I recently searched "best chair posture" and was saddened to see almost the entire first page as affiliate blog top-10 garbage. I could have worded the query more clearly, absolute…

So, clearly not enough time or experience to make scientifically false statements about an entire country of nearly 90 million people, many of which are much smarter than you or I.…

So no account for the "genetic" intelligence required to navigate such a society intelligently? You have some extremely disgusting conclusions that aren't based in facts but merely…

I think the US is much more inclined to use parallel construction and the full extent of the legal system to bring down someone, which while can be similar, is not quite the same a…

Pretty cool to set WASM support added now. I may have to revisit the game to grind out golang & rust syntax skills, depending on how difficult it is to use in practice

A lot of people who have dealt with much worse volatility in their national currency thought it was a good idea. Many national currencies have performed so much worse than this.

If these are VOIP then, sadly, these already won't work with a huge number of services.

There's tons of land unused in the US. But I also agree with you. I haven't played with this one yet, but it looks very nice for automated hydroponic setups. https://github.com/kiz…

Lmao. Microsoft has a few great open source projects out I'd say. This seems promising to me. But yeah the Azure setup docs look a little easier here, and they mention promoting Az…

I see the server hardware requirements, but what about all the sensors/drones/other equipment? I'm curious how much a base working setup would cost.

For what it's worth, the whitepaper for their VPN makes some pretty strong claims to user privacy, with the VPN client being open source. Normally Google's privacy policies are fai…

Chromebooks offer some of the best consumer grade security around for PC hardware. Coreboot, firmware tamper detections, Disk encryption, tightened RBAC, kvm virtualization, lxc co…

At least from a design perspective, I would highly encourage users to check out Secure Scuttlebutt. It solves many problems highlighted here. Dominic Tarr really did some excellent…

Anyone could have easily just downloaded the nonfree iso. However, I think it's so very important that we can simply say "Just go install Debian" to anyone just looking for a rock …

Or even autocrypt integrated directly.

I like their pricing structure for bulk accounts. What I'd absolutely love to see is more email services that are Protonmail compatible, utilizing WKD or whatever it they need. Her…

I have worked for a few school districts and the security has always been very poor. Nobody really hardened Windows too much, leaving the attack surface wide open. In grade 8 I dis…

Did you skim over the part where there's a toggle to strictly prevent sending messages to unauthorized devices?

I agree wholeheartedly and this is why I use Matrix. The fact that a vulnerabilitiy of this magnitude can largely be defeated with precautions, albeit non ideal, are a real testame…

You mean, allowed to decrypt unless following the discussed mitigations? I suspect you don't regularly use the client, which is fine, but these warnings and notifications are very …

Yes. I have used Matrix professionally for years and it's pretty simple for me to understand and follow what is unnecessarily editorialized here to keep my conversations safe. I do…

Yes? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33024640

"if you follow these instructions without fail, Matrix can provide you with confidentiality and authentication." I was hoping the researchers could clarify these simple mitigation …

Your suggesting to use Slack, where a similar compromise would reveal your entire account message history.. ? Just enforce proper key verification for now and you're fine..

Looks like it would only be "likely to go unnoticed" for users that regularly disregard the massive annoying warnings about unverified devices and don't enforce verification
