Jani flattr'd Amnesty International. Hadn't known that they could be. https://flattr.com/thing/130120/Amnesty-International
Jani Muunlaiset organisaatiot saisivat videonjakelussa ottaa #TV7:stä mallia. livestreamin (websivulla Flash, lisäksi myös asx/wmv) ohella ohjelmia voi katsella jälkikäteen streamaten (websivulla Flash) tai ladata MP4:nä. Tekstitys suomeksi ja viroksi. Oikeastaan tästä ei puutu muuta kuin avoin lisenssi (CC) ollakseen täydellisen modernia nettijakelua. Tai niin no, asiasisältö on tietysti sitten asia erikseen.
Jani The problem with Internet knowledge is this: people don't know How To Ask Questions The Smart Way, so rather than presenting the problem they're trying to solve ("how do I achieve X?") they present their own attempts at a solution ("how do I do Y so that I can achieve X"), and still get answers from helpful others to their real problem ("you can achieve X by doing Z").
The problem with this is that search engines (wrongly) pick the issue represented by the initial post as the question ("how do I do Y?"), resulting in frustration for someone genuinely interested in answers to _that_ question rather than solving an OP's true problem. Just google "how do I do Y" and you'll find a million threads supposedly about Y, but immediately derailing to "don't do Y, do Z instead".
Jani tried btrfs for the new SSD. It ended with 'parent transid verify failed' and a kernel panic. Not gonna bother with a bug report about it because this happened in virtualization, and I don't know for sure the gravity of the problem wasn't just due to that.
Jani flattr'd AdBlock for Chrome.
Jani I wish there was one-stop online documentation on computer hardware. I don't mean manufacturers' sites, they're too scattered and (rightly so) individual solutions. But why isn't there an Internet Hardware Database? A community-edited wiki documenting which features are present on which (revision of which) piece of hardware.
I've kept my own wiki for the hardware at my disposal and it's proved valuable many many times over the years. But detailed data for hardware I'm only just considering can be a pain to find.
A presently acute example: which current desktop motherboards' UEFI support ATA security features?
Jani On the surface the 2012 Millennium Technology Prize laureates summary ("creation of a new open source operating system for computers leading to the widely used #Linux kernel") seems to get Linus' work backwards (wasn't it rather "creation of a new open source kernel leading to the widely used Linux-based operating systems"?), but I think a nitpicker should conclude that's *exactly* how it went: he began to write an OS and came to create a kernel (and a development ecosystem!) that, combined with GNU, conquered the world.
Jani perusti Tor-palvelimen Amazonin pilveen. Iisi ja globaalisti hyödyllinen tapa tutustua EC2:een. https://www.globalproxycloud.net/
Jani harkitsee taas Facebookista luopumista. En oman yksityisyyteni takia vaan muiden: pelkään antavani palvelulle legitimiteettiä jota se ei ansaitse, kun oma yksityisyydestäni piittaamattomuus ja yksityisyystietoisuuteni yhdistyvät (vähemmän yksityisyys- ja tietotekniikkatietoisten) ihmisten mielissä vääräksi tulkinnaksi Facebookin ansiokkuudesta tässä suhteessa. Toisaalta palvelun tarjoamalle leikki-Internetille on kyllä samoilla ihmisillä varmasti oikeastikin tarvetta.
Jani BOINC Managerin suomennos oli kökkö. Tein siitä paremman. Tämä projekti on kyllä malliesimerkki siitä kuinka vapaiden ohjelmien käännökset tulisi minusta kaikki hoitaa: edes mitään kirjautumista ei edellytetty. Yksinkertainen käptsäkin vain kerran kysyttiin. Ubuntu Suomen suomennosbyrokraatit saisivat ottaa mallia.
