Im not able to use SSL certs on all my endpoints. I have to use self-signed certs. That's because many of my machines are on TOR hidden services. The CA-CERT won't allow any certs for .onion unless you buy at exorbitant price an E

Well, not really. Netflix and such need Chrome to play videos because of DRM. Well, let me see: Netflix doesn't cache any videos, so if I want to watch something more than once, it's smarter to download it unencumbered. And then i

Oh, and I think what you did is small (in terms of deployment), but tremendously important. Current IoT implementations all rely on a corporate link to their servers, which I heartily disagree with. You can see a lot more of my acerbic comp

Unfortunately for those of us who use TOR, SSL certs can only be granted to those who go through EV2 verification.... and pay $500/yr to DigiCert. It's still a horrible situation, but has been made better for the general web thank

That's the special part of this: People who buy prints that they upload are a customer and a product. Companies that buy the aggregate big data package of all individual customers are also customers. A simple EULA boilerplate "w

By default, I use comprehensive ad blockers on my client machines. I also suggest and assist installing them as well on anyone's machine without cost (normally billable). A great deal of problems are solved full stop by doing that simp

But that is a low-margin business. So I have tons of images associated with accounts. So, why can't I do a 'google' and image mine too? Aaaand, I can sell the results to whatever data company? Suddenly, higher margins and ful

At the most unidea circumstances, you can scan the whole space of "{16 alphanumeric characters}.onion" at a space of 36^16 or around 7x10^24 addresses. That's not feasible. The other attack I've seen is turning on HSDir

Oh, of course option 1 is the most palatable, until everyone gets their shit together regarding standards. No, I know I'm going down the "Here ye be dragons" path of making my own IoT infrastructure. It's been one hell o

Oh yes. I talk greatly about that on my blog, crankylinuxuser.net All in all, there are open standards in which IoT devices could communicate: MQTT(mosquitto), CoAP(Californium), AMQP(rabbitMQ) to name a few. Yet, none of the major vendors

With that Windows flowchart tool, no clue. But with Node-Red, I can use Flow-Cloner to close the main repo to my local machine. Then I can do work, and make sequential updates to my project in projects/project1/flows.json and use

Frankly, I don't care about what percentage of the population gets X. Or Y. Or might get Z. In the end, those studies are nigh worthless, because they are about some statistic. When you're a doctor, a statistic is nice because the

Nope. Doesn't work in my case. At least in reference to carbohydrates (simple and complex). More carbs = higher blood sugar. Currently, diabetes type 2 dietitians say I can eat up to 60g carbs per meal. Well, see for yourself and tell

First, cholesterol doesn't pass through the gastric system into blood in any meaningful amounts. The body makes its own cholesterol in the liver. So why do doctors say "cut down on cholesterol", when the body absorbs only neg
