    In case nobody has pointed it out yet. By default, with Ubuntu's dnscrypt-proxy package - the resolver is "cisco". That's right, you're encrypting your DNS traffic just so Cisco ca…

    I was really hopeful for a ChromeOS competitor. Guess I'll have to wait. Maybe Ubuntu's mobile OS?

    What's unclear is how the BeagleBone Black Wireless compares to the SeeedStudio BeagleBone Green Wireless: https://beagleboard.org/blog/2016-07-07-seeedstudio-beaglebo... It looks …

    Amusing to note that a site hosting a detailed article on the "cypherpunk revolution" doesn't support https.

    Ever since I realized there will be a persistent log of my browsing history maintained by one or more government agencies, I have mentally-marked http as risky. I cannot wait for s…

    Considering the functionality that wasn't reviewed, I don't think it should be advertised as "A". It might be "A" for the expected permissions, but if there's extra permissions whi…

    This is a wonderful example of NSA meddling. With one hand, Microsoft gives everyone out-of-box encryption, which it can use to demonstrate how well it's protecting consumers. With…

    There's a disconnect between the people who develop policy, and those who enact it. One group is elected, the other is not.

    So subtlety and obfuscation to make good ideas sound bad (serpent), and bad ideas attractive (in the interest of performance and practicality). So when any standards body recommend…

    I've been looking into ocaml, and was wondering what to do once my programs grow beyond a single file. Unfortunately it doesn't have the equivalent of 'lein new' (Clojure tool for …

    To me, this explains why the five eyes nations are pushing for (meta)data retention legislation. It's a condition of participating in the scheme.

    I'm sick of knowing about things and not jumping in early. So rather than brag that I knew about Ethereum before everyone else did, yet not have any, I figured I'd get some to play…

    Apparently they made the SafeCoin IPO (safecoin being the altcoin/blockchain that powers MaidSafe) available to purchase with both MasterCoin and Bitcoin. Based on exchange rates a…

    I don't know about corrupt and incompetent... maybe under-resourced and apathetic babysitters of a legacy-ridden codebase.

    I looked at this with interest, and it's just a showcase page with a "contact us" button. I don't click on showcases, I click on documentation, getting started, and pricing links.
