   Do we have anyone who works at ICQ here? This post gave me the idea to log back in to my old account from 2002'ish but it says it is "compromised" and won't let me do anything.

   I remember seeing a comic[1] about this and thinking it's funny, eerie seeing it for real and in action. [1] http://i.imgur.com/ctvpPyu.png

   That's awesome, not sure if this was around last time I tried but it is still hard to find, thanks! :)

   +1 for IPFS Hosting static blogs is really easy on IPFS (and if you absolutely can't live without comments: use disqus) but the URL's are cryptic and you either need a public IPFS gateway to access the site - which could get DDoS&

   Fascinating, that's the complete zone for the whole country? And it's run on 5 servers? (only 5 different IPs mentioned as far as I can tell)

   I managed to do that one time but on a much smaller scale (home server). Forgot about my network mounts, rm -Rf, noticed that it was taking longer than expected to delete just a few dirs... "oh crap." :) Luckily I run zfs with zfs

    I've done this a few times for fun, simply search YouTube for a "game code generator" or something like that, take your pick, download their magic "tool" from the link in the video description and get disassembling

    That's just insulting, it's making me want to remove systemd and use something else. As this statement might express: I'm not a systemd power-user, I just want my stuff to run as I'd expect it.

    That's interesting to hear. The Vive has some unique features that make it sound really cool too. What about screen-door effect? Texts in EliteDangerous weren't readable at all. I'm planning on getting a gtx 1070 once they ar

    I had the DK2 and pretty much the same thing happened, boxed and shelved after a week, after I tried all the best demos - although for a different reason: the eye-strain and nausea was too much to bear for me. I couldn't really explain

    This is insanely awesome. Something that comes to my mind is the use of this for dubbing movies and TV series; I'm very sensitive about correctly syncing what's being said to what we see, to the point where I only watch movies in

    I hate begging but I've been in the keybase queue for at least a year and would like to finally see what it's all about. I'd appreciate it a ton if someone could shoot me an invite: [removed] Thank you very much ashishchaudha

    Why is SDES the default and ZRTP disabled/unavailable in the windows client? I'm no expert but SDES seems like a bad choice[1] from what I can gather in 5 minutes with google. [1] http://zfone.com/faq.html#SDES

    Run a simulated OpenRelay https://github.com/schumann2k/SpamTrap but instead of dropping all mail, redirect it to your target account. Might take a few days to weeks to get started though.

    I think news articles shouldn't mention the person or group who claims responsibility for a DDoS, it's just free publicity for the perpetrators and encourages copycat crimes. "I hacked X and got on the news!"
