And when your provider is trusted, the government isn't, and with one subpoena or warrant your provider has to hand over your data. That's why we will use OwnCloud, or a similar program, in the near future for cloud based computing. At the moment we store everything in encrypted containers on our own server and on encrypted ext. HDD's and USB sticks around our neck, and we use VPN's for surfing on the internet.<br /><br />Paranoia? No, don't think so. In the past our foundation learned from court cases that anything can and will be used against you, even things you consider as harmless. The authorities can make or break you, and they will break you eventually when you don't walk the line. 1984 is already here, the Dutch government is the biggest eavesdropper in the world, to name some. Even after Snowden, most people in the Netherlands say "I have nothing to hide", "they do it for our safety". That's a lie, and it's a shame that people are so ignorant. The governments are controlled by the big money, they are not really there for you, the citizen. Soon enough people will find out the truth, I hope. I am more concerned about digital threats coming from the authorities than threats coming from hackers and cybercriminals. I will protect my foundation, my own community, against the authorities using cryptography, to keep them at least at distance for a while.<br /><br />Besides this rant, overall I am a happy guy, watching the children in our foundation bloom and grow to real individuals, not walking the line, but living their own, unique lifes ;)Tinctoriusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914319645805824344.post-47280561232493286142013-12-17T06:18:25.861-08:002013-12-17T06:18:25.861-08:00Slowly but surely, in present days, games are more...Slowly but surely, in present days, games are more present on GNU/Linux.

Yes most games are made for windows, but this is changing much in part to Valve's efforts, and things like the Unity engine. Just the other day we got a AAA title, Metro Last Light, and other big studios have made announcements of plans to release Linux games in the future. I still keep a W7 partition for a few games, as many of us do.

All these are good points, except the free software argument. There are tons of free programs for Windows that works just as good as program of the same calibre you have to pay for, and sometimes even better. <br /><br />The only reason that I still use Windows 7 on my desktop is because I have not come to the point of testing games on my laptop to see what runs well in wine and what I need W7 for. Depending on the outcome of the tests I might need dual booting or a W7 virtual machine. <br /><br />All these are good points for moving to Linux, but I've also torn my hair out quite a few times because of some illogical Windows problems. I've experience that Windows suffer more often with program crashes, program conflicts, driver conflicts than Linux. <br /><br />Another selling point is that you have to install Windows again at one point because of the wear, and that a Windows.<br /><br />I don't think Windows can hold a candle to Linux based OS, and the only reason that I see any value in Windows is because of games.

I use Vtiger for CRM - after looking at SalesForce and SugarCRM, I was extremely impressed with the personal service that the Vtiger crew gave me & opted for them. This makes far more strategic sense time/resource wise for my particular business, than running my own server. In addition I use Google Apps, despite what I consider to be an appalling level of disrespect for personal privacy. I may move to a service provider such as Zoho or something similar, if Google continue along their current reductionist,"people as data" trajectory. Service providers of any ilk should have user data completely locked down as far as I am concerned, with disclosure reserved for situations where there is a genuine suspicion of terrorist, abusive or other destructive & anti-libertarian behavior.
