Cookie-based sessions have many, very reasonable, use cases. You are also clearly neglecting the fact that proper session cookies are _always_ cryptographically signed and cannot be tampered with, if properly implemented.

Well, up until now, it's only been the centers of power who have been breaking the law (not to mention the constitution), covering up, lying, and committing perjury - so yeah, they are the ones who journalists should be focusing on. Bu

Funny anecdote: every time I cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail the value drops. It slowly rises when the usual entropy sources are used (mouse/keyboard/IO). Can anyone explain the consistent value

As Matt Damon was talking about "civil liberties vs. security" it resonated with essentially every second sentence DIRNSA was saying at his public appearance at BlackHat. This is a false dichotomy, and definitely not about some

Well, that is because there's no guaranteed success in any course of action, save for becoming change, and believing that that action alone is a small, but important, part in the network effect. I understand HN isn't exactly the

That 'something unhealthy' is called privilege, and most people assume that it will protect them from government atrocities. Little do they know that privilege is given at the behest of the oppressor, and can be revoked instantane

In this battle, there is no quick win, no proverbial low-hanging fruit. Never forget that by changing your actions, and your awareness, you are influencing other to do the same.

Sounds like your problem is not with the 3.8+ kernel but with your choice of distributions that do not support it properly.

Bear with me on this one - All the code is already public on Github, so everyone can see these gaping security holes, right? What if some honest, global actor could mass-commit a fix for all these repos in one fell swoop? For example, repla
