I work at the engineering firm, Exaltation of Larks, and at the Droplabs network of coworking spaces, which are two companies I co-founded.
In my spare time I'm a public speaker on open source software, high performance websites and internet security, and am a startup mentor and Drupal community manager and organizer.
My new company is Solar Ignition, a venture capital seed fund and accelerator program. We back entrepreneurs working on big ideas and values-based businesses using open source principles.

MailMate’s correspondence viewer looks great. The conversations add-on for Thunderbird keeps locking up for me, even when I’m in the middle of writing an email. Maddening.
“TurboTax and other tax prep companies misled millions of Americans into paying to file their taxes even though they could do it for free. That sucks ass. … We think it should be easy to file your taxes - even if you still use TurboTax. … File for free by clicking the links below.”

“Computing for COVID is a way for anyone to fire up a cloud computer that contributes immediately in the search for finding drug targets. This app allows you to support researchers at the University of Washington's Baker Lab in their computational requirements as part of their Coronavirus Response.”
My bet is Vertical Limit is the next movie to trend (after Contagion): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_Limit
Ouch. Marketing copy like this doesn’t endear me to /any/ product or service. Unless (maybe) it’s intentionally trying to be cheeky.
Curious what code changes the FSF made to their copy of Jitsi Meet. Is anyone able to report on this?
The last time I looked through the Jitsi Meet config files, by default it uses Google’s TURN servers to route the calls. Not sure how Brave Together is doing it.
Strangely, the setup screen doesn’t seem to differentiate between “automatic” (i.e. “simple”) and “advanced” setup and filling out the fields is necessary for both when using the advanced setup mode.
This is answered in the FAQ:
Can I re-use my existing private key?
Yes. The best way is to send an Autocrypt Setup Message from the other e-mail client. Look for something like Start Autocrypt Setup Transfer in the settings of the other client and follow the instructions shown there.
Alternatively, you can import the key manually in “Advanced settings / Manage private keys”. Caution: Make sure the key is not protected by a password, or remove the password beforehand.
If you don’t have a key or don’t even know you would need one - don’t worry: Delta Chat generates one as needed, you don’t have to hit a button for it.
I’d jailbreak my iPad Pro immediately if I could get multiuser support. I really hope the multiuser stuff from tvOS 13 or Apple’s implementation for education accounts make it into iPad OS.
“The different endpoints suggest that nicotine might be lowering viral load, or something of that nature, and nicotine is known to have some funky immunological effects. But the benefit, if it exists, can’t be attributed to nicotine until that’s established independently.”
Fortunately this might be easy to test given that transdermal nicotine patches can deliver nicotine without the associated smoke, tar, morning cough, etc. that the article mentions in passing. I’m curious how this plays out.
Just had to be sure to omit the B2 external storage folder from the backups on my Nextcloud server.
Now only if Virtualmin (YC ‘08) supported virtual server backups to S3-compatible B2 cloud storage… There’s an open ticket for this at https://www.virtualmin.com/node/65024
(It’s also ~$200 / year, not $300 / year, but now I’m just seeming pedantic.)
Meetup was acquired by AlleyCorp and “other private investors” according the the TechCrunch article.
“You can opt out of this use or your Apple relationship information by emailing our privacy team at dpo@apple.com with the subject line ‘Apple Relationship Data and Apple Card.’”
What I did was set up a vanilla Jitsi Meet instance (on DigitalOcean) and then create a shared user / pass per room share with my team. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
