Privacy isn't about hiding bad things.

It’s about protecting what defines us as human beings, who we are: our day-to-day behavior, our personality, our fears, our relationships, and our vulnerabilities.

So this is happening, apparently ;)

The lovely Nexe folks fixed the compilation bug under Raspberry Pi recently and I woke up this morning to a successful build of Site.js (https://sitejs.org) on the Pi. Will test today on both the 3 and 4 with an eye towards issuing an official release :)

Very exciting… Site.js is about to become the easiest way to deploy sites on Raspberry Pi and might even make Node.js a first-class citizen in that world… ;)
