I taught myself Access 97 when I was about 10 years old and helped a teacher set up a small database to register library books. I couldn't have done that with a real SQL database, but Access was somewhat discoverable. Never underestima

Maybe for a secure messenger, but for a private one? It bugs me that I need to share my phone number with people that I want to contact on Signal, especially since Signal claims to focus on privacy. A private messenger should be usable anon

Storing the social graph is not required at all. For example, Threema creates a random alphanumeric identity that is linked to your public key (instead of linking the phone number directly to your public key). It's possible to optiona

Does someone know how this works with the group crypto? Once someone left the group, shouldn't all group members' devices reject all messages from that contact (who is now a non-member)?

Small, but real-world-ish with a JS map: https://xn--gfrr-7qa.li/ Still missing a lot of festures and polish though.

I don't think a centralized and by-default unencrypted XMPP server for all MPs would be a good solution. Signal isn't ideal either, as it requires sharing the phone number. I'm biased since I work for Threema, but any decentr

This is pretty afwul. Works perfectly on my Debian machine (where sudo for this user requires the password): $ sudo -u#-1 whoami root Ubuntu has fixes, Debian still seems vulnerable: https://security-tracker.debian.o

Yep, but that's the "open source" Android app, where the irregular code dumps are often weeks or months behind the released Play Store version...

Hah, I used a modded iPod Mini as well! I was awesome, especially playlist handling. And playing Doom on it.

Well if you destroy the antenna then your warranty is void anyways.

The radio chip may be on the SoC, but not the Antenna.

Backtracking life decisions like that is fun :) But I find it hard to believe that HPC in the cloud is cheaper than HPC on bare metal, assuming high load most of the time. For computing weather models, that should he the case.

Slightly offtopic, but the windy.com service referenced in the article is really a fantastic resource if you learn to use it properly. I rely on it for paragliding a lot, the animated winds are much easier to understand for the brain than s

I was spammed by you. I first thought you're an idiot, but this is fine ;) Pinging all viewers of a public document with a message should not be possible.

You fill out a tax declaration every year. If you don't disclose some values and this is discovered later on, you will be punishable with a fine (between 30% and 300% of the tax on the non-disclosed values). The fine can be avoided in

To me as a Swiss citizen, born in Switzerland, living in Switzerland, it's an impertinence that every time I open a bank account with a Swiss bank I have to fill out at least 1 form with information about my relation to the US, about m

If this is about practical use instead of ethical arguments: I think QC chargers are more widely available right now than USB PD chargers. Basically every Chinese charger or powerbank nowadays does QC. I've rarely seen one with USB PD.

According to the company: - It's cheaper per KWh (they claim 40%, IIRC, but that was in 2015) - It requires less maintenance (no moving parts) - It doesn't kill birds - It's silent (no frequencies >20 Hz) - It's 30% l

Using a phone number for authentication and identity remains a fundamentally bad idea. Encryption keys should remain on devices and authentication should happen explicitly.
