I think there could be a GH feature request that could do something like this in my opinion (opt-in though, not opt-out). In my personal GH account there is a "sponsor" button that…

Very good question! SDR + something like Reticulum or Yggdrasil would definitely provide the infra or network fabric for the kind of thing I'm thinking of. However, a normal Androi…

I think this stuff is super important, simply because there is a ton of stuff we can't do using our phones today. Think mesh networking, resilient ad-hoc application clustering, no…

The dumbest part of this is that all Wikimedia projects already export a dump for bulk downloading: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/ So it's not like you need to crawl the sites to get…

No offence to Mr. Andserson but it reads a bit like someone has done an 'Inception' on him - subtly planted the seed of a train of thought that would lead him to disband his effort…

Does anyone else think this should be made into a movie? Massive respect to this ED.

Popping up here to mention OpenMRS, a healthy open-source EMR used by hundreds if not thousands of facilities across the world, mostly in Africa and Asia. An old version is package…

Funny that the article focuses on huge corps for on-prem. I work for a non-profit and we deploy stuff to hardware in Afghanistan, Haiti, Sudan... You can't assume the Internet work…

Love this! See also ssllabs.com and sshcheck.com.

This reminds me of "two stories of the pistol", some anecdotes where a sentry actually does almost kill some idiot senior officers: http://everything2.com/title/Two+stories+of+the+…

Sorry but what is the actual point of this blog post? GPG is just one guy. Who's practically beggared himself writing and maintaining the tool. GPG is actually used by human rights…

Apposite: "Don't Pile On" - http://rc3.org/2015/02/14/dont-pile-on/

This is such a stupid framing to the article. The sixth paragraph states clearly why it was built and it has nothing to do with NASA drifting - it was being pulled: "But, at first,…

This is getting interesting - see the comments - apparently it may be part of an Aegis missile? Not something you'd want to end up in a grey market in Shenzhen!

I think the BtC protocol was used to ensure that peoples usernames were guaranteed unique, and linkable to a private key, i.e. verifiable. I think the whitepaper has more info, rea…

Hum, I think between you, nl, and nwg, point 1 is looking very shabby... I think I'll revise it shortly.

Yup, because I misread the paper :-/ I thought it also stated that entity A had done large amounts of churning, which it hasn't. I'll fix that, thankyou...

>>Bitcoin is, by design, highly vulnerable to network analysis. >By design as in, that's the only way the network could conceivably work. This network, yes. But you can construct t…

That's true, but then it's equally true that DJBs software, while absolutely excellent, is definitely idiosyncratic. If DJB anonymously published code using the same style, e.g. th…
