There are a number of useful applications of Tor that have nothing to do with secure anonymity. If you login with your phone to a corporate restaurant's wifi, you may find a number of sites blocked. Tor can circumvent that. Onionshare

My corporate SFTP server that became mandated to use several years ago presented multiple keys, apparently because it was on DNS round robin. My attempts to convince them to use the same key came to naught, so instead I use one of the IP ad

The xargs command was designed to address this. From this perspective, it is a kludge.

If a root exploit is leveraged, then /proc/*/environ of all processes is visible to the adversary. The classical alternative has been to store (FTP) credentials in a .netrc file (also used by curl). I have some custom code to

Let's say that Google implements this restriction, but allows F-Droid a permanent permission to disable it for apps installed through their store. Then there is both increased protection and accountability.

If Google provides a permanent mechanism to disable this in developer settings, then this devolves to an inconvenience. The setting to allow unsigned apps could be per appstore tracked by an on-device sqlite database, so a badly-behaving ap

On your Chromebook, load the Linux subsystem, which you can find in settings. It will give you a shell that will have SQLite. For Windows, download the interactive command line tool from sqlite.org.

Google only directly controls the Pixel line. OEMs may be forced to do the same, but 3rd party ROMs will not. I do agree this cuts deeply for F-Droid.

I'm actually surprised that there wasn't a fork of the last GPLv2 release. The benefit of starting over is that Landley was able to relicense Toybox as BSD, after he first released it as GPLv2. That would not have been possible wi

Which SMB? SMBv1 has a reputation for being an extremely chatty protocol. Novell ipx/spx easily dwarfed it in the early days. Microsoft now disables it by default, but some utilities (curl) do not support more advanced versions. SMBv2

I can't imagine the pressure at Acorn, with the Olivetti acquisition impending, on Furber and Wilson to deliver their design unoptimized for the required task. A CPU for this century is not the one for last?
