> And to reiterate: C should finally be a real assembly language, something we not need to worry about. Assembly is used quite a lot and if you're a programmer Assembly is very valuable to know _at least_ how to understand it. I dis

Mercuriall's plugins are amazing, too. Their Spark plugin and SS-11X (can't tell the difference on that one) are so unbelievably good. If this open source one can do what Spark can do.. I dunno.. I'd shave my beard.

I'm not so sure people really give a damn about that.

See, I have the flip side. Psilocybin has been a huge help for me. Now, the first time I decided to take it I was indeed uncomfortable. However I soon realized that I was facing my own fears and anxiety. After a while I found that my depres

Well, there was a project called GitChain*; however, it seems that the project is looking for a new leader. Was a very cool idea. -> http://gitchain.org

This year's growing season was absolutely hideous for me. Everything was either ripe too early or didn't have enough time to produce. I even had a late frost that killed off a lot my more vulnerable crops. I decided to try out ind

Docker seems pretty useful. CoreOS seems pretty useful, too. Hmm.. Yeah, Go definitely isn't going to happen. /s

Emacs recently switched to git. Emacs did not move to GitHub. There is a mirror repo but Emacs itself is not on GitHub.

I remember reading discussion how to address this problem. I can't for the life of me find it, though.

As far as I can tell, uTox is written in C and uses XLib (on GNU/Linux, at least).

I have been looking forward to this. Of course there are a lot of features missing, but the overall feel of the application is, so far, pretty nice. It's U.I is very nice. Man, I can't wait for the final release.

I support his dicision. I just wish there was some warning so I could have prepared for losing all of my contact information, etc. This couldn't have happened at a worse time as my backup server took a rather ultimate farewell yesterda

They way things are nowadays, I just don't know the answer to that anymore... Wasn't Obama a Constitutional Lawyer? You'd think he'd know better.

Microsoft willingly developed backdoors into their systems for the NSA. They were actively developing ways to help the NSA. Google, Apple, Yahoo, Facebook, etc. have lost trust because of this whole spying thing. To say that these companies

When there are laws that attempt to force people to do things they do not wish to do you get a push back - you get something like Bitcoin or Tor or I2P, etc. Law is always a step behind. What you see right now is Law trying to play catch up

If people store their coins on a central server it can happen like any other data. Bitcoin, however, can be used without the use of a third party storing your coins.

Plus U.S law enforcement having the ability (under Canadian officers guidance) to arrest Canadian citizens on Canadian soil. I also remember the Harper government opening up sharing Canadian citizen's personal information with the U.S

As far as I can tell, the advantage of using tormail (the hidden service) coupled with GPG/PGP is simply the added layer of security (which is anonymity). Like I stated before, Tor isn't necessarily for privacy. It is all about anonymity. S

If I'm not mistaken, I think, at least in Ontario, there is a massive amount of dark fiber just laying around not being used.

100$ a month for 50M/50M still seems pretty damn steep of a price to me; even with phone and tv. Especially compared to Google Fiber at 1G.

by biomechanica 14y ago
The point is, as it's a hidden service, you don't know. It would defeat the purpose if you knew who was running it. I know there are concerns with that, "It could be a honeypot!!" etc. Though it's also the reason why you would use GPG/PGP t

I guess what we're seeing is basically, when it comes straight down to it: We are all pretty damn lazy.

Jitsi is one.

by biomechanica 14y ago
I completely agree with you except for one thing. Tor isn't necessarily for privacy. It has more to do with anonymity by taking steps so people can't see who you are. By using Tormail there is still a chance that you can leak information ab

I am dismissing the "convenience" factor simply to prove a point. I am under no illusion that there needs to be better alternatives out there that fill in the gaps. However, it is also important to note that while there is certainly a conve

Again with this notion that facebook solves the "sharing photo's" problem. It is not the only means of communication or file sharing. There are applications out there that are much better and less susceptible to unwanted eyes/abuse. While I

It is not "anti" at all. Like I wrote already, the point isn't to replace the convenience of facebook. It is to seek alternatives that will "do the job". Yes, the postal service is absolutely an alternative, whether you agree or not. It is

Then use other means of contact. The point isn't to replace facebook with the same amount of convenience. The point is to disable the illusion that Facebook is necessary to keep in contact with your distant friends/family. Use a phone. Use
