SELinux was released in 1998. Linux was totally usable back then. I've been using it since 1995. I've never heard anyone claim lacking SMP support being a feature. In the case of OpenBSD it was just that nobody got around to it un

Not sure network effects are necessary there. It's fine if one person makes videos with glasses as long as friends enjoy watching them. If the glasses are promoted as something you only wear when you want to record video and that you o

Kylin was the Chinese FreeBSD fork (if you can even call it that) started in 2001. This predates the privsep OpenSSH, W^X, chroot Apache, and all that. pf wasn't even released until the end of 2001. There was no support for SMP until 2

I'd be interested to hear the author's opinion on pledge. Also, this article repeatedly points out that OpenBSD did not invent memory hardening techniques, but fails to acknowledge that they were by far the first to ship many of t

I recall the proper name for X being "X Window System" with "X Windows" being merely slang. I remember early 90s Unix books being quite pedantic on that point. Is that right or is my memory faulty on that one? Good point

Right, but at least "Windows" was somewhat unique in the area of computer operating systems. The word "gram" is much less unique in the areas of communication and delivery. After all, it's derived from telegram. Ins

Feel free to propose a secure, decentralized way to pass the payload between the endpoints. Be sure your solution includes an effective mechanism to mitigate spam. Bonus if your solution denies attackers access to the same metadata centrali

Forget the aop store. How do we know Google, Apple, Microsoft, Ubuntu, etc doesn't give us a malicious kernel update? I don't think we have good solutions for the problem of malicious updates in general. The only one I can think o

Obviously the app maintainer could push an update that simply leaks your keys and stored messages. Doesn't matter if it's open or closed source. However, open source does give users some real recourse in the event that the project

This post doesn't explain the protocol all that well. This is a great explainer: https://vimeo.com/117532499 I can't seem to find the PDF of the slides of this talk anymore. These are also very useful for understa

Yeah. My understanding is the message key used to decrypt first copy should be immediately deleted after decrypting it, so how can the second copy be decrypted successfully? Seems to fly in the face of forward secrecy unless it's purel

Okay, so the password generation is deterministic, based on a single secret I need to remember right? So then there has to be metadata to list the site domain, username, which generation of password, which characters are allowed or disallow

Look into verifiable shuffles, private information retrieval, and dining cryptographer networks. By combining such techniques, it's possible to be much much better than naive broadcast, and also possible to use a client/server arc

Do you have a will? Issues such as who will inherit copyright ownership of your work should be handled there. As for passwords, keys and so on, you can put all that into a single archive. (eg. regularly export your password manager, put any
