I think the author is attempting to make the very valid point that not all good programmers can be expected to be giving freely of their non-work day time. In short -- life happens but then the jobs dry up and good talent is over looked or

The encryption is really quite good. It's actually very rare to have a problem with the crypto. Compromise of the trust network is much more common and is really the problem with today's crypto systems... read a bit about supe

I agree. If you have more than one child, one parent's salary will go directly and entirely to pay for child care. It's also likely that one parent will need to work fewer hours and be available to drop off / pick up /

I agree... almost. You are dismissing the reality that some people are actually smarter than others. There are some people who really do have a real vision of a 'best' solution. However, it is true that collaboration is the

Wide usage of DNSSEC is needed to trust DNS records. DNSSEC would also fully allow PGP keys to be stored in DNS... See STEED... http://g10code.com/docs/steed-usable-e2ee.pdf But, yes! DNS is the correct and appropria

Synology DSM is a GNU/Linux distro. It runs the exact same stuff as any other distro, including the kernel and all services and the filesystem. The only differences between building your own NAS with a good server distro like Debian

I think the snail mail to email analogy is flawed... snail mail has an envelope, plain text email does not. However, a postcard does not generally have an envelope... So here are some better analogies: snail mail letter == encrypted email

GPG works fine. It's difficult to get people to use encryption regardless of the implementation... I used to work for an organization that required, by written policy, all email to be encrypted. Everyone had an S/MIME cert with

End users need to and can take control over their own email privacy. GPG. Ten minutes to download, install, and generate a key pair is all you need to secure your email. Perhaps the willingness to do so will increase when the government

I think you are wrong on the control and privacy issue. It would seem to me to be more a lack of understanding on what control and privacy mean for the average user. Most Internet users are like most car owners. They have no idea about t

In order to create a fake record, you would need to replace the PGP ID on the registrar's record. In order to that, you'd need to intercept and decrypt a PGP encrypted email. In order to do that you need to be in possession of t
