I never like reading and probably never will. So it feels good to read something that doesn't affect me (personally). Really love how this article is written, the choice of words and sentences really speak to me.

Bitcoin was the first famous crypto currency. But it has been surpassed by many other digital coins with lower fees, more transactions per second, better technical design and all these things combined. Bitcoin also suffers from whales routi

I always laugh when people claim their Apple computers are secure and privacy friendly compared to Windows 10. They are certainly not. The only viable OS at this point is Linux and even then you have to carefully select your distribution.

Exactly, I'm running fine without Pulseaudio, Policykit and SystemD. Good old sysv init scripts always work, less complexity means less chance for bugs creeping in.

Can relate to this, audacious was terribly slow in the past but it's a pretty good music player now. However, the Winamp skin hasn't dated that well imo

Looks like fun and it's a game that's been on my watchlist for years. But I've reached an age where I'm pretty sure that once I finish the rocket and escape the planet (that's what seems to be the main goal) I'

I've used the free MaxMinds database for a while but since the last year I've been using iplist.cc. It supports IPv4, IPv6, shows if an IP is tor, spam, which ASN and a lot more. It's also free and fast but with services like

Really interesting distro to just test things and to use Curl without exposing your real IP. However, it always bothers me when Tails detects the virtual machine VirtualBox as being nonfree.

The author doesn't seem to have much experience with running a business. The enterprise pricing makes a lot of sense when you know you need a service for multiple years. The bucket based pricing works very well for the example he menti

"1. PGP is old and broken and messages can potentially be decrypted without access to private key" Absolute nonsense, PGP is perfectly safe. Blame the broken cowboy software implementations.

Looks interesting, the minification looks like a pretty good selling point. One thing I noticed is the slow connection from Australia, it seems your CDN is limited to Europe and America.

This is pretty awesome, I've been migrating from C# and NodeJS back to PHP and it's awesome. Want to know why? - Everything is either built-in or can be enabled from an OFFICIAL repository (like functions for bc,xml,etc). No more

Except this is not about enforcing opportunities for a certain group but to prevent a group certain privileges based on their skin color and sexual orientation. Discrimination is not right because you think you have the right motives, the l

Really extensive and interesting to read, thanks for doing this!

It's sad to see how these fires are automatically linked to climate change. Until the mid 2000's Australia burned down small patches of forests to prevent large disasters like these we have now. But that changed when burning down

+1 for Mullvad. Been using them since the beginning but never used their support so can't comment on that. One thing that bugged me was the general instability of Mullvad vs others, a few years ago connections would often drop or becom

Don't use it myself but this is great news. I'm happy to see Adriaan is so open about everything that goes on (also the bad things). Something that I always find difficult for projects like this.

I really doubt the recording is actually deleted from all of their servers. Wouldn't be surprised when a few years from now there is another news item about how they accidentally kept these logs in backups or how they were shared with

What a horrible site, it tries to hijack the back button, full screen cookie warning and uBlock has over a dozen items blocked.

A few years back I ditched Pulseaudio for regular Alsa and it's been a godsend. No more crackling audio on bluetooth devices, alsamixer which can set all the volume levels and every program just works out of the box. The problem I have

Except the videos of Watson aren't spreading hate or violence but he is just another person with an opinion. Because it's unpopular opinion and because he worked with Infowars in the past it's easy to make him into the "

Disagree, on most of my systems I don't even have swap partition anymore. The few times I need it, I can just create a swap file on the fly and have any amount of swap memory. Performance problems the author describes can be fixed 90%

One of my most used programs. The more I use it, the more features I come to rely on, like using sshfs (although it's separate program), scp, ssh-copy-id, etc.

My experience exactly. The most common observation with Slack is how people praise it as the next big thing in productivity. But this is always during the honeymoon phase, after a few months of working with Slack it usually quickly wears of

The statements by Ars are overrated. Yes, it's annoying but without trying to create new and risky applications Google cannot exist.

Interesting idea, but I think many file upload sites will soon shift to encryption before uploading (like Firefox Send), making filters impossible.
