This is a great idea, but so often it’s just one of multiple locations where app settings are located.

The same thing happened to me, but I am thinking of having another go and just discouraging the use of E2EE. (The community I’m thinking of is currently on Slack, so there would be no marginal loss of privacy.) Have you considered that, or

This doesn’t apply to regulated professions with their own code of ethics. Maybe software development ought to become one.

Plenty of people create rats nests using frameworks, too. Would forcing the “most senior but not the smartest” person to use a framework they don’t like really have fixed your problems?

Could you provide a little more detail? I’ve recently disabled user namespacing on an app I’ve deployed because I couldn’t figure out how to create an encrypted volume from within the container [1]. I think I understand the security implica

I’ve recently discovered systemd-nspawn and machined. It’s not a drop-in replacement for Docker, but I much prefer it for my purposes because you don’t need to install anything on a systemd-based Linux distribution and it doesn’t work so ha

Have a look at ‘Enrolling a new client’ in the white paper linked in the parent comment. The secret key is transmitted to the new device.

I’m using an Atreus at the moment and while I enjoyed carrying it around when I was learning the layout, once the novelty wore off it got really old having to pack up the keyboard every day. I’ve switched back to a spare regular keyboard at

I’m an unhappy vim Colemak user. I remapped HJKL to NEIO, which implied some other changes (particularly needing to find new keys for N and I), and now I never know what keys to press because I can’t keep track of whether I’m using a local

I’ve always assumed that ergonomic beds and keyboards were equal parts snake oil, once you get past the obviously terrible bargain basement stuff. Do you think there’s a meaningful difference?
464.
by sjy 7y ago
Yep. I got pretty into keyboards this year and ended up spending over $500 and probably 50 hours on research, key switches, key caps, soldering, firmware programming, and learning Colemak and ortholinear layouts. I enjoyed the process, but

Absolutely. The people who get caught doing this stuff generally haven’t done much to conceal their identity and get caught with evidence of other unreported offences on their computers. It’s horrifying to think about what the sophisticated

The dialogues in the article included people sending dick pics to a person they thought was an 11-year-old child. I’m sure that the lack of a ‘real’ victim is a problem in some countries, but this kind of offending is regularly prosecuted i

Plenty of people have been prosecuted for conspiracies that, unbeknown to the conspirators, could not possibly have succeeded. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1468-2230....

If the authorities have cooperation agreements with the other country then often they’ll work together. In Australia the police catch a lot of paedophiles using information supplied by the FBI.

ING Australia [1] only supports a four-digit PIN. Seems to work fine for them; I haven't heard of anyone losing money as a result. [1]: https://www.ing.com.au/securebanking/

I think it's possible to use your FDE key to decrypt the filesystem, autologin to the desktop, unlock GNOME Keyring or a similar keychain application, and use that as a GPG and SSH agent to further encrypt your passwords using pass [1]

Catching the less competent people isn’t a bad thing, though. Someone who is competent enough to commit crimes and get away with it is also competent enough to get a well-paid job and choose to live a pro-social life, without the risk of on

Why would a child sign up for an E2E app where it’s easier for paedophiles to anonymously groom them? Sophisticated organised criminals don’t use Facebook Messenger, but this article isn’t about them.

That’s an interesting example. Some countries have laws that protect the sanctity of the confessional, but I think police in most countries could install a bug in there with an appropriate warrant (which hopefully wouldn’t be lightly issued

Have the secret backdoor keys that allow developers to remotely update the software on every Windows, iOS or Android device ever been leaked?

Of course you can. “Shall not be infringed” would never be interpreted as overriding the explicit amendment procedure in Article V. Most countries have found easy solutions to the paradox of laws that attempt to restrict their own amendment
