VUDU used to do this with their hardware box - you’d buy a movie to stream and would download it from them + peers that also had it already, and then you’d be seeding it as well. I couldn’t tell from a quick Google if the modern VUDU servic

There should be some variant of Betteridge's law[0] for headlines like this, where you insert some arbitrary, small number into the headline: "5 Americans are retiring to Vietnam, for cheap healthcare and a decent standard of livi

Rego is a nice language to use (IMO), but also has roots in logic programming and is closer to datalog than SQL.

It gets even worse / weirder - I've found if you search for products that might not even exist, you get made up lists of products. A while ago, I wondered if there were such a thing as a microwave + toaster oven combo (there are s

CUE is great - it's the first config language I've used that feels like it's getting things right. I've been playing with some different ways of using CUE: - https://github.com/cuebernetes/cuebectl

This looks great! How is revocation handled? Will a proxy using sharewith as an oidc provider hit the authz graph on every request?

I have the exact same problem and have gone down the exact same rabbit hole with no real solution. Fully disassembling (essentially uninstalling), cleaning, and sanitizing everything that touches water seems to fix it for a few cycles, but

I suspect they're referring to the semver sorting rules as written in the spec: > When major, minor, and patch are equal, a pre-release version has lower precedence than a normal version: > Example: 1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0. see:

I run OSMC[0] which is really just raspbian + kodi + updates. Because it's just debian, I also run homeassistant in a docker container started with systemd. I like this because: - OSMC ensures it boots into kodi and keeps kodi up to da

This is somewhat related to a hack I threw together recently: https://github.com/ecordell/jf It attempts to address a similar problem (comparing json or subsets of json), but I wanted the structure of what was being co

I can’t speak to caseta, but I would highly recommend RadioRa2 from lutron. The signals are flawless and continue to work even if there are otherwise problems with my raspi. ClearConnect (the wireless protocol) has its own spectrum and does

I’m not sure what the implementation status is, but PEP 458 and 480 define how to integrate TUF with PyPI. It could be that pgp is being de-emphasized in favor of TUF? (A quick search couldn’t tell me the integration status or if there are

I have written a blog post on macaroons for you: http://evancordell.com/2015/09/27/macaroons-101-contextual-c... It may be sufficiently half-baked (not because I'm unfamiliar with the material but becaus

I would check out https://www.home-assistant.io/ for integrating multiple systems together. I use it on a RasPi to integrate a few disparate systems (Amazon, Nest, RadioRa2) and it works very well. There are modules for mos

Most of what you describe is external to TUF (authenticating, logging, the specifics of the data you're protecting and how you transfer it once it's validated). A couple things you pointed out are definitely hard with TUF right no
