> This is not to say that they cannot fail in some novel ways. So, then, they do not "completely eliminate" the possibility of failure. Your last sentence seems to contradict the "No." at the beginning of your reply.

I do it pretty regularly. It's fine with a good content blocker, almost unusable without.

There are many typos, in fact. I personally find it really distracting and wish authors of articles with interesting content would get someone to proofread before publishing them.

The link to the immutable, ordered map that "Java provides" seems to be a link to a third-party library created by Google. If that's enough for you to consider that a language provides a feature, just wrap the immutable order

Yeah, my passwords are encrypted to two private keys. One is on the Yubikey, the other is printed and stored securely.

Interesting. The same PIN that I use to unlock the card on my laptops works on my phone. I'm not sure what would lead to the behaviour you describe!

I haven't used the iOS client, but on Android the most common way to sync is to use your own Git repository accessed over SSH. You could use a private GitHub repo or one on your own server.

The password manager of course does not "provide" such a mechanism (I imagine providing a "bypass audit logs" button would not be a popular feature). But if you know the key (the master password, or some derivative of it

I've used this for a long time, and along with its Git integration (pushing/pulling to/from a repository on my own server, accessed over SSH) and a GPG key stored on a Yubikey Neo, I've got basically seamless sync betwee

I use Git; pass has integration with it out of the box (makes a commit for each change to the password store). I just push and pull periodically myself, but this could be automated. There is an Android app called Password Store that is comp

A hash is a value. You don't have to encode it in hex.

by jbg_ 9y ago
But you would just need to carry the salt around instead. You're just trading convenience for (significantly) lower security.

"you can lookup which passwords he accessed" Really? What if s/he just decrypted the file themselves and had a look at the content, rather than using the convenient wrapper that a password manager provides?

Somehow I missed the mention of Jabber, but I think I was only looking at the list of protocols that are already supported.

Scrolled down to the first code sample and had terrifying flashbacks to ColdFusion.

There is no mention of this supporting XMPP, but I use profanity for XMPP, and love it. The fact that it's a console application may or may not suit your tastes, of course.

It's not quite that simple. The RIPE database stores mostly administrative information, and doesn't _directly_ affect Internet routing. In order to "steal" IP addresses (get them routed to you) you would need to buy a co

Unfortunately, it's not actually an initialiser. Type confusion is really common in Ruby programs, sadly. The construct in parent assigns 1 if foo is "falsey", not strictly if it is nil. Even if foo is already initialised but

I know this is a little tangential, but this brought some simmering anger back to the surface. Just today I was trying to communicate with a bluetooth device that provides a serial channel. Back in the day I used to just run "rfcomm bi

I'm inclined to agree with you. Airports tending to be full of hyper-aware pilots who are communicating on the same radio frequencies as you shouldn't really be considered a safety margin, but it can still prevent accidents someti

I've finally arrived at a pretty comfortable 2FA setup: A Yubikey Neo for TOTP, so I can get codes on any of my devices (including my smartphone via NFC), and a dedicated dumbphone with a worldwide roaming SIM in it where SMS works (an

How is ABI compatibility with early systems the cause of this bug? You'll note that it wasn't present in Windows 7.

I think you have some malware on your device; closing all other tabs isn't something a website should be able to do.

I know some (maybe even most) of the affected airlines have significant government ownership. It could therefore be a way of gaining political leverage. It could also be a leg-up to American carriers competing on those routes. Another comme

Even Nissan has a registrar, although I imagine the bill would have to get quite overdue before they'd consider canceling their domain name.
