This is great to see! It's important to note that this isn't just yet another "X compiled to Y using Z", but a VM written from scratch natively in Javascript. The result is a much smaller size, it's more understanda

Also Intel here (on Linux). I guess you may be right.

To be fair, they're one of a small set (possibly of size 1) of organisations that would be able to carry out most of the attacks discussed. Things that were considered highly unlikely pre-2013 are now a real possibility, if not probabi

Off-topic, but something I learned... I thought surely you meant the "Duracell Bunny", however the Energizer Bunny does indeed exist, and apparently although it's the later of the two, Energizer successfully registered the ba

Another vote for Synology NAS. I have the same device in the same configuration. I love it lots, and have ended up using it for far more than just backups. My previous setup was two large USB drives, and doing everything manually (when I re

100% agreed, and I'm in a similar position. I often mention to people that XMPP is one of the few places where I think XML is actually the right tool for the job, and is actually being used properly. This is rather in contrast to those

As a server developer I'm in a good position to implement this, and every so often (a couple of times a year), someone will ask for it. There are two approaches that could be taken. The first is to attempt to map XML losslessly to JSON

> That said, a minimal protocol addition like this, which just provides an element to wrap serialized JSON for payloads, definitely help with minimizing that DOM pain. I will propose standardizing this as a (very short) XEP (XMPP Extens

The first image in the article is an animated PNG. It doesn't work in Chromium on my (Linux) laptop. It works in Firefox.

Actually the Diskstation runs Linux already, and I have full SSH access to it. It uses ecryptfs already, and I love the thing. I am glad I chose it over building my own (and that's not something I expected to be saying before I bought

But... how does it work? Without such information this article reads little better than an advertisement.

I have a Synology device (exact same model as the article author actually, and likewise I love it). However I'm having trouble finding a way to back it up securely. The built-in backup methods don't seem to account for encrypting

My guess is that it won't be patched. The general consensus is that untrusted bytecode is inherently unsafe[1]. Use the source everwhere, which is safe and also portable. If you're using bytecode for performance or security reason

Yes, Prosody does allow it, but you're right that the documentation is vague - it's because it's a bit awkward at the moment. We're planning to release 0.9.1 on Monday to address this issue (or you can grab one of our ni

Snowden claimed a while back that encryption itself was not broken by the NSA, but that the endpoint security usually was (no surprise there): http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/17/edward-snowden-.

Depending on its use, the first thing I generally do on a new server is disable the OOM killer. At runtime: sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=2 To make it persist, just add vm.overcommit_memory=2 to /etc/sysctl.conf

I think you meant "could not end up as that same letter"?

I think not many people realise that Lua has been around for so long, born around the same time as Python. I think it's a remarkable achievement for any software project to live so long, and still remain relevant, and with a good quali

Then why are they the same in this case? Coincidence? (I won't believe that... but unfortunately I don't have more samples right now to demonstrate the correlation).

I've been having issues with steal time recently, but what I'm seeing isn't adequately explained by any of the articles and documentation I could find. Here is an example from one EC2 node: 19:26:19 CPU %usr %nic
