I guess it's not using just one oracle, otherwise you still have a single point of failure, right? So N oracles are used? What happens if 1 out of N is malicious? k out of N? How do you check that the N oracles are not actually run by

If you use tokenized versions of things, don't most of the 5 benefits listed previously break down? If you have an entity selling some tokens representing GOOG on some blockchain, then this entity can (will) be regulated, is a central

I guess I was curious about both, thanks for yours answers! I hadn't thought about PoE, having never used it myself, so indeed at one cable per device there's not much more to do.

Have you tried to experiment with 802.11s and mesh networks to remove some of these Ethernet cables by any chance? I'm looking into some "advanced" router features these days, and I was surprised that there is a standard for

I think it's useful to directly use the word which describes this strategy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism This makes it faster for you to refute their point, especially in front of other people who mi

Syncthing is awesome. The next feature I hope they'll manage to get in is "encrypted devices", to allow the use of VPS and other less-trusted devices without losing much in terms of security. I would be really uneasy to let a

In terms of security and privacy, WhatsApp and Wire are the next ones in the list after Signal.

There are some there: https://www.signal.org/ tptacek regularly endorses Signal (compared with alternatives) on HN.

Workaround for Signal for 2 accounts: you can use the beta version, which uses a different data folder, to use two different accounts. Obviously that'd be better to have a configurable data folder.

Automation is a big part though, having to do it manually on 5 faces is tedious, pressing a button is not.

If you dig deeper, you can easily find that the consensus among IT security experts is Signal for privacy / security. Matrix is interesting and I hope it will catch up eventually, but currently it is not E2EE by default and it leaks wa

About suffix aliases, shouldn't one resort to file associations instead, and use the corresponding command (possibly with an alias)? It seems weird to have these settings stored in two places, and have inconsistent results when you ope

I prefer something like "alias sp=trash" (sp for suppress), and getting into the habit of using this alias (for instance by doing alias rm="echo nope"), so that if I use it on another machine by mistake, it just fails in

AFAIK the encryption is done on the servers, not offline, so you can't just brute-force it: https://signal.org/blog/secure-value-recovery/

Firefox Send is E2EE (albeit via JS code served at every connection), contrary to sendgb (AFAICT), which makes it a strictly better option.

Or any other file sharing website for that matter, but at least use something more secure from a more trustworthy company, such as https://send.firefox.com/ (never heard of sendgb.com).

No text is censored on WhatsApp, it's technically impossible due to E2EE. Obviously you can't send GB of data in one message, and there must some other small client-side restrictions, but nothing you can reasonably call censorship

var/auto is a trade-off which requires good tooling support, as you said. Once you're able to see the types as you see fit in your IDE, I feel that you're mostly better off, for all the reasons already mentioned in the thread

I guess front-end development is the obvious one. The Node.js version on Debian Buster is 10.15.2~dfsg-2, while you have 12.16.2 on the official NodeJS website. To be fair, OP mentioned that the official packages were often useless, not the
