the reason i use this (and just a container with -v $HOME:$HOME before) is to get an environment with all the command line tools i'm familiar with from debian, instead of using som…

the arabic writing is also crazy, so i have no idea what author was going for.

have you actually looked at the map? there a whole inset panel for israel, and not a single mention of palestine.

i used to slip mine in a manilla envelope whenever i needed to take it home from the office and i hadn't brought my backpack with me. our stationary cupboard was well stocked with …

i'm the author. i keep a close eye on it for any security issues but i'm not adding any new features, hence the lack of commits. i also obviously maintain the instance on https://w…

i mainly use apple devices, but never put anything on icloud before adp came out.

yes of course - but in this case the "unexpected" prompt is presented to the attacker, not the user.

> You can mitigate this by including PCRs that sign the kernel and initrd nope! the trick the article is describing works even if the kernel and initrd is measured. it uses the sam…

some years ago i played around with something similar: https://sa.lj.am/sun/ source is linked at the bottom. much of it was written in elm and i no longer understand how any of it …

I developed it mainly on Firefox on macOS. I'd love to figure out why it didn't work for you. Do you get anything on about:webrtc while trying to connect?

The command line version shouldn't have any trouble with large files. There's https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole/issues/4 to fix the web version. :)

The QR code is generated client side.

The website uses Google's. On command line it's an option and Google's is default. I'd like to make the signalling server also a STUN server at some point.

Absolutely true for the web interface if loaded from https://webwormhole.io . I'm open for any more suggestions here! https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole/issues/13 Someone mentio…

Pion is great. Thanks for making it! Definitely give a talk if you can. It's all remote currently!

This uses STUN servers to help it poke through NATs. (That's what I mean by "WebRTC's NAT traversal tricks") There's no TURN server set for this, but it shouldn't be hard to add on…

Codes are intentionally single use, to limit the bruteforce vector. And only two peers can connect any given time currently. It would be interesting to figure out how to make it wo…

Thanks! There's already a Go client: https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole

Making usable interfaces that work in a single directions is really hard. Making them work in both is much much harder. The bugs might be funny, but I have great respect for the pr…

The sheer scale of this is facilitated by technology. We should all be wary of what we build.

That's an appalling thing to say. Like the US's neverending war on terror, "extremism" here is a handy excuse to commit atrocities. It's no argument to justify this level and scale…

The Upspin project uses these to make private key recovery easier. I love the idea. However, the choice of letters only seems unambiguous to western speakers. In Arabic, for exampl…

There's Mailpile: https://www.mailpile.is/

This was part of The Baby, AKA the Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine at the University of Manchester in the late 40s. Modern replicas and simulators can be found at the u…
