Why rename them at all? There are already good tools for duplicate detection. An example is fdupes [1], which is smart enough to rule out dupes by other tricks like partial hashes etc., so you can avoid hashing some of the files. [1] https

The interesting question to me is on the privacy aspect... how much control do we have over what a "PWA" can access?

I was thinking of a Frankendrive with 5 actuators, which can do 5 parallel reads/writes, as long as they don't overlap. But the new dimensions would probably be the roadblock.

Is there a reason you couldn't use a second set of actuators?

The author of the post is making the point that Signal's tradeoffs/policies are eroding support from the privacy-conscious end of the user spectrum. Crypto-soundness is excellent but when you staple an infoleak to it (contact list

Unread and uncited are very different things. It appears that the 50% number is some sort of arbitrary (short?) time scale "has it been cited yet" metric. Citing something is much harder than reading; you need to do some research,

Let's not forget that all of these papers passed review, meaning the reviewers/editor felt it made a contribution to the field. Also, just because it didn't get read right away doesn't mean it's a failure. Ask some

This post focuses only on the technical costs of TLS. The reality that we currently live in contains a hostile network where unarmoured packets are the easiest of targets. The movement to put TLS on everything is a reaction to the hostility

I agree that chip packages are as different from batteries/tubes/reactors as those three things are from each other, but that's pretty much the point. ICs are not immune to catastrophic failure either [1,2]. The analogy, &quo

Oh, you mean like keeping the lead in sealed lead acid batteries? Or the mercury in fluorescent tubes? Or the radioactive elements in the nuclear reactor? I'm not so confident that we're all that good at containment. If they are i

The list of people who downloaded an offline google translate app followed by their phone going dark is probably not lengthy.

They didn't google translate back and forth a few times, because both google and the NSA would have a copy of the originals, and that would out their original text / writing style.

You and a large number of others would like to know what is in the telemetry. If I recall correctly, the problem is that it's all TLS wrapped with pinned certs (no source on that at the moment). You'd be doing the internet communi
