Advogato's Trust Metric

[KDan]

Advogato's trust metric [advogato.org] looks really interesting. Has it been tested to resist attacks in practice?

dinner / non-profit free colocation

[Anonymous Coward]

on the conference registration page ( LINK [unspunrecords.com]) it looks like the conference is running a fundraising dinner for a nonprofit group that offers colocation and hosting for non-profits LINK [communitycolo.org] called the California Community Colocation Project. From their site: We provide free colocated Internet access to individuals and non-profits. ... and it looks like they operate solely on donations to keep them going!

Wow. Talk about a good cause.
