I'd much rather they limited their donations to organizations with still-breathing warrant canaries (e.g. not RiseUp). Maybe I'm cynical, but I think that non-profit organizations with dead national security warrant canaries can

Adding ads is a significant enough negative change alone to get adequate media attention outside of sites like Hacker News.

What's deceitful about it? It seems like the person making this offer didn't really think this through, considering that VLC is open source. The name is meaningless if they implement ads.

I would rather they took the money and forked VLC. It would be big enough news that most users would switch and the development would only benefit from the extra cash. If the initial media attention isn't enough, they could spend some

Just Google "Linode hacked" and scroll to your heart's content. The worst incident in my opinion was in 2013. Credit card numbers and password hashes were compromised, and Linode actively denied it until the hackers literally

Yes. The last time Linode got hacked while I was still a customer, I learned about it on HN from a third party before Linode even publicly acknowledged the incident. I decided enough was enough, and switched to a less cost-effective provide

Linode credit card info has been hacked so many times that I'm not surprised that HSBC is doing this. For any other service, I'd be upset if my bank did this, but Linode is quite literally the least secure paid service I've e

I'm working on a platform (Peerweb) similar to the product being discussed, and I think I've put more thought into the security and autonomous self-policing aspects of P2P CDNs. I don't waste my time with MD5, and I deeply co

Looks like the Xeon Gold 6154 will make for a reasonable per-core performance workstation chip. Unfortunately it looks like it probably won't be overclockable though.

Is anyone else slightly peeved by the popularity of this misnomer? If you are paying for servers , your app isn't serverless . Real serverless to me means decentralized p2p and offline apps. I also consider p2p-routed apps with centr
