Nog meer beveiligingscamera's in Leuven? Neen dank u!

Submitted by Dimitri Dhuyvetter on Sat, 28/01/2012 - 13:37

De lokale politie van Leuven is vast van plan het aantal beveiligingscamera's in de binnenstad op te voeren van 21 naar een zeventigtal. Is Leuven zo onveilig? Helpen camera's criminaliteit terug te dringen? Heeft "wie niets te verbergen heeft, niets te vrezen"? Drie maal volmondig neen. Maar op de gemeenteraad van aanstaande maandag 30 januari zullen deze vragen hoogst waarschijnlijk niet gesteld worden. Alhoewel Groen reeds heeft aangegeven tégen te stemmen, hoor ik hen voorlopig niets zeggen over de zware inbreuk op de privacy die de huidige en bijkomende camera's zijn.

Het einde van privacy

Herinnert u zich privacy nog? Dat was een idee dat ooit bestond, ergens in de 20e eeuw. Gelukkig hebben Facebook en Google ons ondertussen in de 21e eeuw gedragen en dit ouwbollige concept begraven.

Why I stopped using Google and switched to DuckDuckGo

Submitted by Dimitri Dhuyvetter on Wed, 22/06/2011 - 22:08

Google, Bing and other search engine make a search "bubble", and only give you results in line with sites you already visited. This reduces the chance of finding intersting sites and narows your view of the world wide web to a bubble: Escape your search engine Filter Bubble! http://dontbubble.us/

Google used to have a motto "don't be evil", that was a long time ago. Unless privacy is evil in Google's world. Don't wanna be tracked? http://donttrack.us/

Rooting the Motorola Milestone and flashing custom ROM

Submitted by Dimitri Dhuyvetter on Thu, 19/05/2011 - 16:24

There are a lot of guides, how-tos, blog and forum posts about rooting and flashing Android phones. I decided to add this post to that pile, because it still took me some time to find the really relevant info, especially since I had already updated to Android 2.2 and I am using a Linux machine. Hope this helps some people and doesn't just make it more confusing or harder to find the relevant info.

Where is my Android 2.2 update?

Submitted by Dimitri Dhuyvetter on Wed, 16/02/2011 - 11:38

My Motorola Milestone is still stuck with Android 2.1, even though the US version, the Droid got the 2.2 update months ago and that update was promised for Milestone in Europe an equally long time ago.

The main improvements in 2.2 are installing apps to SD in stead of internal memory, something I desperately need, since I am getting the "Low on space" warning and there aren't any apps I can or want to remove.

Twitter Is Having A Bad Day: Bizarre “Blank Page” Is The New “Fail Whale”

Submitted by Dimitri Dhuyvetter on Wed, 16/02/2011 - 02:08

In a previous post I was complaining that Tumblr was down a lot and didn't even provide a Fail Whale. Well at least it provided some message explaining that the site was down. Now Twitter seems to have gone down so terribly that they didn't even manage to show their all too famous Fail Whale. Good thing I'm not unseeing it any more, no thank you: Identi.ca for me! ;)

We've all heard about the RIAA's mass lawsuits against people who share music online, the MPAA's crusade against movie-sharers, and the way "patent trolls" sue other companies for infringement of patents in their portfolios.

Tumblr fail

Submitted by Dimitri Dhuyvetter on Sun, 02/01/2011 - 23:07

Tumblr seems to be down 50% of the time lately. And a few weeks ago it was out for almost a day. 

And it doesn't even have a failwhale to make up for that. ;)
