Agreed. I know how to use other tools, and even to work with cryptographic primitives myself. But Keybase makes this stuff really convenient.

There are vending machines that can give you change back. They should just pop some of those machines into the bus entrance.

Here in Austin, Texas Capital Metro does at least have an app that you can pay through. But I do agree that small transactions like that should be easier. Especially when a ride is $1.25. It's plausible that I might have a dollar on ha

Really? So exactly who is deciding where the US goes to war with? And who pulls the strings to control the media to align the people? It seems like that would be quite a conspiracy if it were true...

What's the purpose of running a hidden service if you're clearly identifying yourself? Couldn't Tor users still visit your "clearnet" domain privately (it is just an onion-routing proxy, after all)?

I think they meant: who are the "some people" who "believe they were targeted" And why did they believe that? Without some grounds for accusation it's "sneaky".

IMO the risk here is that onion link lists and search engines can't be trusted. How else are people getting these bogus onions? There's no authority on these "hidden services" and hiding identity is kinda the point of To

Never seen that before. But running a hidden service on Tor is absurdly easy, then you just shove a file server through whatever port Tor is forwarding.

by wybiral 9y ago
What about something like Tor. You can run a hidden service to get an onion address that any Tor client can access. Would that meet the requirements without being a "central" service?

Yeah, the "being online" detail seems like the problem. It would be best if the encrypted data were distributed (something like IPFS) but then why would peers host files that aren't for them.

Bingo. My computer as a kid wasn't even connected to the internet so those help files are the only way I would have learned. That, and breaking the few programs that were included with it.

Same here. I remember drawing sprites with the DATA statement in "SCREEN 13" mode and being able to move those around but never anything this crazy.

I got into math because of programming, oddly enough. As a kid, what I really wanted to do was make games to show off to peers. And to do that I needed some mathematical building blocks first. Programming was a way to explore those things a

In many cases social media accounts are like public records of your contacts. You're already giving your data to those companies and anyone who pays them to access it (depending on the TOS of the platform). It feels different to me tha

I see a place for both of them in my toolbox. Go still makes network code and certain models of concurrency stupidly simple. Rust is more of a replacement for C/C++ for me.

The world isn't static though. Evolution and environmental changes over time will cause people to change how they engage with the changing world. This has happened long before human technology.

Agreed. I'm not trying to say that non-animal versions of those things aren't possible. The point I was trying to make is that replacing the milk sold largely for drinking probably doesn't do much of a dent in the industry de

Plant based milks have been around for ages and they work great to substitute milk that you drink or put on your cereal or something. But they aren't going to replace milk that we use in, say, the production of butter, cheese, casein,
