So I'm not sure if it's because of problems from the host of the CryptPad instance or because of CryptPad itself, but I've been using CryptPad for a collaborative spreadsheet for a weeks now, and it's been absolutely awf

I have a similar setup as OP, and I use ZFS snapshots to be able to quickly rebuild the whole machine on another host. Of course, it still requires manual intervention in an outage (it could be automated, theoretically), and I may lose up t

Yes, ZFS snapshots are atomic, so as long as the database use sane semantics to do disk I/O, you're fine (AFAIK, PostgreSQL and MySQL/InnoDB are ok, MySQL/MyISAM is not though). A snapshot is effectively identical to a k

For outbound connections, it can be done using multiple IP addresses.

It is inefficient, but it makes cheating much harder (but unfortunately still possible, it will never be possible to prevent it completely).

This chart does not support the referred claim at all. Payouts are not only linked to the browser's hardening, but also to the amount of affected users. Given Firefox's engine low market share, it's not very surprising that p

I think the person you replied to meant that gateway firewalls enable sloppy endpoint security (which I agree with).

So wrong that the GoPro that the retiree was wearing was not even turned on, which is a shame, even if I doubt that the footage would have been released.

Yes, that's very true, thanks for making that point. I'd like to add that it's never too late to try to preserve these cultures, traditions and languages. Getting interested to the ones of your place of residence, even if you

It could also be thermals.On old hardware the thermal paste is often completely fried. I've seen C2Ds barely able to handle anything once they got hot.

Yes, opening a DC circuit under load can be very surprising. The arcs can just stay on forever, and pose a big fire hazard.

Oh right, the output is parametrized by the input. I suppose this is what dependent types are. That's really awesome. Thanks for the explanation.

I've had to do something like that for an awful application where the frontend did chunked downloads, but didn't check properly for the status code, embedding error pages directly in the downloaded file. As I had no control over t

I thank you for your kind words.

Right. Thank your for the correction.

This is amazing, but I don't understand the justification : > Since their types specify the same length, the type-checker knows we can ignore the 'zip Nil Cons' or 'zip Cons Nil' cases. Specifically, I have troub

I don't think pattern matching and union-types makes narrow typing useless. Rust has both pattern matching and union types but still implements some specific forms of control-flow based typing. For example, consider this Rust snippet :

Is anyone looking to get their hands on such machines ? I don't know if they are hard to find, but I do regularly find some of them getting thrashed out around me. My local hackerspace has two of them, used as terminals, and I know the

Oh yes, you can of course skip the USB FTDI and use the Pi's GPIO, I forgot to mention that.

Of course, but ARP spoofing doesn't have the same requirements (being on the same L2 domain), and it can be easily defended against at the switch level. But indeed, this attack requires us to know when (and where) to start sending prob

I'm not sure I understand how can cryptographic authentication completely solve that problem, as it is only validated on the endpoints themselves, not on the router. As long as you have a signal that probing has started, you can just s

I have one of these working as a terminal near me, feel free to ask any questions ! You basically just need an USB FTDI and a 3.3/5V TTL converter.
