While I appreciate the reluctance to operate in fourteen-eyes/SSEUR, where do people trust to be secure outside SSEUR?

I've said this elsewhere, but I'm trying to help, not spam! Please make sure to report evidence of blocking to PIA support, they do have some solutions available. Worst case, it gi…

I would be very interested to know what you think a VPN provider could do to assure users that the servers are safe. I've yet to see an example verifiable safe server configuration…

This is actually less insane than it sounds. Most VPN providers rent space at traditional datacenter providers like Equanix. Search for "dedicated server hosting" and "colocation p…

Please make sure to report that to PIA support, they do have some solutions available. Worst case, it gives them evidence that it's time to rotate IPs.

Very true! Unfortunately, your RPi is going to have only one user in responsible for traffic. Commercial VPN providers act as a multiplexer to hide who is responsible for what traf…

I've set up scripts to convert an existing virtualbox/vagrant .box file to a vmware compatible OVF. I would use those to deliver to clients at my last employer. I know github is do…

Glad to be one of the users who uses vagrant every day!

You should know that people have been trying reputation-style digital currencies since at least the early nineties. They require a ton of bootstrapping to get anywhere. That's beca…

I hadn't heard of that! I'll be sure to mention it on our opt-out page, along with adblock.

We thought about how much people would hate us if we did some digg-bar thing like that. We'll leave the being debatably evil to google. As for the GPU-accelerated JS, check out Web…

We thought so too! But then we realized that if you're going to download and install a miner, you probably want one that's actually fast. Browser plugins, which are almost all java…

Fortunately, that's not actually true. If the community agrees when the last valid block is, all the transactions before that will be accepted as trustworthy. The DHT (now moving t…

We're looking into the best way to let adblock users turn us off, as well as a cookie based opt-out.

That's pretty interesting! We'll give it a look and see how much it improves things.

I'm one of the developers of bitp.it. We're still working on an opt-out cookie, but for now we encourage you to use adblock. I'll be throwing a howto up later this afternoon.

> quality/UX standards were relaxed somewhat Yow.

Not exactly. If you look a bit closer, you'll see that this isn't just a strict child, otherwise they might have managed by swapping a foreign key or something. In a graph db, you'…

Hey, I resemble that remark.

Way to build a short and beautiful step path to the land of Not Invented Here. It's one think not to write a tutorial to using one of the well supported OAuth gems. But you didn't …

Translation from press release speak: [The iPad is great for entertaining one person, but sometimes you want a TV because you want to entertain more than one person. Apple TV lets …

> it looks a lot like my pre-code scribbles Absolutely, and I mostly write ruby. I actually love that about python. But it feels optimized for writing code with a pen, not with a k…

Seems like this author just doesn't realize how painful migrating to OAuth is for a service provider. Of course xAuth isn't a real security improvement to HTTP Basic. But it forces…

Kinda strange that they don't lump android and linux. What exactly is this 'platform' they speak of? It's not the browser used I guess. But it's not like they're calling KDE and Gn…
