Just to add an anecdote, I had a design/construction defect on every MacBook I owned after iBook, although almost all of them were covered by replacement programs: 2007 (?) 17" MBP - bad display (no recall), bad battery (recall) 1

MIT license includes the right to sublicense, however the terms of sublicensing is retaining the original copyright and permission notices, so you'll still have to retain the large portion of the MIT license text.

Even if the licenses are _compatible_, releasing contributions under a different license is not allowed without permission from the contributors. If you read the CLA, the contributors agree to allow Facebook to sublicense their contributi

True, it's not a copyright assignment, so Facebook should probably maintain the list of copyright owners somewhere (e.g. Go has (C) Go Authors and the list of authors is in a separate file), however, the CLA terms I quoted allow sublic

Huh? From the set of all possible linked OpenBSD kernels (2^number_of_dot_o_files), the kernel you re-link is unique. And distinct, too.

by dchest 9y ago
Oh, I'm sorry, unique in the current Universe from its birth many many trillions of trillions of years until after the death of all currently known galaxies. Still not unique? No other OpenBSD installation had or will ever have the s

Random linking of at least 160 files will give more combinations than there are atoms on Earth. I counted 1206 *.o files in OpenBSD kernel. Unique enough?

Such generators seem to pop up every week or so (I'm also guilty of creating a few of them; then switched to a normal password manager). Obligatory analysis: https://crypto.stackexchange.com/a/5691

It's not a property of a regulated market, it's a property of a specific centralized system. Nothing prevents SEC from "regulating" a system where such rollback is impossible, and nothing prevents centralized cryptocurre

Thanks for explanation. Do you know of any implementations?

BLAKE2b mentioned above would be more than twice faster on 64-bit CPUs. But I think we'll soon see SHA-256 CPU instructions on most processors (ARM and lower-cost Intel and latest AMD already ship them - https://neosmart.net&

Considering that it uses xz for compression, does the performance of SHA-256 matter? (Well, using faster hash function can speed up finding duplicate blocks, which were already packed.) I'm more interested to hear about buzhash, though

both buzhash and SHA-256 are kinda poor choices for a new system Why?

Yes, thread model for full disk encryption is defined for an attacker that has ability to read the encrypted contents of disk at any point in time . CTR mode is also malleable at bit level, while XTS is less so (this matters when an attack

Homework: after encrypting a file, I edit it, and the block is changed and re-encrypted with the same block number as a counter. Question: can you discover something about ciphertext which allows you to guess plaintext? If so, what? Complet

I have two of their U2F and if the OP's problem is sales and support, I'm not really sure Nitrokey are without issues as well: 1) Ordered 2, received 1. Thankfully, support quickly sent the second one once I wrote to them. 2) Now
