Yup. Plausible deniability only works if a strategy is unlikely to be known by an adversary. In this case, it is widely known that TrueCrypt has hidden volume capabilities, so there's not much of a veil of ignorance to hide behin

Ugh, that's annoying. Fails the unwritten rule of "value first before shamelessly plugging stuff."

OpenBSD overall is interesting. The installer alone signals how simple and elegant is the rest of the OS (take a look at the source [0]). A dozen basic questions give or take, and one can have a fully-functional box. Revenue-wise, the bes

Why not just build from source a-la gentoo? For the osx client, I built bitcoin-qt from source with openssl 1.0.1f.

For smaller webops shops, blocking ntp might not be possible. For larger ones, having local strata0 timesources are an option. GPS gives you very precise, relativistic time for extremely low cost. (Bias: /me == Frmr Trimble employee.

It's funny you should mention this. So I used to be the lead sysadmin for the largest profit-center dept at one of the most well known universities. I left due to pressure to degrade security of the network for credit card processing

SNMP has a history of being horribly insecure, because it was assumed people wouldn't put their mgmt hardware on the public IPs. It should only be deployed in trusted networks. It's about as secure as nonkrb5, unencrypted telnet

This sound like what brought down the GnuPG main site. Sounds like an Anonymous(TM)-type thing.

The "captology" of the site doesn't convey enough reputation. CV's, history and some support / contact details. Also an easy way to build from source. The bigger issue is making build environments reproducible suc

Interesting. Moscow has had these for quite a while. From the owner side, it seems like the way to keep people from buying the cheapest thing and occupying a table. From the consumption side, is seems like another way to squeeze more money

I just use SO as a quick triaging of issues / questions. It, like most web things, are marginally better than a web search. Better to go to IRC if it's a technical question, but again that might not get a response. Btw, for Rails

I'm really missing Erlang's awesome binary structure bit-parsing/matching/twiddling. IMHO golang is extremely orthogonal, that it tries to live to an ideal instead of being most practical (ie generics). btw, folks should

It's true. I'd label it "indirect knowledge hoarding." But the excuses/reasons are usu. most people are busy or don't feel they'd make good teachers. There has to be an incentive / prioritization by

For those that don't know C, basically preprocessing (cpp, gcc -E, clang -E) is one of the first steps to occurs before the C compiler is invoked. It's easiest to think of the preprocessor as a templating language that can be use

"Writing your own OS." Eh? Seriously? Maybe if processes were somehow linked to Dogecoin and DOOM. I'd say if there's something that doesn't have a driver, and you need it, that's motivation enough. I remem
