So, if I use a VPS, how do I protect myself? I am not clear on what to do here. I don't knowingly use AES anywhere; does using bcrypt/scrypt for my PW hashing help at all or is that unrelated?

Same here. I really enjoyed reading it, but I don't understand a lot of what it is talking about. I also bookmarked it. When the post had 0 comments I was tempted to post something to the effect of what I just said, but I figured it di

Is this a for-fun-and-interest project or do you expect to make money off of it? Because while I'd enjoy taking a gander over the site, I don't want to give you my email address, and if the site is just a free thing I'd kind

Interesting, I like the "git status -sb" (short, show branch tracking info) command. The query one seems a lot like "git grep" to me, I am not sure I understand the difference. The specified "git ac" alias (git

I'm one of those people for whom weed brought about psychosis (requiring a three week hospital stay -- I was certified). I smoked for ~13 years before this happened; I definitely had other negative side effects but nothing nearly that

I do believe you've neglected to mention Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness meditation. You did mention cognitive talk therapy with a professional, but my reading of David Burns' books (and my subsequent personal experie

I think your claim requires some elaboration. How about some concrete examples?

Nice intro, I thought it was a bit short though. I was thinking, "OK, now we're going to get into it..." and then it ended.

I don't see the sense in this response. Just because I can pirate something doesn't make me feel ripped off for not doing so. I feel better for having paid someone for their time and effort.

Cool, never heard of it. "In computer networking, port knocking is a method of externally opening ports on a firewall by generating a connection attempt on a set of prespecified closed ports. Once a correct sequence of connection attem

That was awesome. I finished it. I died 92 times. The jumping mechanics reminded me of "air control" in strafe jumping in Quake 2. Can you tell I haven't played games much lately? Love the music. I have had the tab opened for

I suspect they make a fair bit of money from people like me, who are lazy and/or have full-time jobs, and have commissioned a server or three and never actually use them.

I actually clapped and said "Oh my god!" when I got to the last line. That was a great story. Also, here is what a Halon discharge looks like: http://youtu.be/2fyGGqgVzCY?t=1m36s

I gotta say, that's a pretty awesome story. Didn't expect that to be the seeds of transformation.

In the past, I've set up big MOTD style messages that say "PROD" in fancy ASCII graffiti when I ssh/connect a DB client/whatever to production. I think I will set one of those up now for my current setup. Also, sort

That was quite informative, but I have to say that the guy who did the interview really disoriented me. He kept jumping on everyone's words and it felt like he was way over caffeinated. I watched it almost 10 minutes ago and I still fe

That was so intense... I was stressed from the very beginning. There's a lot to be said for a stable paycheck. Personally, I only buy used cars and pay cash. But if I didn't, I know that I'd be buying my car at the end of the

While FF OS does sound pretty bad from the descriptions in article, I'm willing to cut it some slack. Sounds like it should not have been released at this point, to me, but the biggest benefit (IMO) of open-source software is that thin

I got the addon working, but I can't seem to make the nav and the title bar collapse. Does this only work in the unstable builds? I wonder if this is not available on my platform (MacOS).
