Comment <markdown> markup in HTML (Score 1) 204

shamelessly putting forward a young project of mine but look, here I'm using markdown (piped to anything, pandoc works fine) inside HTML documents and in multiple blocks throught the document.
webnomad is a minimal implementation to use <markdown> </markdown>inside a plain html and bootstrap styled website. I hope this inspires someone. I'd advocate for markup tags inside HTML6 eheh

Comment Re:What is MediaGoblin? (Score 2) 37

Jeff Moe from LulzBot here (aka jebba). Thanks for your nice comments. :)

We actually don't have an interest in *running* a free/open/libre repository, but we'd sure like to see one exist. Ideally, there should be a thingiverse-like site that is run more like the Wikipedia Foundation. A "neutral" non-profit, with no ads, run by donations. The donations can come from various 3D printer companies and end users.

Also note, some folks think MediaGoblin is the hosting site. They are just the makers of the web software. Anyone can set up a MediaGoblin site on their own servers. With luck, many will do so.

Jeff Moe here, founder of Aleph Objects, Inc. maker of the LulzBot 3D printer. Note this is a printer which makes *objects*, not a printer that prints on paper.

I haven't spent much time on /. recently. I appreciate the post and the positive comments from many of you. The others, not so much. ;) I typically use the nick "jebba", but this account got set up with "yeb" for some reason, long forgot.

I am a long time supporter of free software, open culture, open publishing, etc. I am not a communist, as you can figure out if you go to opensecrets.org or many other places (cf. http://thebubblefilm.com/ )

Just saying hi. Thanks again, and happy hacking!

FYI Another "Working Computer Museum" up since about 15 years in Palazzolo Acreide, Sicily, nearby Siracusa,
privately run by volunteers and collectors: http://museum.dyne.org/
(website in Italian and some english, remote access to computers offered via telnet and ssh)
Definitely the way to go. Wait another 20 years and we'll all be establishment :^)

Submission + - Running Tor on your TV (dyne.org)

jaromil writes: "TorTV is an early effort to embed Tor in household computing: run it on your TV at home. So far only WDTV installed with the homebrew WDLXTV firmware is supported. What other platforms do you think are viable for it?"

Submission + - Inside Amazon's Warehouse (mcall.com)

jaromil writes: "The Morning Call interviewed 20 current and former Amazon warehouse workers who offered a behind-the-scenes glimpse of what it's like to work in there. This investigative journalism piece debunks some frightening aspects on labor conditions for the IT business corporation, "They're killing people mentally and phisically" an ex-worker declared."
GNU is Not Unix

Submission + - dyne:bolic 3.0.0 "MUNIR" released (dynebolic.org) 1

jaromil writes: "We've hit slashdot for more reasons than a simple release in the past, yet it might be worth to know that, after 5 years of inactivity, a new development campaign has started for dyne:bolic GNU/Linux, one of the earliest 100% free distributions vetted by the FSF. As it was for dyne:II there will be new and unseen "LiveOS" features coming out during the dyne:III development cycle which should last 3 or 4 years from now. There is a shiny new website to document them and here is the release announcement. Ciao."
Debian

Submission + - Debian 6 out now (debian.org)

jaromil writes: Debian/GNU comes with Linux and FreeBSD kernels and is developed by a huge yet coordinated amount of people: it is much more than an operating system, it is a universe :) indeed, that's also what says Debian's brand new website.
