The way an idea is connected — is the idea. Noodle associates the files of a working directory into nested mind-maps and features powerful functions for manipulating the structure of your knowledge base. Download the latest version! The project site, https://noodle.franciscogg.site, has all noodly things: 📚 Docs 🧭 Guides 💬 Discussion ??? What is the best/fundamental/truest representation of information? Turing says everything is a unidimmensional array of binary states....
Digital technology threatens important values and concepts like free will, bodily autonomy, private property, identity, and rule of law. Digital personhood is the necessary response. It is simultaneously a philosophy of what a person is, a politics of data, and a technology stack for networked personal computing devices. This is my formulation of — and elaboration on the cypherpunk vision. Cypherpunk: (Not cyBerpunk) CyPHerpunk is a movement that started in the 80s which purports that encryption is needed by everyday people to preserve their privacy....
Noodle is my take on something like a super-ultra-mega-meta-mind-map. Basically, it’s a variation on applications like Obsidian and LoqSeq. These are note-taking apps that allow the user to form links between their ideas. The principle difference in noodle is that the focus is shifted off of the markdown notes and onto the associations in the knowledge base. Noodle associates the files of a working directory in a multiplex graph and features powerful functions for manipulating the structure of the knowledge base....
Access control over personal data is the contemporary warfront for freedom. Encrypted messaging is a simple improvement anyone can make. Here are my top choices for private messaging. I’ll go into why I chose these particular apps and protocols a little further down. Signal Signal was chosen as the best overall practical option. This is a great option for talking to friends and family, people who would already have your phone number....
Pinephone is where I think personal tech should be headed. But we’re not talking about that here. This is going to be me nerding out and showing off this tinkerer’s dream of a phone. Pinephone by PINE64 The hardware is really not that impressive from a performance point of view. The mali GPU is quite dated and the camera’s really only function as little more than proofs of concept. You get bluetooth, wifi (2....
At it’s heart crypto is about consensus. The innovation of bitcoin is its solution to the Byzantine generals problem. If multiple armies must decide to attack a city simultaneously from different sides in order to win, how can they coordinate an attack/retreat decision given that messengers may be intercepted and generals may try to undermine the voting process by sending conflicting information? Solving this is analogous to creating a fault tolerant computer network....
