If you're storing individually hashed characters: a: 0CC175B9C0F1B6A831C399E269772661 b: 92EB5FFEE6AE2FEC3AD71C777531578F c: 4A8A08F09D37B73795649038408B5F33 etc. then this is basically the same as storing the plaintext characters beca

Fun story, my once CC provider (the now defunct "Egg") for a period responded with three A records for their main site (egg.com or something). This is fine, except one of these A records was a 192.168.x.x address so their site did

2002 was handwavy. I ultimately moved to Ruby as my primary language (I'm now 50/50 Ruby/Go). FWIW I tried Python, I just didn't like it. I've programmed a lot of languages and most I'm fine with, I just didn&#

A syntactically cleaned up Perl that didn't feel like the object system had been bolted on afterwards would have been what I wanted in Perl 6. That, and it being released in 2002. I've long since moved on though.

Very first gut impression is you might be asking for money from people who don't really have any to spend. Freelancing is a linear profit model and so margins, and costs, matter. I suspect people only at the stage of thinking of becomi

I wonder if they're doing anything to take into account tiny modifications causing a completely different hash, or if they are relying on users not knowing that changing an image would get around a naieve hashing strategy.

I'm a bit confused by why ZFS shouldn't be used on Linux. It's just software and can be ported? In terms of using FreeBSD, I generally work in small (~6 person) sysadmin teams running hundreds of servers. There's already

Apparently (according to one YouTube channel I watch) the $/video figure is rather misleading as it doesn't take into account people's monthly spend caps. So while CGPGrey might be making $20k/video for the first video,
