A Ruby blog. Very simple and fast and cool. Makes micro-mailing lists: Comments are done via email!

I learned about it through sup‘s blog (all-thing.net is apparently gone)

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 console RSS reader.

For what it is, I like it. I don’t think I’ll either rely on RSS, or even the console, enough to use this.

An APT like system for Slackware package management. It allows one to search slackware mirrors and third party sources for packages, compare them with installed packages, install new packages, or upgrade all installed packages. Great for scripting as well.

Does dependency checking!
