It makes me wonder how the conspiracy people think this stuff is orchestrated. Does it all get planned out by one council of secret overlords masterminding the flow of public information? How many people are in on the secret? What is their

People love having something to hate and someone to blame for things not being ideal. It sure is a lot easier than acknowledging that the world is incredibly complex and nuanced.

I bet the same dynamic happened with Linux distributions including Python 2 as the default as well. Double whammy.

The Fabric dev(s) seem to be developing a v2 branch with Python 3 support: https://github.com/fabric/fabric/tree/v2 But I'm not sure how far along it is yet.

Ah, forgot about twisted. The new asyncio stuff probably changes a lot for how something like that could be implemented.

Yeah, for the longest time everyone kept using library support as an excuse for sticking with 2. But at this point I think it's the exception that a decent Python library doesn't support 3, rather than the rule. The only one that

My hope is that over time a large enough percentage of people will become annoyed to the point of giving a fighting chance to alternative approaches and platforms. Or a stigma develops around being overly addicted to these platforms and the

Not enough background textures or tables with 3d borders either.

This project is in Go and Argon2 isn't a part of the standard crypto ( https://golang.org/pkg/crypto/#pkg-subdirectories ) or additional crypto ( https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/crypto )

I accidentally clicked on the ad because the content failed to load and the default behavior is to have the ad centered on the page with similar styling as the rest of the page...

by wybiral 9y ago
When the content doesn't load (for whatever reason) the page only shows that ad... Which looks way too much like the actual content for my taste.

Agreed. Pretty much every video on that channel is just as good as this one.

Very cool! I love the simple JSON-over-WebSockets API and would love to see more streaming APIs like this available in the wild.

Sometimes switching between Go and C is weird (because of the type order or the semicolons) but I've never had any trouble switching between Go and Python. Go has an awesome ecosystem for writing servers and web applications but it&#x2

That does seem more secure compared to the way people often talk about onion link lists and search engines. But the blockchain can still be flooded with fraudulent onions and at some point you're still putting all of your trust into a

I care more about security and privacy than anonymity. IPFS or Keybase seem like better approaches towards those goals. And, yes, Tor makes sense if you need to hide your IP address. But beyond that I don't see much further use.

by wybiral 9y ago
But now you have to trust that community directory not to give you the wrong onions...
684.
by wybiral 9y ago
I see this as a valid point. You don't need Tor for that, any local app could proxy a connection that way. But, yes, it is a useful side effect of Tor.

And you might be obtaining a fake link from one of my phishing schemes that mimic the services you thought you were visiting...

Reputation is a typical force in society. Businesses might want to do malicious things but the fear of destroying their identity helps to keep them in line. Personally I trust something more when someone puts their reputation on the line

That's a valid point. Thanks for bringing that up. So now I have a private channel to that address and I don't have to worry about the exit nodes (unlike when I use Tor for clearnet sites). But now how do I know that I can trust t

You still have to get a correct onion address from a reputable source otherwise how do you know that you're going to the right onion and not a malicious mirror or something? So somehow there is a chain of trust, not too unlike the trad

I have mixed feelings about Tor. As a proxy to hide your IP address it makes perfect sense to me. But what's the end result of hidden services? I want to be anonymous sometimes but I can't think of a time when I want the host of a

As for the crypto, am I correct in seeing that it uses PBKDF2 to derive an AES key from their password. And then it uses SJCL's encrypt/decrypt methods?
