Generate a PGP key using in-browser JS. Use that key submitted posts. Then, later, sign either the file hashes or the public key itself using actual secure PGP. This is optional. I'm not claiming any level of security, this is all most

I'm using OpenPGP.js for drop-in decentralized client-side authentication for my web-based message board. This has several benefits, which includes giving technically-savvy users to do their own key generation and message signing using

Imagine a machine learning algorithm to write Perl. This algorithm is allowed to run for 4.5 billion years, and it has produced, through random iteration, a very good CMS. The CMS works great most of the time, but there's a bug which r

Society demands a sleep schedule, yet the very idea of sleeping on a schedule is newly invented for industrial society. Having done several years of experimenting on myself, I've come to the conclusion that our sleep needs vary greatly
