XMPP Providers: XMPP Providers Fully Automated

Automate all the Things

During the past year, the team behind the XMPP Providers project worked on automating the process of gathering data about XMPP providers.

Automation also enables the project to be up to date – every day!

Some trust decisions have to be made manually but there are many others Kaidan automates without decreasing your security. That is done by automatically sharing ... ⌘ Read more

Peter Saint-Andre: The Underlying Theme In a comment on my recent post about Aristotle on ways of life, my friend Kurt wondered if, according to Aristotle, the best life must have a single purpose (in Greek, a telos).

Yet I think this can be interpreted in several different ways.... ⌘ Read more

Peter Saint-Andre: MLK and Personalism In my recent post on idealism and identity, I mentioned my attraction to the philosophy of personalism, with its emphasis on human dignity. It is perhaps a little-known fact that Martin Luther King, Jr., was greatly influenced by that very philosophy. Early in life he ventured north to study at Boston University, then the center of personalist thought in America, where he completed his doctorate under theologian Edgar Sheffield Brightman. We can see the deep influence of personalism on King's ... ⌘ Read more

Peter Saint-Andre: Idealism and Identity Personal identity is a deep, and deeply meaningful, subject: at some level, what's more important than what makes you you? Paradoxically, throughout history and across cultures, often personal identity has been a social construct, tied closely to tribe, clan, family, ethnic group, race, caste, class, societal role, and so on - usually in opposition to some Other ("I'm a Capulet, not a Montague", "I'm a proletarian, not a bourgeois", etc.).... ⌘ Read more
