I'm prepared to give you a lot of examples (which other people might value differently). From the unfortunate consequences of the 'branches are files (and therefore tags are easily mutable by default and surprisingly hard to pin d

And? You will have some kind of 'blessed' repo anyway. In git you disable non-fast-forward pushes there (aka prevent commits from ever being removed) there, and implemented your 'point'. See also 'svn obliterate&#x2

SVN is a glorified backup - which is basically what you're saying. The SVN UI is just horrid in other dimensions, mainly the "you can't do that at all" one.

I don't know the timeout for that, but after some time no tor node would work without the dirs being present, or being manually pointed to new ones. The question is whether someone would want to subvert or rather just shut down the tor

That would be a reason not to run tor relays at all. I do run two non-exits, but I leave the exits to other folks.

The way china is blocking tor is completely independent on the number of nodes. They even go and detect the traffic to bridges. The problem is more like that tor relies on a few directory authorities and the only protection they have is geo

Ideally you don't host with the big guys (since there are so many relays already - diversity) which makes it a bit harder to find something. Ten times so for exits. Also, occasional upgrades.

They have a shitty reputation because they funnel a higher-than-normal number of users through a single IP. And apparently cloudflare is much more aggressive on this front than anybody else in this business, including google - when I get a

You could just start to replace C++ things by plain C until it is self-hosting.

by apk17 10y ago
Horribly. C++ has so many features, and interactions between them, that you really don't want to be dragged into that as a toy project. I'd wager that the C++ language spec is longer than the source of a functional C compiler (bot

They say they put out new package; I take that to imply they don't rewrite files once deployed. But what you're describing has interesing failure modes indeed - from just successfully patching the running process to the SIVSEGV to

I wrote one myself. Fun things: 'int getuid() { return 0; }' in the userland code was sufficient for authentication. And the mountd returned the root handle of the file system. When you presented that handle to nfsd it would happi

Back then the (usual) hardware didn't support anything; the Xserver just wrote into some 100KByte of video memory, one bit per pixel. The X server had to deal with overlapping, and could.

Q: What value of TAI will be noon of July 4th, 2030 in New York? A: Honestly, nobody knows. You can estimate the number of leap seconds, but not know (much) in advance. Having (future) date representation chance occasionally does not lead t

Yes, but how does making prostitution illegal help against trafficking? It just makes the scene go (further) underground, and the actual victims can't even go to the police now because they get arrested themselves (albeit probably just

Line-of-sight isn't strictly needed. IR remote controls can get along without; a white ceiling might reflect enough light for this as well.

As far as I know arrests or searches only happened for people who ran exit node on their home connection. Running exits on hosting services puts you into a different category for the police, namely good guy to ask for traces instead of bad

That wouldn't be good for your anonymity. You get a lot of fingerprinting issues with other browsers which the tor browser tries to avoid.
