This advice makes sense given the threat model. However, it might not make sense for someone in Edward Snowden's role. If I were a military agency with a big budget, I would backdoor the shit out of every phone, enforce cultures of sec

I've heard people recommend SQL for Smarties . The Postgres docs are pretty awesome, but you sort of need to know what you're looking for before jumping in. You can also find schemas on Github and study living examples.

Time to start patching your browser or proxying requests to munge http headers and strip out all identifiable data, and to throw random garbage in there. Obviously you can detect this pattern as well, but it makes it harder. Browser vendors

I'm really grateful that we have folks like Binney thinking about the bigger picture. It's not as though our government has not made mistakes in the past; during the Korean War for instance, we killed ~20% of the North Korean popu

I'm pretty sure that any US person or organization that doesn't comply with matters supposedly pertaining to national security will go the way of Joe Nacchio and Qwest.

FreeBSD has been a learning curve for me in terms of learning kernel development and things like kqueue and ZFS. I didn't find it difficult in terms of getting started, since it is a lot like Arch in terms of setting up things like X w

I wouldn't say that it's bad. I just find it to be quite complex, e.g., why does it need its own web server? I was also troubled by the number of Debian maintainers who left the Debian project over the intense controversy, as well

I would perhaps spend some time running it in a VM, and then if you decide you like it and think it's worth the time investment, maybe try installing it on your laptop. I run it on a Thinkpad X1. The handbook is a great resource: http

I stopped using Ubuntu after Amazon affiliate marketing showed up on the desktop. I stopped using Arch after I read the source code for SystemD. FreeBSD had quite a learning curve, but now it's on my laptops and is my preferred server

C++ FFI will likely be difficult given that unlike C, C++ lacks a stable ABI since the standard doesn't define an ABI, and leaves it up to compilers to implement.

I quite like the ability to watch videos on YouTube at 1.5x or 2x speed. Note, one can do the same with ffmpeg: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#setpts_002c-asetpts http://stackoverflow.com/questions&#

Does anyone know how to tell if a wifi device uses beam-forming versus omnidirectional microwave emissions? I imagine that beam-forming devices expose people to less microwave radiation (2.4 and 5 GHz). Somewhat alarmist but an interesting
