Yes, the "setup" messages via the Mailbox Server will be over the internet to a third-party server. All the contents of these messages are end-to-end encrypted so you reveal which two IP addresses are communicating, but not the co

It is compatible, you just have to configure the other client to use the same servers. For example, to use the "wormhole" Python CLI with Destiny, you can do this: wormhole --relay-url wss://mailbox.mw.leastauthority.com

I would personally keep "pair programming" at the top of the list, this _really_ helps everyone learn. Even more importantly, it tightens the loop between "write code, review code, change code, merge it finally" since yo

It sounds like you're suggesting that magic-wormhole only wishes to provide end-to-end encryption to "abnormal" people. I don't believe that's true and there already exist implementations of the open magic-wormhole

I don't know the exact answer to that, but "not much" in comparison to the time to send the bytes over the network. The actual contents are encrypted using AES which often has built-in instructions on modern processors and is

Sure, yes you could do that -- I mean, PrivateStorage is just shipping you a "real actual Tahoe client". The main feature you're getting is the managed storage-servers. So if you happened to "not completely trust" t

In the PrivateStorage case the machines aren't "trusted" but they are all run by the service you're paying for -- so the incentive to keep them running properly is indeed there. For other kinds of Tahoe deployments, no t

An expert could figure out how to get the PrivateStorage Tahoe client to use other storage servers, but yes in general it is "a managed service" and I don't think using your own storage-servers will be "a supported confi

Tahoe-LAFS does "erasure coding" on the chunks of data. This increases the size of the data (adding redundancy) so that you can recover a file without recovering every single chunk. These parameters are decided client-side. In the

Tahoe-LAFS by itself is probably not (you do have to configure and keep some Python-based daemon software running), but PrivateStorage is a managed service.

I don't believe OnionShare uses txtorcon at all, actually. And I wrote txtorcon, not Micah ;) but they're both decent options for publishing depending on your use-cases.

The codes have a small number in front; these are the requests. So if the server did allow 65k requests, each one would be a different number. You can guess once per request. Yes, an attacker can denial-of-service by guessing once on all

The attacker still just gets 1 guess per wormhole / send request. Each send-request / wormhole is its own separate thing.

I think these types of studies are all going to be fatally flawed with a bunch of very-hard-to-untangle factors: since "40 hours" (or more) is the "expected norm" then if you're working less you've either fough

I have, and it was more an attitude/cultural thing: the reviewee took any criticism very personally, and was hence super defensive and unlikely to change anything anyway. Honestly, I think it's actually really, really hard not t

Yeah, the answer to "commercial mass-produced eggs waste resources" isn't "let's use mass-produced X instead!" ...it's more along the lines of what you suggest: preferring locally-produced eggs from smalle

...and in fact, there's a popular use-case called "using memcached" that does have side-effects. That is, doing a GET on something absolutely changes the server "state" (in the sense that memcached might have a key
