The ColorHug is an open source display colorimeter. It allows you to calibrate your screen so it can display accurate colors. By buying OpenHardware like the ColorHug you can be sure you are supporting an ecosystem of people who want to create open source products that are even better than their proprietary counterparts. ColorHug2 was built as an upgrade to the original ColorHug device that was only capable of profiling some types of display.

The XYZ color values measured using the ColorHug are processed into a ICC file which can be used in Windows, OS X and Linux. The supplied LiveUSB disk contains all the required software, or you can use your existing Linux installation.

This illustrated user guide is useful to understand key differences and features in Mastodon, including detailed howto information.

Mastodon is a social network application based on the ActivityPub protocol. It behaves a lot like other social networks, especially #Twitter, with one key difference - it is open-source and anyone can start their own server (also called an "instance"), and users of any instance can interact freely with those of other instances (called "federation"). Thus, it is possible for small communities to set up their own servers to use amongst themselves while also allowing interaction with other communities.

We call it clientless because no plugins or client software are required.

Thanks to HTML5, once Guacamole is installed on a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web browser.

Diaspora is a nonprofit, user-owned, distributed social network that is based upon the free Diaspora software. Diaspora consists of a group of independently owned nodes (called pods) which interoperate to form the network.

The social network is not owned by any one person or entity, keeping it from being subject to corporate take-overs or advertising. In September 2011 the developers stated, "...our distributed design means no big corporation will ever control Diaspora. Diaspora* will never sell your social life to advertisers, and you won’t have to conform to someone’s arbitrary rules or look over your shoulder before you speak."

This comic says that a password such as "Tr0ub4dor&3" is bad because it is easy for password cracking software and hard for humans to remember, leading to insecure practices like writing the password down on a post-it attached to the monitor. On the other hand, a password such as "correcthorsebatterystaple" is hard for computers to guess due to having more entropy but quite easy for humans to remember.
