   I think for gpg and encrypted communications to take off, it has to come in the form of an easy to use app combined with a service offering, similar to how TextSecure/Signal works. Though it should use GPG and have a variant for Androi

   I tested this out. I don't know anyone else to try with, so here is my contact card: https://goo.gl/photos/yhVvYGfy9Vepcp1h9 I found one other person on G+ and imported their card. I saw it said "adding to tr

   When things first started, a root server might have actually been something sitting under Jon Postel's desk, or in the back room of a University. But these days, root "servers" are geographically load balanced clusters of mac

   I couldn't find it anywhere on their site, but when I googled, I found their FAQ page. Apparently the sensor is really just a pre-configured ip camera. Per their faq page, you could even use your own ip camera, or send them video files

   This is great. For the last several years, I have had a ChromeBox connected to my tv. If lets me play amazon video, netflix, regular hulu (non-plus), nickelodeon, and just about anything out there that doesn't require silverlight. In a

   I spent 7 years working 2.5 hours away from home, spending half of every week at work or in an apartment near work. I went to lunch quite often with coworkers, or we would go for a few drinks after work. I didn't realize it, but my cir

   I don't think you can do this with Global Capacity directly, but if the bill goes to a collection agency, it becomes easier. You just dispute the debt. Lots of pages online show how to do this and provide sample letters. You dispute th

    For my headless Pis, I attach a BT TTL serial port to the rx/tx pins. They run about $15 or less. This lets me pair to the serial port from my laptop, watch it boot the kernel, login and do whatever cli commands I need. I can also use

    In addition to my other comment, it's always ironic seeing ham radio mentioned in an encryption thread. Are communications must not be encrypted or sent in a way with the goal of obscuring the meaning. I've been looking at truly p

    This is a good idea, we have Field day, SET exercises, and weekly nets. There are always contests where hams rack up points by making contacts. We have contests that are specific days (like field day), and standing awards liked "Worked

    The web server is only active if you run the command fish_config. When you run this command, if finds the next available port, starting at localhost:8000 and opens a web browser pointing to that port. Once in the web interface, you can clic

    If you took this a step further and set up a debian repo, then you could have your clients use that debian repo. I'm looking to do something pretty similiar, but RPMs. I found rpmvenv that seems to work in the same fashion. https:&#x2

    I read this and this that it's a lot closer to what RSS intends to solve, especially the read-only streams. Two-way streams is mainly providing a method to post back into that feed. It's a little more real time (rss feeds are typi

    Most places utilize cubicles. The open floor plan eliminates those cubicle walls and re-arranges the desks to face each other (or replacing several desks with larger conference tables).

    I agree about the mechanical keyboard and large screen. But I do use a laptop. It sits on my desk docked in (usb and thunderbolt docks are awesome - 1 cable). Then, I can take it with me.

    After looking at this for my home state - while thinking about the area I live in, I decided that it's more fair to say that this applies to large, populated cities. It'd be more interesting and relevant to do a rent breakdown by

    I also wanted to come in here and promote matrix. You can use it internally, or you can federate it. It takes a lot of concepts from XMPP, and is essentially json over http with an "eventually consistent" synchronization between c

    The 140 character limit isn't just an arbitrary number to see how creative people can be within it. Many people forget or never knew that twitter started out with its 140 character limit because of SMS limitations. SMS limits messages

    I haven't tried hackpad, but if hackpad can (now) be described as an open-source Trello, that would be great. That opens up the option for self hosting, even if it's on a VM like a Digital Ocean droplet.

    The question is a bit open-ended. Basically, doing things like requiring complex passwords or 2FA prevents user accounts from being hacked. It does nothing for remote exploits in your application (like slack had recently). So for your end-u

    If you're looking at self-hosting, check out Phabricator. I've tried GitLab several times before, and maybe it's improved, but I was blown away by phabricator's features. The install could use a bit of work, and setting

    I use vagrant + virtualbox myself and spin up development environments on the fly. It really is "the way to go". Work actually provides vmware fusion (and a license for vagrant), which also works pretty well. Fusion offers more ne
