Wait, what? What happened? :( I really liked that service.

Sure, but, meh. A few dozen RAW picture files take more space. Storage is cheap nowadays and KDE applications generally are of such high quality that it's definitely worth it. Othe…

Wuala is using it, too.

There's Antergos for this.

It's indeed strange and definitely against the spirit. There's an excellent open source project which does this and much more: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kde…

Fedora is the only real alternative if you want more stability.

You don't even need NixOS for that. Just use Ansible or Puppet to manage your Arch Linux configuration.

RapidSSL does it too.

The reason all of those incompatible chat protocols pop up is that all of the popular federated protocols lack features like inline image transfer, a usable backlog, persistence, l…

Wow, this is pretty cool. Reminds me of the performance optimizations Facebook has done with Mercurial: https://code.facebook.com/posts/218678814984400/scaling-merc... Mercurial wa…

The estimates may be off, but the raw data it reports (context switches, wakeups etc.) is accurate.

> What if your cronjob doesn't fire? What if LEs script has a bug and you're not up to date? That's why I renew them a week in advance. I set up Nagios checks which alert me when a…

Does it support hardening flags by now? (ASLR etc.)

Other protocols are probably just as broken, we just haven't found the vulnerabilities yet. Few protocols (if any) get as much scrutiny as SSL/TLS.

The NIST curves also have constants which may or may not be manipulated. Bruce Schneier recommends against using them.

Zulip ( https://zulip.org/ ), a recently open-sourced Slack alternative, has a clever solution for this. They have a light-weight threading model which ensure that discussions stay…

Google Hangouts is a great alternative. It only needs a browser, too.

Your project reminds me of 0install.

> WP has the ability to use (S)FTP to update the files rather than direct file access. Well that doesn't help at all with security.

This is exactly what any company using Debian in production does.

> It's just in the same bag as Gentoo regarding release process. There's a big difference, though - Arch Linux has no concept of partial upgrades. You have to update, or things bre…
