They offered me credit for future flight, but still less than minimum wage.

@fontana @VirginAmerica service was good; agreed. But double-charged for baggage and haven't refunded after 7 hours of calls over 2 months.
