Nice to see that Mandriva is still alive and kicking. Used it when it was still “Mandrake”. Started as a recompile of RedHat optimized for 586, iirc.

What’s the USP for Mandriva these days?

Daily I think. It’s an automated thing.

You can see some stats here.

Use Magic Earth or Organic Maps instead of Google Maps too. Neither will track you.

By not testing it properly before running it over the whole file system resulting in a few hours of extra work cleaning up the mess I made.

Very true. I used to do magic with xargs when working as a sysadm. Also a good way to mess up on a grand scale. Ask me how I know.

I don’t change the headline generally, but I also didn’t catch that it wasn’t “the real” matrix.

Probably an implementation issue. Make a small error there, like storing parts of a key in memory or something like that and you’ve compromised security.

Waze is google these days. They bought it some time ago.

Especially with the Easy Install Bundle for Windows. Sets everything up for you.

If you’re using it to browse webpages on the clearnet then yes, it’s slower, because that’s not the use-case for i2p. I’ve seen speeds around 1MBit/s which isn’t lightning fast, but also not terrible for an anonymous network.

That’s because you’re using it for a purpose it wasn’t intended. I2P isn’t designed to be used to browse the regular internet, for that it’s better to use TOR. However for anonymous torrenting or accessing i2p-sites, it’s quite fast imho.

Is it much slower though? I know it was, but is it still true? I get decent speeds on my torrents.

Take StreetComplete with you when you’re out and do pokemon-style quests while at the same time improve the map of the area you’re in.
It’s very fun and quite addictive, and the data you’re providing is open source so it’s not free labour for some huge company.

OpenStreetmap as an alternative to the closed source maps.

OrganicMaps or OsmAnd to navigate and StreetComplete or EveryDoor to improve it.

I’m using StreetComplete to contribute to OpenStreetmap almost daily.

Does that count?

Same.

I absolutely would, or my wife would be very annoyed with me.

Also I’d have a stern talk with said 20- something as (s)he’d have no business in my bed in the first place.

Compiled my own kernel way back when and decided that network support wasn’t really needed, on a computer locked away in a room to which I didn’t have access, late one evening with nobody else around to unlock it.

Also deleting the whole /boot folder to see if I could fix it.

Time or money?

Time to openstreetmap, i2p, Wikipedia and others. Money to KDE, UN, Amnesty, and others.
