I seem to remember only installing mongodb, and then pump automagically worked with it after setting "driver": "mongodb" in the config. Probably I should set some username/password somewhere as well, though...
@J. Randal Matheny That's correct, yes. (Apart from the fact that we speak Swiss German and although it's not officially a written language, we like to post stuff in Swiss German, then it would be "Guete Morgä" )
Hope they left you get away with some blood left...
I have a Brazilian friend in Bern, have promised to get over there to visit. Maybe I should start working on my Swiss German, eh?
I had to crawl away on my hands and knees. Actually, with a finger on the round bandaid in the crook of my arm. The attendant was good. Got my artery, pumped six tubes of blood, kept puncture from bleeding. Though maybe that last virtue was mine, reckon?
A phone produced under fair conditions sounds like a good idea. But it looks to me like it's one of these things that will never actually come to life: http://www.fairphone.com/index.html
But this doesn't that they will ever produce more than the few pre-ordered phones. Reminds me of a lot other, well-meant projects that never gained any momentum but died in the first phase. (OpenMoko being one of them.)
I think this will have a bigger chance of success than OpenMoko, because of the wider appeal. Even my non-geek friends are excited by the environmental and social aspects of it.
Well true, and they go for Android 4.2 - another plus for broad acceptance. But still, I'm not convinced that carriers will be interested in it - and a phone won't be successful unless carriers support and sell it.
At least here in Finland a lot of phones are sold without carriers, it used to be forbidden to sell phones locked to a carrier before 2006. I've only once bought a phone that way (and that was because it wasn't available any other way).
FairPhone does mention Vodafone as one of their supporters - whatever that means. Vodafone is the world's second largest telecom company (according to Wikipedia).
I'm on the fence myself w/re to preordering it. Mostly because I don't need a new phone just now. It isn't very environmentally friendly to buy a new one when the old one works OTOH I'd really like to support them...
I just bought the Nexus 4 a month ago. So I definitely won't get one. And since I'm on a contract I get good conditions on a new phone every two years as long as I get it from a place which is allowed to sell phone subsidised by my carrier.
@Mr. X That's a very good point. But whether we are tracked in the 1st World or whether people work under crap conditions in the 3rd are two totally different issues. And IMHO the second is doing a lot more harm than the first ATM.
Looks like I have to switch my VPS provider. I thought I could use my more or less idle VPS to share Debian ISOs and the like. But it turns out that #Hetzner disallows torrents (altogether, not only illegal filesharing..)
I just started reading Cory Doctorows Homeland and since it contains a pretty accurate description how to make cold brew coffee I started with his version.
Ah, nice :) I've got Homeland, but I haven't read it yet. Still reading Pirate Cinema (mixed in with some other books I'm reading at the same time... :)
Because you know what, he's right! And when you're already at it, go and read his books. Because they are awesome and he even lets you read them for free:
My laptop is building #Sage 5.8 - and until I've got Sage running, I wont be able to continue my work. So I might as well go outside and test my new mountains bike...
Just getting started this fine holiday morning. The sun is bouncing its luminosity off the clouds and making its presence felt more and more. The Missus hasn't stirred yet, and as she's today's birthday girl, I'm letting her snooze. Only me and the gurgle of the aquarium at the moment.
It's the intel graphics driver. When I try to suspend all I get is a text mode dash in the upper left corner. And from there is no way to get it to wake back up again...
It Wheezy RC 1 - so it's soon to be stable. (One week to go). But OpenBSD isn't known for bleeding edge software either. They are both on pretty ancient Firefox releases.
Good morning everyone. I'm installing Debian Wheezy RC1 on a USB drive and drink !tea. Since I couldn't sleep any more this seemed a sensible thing to do on a Sunday morning.
I'm pretty pleased with what I've got already. I wasn't aware that my laptop boots from SD. So now my system runs from an encrypted SD. I just have to check whether everything works (most important of all: pen tablet and xournal)
Reminds me I bought it from Humble Bundle some time ago. If that's the game that starts on a cold snowy island (?), then I've played maybe first 10 minutes of it, but no more... :) I really should get back to it.
