Still available on GOG: https://www.gog.com/game/stunt_island I regret not getting into it back in the day as I was too busy with Flight Simulator 4 and all its expansions :)

I'm not going to continue this argument as it seems pointless. There's a reason Chrome and others moved away from prominently showing EV properties: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/H

I never said that. The alternative isn't no lock of course. It's the free lock that's equally safe to the one with the green "this is safe" sticker that you pay a premium for.

The only reason to get EV certs is the supposedly "safe" green organization field. As demonstrated it can be circumvented by anyone with minimal monetary motivation. Why even bother in that case? I rate that as "does not help

Does not help in any real way. See https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/12/nope-... for an example.

Agreed. Especially if it's unclear whether or not that's used for any kind of magical and probably broken account recovery process. I have to click through the Paypal "give me your phone number" question every time I log

That sounds pretty fun. I suggest you add some screenshots of what a dashboard might look like. (If I missed them, I'm sorry for the noise)

They use dark pattern to hide that: You'll have to cancel their attempt to open/download (one of that, don't remember) the native app three times before the link appears.

Additionally you can encode webm within the browser, although it feels a bit dirty to do so: https://github.com/antimatter15/whammy

It seems google is better at that: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/consistency (when compared to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/Introduction... )

Pretty nice and rewarding once you can first join your own server :-) Can confirm that the protocol is a mess. Also expect it to change massively between major versions, including new data types or shuffled packet ids. I've created a p

For projects that are "finished" and will not be updated, I think using the archive function could be helpful. Marking a project as archived removes the issues tab among other things and clearly communicates that the owner is not

Not sure how that's today, but a few years ago their "mobile experience first" stuff resulted in quite some security issues: https://media.ccc.de/v/33c3-7969-shut_up_and_take_my_money . That alone would b

There's also the rather nice CM3-Panel ( https://www.acmesystems.it/CM3-PANEL ) as well as the Artista IoT displays ( http://www.apollodisplays.com/iot-compact-panels/ ).

So basically the perfect combination if you want to boot a Raspberry Pi from a single partition for some reason. I like it!

Yes: By design. This helps make brute forcing the password harder by forcing each attempt to take a while. The crypto implementation in the browser itself is pretty fast. You can easily make it faster or instantaneous by lowering the number

Indeed. The project motivation is even similar to mine (bootstrap yourself in case everything gets lost). I guess the main difference between the two is that I tried to make the generated HTML minimal so it's easier to verify before en

Nice. Did you measure the performance of scrypt.js? The PBKDF2 implementation in Python and both Chrome/Firefox are similar for me and the Python documentation states something like 3x slower that the OpenSSL implementation [1]. So it
443.
by dividuum 7y ago
Nice. I guess the big difference is the key used for the symmetric encryption. I'm using PBKDF2 to derive the final key to make it harder to brute force in case you get the HTML file.
444.
by dividuum 7y ago
That's very much by design. The idea is that even if the file is stolen, a good password should still protect against a lot of bruteforcing.
445.
by dividuum 7y ago
If there's no error message in the browser console, I guess the 20 million PBKDF2 might be a bit much. Which browser are you using?

Can't confirm this myself, but in previous threads about similar topics, people noted that some of those "smart" devices probe every open WiFi they find and use that without your explicit consent. So it's not always poss

Actually the flashing process was simplified compared to previously. It now relies on the reboot you mentioned with the following mechanism: You need the following files from https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom&#x
