Here's a one line patch to make OpenSSH log passwords: http://16s.us/docs/sshlog/sshlog.patch I log passwords (just as a hobby) to see what type of passwords the brute-force bots are currently using. Here&#x2

Email accounts are the weak link for many things... DNS registrations, web hosting, etc. Get the email account and you have it all.

Mixing it into other sources of randomness could not hurt your crypto. Using it as the only source would be very bad.

I, too, am a student. We all learn from each other. We can't say where we will end up in life. No one knows this for certain. Being responsible and planning for the future are good things. Taking good care of yourself financially, ment

I would spend more time helping others understand that life is difficult and that we are impermanent. If we stop and think about why we feel unhappy, angry, insecure or afraid then we can understand and remove the cause. We long for the pas

Sites that allow anonymous postings through tor (e.g. reddit) are the last remaining voice of freedom on the Internet. It is unfortunate that HN is not numbered among those sites. Edit: I was incorrect about HN. See the comment below. I am

You are on the path to understanding why this is difficult for you. If you touch it deeply and think a great deal on it, you can learn to acknowledge and overcome it. You may like to read some of Thich Nhat Hanh's books. He teaches peo

The incompatibility is with their beliefs, it's not technical. You can get Apache 2 in ports and packages. They disagre with the license, so it is not acceptable to them in base. It's the same reason they ship an ancient GCC in ba

Coke, that used to come in 6 ounce bottles, now comes in 24 and 32 ounce bottles. And rather than one once a week as a treat, we can have one or two each day. That's at least part of the problem.

Watching Android versus iWhatever is like watching Windows versus Macintosh all over again. How soon will they have 97% of the market is now the question.

That's very cool. Allowing the users to have meaningful input will really set them apart. I don't do reddit much, but this is very noble and generous of them!

You can have chronic PTSD from many things. For example, people who were abandoned, beaten and physically abused as children. That's just one example, there are many others. You don't have to be a war vet who saw active combat or

I call this the "PhD from MIT Syndrome". A few of them actually think that they know everything about everything no matter their field of study. The are polymaths (in their own minds at least). Years ago, a physics professor

Sorry to hear about your loss. I hope they catch the thief. Another very good reason to encrypt your hard drive is to prevent others from placing data on it. If they can access the drive, their motive may be to frame you by placing illegal

I buy holiday supplies (Christmas tree lights), birthday cards and chocolates for my wife at CVS. They are always open and usually have a good selection of items. They are never really too crowded either. I'm in the US.

We all have accents whether we were born in America or not. Have you ever been in the South? Just because we talk slow doesn't mean we think slow ;) Typically, it just requires spending time around the person and interacting with them.

Norway must be nice. The short notices and general environment in the U.S. (everyone is suspect) really makes American families feel on edge. And, most Americans are very reasonable. I would never smash-up something that belonged to my empl

I've seen corporations in the U.S. change the locks on doors and not tell employees. The next morning, they'd have security officers escort workers back to their former offices so they could get personal pictures and things. Emplo

Placing a marker on TC volumes, or some sort of easily identifiable header, would have prevented governments from thinking that /dev/urandom data may in fact be TC volumes. By trying to hide the volumes, and to claim that they &qu

When talking about normal people, the answer to that question is, "No". TCHunt was written in 2007 (7 years ago) and demonstrates that random data that is modulo 512 and larger than X bytes is very unique when looking at files tha

When I saw "Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces" I thought... the shell, the file system and the kernel. And if you know what I mean by that, then you, too, are old.

RCA went after Armstrong. They knew that by convincing the FCC to change the frequencies they could seriously disrupt FM and make existing equipment useless. Armstrong later committed suicide. His wife won all of the on-going lawsuits. Basi
