And making open source alternatives — #DevStoriesThis is a transcript of a talk I gave at the Hacker Noon #devstories @Github event, with minor modifications to improve readability. I wanted to call out the irony that security calls for openness, but security is also the reason for obscurity and proprietary implementations, especially in the hardware world. Making security more open is what motivated us to found SoloKeys, and make open source hardware security keys.▻https://medium.com/media/6a0e0d8f7709f7937cc7221c95a19eaa/hrefWhat I think is really fascinating about security is the duality that I tried to capture in the title between openness and obscurity.Borrowing a definition from cryptography:A (crypto)system should be secure even if everything about the system, except the key, is (...)

Hardware hacks are particularly scary because they trump any software security safeguards—for example, they can render all accounts on a server password-less.

Fortunately, we can benefit from what the software industry has learned from decades of fighting prolific software hackers: Using open source techniques can, perhaps counterintuitively, make a system more secure. Open source hardware and distributed manufacturing can provide protection from future attacks.

Alibaba to Use Own Immersion Cooling Tech in Cloud Data Centers | Data Center Knowledge

Alibaba said it plans to contribute the technology to the Open Compute Project, an open source hardware and data center design effort started about six years ago by Facebook. The Chinese company officially joined OCP this week.

Its data center cooling technology has reached production stage, the company said, and will soon be ready for deployment in Alibaba’s cloud data centers.

The concept of submerging servers in dielectric fluid to improve data center cooling efficiency isn’t new. There are several companies selling solutions that use it on the market, the more prominent examples being Green Revolution Cooling and Iceotope.

Farmbots Makes Growing Food Easier #Arduino « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers !
▻https://blog.adafruit.com/2015/12/29/farmbots-makes-growing-food-easier-arduino

Farmbot is the first open source cnc farming machine with the aim to create an open and accessible technology aiding everyone to grow food and to grow food for everyone. It runs on open source hardware like Arduino Mega 2560 and involves a community of contributors on the wiki and forum where you can find documentation, schematics, assembly guides, troubleshooting tips and many more on all currently supported and old FarmBots.

Première fois que je vois ça. C’est bizarre j’ai l’impression que cet exemple par de l’agriculture industrielle, pour passer par l’autoproduction mais en gardant cette séparation par rapport à la production (en gros on met pas les mains dans la terre, on pilote depuis une sorte de jeu sur écran). Du coup je comprends pas la niche.

The RGBDToolkit invites you to imagine the future of filmmaking.
Repurposing the depth sensing camera from the Microsoft #Kinect or Asus Xtion Pro as an accessory to your HD DSLR camera, the open source hardware and software captures and visualizes the world as mesmerizing wireframe forms. A CGI and video hybrid, the data can be rephotographed from any angle in post.

Apple fait fermer OpenNI et ses outils pour bidouiller le Kinect
▻http://www.igen.fr/accessoires/apple-fait-fermer-openni-et-ses-outils-pour-bidouiller-le-kinect-110352

À partir du 23 avril prochain, il sera un peu plus difficile d’exploiter le Kinect à des fins artistiques, scientifiques ou simplement détournées. C’est en effet à cette date qu’OpenNI, le framework ouvert de référence pour exploiter le capteur du Kinect, sera retiré du téléchargement. (...)

L’acquisition de PrimeSense par Apple remet en cause la distribution de ces logiciels, puisqu’à partir du 23 avril prochain, OpenNI sera purement et simplement fermé.

Chris Anderson: How I Accidentally Kickstarted the Domestic #Drone Boom | Wired

For me, it’s become not just a hobby but a second career: I cofounded a company, 3D Robotics, to make the open source hardware that the DIY Drones community was designing, and we’ve already shipped more than 10,000 autopilots and countless other drone parts. By our estimates, 3D Robotics’ customers alone are flying more drones than the total number operated by the US military (7,494 today, according to a recent congressional report). And there are dozens of other companies making drone technology for the “hobby” market, including Hoverfly, DJI Innovations, MikroKopter, Droidworx, and uThere.
