Well I know of a few people who are really interested in seeing what these hacker people are like. Are they raving maniacs? Timid hermits? Video is a good format to get people who do not normally browse source code or read specs interested.

I don't dislike it. I think that what's intended is that instead of just orating (loudly) about the sorry state of affairs, as any of us can do, these people actually walk the walk and go out of their way to make things better. Qu

I like Tinc VPN ( http://www.tinc-vpn.org/ ). It's multiplatform and open source, just as OpenVPN is, but I prefer it for its simplicity and its mesh feature. It doesn't try to do too much (which means you'll h

I don't think that that option accomplishes the same, or is even similar. What about sites that you never visit (= type in address bar / follow links to) directly, but which are on some subdomain of the visited site nonetheless? C

If I remember correctly it's a driver limitation, and theoretically it could be modified so it would do what you want, but consider the amount of userspace/kernelspace crossings to be made just to send some ciphertext over the ne

The Kirkwood AES accelerator (mv_cesa) is not exposed to userspace in Linux. It won't accelerate your SSL. You can use it to accelerate dm-crypt, though. I owned a Sheevaplug and own a Dreamplug. They're not nearly as fast as even

It prints a substring from "Fizz" using slicing. The thing is, the x%3*4 determines the start of that slice. It's either 0, which is when X modulo 3 == 0 (which is every third number in range(101) ), or something larger than 4, in which cas

Ecryptfs is a fantastic solution. If you're using the passphrase-wrapped-by-login-password method (convenient, I think Ubuntu implements this method) then security is not that great - because it's ultimately limited by the strength of your
