My policy in general is to have as few moving parts as possible. The few inter-dependant projects, the simpler the software, the more straightforward the setup is the easier everything becomes.
PulseAudio is a steaming pile of shit which I’ve never had working correctly. Even finding basic documentation on how to use it isn’t out there.

I was in one of my moods, so I’m sure that didn’t help. She didn’t react favourably – probably because she was in one of her moods, and she dropped the ban hammer. But since I’m anti-deletionist I kept everything.
I could get into things, and give my thoughts, but the point of this is to be anti-deletionist and nothing more.
What follows are my comments. Originally posted on a blog but not allowed to be published. I saved them and am posting them here, without context. I think they stand alone fairly well.

Since Radar magazine doesn’t have it anymore (archive.org archive), and Scroogle isn’t showing it, here is the short story which inspired Scroogle:

A video hosting website.
It used to be great, but Google took it over, removed video responses, fucked up comments and left the service in shambles.

Tor can be thought of like a secure proxy.
I experimented with it during my research on Replacing Firefox.
UPDATE: Tor has been subverted for some time. I know when and how, with confirmation, but not by whom.
It must not be used for high-level security requirements (governmental, military, international) and probably even mid-level requirements (corporate, police). Little people using it as a proxy are fine.
Don’t do anything illegal with it if you’re within three degrees of a Bad Guy. So.. don’t use it for anything illegal. Remember that PRISM records everything, so that, once flagged, you can be found retroactively guilty (even by association) for past internet usage.

A documentary-style mini-series that touches on bunches of the history of western science, but then gets absolutely horrifyingly abysmally wrong. So wrong as to be a bunch of lies.
