Migrating a Mediawiki to a new Linux server
To get you started: Get a Linux VPS. I chose Tavu.io, an ecohosting company with the data center deep inside the Finnish granite bedrock, a “renewable electricity only”-policy and a cloud infrastructure built on top of OpenStack. For OS I chose latest Debian Stable which was version 9 at the time of writing. Tavu.io created… Continue reading Migrating a Mediawiki to a new Linux server
Kansalaisaloiteluonnos: Salamallintamisen kieltäminen
Kansalaisaloiteluonnos salamallintamisen kieltämiseksi Salamikä?!??! 00-luvun alkupuolelta lähtien on tullut (lähestulkoon) mahdottomaksi erottaa liikkuvissa ja liikkumattomissa kuvissa mikä on ihmisen kuva, joka on kuvattu (elokuva)kameralla ja mikä taas on simulaatio ihmisen kuvasta, joka on kuvattu simulaatiolla kamerasta. 2010-luvulla samantapainen on käymässä meidän alastomille äänillemme, eli ne kyetään varastamaan esim. 2016 esitellyillä Adoben Voco-ohjelmalla:lla tai DeepMind:in kehittämällä… Continue reading Kansalaisaloiteluonnos: Salamallintamisen kieltäminen

Translation: Tao Te King – Chapter 2. Becoming perfect
Chapter 2. Becoming perfect When the world speaks of the beauty of beauty then ugliness is defined in the same. When good is seen as good then evil is also immediately clear.

Translation: Tao Te King – Chapter 80. Standing alone
Chapter 80. Standing alone If I had a small kingdom and only ten or hundred able men, I would not use them for government.

Translation: Tao Te King – Chapter 79. Keeping promise
Chapter 79. Keeping promise When agreement has been reached after a long dispute, one side always grumbles. And how could this be said a good resolution to an argument?

Translation: Tao Te King – Chapter 14. Praising emptiness
Chapter 14. Praising emptiness Smoothness is what cannot be seen when looking at it. Silence is what cannot be heard when listening to it. Rarity is what cannot be touched when trying to do so. As these are inseparable from each other, they can be considered one – Tao¹. It is not lit in height… Continue reading Translation: Tao Te King – Chapter 14. Praising emptiness
Translation: Tao Te King – Chapter 8. The inexpensive nature
Chapter 8. The inexpensive nature Greatest virtue is like water. Water is good for everything. It can pass through to even the most unreachable places effortlessly. That is why it is like the Tao.
