Why are you writing your own solution? Is it just for fun? I was under impression that there are tons of opensource available platforms to host courses.

smtp might be broken, but it would be extremely hard to replace it to something incompatible, as it's a very core of the nowadays internet. Moreover it has the advantage no other popular communication service has: people somehow manage

Why massively put people in jail for everything? In most countries jails are no good to prisoners. They are used to isolate people from society, not to help people to become a better person. And society is putting tones of money to support

They already blocked it once. As they normally block domain and IP, they ran into issue when owner of blocked domain set the A record to 127.0.0.1. The same "hack" was used to block Google and other huge sites. Once they found out

What's the "5" in your equation? :) However it's still way too much. 300 * 8 * 22 * 12 = 0.63M per year. In my opinion you must be at least Linus Torvalds's deputy to pretend on that.

From this perspective it's the same under Putin, just different people. They just make it look like it's not and massively brainwash people in every possible way. GDP goes down. Money flow out of country is growing. Poverty over t

Ah. wow. At the time I had a mouse it didn't work that way. Nowadays I use trackpoint only and even have no physical mouse at all. But that's good to know there's a progress. Thx.

From the other side once you share your data, you lose control over it. Your identity might be stolen / sold / used for something illegal by whoever has the access to it. Nobody is gonna solve this problem. Moreover in a lot of co

Well, but these are the public keys. All you can is just to install it to your system and wait for someone to login using the private part... A lot of people would like to see the working way to get the private key out of public key :)
