PureOS is FSF endorsed
Ben Sturmfels at 2018-01-25T01:06:13Z
I must have missed this in the Christmas rush: Purism's PureOS GNU/Linux operating system is now FSF endorsed. Very inspiring to see that the company is so committed to their goal of manufacturing a freedom respectful laptop!

My fight against CDN libraries
A very nice writeup and awesome work by David Revoy of the Pepper & Carrot webcomic:
A CDN ( acronym for Content Delivery Network ) library is often a single line of code proposed "generously" by an external service to let you link and embed a complex features, the easy way. A common example is Google Web Fonts:
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lobster" rel="stylesheet">
Paste this line in the header of your website and 'tadaaa!', you can use the font 'Lobster' to decorate all your texts. Easy, quick, efficient and fast to load. Merci Google. So, what's the problem?
Well a big one: Privacy of the readers of Pepper&Carrot. In our example, users of Google Web Fonts are bound by Google's privacy policy. It allows Google to collect a large amount of data about readers: log data (e.g. browser version), location data (the IP address of your site's visitors) and more because they can track your path or history threw all the website using their other networks of CDN.
... And I didn't had a CDN only for Google Web Font. I had also a CDN for Addthis (easy social-networks buttons), Gravatar (easy avatars), Font-awesome (easy icons), etc... As many, many website around!

jq, a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor
Ben Sturmfels at 2016-11-30T05:06:38Z
I've wanted a tool like this for a while. Saves me having to dive in to Python to select things out of JSON. https://stedolan.github.io/jq/

And it's in Trisquel/Debian!
Maybe a way to disable Intel ME on newer laptops?
Christopher Allan Webber at 2016-11-28T18:37:24Z
Sounds promising! Thanks to @Aeva Ntsc for pointing it out (who also points out, it's not super clear how they're verifying it's disabled... hopefully though!)

Really!, Come on.. it could at least have been "... on Matrix" Tho I'd prefer pump.io or XMPP better.
At least it isn't one of the "The Mainframe is on FIRE!!!!!!!!!" e-mails I would get at work that would indicate a bad day brewing.

“At least it isn't one of the "The Mainframe is on FIRE!!!!!!!!!" e-mails I would get at work that would indicate a bad day brewing.”
That made me LOL.. I have a "The server is running on battery" alert that goes out to e-mail,XMPP, and plays a WAV saying "Help Me!! The server is running on battery" (it's a home server not a co-lo). Which usually end up firing off at about 4am.
So I feel your pain, at least a little.

I can't imagine myself using any DE other than Plasma xD
And not because of the eye candy, at all.

@csolisr The nice thing about /boot is it's only really read at boot (kernel is already in memory and isn't read from disk until next boot)Kesara likes this.
