    we have been using wgetpaste, that supports this 0x0 service (among others), as a support tool, so people can paste their debug logs and stuff to chat. https://github.com/zlin/wget…

    The Coming Soon columns make it hard to see the two main price and name columns on mobile small screen at the same time. I wish to hide those. But nice idea.

    now here we have "X considered harmful" - a common Trope. This seems more like a "First!" to title their paper this, as a meme of the whitepaper meta, that title came first, then t…

    a similar situation just happened between Nvidia and EVGA. NVidia makes the chips, And So, holds all the bargaining chips so to speak, and EVGA is just the board partner that has t…

    I can't believe [What do they have to hide?] was even seriously spoken here. Im not the only one who believes this glows exactly like a state-sanctioned hitjob. This was cyber-warf…

    One step closer to anarcho-tyranny. Anonymous has become the Antifa of the Internet. Basically a far-left strike force, cloaked but public, with enough plausible deniability that t…

    I havent confused them. Its phrased like that to alert people they can't change the key strength by bit-ness, but they can change the KDF password-strength, on GENERATION, which is…

    4096 _does_ take a lot of extra CPU resources, and it _is_ diminishing returns. But anyone who prioritizes this above all else is arguing either from a vantage point of distributed…

    I didnt say it wasn't enough. I said you should upgrade to elliptic curve crypto, or if you have to stay on RSA, re-generate with 4096 because it's better. A 2048 bit RSA key only …

    There is a good reason, its just buried in complex crypto math and I won't be the one to explain it for you. If you are still using RSA, you should have upgraded to 4096 bit RSA by…
