This has been BBC radio 4's book of the week and as such has been serialised in 5 15 minute parts which will be available on iplayer to UK residents for the next month. I've certainly enjoyed it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09ms55g

The protected food names scheme makes a lot of sense If a food label highlights a regional traditional food then it must come from that area if they have applied for protection. Seems in consumers and manufacturers best interest. Here's a map of British protected foods, I see none I would contest: https://goo.gl/tyE4Bm

I've found the opposite to be true, once you get into the knotty gritty there's so much that can be customized to different use cases. You can have different organisations and 4 levels of user roles. Lots of ways to handle authentication, a great API so everything is scriptable and lots more. It may not quite fit your needs but there's been a lot of effort put into the details. I'd been interested to know the specifics of what you couldn’t achieve with it?

Grafana - The attention to detail is amazing. I've not even looked at similar hosted services, I find it hard to believe they are better.

qwant.com another privacy focussed search engine augments results with Bing.

"Dark web network Tor has said it has no plans to stop the Daily Stormer from using its technology." This straight after having talked about various other services having banned Daily Stormer. It implies Tor is a service controlled by the Tor project who could actually kick Daily Stormer if they wanted. While it could be accidental incompetence I worry this is a deliberate attempt to paint tor negatively in the public’s mind.

Check out the hackaday project page for more detail https://hackaday.io/project/11864-tritiled I should make clear this is not my project.

https://piggydb.net I dont use this myself but it's been on my list of things to investigate for a very long time as it seems like a fresh approch to note taking.

This seems a similar model to the .sucks TLD. They offered domains to company owners for $2500 before offering them to the public.

It's as in "tinpot", British slang meaning low value or little importance.

For many the detail of the hardware does not matter Eg. "Once the packet hits the tin it's no longer my problem". Also talking about a £50k pile of servers as just "tin that needs to be racked" could be a backhanded way of signalling confidence in the task, where others might be intimidated by the cost of the equipment they are dealing with.

Physical servers, with an implication that it's litrally just the hardware and no service level on top. Similar to when people talk about bare metal servers.

It's totally unsupported. If you were not able to just rent the tin and configure this yourself then you're probably not going to be able to maintain it long term. This product is dangerous and some people will learn that too late.

cPanel has no native support for nginx, if you've seen that it's been using a third party plugin. The second most popluar server controlpanel Plesk supports the configuraion you describes bt it's not enabled by default so I doubt will be affected the statistics.

I love this approch from https://careers.bytemark.co.uk/process

"There's no "cultural fit" requirement. If you have a skill we like and you can learn and work with a team, you'll get on fine here. You'll be our company culture, and we welcome your contribution."

There is a limit of 2 * $2.50 instances per account.

Not as shit as Skype for business

I was hoping that this would be a maintained fork of http://dashing.io/

Reading the legislation its not "Entire Internet history" as most people would understand it. It looks very much like they are asking for NetFlow data without saying that explicitly. They want a Time stamp, port, source and destination IP and amount of data transferred. This is terrifying, I think the “Internet history” narrative is being setup to be deliberately confusing.

There was a dicsussion and interview with studys author (srongly named as Johsn in the arstechnica aticle) recently on BBC radio 4's Inside cience. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07jqr1y 15:10

Wordpress is not easy for an amateur but that's missing the point. It has driven down the cost of website development. Cheap cookie cutter Wordpress sites by budget developers are good enough for very many people.

Gluster provides files storage but not block storage.

This was a subtle reference to the tiling windows manager named awesome which can be configured to do much of what is show here.

Awesome.
