I also wanted to point out that it would be easy to use something like twisted to write an IRC or XMPP gateway to a specific matrix server. Then you can utilize a common IRC or XMPP client (though message ordering might be a major issue in

This is absolutely the type of system I've been hoping for for quite a while. I even started drafting up a spec to build it. I wanted a federated, http based message passing pub/sub type system with device synchronization - and (h

If you can find an Entourage Edge 10" on ebay or somewhere, you would probably be set. I had the pocket edge version. These were very solid android dual-screen tablets - an e-ink and lcd display. The e-ink was also a digitizer, so you

I used to heavily use http://cooltext.com/ to generate logos over 10 years ago, and amazingly it's still there. The site is a web interface to GIMP (or at least was). It basically converts text into any typeface/e

Not OP, but I too loose sunglasses all the time. I'm pretty sure those are mine. Now as soon as I figure out what Juliets are and where "Yosemite backcountry" is, I'll prove it to you. Actually, I've been able to ha

You do have a good point there. It could work for home/apartment building attacks. I'm not sure how many people know about the WPS button most routers have now, but I've got several people using it. It's rather slick wh

The reason I don't think this would work is because no one knows their wifi password.

The code is never trasnmitted. The data is encrypted with the code and only the code on the other side can be used to decrypt it. Most brute-force systems work by capturing packets to hard drive and then attempting to decrypt them offline.

I don't even know of a client that implements this, but SSFP DNS records are the way to do this. http://www.openssh.com/txt/rfc4255.txt A security conscious client can manually verify a host's SSHFP with a d

This reminds me a lot of when Guido gets job offers for python. https://plus.google.com/115212051037621986145/posts/R8jEVrob...

I've seen this concept before and thought it might be useful in my organization. The general opinion I got back was that people hate email, and the daily digest would be pretty well ignored. Once I was reminded of this, I fully agreed.

Seems like a great way of injecting poison into an unopened bottle of wine. I'll have to look into this for my next job.

Let's keep it with software. The bridge metaphor is more applicable to a service offering where you maintain infrastructure and adjust pricing based on the cost of maintaining it. In software, the license is what you sell. I don't

I too would love to see a plausible deniability like Truecrypt provided. Entering a passcode unlocks the phone, but only files stored under that passcode is visible. There is no way to tell how many hidden volumes there are. This does fall

Here's the real secret: they'll make whatever you order. Want your Wendys fries placed in a potato boat with cheese sauce poured over them? Just ask. New employees may be confused or not sure how to ring it up, but most will know

I will say that Wendys does not put burgers in any sort of holding pan. I know Burger King used to, not sure if they do any more. I've kept an eye on McDonalds and I'm pretty sure it all comes straight from the grill. But definite

You actually can't PXE boot the RPi. At best, someone might get a port of U-Boot working with the RPi and that would be what's on the SD card. I was hoping to test out bare-metal provisioning systems using RPi's but no love t

Google Wave was actually inspired by EtherPad and Google ended up purchasing AppJet so that they could have the EtherPad engineers work on Wave.

Well XMPP is still an exciting protocol - you can pretty much transport anything over it, with federation built in automatically. Basically, if you were using XMPP on anyone's server (even one you stood up) you could talk to any other

Their main goal is to get these laptops into the hands of children that can't afford them. They are making the script to do this available for free along with a tutorial. A "savvy developer" could pick the laptop up at Best B

This software looks great. I've actually looked at this before, but for a different reason. This is a space sorely lacking in options. My amateur radio club has no coherent roster. We've got a couple people volunteering time to ta

Author didn't mention it, but in the hub documents they instruct you to `alias git=hub`. So when author is running git, he's really running hub.

I like that. But what I would like to see would not be a total hours timer, but so much time in a given period. This should be set by developer per game. I'm thinking of the scenario mentioned in the article where the owner tried it on

For small/closed groups, the popular ones are Hipchat and Flowdock. Flowdock gets a lot of great reviews because of how it organizes and threads conversations. Another good one that I've actually used is Slack ( https://
