Today EFF and the Tor Project are launching a public beta of a new Firefox extension called HTTPS Everywhere. The extension tells the browser to always use the encrypted https protocol if it is available.

This is a small but important step towards protecting your privacy. It will be effective against the EU’s Data Retention Directive (Datalagringsdirektivet) that is drawing closer every day, and that will force all Internet service providers to save all the Internet traffic from your computer.  (The extension will naturally not protect agains Google’s or Facebook’s snooping).

Install the HTTPS Everywhere extension now!

For some strange and irritating reason, the developers of WordPress MU have decided that users of said product are not allowed to access their own web server using a web address beginning with www.

Fortunaltely, the system is open source so this amazingly stupid setting can be deactivated (comment out a few lines in wpmu-settings.php). It’s just that you have to remeber this change when you update the software.

(And I don’t think it’s a bad idea to use URLs without www, it’s just that it’s not up to the developers of WPMU…)

Last week, Apple announced the long awaited iPad. I guess I was a bit disappointed that it turned out to be a big iPod instead of a small computer.

I had naïvely been hoping for the iPad to be an open platform, but just like on the iPod/iPhone all applications have to go through the app store and be approved by Apple.

I dagarna lanserades sajten killfrågor.se av föreningen Män för jämställdhet. Det är ett forum där unga killar ska kunna prata om jämställdhet, heteronorm, våld och liknande med någon som är lite äldre. Jag hoppas att det blir en bra sajt som gör nytta.

Jag är själv involverad såtillvida att jag har programmerat ett verktyg som kommer att användas för att handleda volontärerna och utvärdera metoden.

Here’s a cool clip about William Gibson and Cyberpunk. It’s really old, but that makes it even better.

Om du är det minsta nyfiken på hur fri mjukvara och öppen källkod fungerar så tycker jag att du ska lyssna på denna podcast. Den ger en mycket pedagogisk introduktion till FOSS (Free and open source software) och dess fördelar.
