This is the answer I was hoping for. I know of at least one solution for your ISP concerns. I think it will work very nicely. ISP's can obviously block anything they want to block.…

As someone else said, why are there passwords in the logs? If these were submitted via POST (multipart), they would not be visible, right? Then there's the issue of permissions. Th…

Yeah, but who said anything about writing drivers? Very few people can do that. How about just really basic stuff, like how to not have ads for Amazon popping up when there is no n…

Do you think the possibility of "always on" computers at home (e.g., running low power ARM CPU's) is a real one? Would this change the way we think about "reliability"? (Of course …

This makes it easier for me to understand your comments on P2P. Thanks for filling me in. I might have guessed (incorrectly) that the reason you would suggest the cloud over home i…

Yes, I'll admit I did jump from HTTPS to P2P. Although, I'm assuming that Tent is capitalizing on the term "decentralized" as in P2P. I do believe in the idea of using the cloud an…

What is "hosting"? If you and I have a peer-to-peer connection and I queue up some content for you and possibly others who are on our private network, and you choose to retrieve it…

How do users behind NAT run their own tent servers? If they can manage to run their own HTTPS servers from behind NAT, if they have those skills (not to mention a reachable IP), th…

"focus on... not being found to be wrong" Why is that? Is there really even a "right" or wrong" in this process? Isn't it more of a matter of being able to support your choice of d…

The thing with LFS is that it would cause Linux users to learn. Not necessarily a bad thing. And I would predict it could lower their tolerance for the lots of the garbage that man…

The saddest part is this probably offended some people. For the troubled Ubuntu user who still has a sense of humor and an ounce of common sense, I recommend Linux From Scratch. Ti…

It's great to see Nature, itself a high-priced journal, running this story. arXiv.org really makes downloading papers a breeze. If only it were so easy in other discliplines. It's …

Why do you need to hotlink? What is one more click? Photo No. Photo Yes.

"You can scrape anything you like off the internet and do as you please... but you can't create a business out of it." I tried to tell this to the Google guys in the 1990's but the…

If you wanted your personally identifiable data protected from public access (being cached by search engines), then presumably you would not submit it to a web site that is open to…

I would expect that many users would feel this way. I can guess why. But could you tell us specifically? Assume for the sake of the question that whereever the data may appear on t…

I fail to see a qualitative difference between "mobile", "laptop", "desktop" or "stovetop". Those are just form factors. They are all computers. We can put a computer inside almost…

"most of the complexity burden of the web is purely gratuitous" To think that some people are actualy getting paid to make submitting and retrieving data using web overly complicat…

If Craigslist can assert copyright protection over classified ads and can make people grant exclusive licenses to the ads they submit, then why didn't newspapers do this before the…
