Hey, that's some great customer feedback from someone who wants a robust and secure management engine on their machine. but -

> Even if you ignore the "it's an NSA backdoor" FUD, ... I would like to ask you if this is FUD then why is it fucking impossible to buy a modern CPU **without** these back doors (oh, sorry, "management interfaces" if you insist), despite persistent calls for them and despite the intensity with which they are loathed?

Comment Almost exclusively for my media (Score 1) 438

Podcasts and RSS news feeds easily account for over 90% of my media consumption.

If a media site offers an RSS feed, I might subscribe to it for awhile to see if it offers the kind of content I'm interested in.

If a media site does not offer RSS, I will probably ignore it unless I know for certain that I want to read its articles etc.

> video conferencing is just compensating for managements insecurity

I would have agreed with you until recently, when I started collaborating on a creative project with a non-technical friend. He was really in favor of occasional video conferencing, so we've been doing that, and it really has added an important dimension to our work.

I prefer to self-host whenever possible, so while we conduct much of our communication via a Mattermost instance, I would really like to ditch Google Hangouts for something I can host myself too, and works well on Linux (me) and Mac (him).

Comment Re:Mattermost (Score 1) 68

We have Slack at work. I recently set up a Mattermost instance for a personal project. Very much a work-alike - and of course can be self-hosted.

Though I didn't use it, Mattermost has an "omnibus" install that encapsulates pretty much everything requires to run it - web server, database server, etc.
