Freifunk (German for: "free radio") is a non-commercial open grassroots initiative to support free computer networks in the German region. The main goals of Freifunk are to build a large scale free wireless Wi-Fi network that is decentralized, owned by those who run it and to support local communication.
The initiative counts about 400 local communities with over 41,000 access points. Freifunk uses mesh technology to bring up ad hoc networks by interconnecting multiple Wireless LANs
The high transaction fees could be solved but there is currently a deadlock within the Bitcoin community. Two feasible solutions are on the table, but there is no consensus:
a) Increasing the block size, allows for more transactions to be processed within each 10 minute block. The downside is that the blockchain will grow at a multiple of the current rate. Generally favored by large miners. Decentralizes the network. Is only a short-term solution because it only scales linearly.
b) SegWit & Lightning. As far as I understand it, Lightning is 2nd layer on top of the blockchain that allows for much faster and cheaper transactions.
Other coins have already begun to adopt SegWit, most notably Litecoin, the early fork of Bitcoin.
So the cracker isn't getting rich, but they can generate a modest supplementing income. I assume many Raspberry Pi on the Internet are installed and forgotten about. Nobody notices 100% CPU load if the cracker uses nice -n19.
SoylentNews is forked off Slash and supports UTF-8. The downside is that SoylentNews doesn't include 5000 external JavaScript resources as a modern site should.
The Tether cryptocoin ("USDT") is backed by US dollars. There is 1 USD deposited for each USDT. You could do just the same with physical gold.
This has worked wonderfully in the past, until Wells-Fargo decided to block all transactions to and from Tether, allegedly for money-laundering reasons. https://themerkle.com/wells-fa...
Now 1 USDT is traded for around 0.90 USD as holders are starting to get anxious because the situation hasn't been resolved for weeks. This, in my opinion, has also indirectly increased demand for Bitcoin, driving its price up.

we engineered yeast to produce the selected opioid compounds thebaine and hydrocodone starting from sugar. All work was conducted in a laboratory that is permitted and secured for work with controlled substances. We combined enzyme discovery, enzyme engineering, and pathway and strain optimization to realize full opiate biosynthesis in yeast. The resulting opioid biosynthesis strains required expression of 21 (thebaine) and 23 (hydrocodone) enzyme activities from plants, mammals, bacteria, and yeast itself. This is a proof-of-principle, and major hurdles remain before optimization and scale up could be achieved. Open discussions of options for governing this technology are also needed in order to responsibly realize alternative supplies for these medically relevant compounds.
If implemented successfully on a large scale, what are the consequences for traditional opium farmers from already poor regions?
Why is no manufacturer capable or willing to release a smart phone with 100% free software from the start? If they really have to keep the baseband firmware proprietary, isolate it with an IOMMU. What are they afraid of?
They're actually copyright infringers, not pirates.
Publishers often refer to copying they don't approve of as “piracy.” In this way, they imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them.
It is absurd how much computing power is wasted on dynamically generating what is effectively static content, like blogs. A simple blog should not require an SQL database and complex software stacks that are executed whenever someone visits the site.
Instead, consider using a static website generator like Pelican, or one of the many alternatives.
Write articles and blog posts in a simple, human-readable markup language such as Markdown or ReStructuredText. Manage your documents in git. Run the generator to recreate the HTML and update Atom/RSS feeds. The resulting website is blazing fast and can be hosted on dirt cheap servers.

This is a prime example for the necessity of libre drivers.
The good news is, libre drivers for Nvidia GPUs exist, and they continue to work on 32-bit Linux.
AMD Radeon GPUs have much better open source compatibility, though.

Several crypto coins have been designed specifically to thwart GPU and FPGA mining.
The Raspberry Pi 3 seems to get 10 Hash/s of Monero mining.
10 H/s of XMR yields about $1.10 per day.

I'd rather like to see a faithful adoption of the original story on which The Matrix is loosely based upon,
Simulacron-3 (1964) by Daniel F. Galouye.
The Vatican uses GNU/Linux both for their library servers,
as well as some info terminals.

Previous Bq models have LineageOS support. This one will most likely follow.

5.25" single-sided floppies could be converted into double-sided disks,
by punching or cutting a marker hole in the right place.
Drilling a hole in 3.5" DD floppies would double their density to HD.
I assume this trick worked due to laws of mass production.
