drcursor··on Introducing Sunshine
I can't remember the name, but I'm sure that on the early 2000s I had an app on my Windows mobile device that interfaced with a website that did just this. At the time I did it without thinking about it twice. Now I would not give them my contact data even if they paid me. Google already has it, Facebook and Linkedin already have it - and unfortunately I have no way of getting them to realistically remove that information, but for sure I don't want yet another corporation to get all that info.
drcursor··on OpenVidu: Open-source, multi-platform, WebRTC videoconferences
Please, please fix https://github.com/OpenVidu/openvidu-call/issues/26 as this is the only thing blocking us from actively using it or even thinking about "going" pro.
drcursor··on How to Create a LED Mask Using Arduino, NeoPixels, and C++
This is the mask that will most likely avoid you getting any kind of virus/bacteria/human interaction. Great for these pandemia-panic times.

Is there a way to find out where my google account is hosted ?
drcursor··on The Happy, Healthy Capitalists of Switzerland
I'm not denying anything you just said, I would even add to your list the private health insurance companies with their ever increasing costs, that, for most of the population only serve as a men in the middle for the base (mostly state provided) health care system. I just think its not fair to describe Switzerland as a liberal-capitalist heaven when it clearly is a protected economy with a lot of control from what would normally be defined as the 'state'.
drcursor··on The Happy, Healthy Capitalists of Switzerland
A country so hard core capitalist that most of the key players are state (federation, kanton or city) held ? (Transportation, Weapon Manufacturing, main telecommunication companies, main consumer bank, hospitals, schools) and where some of the largest and most influential companies like supermarkets, furniture shops, etc are cooperatives ?

Hi Walterbell, I want to contact you regarding an old thread here in HN, would you mind reaching out ? https://twitter.com/drcursor
drcursor··on Slack Is Buying HipChat from Atlassian
What bothers me the most with the current on-premises chat solutions is the lack of a true alternative for jabber/xmpp with OTR (or equivalent e2e encryption) support. I honestly hate that in 2018 there is no way to move away from Pidgin/Adium if you want to keep this functionality.

- RocketChat - OTR breaks very easily, and https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/pull/10094 has been open for months - Matrix / Riot - Last I tried it had the most complex and unusable interface - Mattermost - At first glance seems to include E2E, but when reading a little bit more...not really, just at rest encryption - https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-669 - Zulip - nop - https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/6096 - Movim - nop - https://github.com/movim/movim/issues/63 ...

drcursor··on IKEA Electric Standing Desk
This might come as a surprise but not everyone lives in the same country, and as stated on the blogpost alternatives where I live are more than double the price.
drcursor··on IKEA Electric Standing Desk
Then you don't even need a crank - you just get a tall desk. I want something where I can sit comfortably and stand comfortably :)
drcursor··on IKEA Electric Standing Desk
I actually answer that on the blog post - I'm LAZYYYY - I would never have the patience to crank the desk up and down multiple times a day. That's why I actually intend to automate the movement.
drcursor··on IKEA Electric Standing Desk
I actually find this one to be quite sturdy, even at full height it doesn't wobble. Maybe more to do with the way they have them setup at IKEA stores? As you can see on my setup I have a monitor, and 2 laptops on top of the table.
drcursor··on IKEA Electric Standing Desk
Just updated the post with a video of the table going up and down (exciting ! :P )
