    Pi-Hole: per la privacy a casa

    Se vi dicessi che il 20% delle comunicazioni che il vostro smartphone attua per consentirvi di usare Whatupp o leggere il giornale è verso i server pubblicitari di google, facebook, amazon, come reagireste?

    Questo è un articolo divulgativo su uno strumento che è possibile installarsi a casa propria, per proteggere la propria rete Internet dalla pubblicità, e rafforzare la privacy della propria famiglia.

    Chi ha bambini piccoli a casa sa che oramai sono in grado di giocare su smartphone o guardare filmati su Youtube. Si pone quindi un problema che va dal controllo di ciò che guardano, alla loro privacy, passando anche per una riduzione della loro esposizione alla pubblicità.

    Per intenderci, Youtube non ha una grossa considerazione dello spettatore: le pubblicità non sono correlate con i contenuti, e anche abilitando i filtri per adulti il risultato è che non c’è un controllo su cosa vedono i nostri figli; tradotto in parole semplici, pubblicità inappropriate possono apparire durante la visione di un cartone animato LEGO.

    Sto parlando di tutte cose che ho toccato con mano, e fornirò conferme con riferimenti ad altri articoli. Non è mia intenzione allarmare nessuno, ma sensibilizzare tutti sulla esistenza di una onda crescente che sta cercando (in sordina) di imporci un modo di vivere che non dobbiamo per forza abbracciare.

    Comments are evil?

    In the 1980 comments were used to reduce the “gap” between unstructured code and “rationale” behind the code.

    UTF-8 and Unicode Standards

    Character encoding is a very bad beast when you write code, but UTF-8 will save us.

    Exploring a 23 years old code base: LambdaMoo MUD Part 1

    On these days my greek daemon (the one which talk to me about deep nerd programming) was interested on LambdaMoo.

    LambdaMoo is an Object Oriented Multi User Dungeon born back in 1995. A MUD was a text based system you log in, talk with other, create adventures and so on. LambdaMoo has a script language and the entrire system could be customized.

    The LambdaMoo last version 1.8.3 was a work in progress in 2008. LambdaMoo today is 23 years old.

    So my daemon asked me: if you were able to do a  tech refresh of LambdaMoo, waht will you eventually suggest?

    To respond to this question, I need to study the original code

    AngularJS alterantive: Micro JavaScript framework on the 2017

    AngularJS is indeed a good framework, but if you lose some grip on it (i.e. you go in vacation for 2 weeks), it is very complex to re-grasp.

    Also I have seen junior JavaScript developer confused my $scope use.

    JavaScript on client side has damned destiny: it is too easy to develop a framework from scratch: so roll you dice, cross your finger and find plenty of AngularJS alternatives

    OOP is the your new legacy
