A reasonably sober LAN party with added takeaway sounds like fun though. :-) Also, just watched the Hunger Games 1080p x264-encoded mp4 on a Raspberry Pi and it worked flawlessly. No scrolling issues, not stuttering, no sync problems. Great quality picture (pity about the film). Then I put on a normal DVD, and it's a completely different story! I guess this is due to the Broadcom graphics chip and hardware acceleration? I'm not really fussed as I already have a clapped out, archaic DVD player for playing 'legacy' formats. ;^) Robin On Monday 01 December 2014 11:59:54 Les Pritchard wrote: > Well so far the takeaway is just edging out.

You’re lagging a bit though mate - I suggested a crypto-party four weeks ago ;-) An encrypted mailing list is a bit of an oxymoron. It’s also difficult to work with. The only way it would work is if the mailing list server had a copy of everyone’s public keys and then auto-encrypted using said keys. That’s not very secure, for a compromised server means an easy MITM attack. > On 8 Dec 2014, at 10:38, Stuart Burns wrote: > > You know, we could have a key signing party one evening.

That way, people and verify a finger print is yours based on your Tweet/Facebook. Obviously then publish the public key to pgp.mit.edu and you’re done. Don’t try and invent your own scheme.

There are a few plugins that claim to do something similar to what you want but I've never tested them. You can use the WordPress export and then import functions to copy content over, but it's not that straight forward sometimes. What are you looking to test?

I finally have a dedicated linux box now to have a play with. I installed Ubuntu 14.10 on a laptop, but it has a strange issue whereby if I restart it or on the first cold boot, it gets past the BIOS screen but then the screen goes blank. If I hard power off and power on I then get GRUB and it boots into the OS without any issues - have I missed something here or is something amiss?

There was a whiff of interest in "that other Twitter type thing that's not" so if thy dear reader is interested, allow me to explain (bore) a couple of the best things IMHO. GNU Social (formerly StatusNet, formerly Laconi.ca) is a decentralised (the site code can handle multiple sites) and federated (one/multiple networks communicating by a common message protocol). The most populous instance was Identi.ca; it migrated to a new 'engine' PumpIO, powered by ActivityStreams, which is also a decentralised and federated protocol. What I actually love about it: ActivityStreams means that not just notes can be posted. The primary feed (the main column) is indeed only notes and images as they're *super* easy to display fully (no reason why any other activity can be put there if the site/instance knows how to). The Meanwhile (secondary) column is all the other activities; seldom have I see anything other than wrote/favourited/deleted a note/image/comment, but some more involved community members post other activities. Either way, posts use the "actor verb object" pattern: Actor Verb Object DisplayText Robin write a note "Robin wrote a note" Les post a picture "Les posted "River Dee in snow"" Stuart shutdown 10.40.21.123 "10.40.21.123 went down" Ben travel 2C42 "Ben travelled from Chester to Sandhills" The display text is a arbitrary HTML string, so "note" could hyperlink to the note itself, "10.40.21.123" may not hyperlink to that server but perhaps the company service status page, and "Chester to Liverpool" may hyperlink to the journey status on National Rail / Realtime Trains. Hush but I'm in the middle of making a webapp to make it really easy to post any activity I think useful (expanding my current Ruby scripts). There is even more to this that I won't go into now; for example that private messages are possible as they are just notes with only one recipient, so only the creator and recipient can see and reply to it. Public and "only Followers" posts use special recipients that the PumpIO engine identifies and delivers accordingly. Nifty.

Indeed there's feeds of stuff, but that's as far as it goes. RSS is a standard way of consuming a feed of items: a document (XML) format that defines how to link to an item and provide a bit of detail (title, body, published date) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS#Example You may have software to consume the feed document, and it regularly requests an updated list of it's items. ActivityStreams are, simply, a much richer definition for the Item. It's the document format that Pump.io uses to serialise activities. Stuff can be added at will: the data published in Les' post may describe his camera (a "device" maybe with it's name and manufacturer/product URL) and where he took the photo (a "place" that has an "address" and the lat/long/alt "position"). If a really good Pump.io website or app - it's a protocol, the websites can represent it however they want - understood what a "place" was then it could draw a map and pin. That extra "place" info will literally be tacked on the end of the post data. What could RSS display of all this? Just the title, a blurb of text and URL to the post (https://identi.ca/note/wfohb2obr23 or whatever). (The federation and decentralisation features aren't really relevent in this reply focussing on data formats.)
