Interesting, I did not know that you could transfer repos this way on github, thanks.

Why no regex and (bounded) loops? You don't need turing completeness for either of these. And what does Turing completeness has to do with security anyway?

Does it not also apply to Snowden then?

How was Snowden "plain stupid" exactly? "stupidly ineffective" - well, one has to start from somewhere. Plus stallman's work was far from ineffective. As for assange's work, the publication of the war crimes mi

Instructions to hack (which is what Assange did) should be protected by the first amendment. Nevertheless, hacking-related laws are a disgrace to our freedom.

Sadly yes, this doesn't excuse him from the framework of our laws, just like it did not excuse Turing, leading to his death. Maybe it's time to adopt a more aggressive stance against immoral laws, don't you think?

This was a dickish thing to do on his part (although far form rape). I think that the seven years he spent at the embassy are enough of a punishment. The only thing that I believe would be fair to have is monetary compensation to the victim

This is certainly a valid argument, though two of the other solutions (plus dns over tls) avoid this issue as well.

> DoH has already more adoption than all previous approaches combined Are you sure? My experience so far has shown that only dnscrypt is widely supported. Nevertheless, surely they must had some kind of issue with the existing solutions
