You have to be willing to pay the price. If you want privacy for your users from $E_CORP then you have to protect yourself from becoming the $E_CORP. How can you say "Privacy is important! $E_CORP is tracking you! - btw, here run this

"We build open-source mobile operating systems that respect users’ data privacy." yet your website pulls gstatic.com. How can I trust the project when I can't even visit the official website without being logged by the bigges

Actually, if Apple were to stop selling MacBooks next year it could be the downfall. How do you think that the iPhone & iPad ecosystem is sustained? Through developers (most of whom are) using MacBooks. They have to port XCode to Window

But if those keys represent Person A at Company X then who owns them? Can the company use them if they don't represent the truth anymore? Who's responsibility is it to guard/change/dispose them?

I'm wondering if destroying the signing keys will have legal consequences. Are signing keys considered company IP when their identity is "fused" with the main developer? Reading online posts it seems that the community is tru

Actually that's the property of xor, not randomness. Data xor uniform distribution -> results in uniform distribution. It doesn't have to be random.

This is like saying North America and Europe don't have freedom because you're not free to kill/abuse/take advantage of the others however you like. Freedom doesn't work like that. The GPL restrictions are for keepi

By using the DB you have to deal with the company. By giving a grant to a company that is (apparently) more ethical will signal what kind of behavior you encourage, hence choosing to work with MariaDB over OracleDB.

I searched through the schedule and didn't find State of the Onion. That's unfortunate. Security Nightmares seems to be still going. That's always a good talk.

M1: Each CPU has four memory channels, each node has 16 DIMMs (8/CPU, 2 DIMMs/channel) which means that you can use 1 DIMM per channel -> maximum memory bandwith and speed with RDIMMs. Using 64GB or 128GB LRDIMMs with E5v4 CPUs

What really bothers me, as citizen of an european country, why is it possible to have secret deals? If I don't know about such deals how can I call my representative to oppose them? Or encourage them to take the deal if it's a goo

Same, but I'm using Open vSwitch[0] to tag internet traffic which goes to the router VM. I was using IOMMU but on non-Intel NICs the interupts were killing the throughput in OpenBSD. [0] - http://openvswitch.org/

Just because you won't outrun your chain, doesn't mean you're not a slave. Maybe a happy one, but still a slave nonetheless.

To be clear, NSL are anti-democratic and wrong. But it looks like they put themselves in that position. Either by voluntary working with the FBI and allegedly taking a $1M grant, and/or doing unethical research by doing it on the liv

Yes, it's possible. You run tor under its own user and block all ingress/egress traffic except from tor's user. You talk to the outside world proxying through tor.

Ex-US agent seems kind of deliberate distancing. He was an agent when he did the deed and the title should present that accordingly. Edit: ninja'd by meric

I think that's the Kerckhoffs' principle[0]. Regarding to state actors who have the resources to attack any system, I think it's important to make it as hard as possible, even if it's "known" they will find a w

I like OpenBSD. I like the spirit of the developers, which don't compromise on security. I like the simplicity of the OS, very good documented and very robust. They are prepared to break a ton of software to advance the state of securi

@ghostly_s I don't see this as the roadblock. They (the experts) could bill by the hour. The most intensive period is the initial specification/design/architecture. After the burst period they just have to review the commits

If only the design/architecture would be contracted to experts and the actual implementation be written by the community how expensive would that be? The experts shouldn't write any line of code, use the community as code monkeys,
