Fastidious··on From Poop to Potable
That article is amazing, and an eye opener. I did not know more than half of the things it contains, truly amazing. It is not only education or economics (feces removers make a living), but customs, and customs are hard to change. Very hard.

Thank you for sharing.

Fastidious··on Multi-User Video Conference with WebRTC
Thanks!
Fastidious··on Multi-User Video Conference with WebRTC
For those of us who might not know, this is using Node.js, correct?
Fastidious··on An Update to End-To-End
How could a regular user start using this (unless it is not ready at all for the "fearless ones")?
Fastidious··on FreeBSD coming to DigitalOcean
I used to have a Linux VM on DigitalOcean. At times it became unreachable, there were some downtimes here and there. I decided to go back to FreeBSD (I used to have a FreeBSD VM on John Companies), and did some research. Vultr.com came up at the top, so I moved to them. Two months in, so far so good.
Fastidious··on The Pirate Bay down, forever?
The article mentions KLF. What is that?
Fastidious··on Show HN: Quiver – The Programmer's Notebook
Beautifully made, and very useful. Bought it. Thanks!
Fastidious··on Ask HN: Can we talk about FreeBSD vs. Linux?
I had no had a need for outbound SMTP, but I read on the FAQ there is a form to fill out. Did not know a driver's license was needed--they have my credit card already--seems a bit extreme.
Fastidious··on Ask HN: Can we talk about FreeBSD vs. Linux?
https://vultr.com/ is what I use. No complains.
Fastidious··on Human Artifacts on the Moon
It surprises me that we can get crispy clear photos of Mars, or an asteroid, many millions of miles away, but we can't show a distinct photo of each of these artifacts where they rest.

Anyway, it seems we are very good at polluting.

Fastidious··on BitTorrent Sync security and privacy analysis
Also, not open sourced.

Bottom line: do not use for sensitive data.

Fastidious··on My favourite Zsh features
There is no such menu (tried it on CentOS and OS X). It simply lists the available directories.
Fastidious··on Komments – Simple comment embedding
Where is the repo?
Fastidious··on FastMail app for iOS and Android now available
I see nothing distasteful about it. He is not saying people should not use FastMail. He simply noted something many people might not note.
Fastidious··on GnuPG 2.1.0 “modern” released
Please, post the same for OS X (Yosemite)! I tried and it seems 'modern' requires extra libraries not present.
Fastidious··on Amazon Cloud Drive: Prime Photos
Google Photos requires Google Plus. I do not want it. Google Shopping Express availability is very limited (nor available in my area, for example).

Agree with Netflix, but Amazon Videos has more videos. Eight out of ten, videos not found on Netflix were available for rent on Amazon.

Fastidious··on Amazon Prime Members’ Newest Benefit Is Free, Unlimited Photo Storage
Are you saying that the Amazon Cloud Drive client is allowing to access files on the cloud, that are not synchronized to your machine? If that is the case, this is a first, and it is great to hear!
Fastidious··on Amazon Prime Members’ Newest Benefit Is Free, Unlimited Photo Storage
Amazon Cloud Drive, is it similar to Dropbox, Google Drive and iCloud, in the way it synchronizes data?
Fastidious··on Ask HN: Which domain provider/registrar do you recommend?
Namecheap doesn't charge for the use of their DNS.
Fastidious··on Tim Cook Speaks Up
One of the things my father told me when I was very young was, you should not be proud of things you cannot control (birthplace, sex, race, etc.). He also told me that God (or gods) do not exist. I have not found a reason to discard those two.
Fastidious··on Unlimited Storage with Office 365 Subscription
There seems to be an issue with the Notification Center too (on menu bar). It disappears randomly while Expandrive is open.

Quite buggy, it reminds me why I stopped using it. Shameless plug, sorry!

Fastidious··on Unlimited Storage with Office 365 Subscription
Google Drive broke on the last update. It is very slow.
Fastidious··on GPGTools is about to cost money
Long time user. Looking forward to pay for this excellent suite.
Fastidious··on Apple Accidentally reveals iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3
He said "current" models, not all existing models. I understood current as "latest."
Fastidious··on Apple Accidentally reveals iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3
> This leak is about as accidental as me.

That doesn't say much, does it? I don't know you, were you accidental? :-)

The iOS showing is also 8.1.
Fastidious··on Show HN: Trunk – Private links for you to collect and distribute digital content
That is feasible and not too much to ask. After all, they say it is encrypted.
Fastidious··on Decision to drop ext support from ChromeOS Files.app reversed due to outcry
Succeeded by OS X.
Fastidious··on Decision to drop ext support from ChromeOS Files.app reversed due to outcry
Slightly on topic. I thought OS X was the only OS the named their applications Something.app. ChromeOS does it too?
Fastidious··on Show HN: Trunk – Private links for you to collect and distribute digital content
They say they encrypt them. They are not?
