A recent redesign to YouTube has hidden the ability to subscribe to channel RSS feeds. While the Web runs on RSS and there is nothing Google can do about it, many companies are trying to get you to sign up for an account by finding clever ways to hide their feed links. And as a [...]

If you’re like me, you’re probably pissed off that the crucial Firefox extension Adblock Plus, with its new Version 2 has become crippled by a sleazy payoff to allow “non-intrusive” advertising from a whitelist maintained by the developer. “75% of users agree” with yet another tech-industry sellout based on some alleged “user survey”. Quotes from [...]

…it’s been busy. Lots of stuff to do. Mainly me installing Slackware Linux, so I can take care of the Linux-related stuff for coredumpcentral.org. I still have more to do. As I’ve stated before, Slackware is the purest when it comes to maintaining control over your own physical property. I’ve mentioned frequently on this blog [...]

I have joined the Amazon Associates program. This led to some changes on the site which are user-friendly and non-intrusive. Unlike Google AdSense, which I used years ago with moderate success (and tried again briefly before shutting down the account a few months ago), Amazon Associates requires a purchase of some kind (with certain exceptions) [...]

UPDATE 8/31: Power back this afternoon – we’re back in action! Fixed missing link to flag and added thumbnail. I am blogging here from the Milford, PA library computers because the hurricane has left us without power for two days now. In the towns everything is mostly fine, but not true of the woods where [...]

I had held for a long time that OpenBSD was the best, not only for security reasons, but to escape corporate and government influence. Unlike Linux and FreeBSD, which have involvement and sponsorship by the NSA, other government agencies & contractors, and large multinational corporations, with built in “remote attestation” and “optional” built-in support for [...]

The easiest way to do this is to remove all references and links to Wikipedia from your site. I myself have just deleted various blog posts and modified others that mention or link to Wikipedia, and intend to avoid discussing the site in the future. Mentioning or linking to Wikipedia (or Wikimedia Commons, or any [...]

There have been a lot of posts (and political lobbying) within the past few years by a dying Media 1.0 establishment and a gullible public to discourage the creation and reading of blogs, this time by encouraging Twitter and Facebook as replacements for blogs. Examples: 1 2 3 4 Rather than go on a standard [...]

When I heard that Pakistan had blocked access to 800+ sites as a reaction to the Everyone Draw Muhammad Day campaigns, I was just curious as to whether my site was affected, given the recent anti-Islam statements. So I decided to find a proxy server based in Pakistan, plug the settings into Firefox and check [...]

They don’t even give any reasoning anymore behind their unwelcome infringements on your right to free speech. I’m not just talking about the government – I’m talking about every aspect of your personal life.
