We're changing to LGPLv3. See https://github.com/jewel/clearskies/blob/master/license-chan... . The C++ implementation is also LGPL.

My original intent was that you could have it running on a linode or other virtual machine where you don't trust the hardware.

At one point I had it as a required part of the protocol, but later decided that it added a lot of complexity so moved it to an extension. I'm currently working on a minor reorganization of the protocol in the protocol_cleanup branch.

This is handled by the protocol; see https://github.com/jewel/clearskies/blob/master/protocol/cor... . As an aside, I am currently adding a more sophisticated manifest exchange in the "protocol_

There's a common tracker, currently running at clearskies.tuxng.com. The plan is to add DHT support similar to the DHT used by BitTorrent. We'll seed the DHT using the tracker. If you want you can also run your own tracker. You

That is a good idea. I have considered having a network service like that, but I'm a little too paranoid. I want something that will survive heretofore unseen events, like a 0-day remote root exploit in the Linux kernel networking st

This is one reason why I tell people to have both offsite backups (in case of fire, theft, etc.) and offline backups. There are a lot of us that are just one SSH worm away from having all of our files destroyed. I've been thinking a

I think that's because less people writing computer programs are calling themselves "programmers". There were one million "Software Developers" in 2012, according to the same source: http://www.bls.gov&#

This can be done by the ISP with a combination of DNS64 and NAT64.

So far I've only accepted jobs that will let me be paid by the hour, instead of salary, with 1.5 times pay for overtime. I feel like it much more reasonably aligns expectations, and in 10+ years of working that way, I've only don

Instead of a headphone switch, you can enable and disable "Auto-mute" automatically, at least in linux: amixer sset 'Auto-Mute Mode' Disabled This lets you switch between headphone and speaker mode with a keyboa

If you paste that URL into a feed reader it should find the feed link from the page source. It's http://blog.vjeux.com/feed , in case your feed reader doesn't do that for some reason.

It actually works pretty well, at least in Thunderbird. I don't use gmail for my personal email, but my employer uses google apps. IMAP access lets me have both accounts in one interface.

You're certainly right. Did you see that the page specifically targets people who make javascript libraries? The page is arguing that when possible, libraries shouldn't depend on jquery, and shows how to do that for a few common

The way I work around this is launching a separate chrome for each account. For example, I have a work-trello and a personal-trello command in ~/bin, but you can use shortcuts in Windows or whatever the equivalent is in OS X. chromium-

It's once a month, and is a two-meal fast of both food and drink. Another concrete cultural practice that could make a difference is that Mormons abstain from alcohol, coffee, tea, and tobacco.

I believe GP was saying two separate things. First of all, it's unusual to commit binaries to source control, because they can't be merged, etc. Second of all, he personally isn't comfortable with binaries and would rather

When this is important, you can make it so that stdout and stderr are the same stream, via a variety of methods. With bash this is done with 2>&1, as in: command 2>&1

An interesting way to share a private repo is with a sync tool such as dropbox or btsync. In short, you create a bare repository locally, add that as a remote, and then share the bare repo. Detailed instructions about halfway through this

I've found it to be really helpful to keep a project work log when working alone. Mine are very verbose and help the most at the time of writing, since it keeps me on task and solidifies ideas. My friend does the same thing, here&#x27

The issue I have with duplicity is that every N backups have to be a full backup, so a large backup (such as my photo collection) becomes impossible.

Thanks for mentioning ClearSkies. I have only mentioned it in a comment thrice on hacker news when it seemed appropriate (and pretty much nowhere else), and it's amazing to see someone else bring it up! We've been working to get

This is the same issue I have with btsync, so about a month ago I started working on an open-source clone, with similar features but an open, documented protocol. https://github.com/jewel/clearskies

Yes, at a former job that was exactly how we did it in our point-of-sale software. The software had the public key and could do a one-way encryption of the data for temporary storage on disk if the network was down. The private key only e

A game like an FPS doesn't need much speed (they can work with modem-level bitrate). They instead depend on having low latency, or ping time. Since the moon is so far away, it takes a signal 1.3 seconds to travel to or from it.
