In reality noise cancelling headphones don't "just reverse the wave", since that's often not fast or accurate enough (too noisy). Instead it's more like: mic -> fft -> secret suace analysis and filtering ->

Since some projects use their github README as a landing page and the rise of termux, yeah I think it is important.

It would depend on what services you'd like to run though. A decent chunk of apps may need proot to run in pure termux and others for you to root your device. Mobile (proper) Linux support for devices is still not thst great even if ar

I guess it depends on what you mean by shoot themselves in the foot. There are major differences in philosophy and bar the "superficial" differences these are quite different projects. For one nix simply doesn't have a projec

This post is a pretty good example, for I don't know of any nix projects that are attempting to work on the bootstrapping problem. Guix pack[0] solves a parallel issue of distributing your nicely dependancy managed ecosystem whereas ni

I'm really glad that guix has been working on this area. Apart from using scheme this is one of the core areas that really distinguish them from nix. Just compare the difficulty of trying to use the third party nix-bundle to produce a

Firstly there's a difference between impartial third parties and third parties which a record of being impartial. Secondly I wouldn't endorse using OpenBazaar in its current state. The ideas and concepts are there but the user ex

This is not always strictly true, with projects like OpenBazaar the risks can be transfered to an explicit third party with a proven record of being impartial.

I haven't followed them too closely for a while but wasn't the cryptocurrency misstep an answer to critics about the safety of keybase as keeper of the database[0]? Now that I'm looking it although their docs don't menti

I've not made myself very clear in the comment, but git and fossil scm are simply examples that delegate issues of trust to PGP's web of trust. Hardware keys are more secure, but from my understanding still stuffer from the same i

I've seen similar projects that use S/MIME for identity management, but as seen from the README of the tool[0] the benefits of PGP's web of trust can be seen in unstructured environments. Online identities are perhaps the mos

I now see how my original wording is confusing. I'm using git not as the specific case here (albeit interesting) but as an example. From my understanding keybase attempts to solve some of the more questions in your first link, simply &

That sounds really interesting, would you be willing to share a link to the message board so I can see what your account creation process looks like? The other most common place I've seen PGP used as an account identifier are in darkne

I'm not endorsing keybase, in fact I have much of the same criticisms as you probably do. The fact is unlike many PGP replacements most don't attempt to solve similar ideas as the "web of trust". For those that I know do

Although I agree with your point, both the article and your comment suffer from different use cases + threat models. I'd agree that there are no real alternatives to (regular) mail and email where longer form asynchronous communication

Having an alternative implementation to GnuPG is a pretty important. Although many would argue against the use of PGP encryption for many use cases such as email, there are other use cases where PGP's ideas have no replacement. For a s

I'm curious if you've ever played with powershell or jq/jc/jsonifying *sh and how this compares? I had a period when I was mainly on windows where I quite enjoyed powershell and now that I'm back on linux I moved to

Unfortunately I think plan9 only remains this way by keeping the people who use it small, being elitist and somewhat unwelcoming[0]. That's not to say I wouldn't also recommend spending a weekend messing around. I was recently hav
