If you don't want to spend $1400 on a clock, but still want to read time in words, there's another option. You can build it yourself for about a 20th of the cost: https://bitbucket.org/vdham/wordclock That on

From what is currently known it seems plausible that Marcus Hutchins should at least be under investigation. Some of the things he has done in the past were murky. Stopping a large ransomware attack (by accident) does not change that fact.

The point of the letter is that there is something as being polite. Intel telling him about it at some point would have been polite.

This is earnest in that he would have liked someone from Intel to tell them. It is completely earnest in the sense that he is not expecting any money from it. Likewise he has never expected anything from Linus Torvald when MINIX was used as

It should be noted that Minix is code that was developed by university researchers. Researchers who are payed for by (primarily) European and Dutch tax euros. Also note that many of that time, energy and money to modify GPL code is not just

I'm guessing they are also going after the "fitness club" like profit idea. That is, get a subscription, use it frantically in the beginning. Then slowly you go less and less, but still keep the subscription because you never

They had a perfectly fine businessmodel. 1Password has been running for years without the SaaS model: > P. S. Please don’t think our excitement for memberships has anything to do with money. We’re completely self-funded so we don’t have

The headline is misleading. They are not planning to fingerprint all children. They are lowering the age at which refugee children are being fingerprinted (from 14 to 6). This is part of the EU process of making sure that refugees are handl

Things have progressed quite a bit since 2008 fortunately. Vulnerability disclosures have become much more acceptable, and are handled in a much better way. Lots more information about disclosure: * https://www.ee.oulu.fi/re

this raises an interesting question: does one side have an advantage with an incorrectly oriented board? Googling it doesn't really seem to give an answer. Most results that I found note that it probably does not affect the game that m

`It's interesting to note that the PS4 OS is also a forked FreeBSD variant as well.` Here's a nice talk at CCC last year which explains some bits of FreeBSD in the PS4. It's mostly about hardware and how to run Linux on it, b

The naming of "private key" versus "secring.pgp" is very valid criticism. Also the fact that it crashes on first use, and that it is all not very user-friendly are all valid criticisms (still!). PS. please don't dow

Encrypted email for this user group is certainly not over, and there is still no realistic alternative for it. So PGP is not going to go away completely.

Keybase.io is the best solution that has been put forward to solve this problem.

by jvdh 10y ago
They don't because GPG is ancient, and there was no proper way to do email validation back then. It is sort of better now, but still very hard to do. If you have realistic worries that someone can intercept your email, then email valid

The author probably exaggerates, but identifies a very valid point. You really don't want to have this kind of confusion about something that you are planning to trust your secrets to.

There is still very much a set of users in the incident response community that relies on PGP. These are professional teams that need to communicate with each other. They talk about upcoming disclosures, current abuse, upcoming operations o

If you mean "logging" as in web server logs, then it completely depends on the configuration of the server and there is nothing the client can do about it.. If you mean "transferring over the network", then yes, HTTPS on

.onion addresses are like a public key. The server needs to have a private key. Vanity addresses, ones that have a name at the beginning, require some processing in order to find the right public key.

In this case the reason is that not only the sync service costs money, but also the custom font they use costs money. So just letting it sit there would still cost money (on top of the fee for the app store itself).
