rotthirteen would "work", but it's not a protocol. Actual protocols include tcp, udp, dccp, sctp, etc.

I would suggest that if you need to search every instance of the variable `i`, your loop is too large and needs to be refactored. Variables like this should only be used in a highl…

Who? This is the first I've heard of a youtuber sticking his nose in this.

Neither is Bash. And, being GNU projects, Bash and `info` generally come hand-in-hand.

The key is the obfuscation algorithm. In cryptography, the key isn't just a string of bytes, it's also the algorithm and cipher.

They're just variants on the IFF theme.[1] All of these files are broken into chucks with a FourCC header (sometimes with letters alternately upper or lower case, depending on feat…

There's a lot I'm not explaining, in part because I don't (yet) understand crypto well enough to know if my idea even makes sense, let alone is feasible. Matrix is close , but not …

Not exactly. I rather dislike XMPP's design, and what I'd like to see is something not only decentralized (relying at most on a DHT seed), but supporting group chats with trivially…

Maybe it is, but it's not the decentralized replacement for Discord and Teams that I envision.

There's enough conflicting information about the suicide that that particular conspiracy theory is going to have legs for a long time to come.

I've been bouncing around the idea of a fully decentralized end-to-end encrypted chat protocol for exactly this reason, but I've been afraid to work on it for precisely the reason …

Python has been around since, what, 1994? C# goes back to '99 or '00 or something like that. Nim goes back to maybe 2008 and only hit 1.0 today.

I think it's fair to say that LoC is perhaps the least relevant metric it is possible to imagine. Languages differ in expressive power in ways that effectively mean that 200kLoC in…

You realize your microwave operates at over 1100 watts in a small enclosure designed to reflect RF, while 5G currently maxes out at 1100 watts in an open space that dissipates the …

Speaking for myself, this is partly why I want to contribute to the kernel. I tend not to take my own mistakes very seriously unless they come with serious consequences. Having som…

Graphics drivers are by no means the only drivers that require updates.

A better way to do that find command is: find -name '*.xls' -print0 | xargs -0 xls2csv

I see it fine on Arch. I have a relatively minimal set of fonts installed, and it seems to be coming from a font named "Standard Symbols L", which seems to be included as a Type1 f…

The react format is not original. It predates FineBros by some years. Even the name being "X reacts to y" predates FineBros. It could not be more unoriginal. But what Fine was doin…

If you configure your SSH server for a limited, secure set of ciphers and HMACs, these automated attacks won't even get to the point of attempting authentication. https://stribika.…

They're not, but it's been common practice in their industry for decades, and it's generally seen as beneficial to OEMs and users to have access to datasheets before purchase. This…

Presumably because international treaties extend the reach of certain domestic laws. ... Or because the Copyright cartels bribed the NZ gov't to roll over. We'll never know.
