@jxself Thanks! Now I can update my linux-libre kernel. :)

Denver Gingerich Jason Self

@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.

Denver Gingerich Osama Khalid

@osamak The projects' goals differ. Freedom important for @Raspberry_Pi, but they prioritize release so people can learn from it sooner.

Denver Gingerich Osama Khalid

@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.

@murph I'd expect so. @nbwrites and I will be at #CopyNight #NYC tonight as well. See you there!

@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

Denver Gingerich Dan Scott

@dbs Yes, that's the one. I guess that confirms what I've noticed so far. Seems to be an #iWeb issue; waiting for their response.

Denver Gingerich

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

At #AUS on 30-minute free #wifi. It's dial-up speed and no ICMP or non-80/443 port access, but works. Off to #EWR shortly.

Denver Gingerich

Made it to #AUS no problem. Downtown #Hilton wired Internet is ok, but default #DNS servers very laggy; solved with @opendns.

Denver Gingerich

Heading to #AUS via #EWR in a few hours. Though I've been to Mexico and southmost Arizona, Austin will be the furthest south I've ever been.

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.

Denver Gingerich Jason Self

@jxself They could always move the SIM lock into hardware. That's why free software is insufficient, in this case and in general.

Denver Gingerich Jason Self

@jxself Nope, definitely not. It's more a matter of principle. They offered me credit for future flight, but still less than minimum wage.

Denver Gingerich Richard Fontana

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