   Thanks again, I am the OP, and the study referenced by Krugman clearly supports my mish-mash of warmed-over Marxist invective, so it's much appreciated.

   Agreed! In fact, since many wrong things have been posted to HN, only people who don't post on HN should be permitted to post to HN. Except when they have been proven wrong too!

   Can we please keep comments like this off of HN? Know-nothings have been proven wrong so many times and the comment neither makes a logical argument, nor provides anything of value.

   I am trying. Can you summarize what you are saying?

   In case anybody is still reading this thread, here is an ugly diagram of Thimbl's network topology: https://docs.google.com/drawings/edit?id=182y8FZDPvY1R-SQnYC...

    He Semiapies, I'm really not sure why you think a project can't start with a website and a slideshow to try to explain what it is, or wether you are suggesting that we should only ever put anything on our website when we are done. Or what.

    You can have whatever opinion you want, my opinion is that is curious to post opinions on things you think are not worth talking about. If you don't get that, well, we have different opinions then. I meant 'feeds' not fees. sorry. we didn't

    which part? in order to be followed by thimbl, all you need is ssh and xinetd/finger running. That's it. If you want to clone the thimbl http to finger&ssh gateway, the current implementation uses twisted / mammatus. If you want to run

    will be through an http to finger+ssh gateway initially, but ssh+finger directly in the browser is the longer term goal. cat to your .plan wont work, thimbl stores json in the .plan, however we will add support for cat > .project, but n

    Yeah, we have to get there before we get there. Get it?

    I'm pretty clear on how ssh works. We can certainly add support keys as well, once we get the initial release out ;)

    Yes, all that there is at this stage is a slide show. (all projects start somewhere). More will come soon very soon (mammatus is already finished and release, the ui is getting there) There is no plea for community help (though of course he

    You don't need too, since if you like you can run the front end on your own servers as well. (but you don't have too, if you don't want)

    Excatly! There are many ways to set up secure ssh access. Which is why a solid, know protocol like ssh is the right one to use for remote login, because it provides many options and all sysops can configure access for their own users as the

    That would give us access to the users account at any time. It seems requiring their password be sent with every request is more secure (over https, of course)

    you can host a thimbl.net clone our your own server. There is no site yet, the system is not yet released. The login will certainly be ssl protected.

    by tricknik 16y ago

    Is there a more secure way that a non-data-retaining service can connect with your server so a user can update there .plan file than sftp?
22. 52.▲
    by tricknik 16y ago

    thimbl.net store no user data. Not even a key. Nothing.

    by tricknik 16y ago

    Understanding finger and ssh will not be required to use thimbl, only to set up thimbl service for your users, which we imagine will be the same people who set up the email and web for there domain: the sysops. Wether the sysops microblog o

    btw, the reason we don't use public key is simple: thimble.net stores no user data. none.

    All this is in early stages. We will have a proper "thimbl is comming page" soon! (and git repos)

    by tricknik 16y ago

    But if we wrote a Thimbl user information update server and asked you to run that on your own server, you would do that and consider our service as secure as sshd? Really? Our position is that you give as a standard remote login interface,

    by tricknik 16y ago

    Hi everyone, thanks for the interest, Thimbl is not ready for public release, we are still working on it, so you'll have to patient. Regading why we use SSH: Because it is already available on your servers and is a standard, thus there is n

    Well, not much that can be done about caching proxies. Regarding DNS, have you been able to look at whether the IP's from failed requests show up on the new IP shortly after? I.E perhaps browser-pinning from open sessions?

    Thanks, I'll look into this more. In the case of Mammatus response, the TTL would already be expired, so the only problem would be if it pinned for longer and didn't request again on failure.
