Any thoughts on keeping accurate RTC time on these things at sites with poor internet connectivity, weird latency or restrictions on outbound NTP? I'm thinking a nice addition would be a small module to plug on top of the 40-pin GPIO c

Out of curiosity, does the firmware in the Compute Module allow for PXE boot? Would be a neat way to handle corruptions of the SD / eMMC. Flick the power off through the Turing Pi's I2C, have one of the other nodes act as a PXE s

That's really nice. There are high-end products out there with redundant backplanes (dual or triple) and redundant PSUs (2 or more). To match that level of redundancy it seems you would need 4x Turing Pi, to be able to survive a simu

Holy moly! Maybe now we can finally have the bug fixed where Thunderbird displays random stuff from the email body in the Inbox tree's From and Date fields (instead of the proper envelope sender and MTA timestamp from the Return-Path a

I don't know a thing about AdSense, but I'm curious as to why the numbers depicted in the graph, while lower, shows a lot less random-looking fluctuations after the switch?

Hint: the 2011 airbook is practically indistinguishable to the 2012 model. but the 2012 model has a cheaper SSD. factory firmware on that SSD has a bug that causes it to permanently lock up / disappear from the bus, with the result th

I like it a lot. But in no way is this a brand new idea as stated in the article. One reason that I like it, is that I've been peddling the "half the earth should belong to nature" idea for a couple of years now. Not sure w

If you read the fine print in bullet #8, you'll discover that there is, per default, no validation of the presented certificate at all. Without proper certificate validation, the encryption step is cryptographically worthless. Anyone

Currently, this happens: if hostname != target { downstream.Write([]byte("452 Different domain, please reconnect and deliver separately.\r\n")) continue } else { As a side-effect, email to the secondary doma

5) Slap a nice name on the feature-set, so products can advertise it. (An important step often forgotten by engineers ;-))

Good point. S/MIME might also have some dependencies on PKI that in some scenarios could make it unsuitable for high security scenarios?

Good question! For me personally, I'm not too worried about the NSA. But I do think it is quite silly that Gmail and Outlook has a little lock icon to indicate that security is ON, while the first thing that happens when you click Sen

A thousand times yes. PGP and SMIME is perfectly fine for high security scenarios (whistleblowing and such), in other words for the 0.000001% use case. For the 99.9% use case, all that regular folks need is for the sending MX to verify that
