Why is that? I think there's nothing wrong with mentioning the EFF without linking to their donations page.

Why do you support private companies policing the internet? I'd rather be given the chance to decide what's good or bad for me by myself, instead of having someone else doing this proactively. A warning would be welcomed, but noth

It doesn't match some balkanic or eastern european words. Some of us don't appreciate tracking links, please get rid of tracking so we don't have to manually edit the urls.

Saw a post on stackoverflow the other day where the OP justified in comments that their client had 7% IE7 users. Browsers are getting upgraded in general, but you still get government-x and company-y asking for IE7 support.

In your website's example, you have bcrypt(password, salt+pepper) Observe the difference between that and the rehash you just posted bcrypt(bcrypt(password, salt), pepper)

I generally disagree with hardcoded salts, you should assume everything is compromised in a successful attack. But I'm actually commenting here because I don't see how you can retroactively apply the second salt to a hashed string

By reading the title, I actually thought they fixed the biggest annoyance, the endless-and-unfixable wifi connect-connecting-saved loop. But no, 5 years after I first saw this error, it still occurs with the newer versions.

I guess you wouldn't mind losing your warranty on a cat litter machine, but you definitely would suffer losing your warranty on a €20000 car. Although you currently don't have an alternative for that car's DRM, I'm sure
