    This is what I use! I recommend it.

    You may be able to find an extension for your browser of choice to do just that! I have one for Firefox but I’m on mobile right now and can’t find it. I can send it later if you’d …

    Veracrypt 1.18 was audited in 2016 by the Open Source Technology Improvement Fund [0]. It is incredibly unlikely that a random NSA backdoor is sitting around on a high profile open…

    This article, while not specifically about the euphemism, details it's origin and use among pilots. https://captain-al-speaking.com/2018/12/06/flying-west/

    Let us say that there is nothing beyond death, does that really mean that life is ultimately pointless? I'd argue that the idea that there is nothing beyond death is what makes lif…

    I feel this. As a first year Computer Science student at university I am currently torn between staying as CS or switching to Computer Engineering. I am really interested in the lo…

    With the old v2 hidden services (16 character long onion addresses) it was possible to recover the onion addresses of any service running on the Tor network while the v2 hidden ser…

    This is incorrect. A Tor hidden service is fundamentally different from port forwarding. If you don't have the hidden services onion address (v3 address) then you physically cannot…

    Comment #30631074

    This is completely incorrect. It is physically impossible to make a connection to a hidden service without the hidden services onion address (I am talking about the current v3 onio…

    I think I cleared up what was left unmentioned here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30620496 I like your initial explanation sp332, I thought it was good so I elaborated on it…

    I think I may be able to help sort out the confusing bits. I know a lot about Tor so if you have any further questions feel free to ask. Sp332's comment is a good explanation so I …

    Thank you for sharing this story! I really enjoyed it!

    The depreciation of v2 addresses is the best course of action in this case. v2 addresses consist of the first 80 bits of the SHA-1 hash of the hidden services 1024 bit public RSA k…

    From my point of view the store model simply is more convenient for consumers and worth the extra price. I know that I stopped pirating games, music and movies when I started using…

    I think that the Twitter thread is less about bias from datasets used to train ML apps and is more in reference to the application of biased ML apps that are supposed to identify c…

    The article is an April fools joke. I let my guard down and it got me as well until I looked at some of the other comments.
