I'm old enough to have learned how to navigate without GPS or even maps. I use GPS nowadays
Jesus Christ Potatoes! How old ARE you?! They had already invented maps long before I was old enough to drive!
I've been using Seafile since April and I am very, very pleased with it. It is one of the few self hosted options that supports client side encryption and manages to scale up to a reasonably large number of files. It fell down on me in the 100k file range, but I was able to get around that issue by breaking my data up into smaller libraries.
The client side encryption was slightly problematic in the 1.x releases. Back then, you had to type your encryption passphrase into the server to create a new library. As of 2.0 you can create new libraries in the client without your passphrase leaving your local machine. You still can't dig through your file revision history without giving the server your passphrase; hopefully that functionality will be integrated into the client in the future.
I took a quick look at SparkleShare, ownCloud, and BitTorrent Sync, but none of them were a good fit for me. BitTorrent Sync only encrypts your data while it is in flight, ownCloud only supports server side encryption, and you can't properly store Git repos under SparkleShare.
I did a quick comparison of the runtime of an 80 GB Intel X25-M to that of the 120 GB 7200 RPM drive. Graphs and numbers are available on my site. I measured about a 10% improvement on my 3 year old laptop.
In some states, an adult is legally required to provide ID to any cop who asks - it's actually illegal to walk down the street without a driver's license (or non-driver's ID). We seem to have little regard for the Constitution.
You would be incorrect.
There is for example an unresolved bug in ubuntu 8.10 which has bit me severly. It relates to total failure of sleep/hibernate and all that wonderful functionality on pci-e boxes.
Are you saying that all my laptops with pci-e video chipsets should be failing to suspend? Suspend and hibernate have worked fine on all my laptops for many years with Ubuntu, 8.10 or otherwise.
And no I won't provide the link to the bug, find it yourself on launchpad [launchpad.net] (I believe that is the correct access point)
It might be worth looking for the bug if you are more specific about the problem since there certainly isn't a suspend problem with every pci-e equipped machine.
And while uptimes are great, I often need to shut my box down so as to avoid cooking the occupants of my small apartment because it gets so bloody hot in here (26-27+`Celcius) in the middle of a Canadian winter with the heating set at 22.
The only thing that I dislike after resuming from a suspend is waiting for the damned wifi to connect. Resume takes 2-3 seconds or less. Reconnecting sometimes seems to take forever, especially in busy apartment complexes with 20+ aps in range.
Feel disillusioned? I've got some great new illusions, right here!
