It's not a commercial application, but I have 2 raspberry pis rack-mounted[i] running some utilities for my home network (pi hole, gps-based NTP, ads-b data for FlightAware). Using…

I am slightly disappointed that this doesn't work in Firefox, despite the fact that I have an add-on[1] installed to add U2F support. Github for instance is able to detect U2F supp…

The way that the author uses GPS to get time (NMEA messages) works well for the purposes of the article, eg syncing a wristwatch to ~1 second accuracy. As another poster pointed ou…

quantum computers, at best, divide the bit-strength of a symmetric key like AES in half[1]. Brute forcing a 128 bit key is theoretically possible (in the sense that you can do it i…

Bruce Schneier and others[1] have done the math on brute forcing 256 bit keys: even with a perfectly efficient computer using the least amount of energy possible, you would have to…

In what is probably the biggest case, FlightAware, a lot of the data comes from a fleet of users running ADS-B[1] receivers feeding data into their system. ADS-B data is what Air T…

Since a screenshot of the Just Landed app shows up in the image carousel on your link, I am assuming that they used FlightAware for their data. FlightAware charges people for API a…

well, for one, the IRS doesn't treat bitcoin as a currency, but as a commodity. While some foreign currency transactions fall under the regime of capital gains, a transaction resul…

> That's strange. In what industries? Doing what? For one, Python is very big in the GIS space. Python is one of the main scripting language for ArcGIS, which is the main software …

who says Kiro isn't using version control? traditional web hosts provide a level of management that isn't present in VPSes. You may be able to get turnkey instances, but you still …

I did that with my first SSD system, mapped C:/Users to an separate HDD. Honestly it was more trouble than it was worth. Using a junction point for a critical folder like that requ…

I don't think you understand how tax brackets/tax zones work. For example, say there is no tax up to $50000, and a 50% bracket starts at $50000. If you make $50001, you only pay a …

He means level 8, I think. Or at least I have the same problem with level 8 (intoTheWoods)

There are other streaming videos on amazon that you still need to pay for, even if you aren't a Prime member. The "free" amazon prime videos are the ones that are $0 extra if you a…

a birthday attack reduces the number of keys you have to search by half, not half the number of bits. This means that you would have to search 2^255 keys instead of 2^256 keys.
