The first thing I thought about is a man in the middle attack with homoglyphs. I don't know if I'm paranoid, but look at this > keybase id maria pgp: C4B3 15B4 7154 5281 5100 1C58 C2A5 977B 0022 github:

Nice work, your page is really fast. I'll keep an eye on it.

Why "no extradition"? Would he risk anything penal? If bitcoins are not money he may risk just a fine.

It's not like he can say "sorry, but it wasn't me. Still friends?". The risks are probably the same, so it's better to be hated AND a thief :-P

Linux is GPL and that didn't stop anyone from using it. I don't understand your point, may you explain it?

Years passed and we discovered a bunch of things. Everyone agree that Bash syntax could be better, and C is not perfect either (that's why new languages like Rust are being developed). We didn't reach perfection a couple decades a

"pkgfile jpeg" || echo looks like a good name. Maybe not. (I don't have pkgfile but I think the above command would echo the string). I do understand that naming a program is every day harder, but mbox is a really famous form

Desktop e-mail clients have more features than the web interface. Also, you get to keep a copy of your e-mails, so if Google removes your account (it may happen) you don't loose anything.

Opposite to Lavabit, Mozilla can't decrypt your data, so I can't see this happening, unless they change the open source client code without anyone noticing.

Mozilla has been sponsored by Google since long ago, but they always thought about people first. In fact, if you don't trust them you can run your own sync server in whatever country you like.

To not test a website on Firefox before launch isn't a bit extreme? (text input invisible is pretty bad)

I wouln't say "just". It solves an important problem, the fact that the site you are logging in could have a javascript keylogger to read the password you are going to enter.

Your function is_digit_char(s) is peculiar. From the name I would expect it to return a boolean, instead it returns a number or None. To write it like that and have a problem with the falseness of 0 it means that you use it in a way to both

In this particular case, you want to write name is None since None is a unique distinct value edit: didn't notice at first that you wrote an assignment, not a comparison

Last day of work before moving to the new job: I do some cleanup and rm -fr my home directory. Seconds passed. Minutes passed. I start to think about how can it take so long. I list the content of my home directory trying to understand whic

Yes, I say that it's more likely to find an unicorn somewhere on Earth (an undiscovered species) than to get that toss sequence. We say that an event is impossible for _way_ less probabilities (I could be hit by a cosmic radiation and

I was thinking about not forking processes to read a file, not to avoid the use of php, if you're comfortable with that. What ideas do you have about reading the stats? You'll have to use a server side language anyway (or do you p

Nice interface, but it's a bit strange to me that it uses shell exec for every kind of measure. e.g. # uptime.php <?php echo (int) (shell_exec('cat /proc/uptime')/(60*60));

The probability to get 9999 heads and 1 tail is so small that you have more chance of finding an unicorn in a forest. I'd toss that coin :-P

It's a legitimate request, and it shouldn't be even necessary to ask for it, for any project that accept donations or publicly funded. It's annoying, but it's important.

Your memory is right. Without -no-remote you would end up spawning another windows from the currently running firefox. Without -ProfileManager you can't choose a different profile. It's also a good idea to use different themes per

Once an extension can modify the DOM (and most extensions need it) you loose any hope of permissions. From injecting javascript to sending data modifying an img[src], there's no way to protect your privacy. I don't think that perm

It's not just a DOM change problem. What if an extension change owner and start sending pairs (domain/user's credentials) to someone else? What if one buy an extension to get bank sites accesses?

To run a new, separated Firefox with a (possibly) different profile firefox -no-remote -ProfileManager It's always handy to have a "vanilla" profile, to compare how much the extensions tuned down the browser or try t
