I've been using two-factor auth for Gmail for probably about a year now, it's quite painless and definitely worth it.

I'm sure I'm not alone - this site really inspired me to first get into web design and development. Great to see it alive and contributions as imaginative as ever.

The same way you back up all your other important and private files? That is, frequently and securely. Also note that you can have multiple keys, potentially one per device (useful in case a device could get stolen).

Grigg's other writings are also worth a read: http://iang.org/ssl/hn_hypotheses_in_secure_protocol_design.... But for me, this is the one that stands above the others. It's such a common problem that people o

The worst things about carousels that I find are when 1) it's not obviously a carousel and 2) when it auto-advances on a fixed timeout, and it's impossible to stay on one 'page' and actually read it. Extremely frustratin

I like it. I had a similar idea a while back, but for using output from the already widely-available 'script' command. I wonder if there was a technical reason to create a new 'recorder', or if it was just a question of

Doesn't look like it's going to be open-source, so the "safe" part will be hard to independently verify. Meanwhile it's also XMPP-based, and so it looks like it will be yet another centralized service, with servers

I use Poezio, it's great: http://poez.io/en/ The main downside are that it is not yet packaged in Debian/Ubuntu.

With all due respect to the author (whom I had the pleasure of meeting many years ago at an XMPP summit), in my opinion most of the points in this post are unfounded, and overly pessimistic. There is still a public XMPP network, just as the

XMPP is old, and mature. I'm afraid this "over-engineered" feeling comes to just about every successful technology that reaches such an age :) Technology is full of people reinventing the wheel (sometimes better, obviously),

A very valid question. It was probably the outcome of a team meeting (don't we love them?), and one or more people were present with reasons not to take this route. What those reasons were, or whether they were well-founded, we'll never kno

Ah, clustering. Understood, and entirely justified. Prosody clustering is on the roadmap, but it's a tricky problem to solve properly (and I don't think anyone has to date). We've even had people switch from ejabberd clusters to Prosody, as

The XMPP network needs more independent servers run by trusted entities, so I welcome this very much (I've been trusting DuckDuckGo with my searches for some time now).

While Google's recent moves are indeed a backward step, the only way we can fight them is by having open alternatives like this available to people, and by making them as attractive as possible. There are many practical reasons that people

Now I want to know why you switched away from Prosody. It's not something we see happen often :) Anything we can fix?

Depends what your goal is. Your approach is to optimize for developer productivity. Mike's is to optimize for machine productivity. The question is whether it is possible to do both at once, hence Mike's point about the ideal language needi

Mmm. I'm sure people have had bad experiences. However I run my own mail server (and no others who also do) for myself, my company and a few other domains I host with almost no effort. It's true I have fewer than a dozen users, but I'm sure

Ditto. I have had an account with them for some years, and have always been incredibly pleased with their customer service. As another commenter wrote, their online banking is "primitive", but it's usable.

The main reason to use grep is portability/availability. While a modern improvement to grep (yes, I'm an ack user and fan too) you can't simply depend on it in portable scripts and such. grep is defined for POSIX after all: http://pubs.o
