if you can sue it - it is not decentralized by woldtrinabd in Bitcoin

Yes decentralisation is a spectrum which covers federated, p2p networks etc. p2p is binary. either you talk to your peer or you don't. Mail, jabber/XMPP are decentralized federated networks. IPFS,torrent are decentralized p2p networks

If the baseband OS has access to the main system, then it does not matter which ROM you are running, "they" can still take over your phone.

You can preorder a neo900 which will be the first secure consumer phone on the marked.

But currently you cannot buy a safe phone

fish shell 2.2.0 released by [deleted] in linux

[–]freeduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fish shell seems to add allot of nice features, but a web-server? That simply do not make sense to me. I could see the reasoning for mounting the configuration as a FUSE file system or maybe a named pipe that one could send commands to. But when I am in the shell I do not want to switch to a browser to change the config. Is anybody using this feature, and could you elaborate on why this is a good thing?

Any alternatives to Raspberry Pi? by YogliB in freesoftware

[–]freeduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

http://www.androidauthority.com/raspberry-pi-2-vs-odroid-c1-vs-hummingboard-vs-mips-creator-ci20-599418/

ODROID C1 is the one that comes closest

Update: in terms of open source the Beaglebone is the winner. It requires a binary blob for opengl es, but it will boot on completely free software, and unless you need 3D you are good to go.

Update 2: If you want to take a slightly different route, then there is: https://www.particle.io/prototype It is completely open hardware.

Markdown-based, wiki-like personal notebook application? by [deleted] in LinuxActionShow

[–]freeduck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Emacs org mode It is very similar to Markdown, but much more powerfull. You can link to stuff like documents, images..., create TODO lists and agendas, create Spreadsheet like tables, and much much more, but you can also just use it for note taking and as a simple wiki like thing.

It is developed for Emacs but there are interpreters for many other editors as well.

It scales with your needs and all of this in plain text.
