Re:ISO week date on Thursday December 26, 2019 @08:06AM (#21883494)
A common way at Volvo Cars is to write and talk about dates in this way; week two day three, or 20wk02d3 or just 20w02d3.

Which would translate to Wednesday January 8th year 2020

It is useful for deadlines because you always now how many weeks it is left.

Not running this but we are running a Matrix Homeserver at our place. Works great: https://matrix.org/

The study Mercier and some European colleagues did together which is mention in this article seems very similar to The Choice Blindness study.

The only one with Fido2 at the moment I know is Microsoft Outlook/Office365.
Almost like Maritime VHF radio. The HAM radio guys are doing more crazy stuff so I don't count them.
Re:Finland's basic income trial falls flat on Tuesday April 24, 2018 @02:32AM (#16910397)
Everyone should read about how Finland is governance the country with new ideas and concepts, other countries do is just stupid and based on different bias, political views or just idiocy in some cases.

The experiment of basic income was not intended to expand to the whole country it was a study, to gather data.

Re:Storing Renewable Energy Using Thermodynamics on Thursday February 01, 2018 @03:52PM (#16285771)
The issue with storing energy is that en investment of building infrastructure to transport the energy where it is deficit of energy is a more market safe solution.
It does not work like that, the gateway will not be able to show anything, and if you would like to go through a gateway you would have to share your secret key with that Gateway, which means full control of your log.

The first time you use Secure Scuttlebutt will be boring because it will be an empty town, you will not have anything and you will not see anyone's feed either. The magic happens when you start following someone or you are at the same network as someone else your client start downloading the log of your friend and the log your friend have stored from their friends, and the feed is filled with information. You will even be able to view your social network offline and you will even be able to do comments in other peoples feeds and it will sync when you are online again.

Most likley you will not be on the same network as anyone else which means you will not be able to see anyone so the solution is to walk in to a pub where almost everyone in the town are

You will find a list of public pubs which can be used in Patchwork to access other feeds https://github.com/ssbc/scuttlebot/wiki/Pub-Servers

What the Pub solve is that you can download a bunch of peoples feed without they and their friends have to be online.

Re:My experience with Firefox Quantum [as compared to Chromium] on Tuesday November 21, 2017 @03:42AM (#15746618)
I started to use Firefox Quantum after a 8 years long breakup. I'm impressed, so impressed that Firefox Quantum is the first browser I'm paying for every month, there is a donate link on Mozilla's homepage in the footer.
Re:Spain blocks IPFS gateway over Catalan referendum content on Wednesday September 27, 2017 @10:25AM (#15348052)
To bad that there is no good browsers with good ipfs support otherwise this would be unstoppable.
Saw now that I commented in a newer post:

What I have seen the small amount of time I have spent on Gnu Social is that the Privacy settings is not feasible. You can close down your profile that only your accepted followers will be able to see and interact with your private posts. The issue I have addressed is that, if you want to have followers of your public feed and let friends access the private feed there is no option for that.
