Is there a reason why this still relies on a server? I would have thought that the better option would it to be completely P2P, without any servers whatsoever.

I think that the issue that a lot of BSD people have with systemd is the development model and consolidation of projects around systemd only APIs which are difficult to integrate into non-Linux platforms. That combined with the systemd deve

So they support computers that have a Z80 in them, does that mean that a C128 port is possible in the future?

I believe that the keys would just be taken by the machine, that way you'd be able to verify the vote was placed without the risk of revealing the identity of the voter attached to that card.

You could give out randomised voting smartcards with an embedded private key at every polling station, which would preserve the anonymity.

So how does this compare to Gilgamesh, which appears to be pretty much exactly the same thing? https://github.com/n8fr8/gilgamesh

They should have prevented special characters from being entered at the server level. Not a lot you can do with just the latin alphabet, numerals and a space.

So what does F.lux do differently to the FOSS solution Redshift? https://github.com/jonls/redshift

AROS already exists pretty much for this reason.

So what sort of performance improvements have been made? Is Mach now in the same bracket as other, newer microkernels?

Great to see this project is still alive. I know this probably has already been asked, but when can we expect the Commodore 64/128 versions?

What's the difference between Nix and Guix anyway, and which is 'better'?

The biggest limiting factor at the moment with Hurd is their choice for the base microkernel, currently Mach which hasn't had substantial updates for years. While Hurd improves its userspace support, the should also revisit the idea of

What if.... there was an effort to replace the Mach kernel with Minix3? Or if Debian decided to do a Debian GNU/Minux3 release?

Ah okay then, I might have to pester him to see if a port to the C128 is possible. I know that the Z80 in that only runs at 2mhz but it would be an interesting experiment.

Do you have any links with related information to this?

Symbos is still being developed for? I thought that stopped years ago. Great to see it still around. Any chance of getting the source opened in the near future?

Well it's an effort, and several popular libraries are releasing bindings for their products using Rust. And for two large companies to be working on something as large as Servo, even before the language went 1.0, there must be somethi

Mozilla and Samsung are building the Servo rendering engine, based on Rust.

Also Tox over Tor needs to use Exit nodes to access the bootstrap servers, as there currently isn't any native support for hidden service address resolution.

Tbh I2P would be a more suitable platform to build a messenger similar platform to Ricochet, in fact there was an effort to get exactly that up and running called Invisible.im, but that later merged with Ricochet to avoid duplication. But a

Would it be possible to do this ( https://github.com/notsecure/uTox/issues/203 ) in Ricochet though? They seem to be using more standard libraries than Tox.

As a workaround you could probably add their Freya repositories and perform an apt-get upgrade. Whether or not it would work flawlessly is another question altogether, I would do an image backup of the drive just in case it goes pear shaped

What about unstable upstream packages? Is there a way to stop an update from potentially breaking your system?

In Australia you can't actually have a valid contract if one party has to give up their rights under consumer law or if it can be proved that either party didn't act in good faith, or if either party was given false pretences as t

Have you implemented support for Real Time Media Flow Protocol? If so, is it possible to use UDP over shumway?

So how does this differ to Retroshare or Ricochet?

Yeah I thought it was going to be a way to port NodeJS apps to run natively on FirefoxOS... Still want something like that though.
