The Pirate Bay might move servers to the sky to avoid the authorities

Trouble hosting proprietary information? Try to relocate up in a no man's land.


The Pirate Bay has announced that it may soon take to the skies in its ongoing efforts to avoid the authorities.

Arduino Tool That Connects Each Board to Its Own Source

If you create something with Arduino and put it out into the world, there is no well-established link to the source. If you personally made the device, the source can get lost over time. If you didn’t create it, you could have a tough time tracking the source down. You have the physical device, why can’t it tell you where it’s code lives?
