Of course not, I'm just saying throwing verifiable data onto a blockchain doesn't solve all cases we use voice data for.

The link goes to an unrelated comment thread about iOS keyboard password entry - should this be linked to the root of the thread instead? https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/6nhyur/t...

It'll just be 2020's "I can tell by the pixels" joke.

That would make some things we currently rely on - like voice recordings as evidence of criminal acts nearly impossible. No one is going to sign their crimes into a blockchain.

Congrats on spamming HN very successfully. You've done by far the best of the spammers I've seen. But I doubt this community is likely to click those links and using is.gd isn't great for SEO, so I'm not sure what you&#x

The main issue is likely to be latency and lack of existing low latency protocols - it's doable, I use jack over my network to watch video and voip apps like Mumble get pretty damn good with compressed audio, but most of the music orie

Even in software engineering programs, stuff like this just doesn't get covered. Yet it's way more fun than what they teach you in school and will often involve learning the same concepts anyways. Just sad really.

Just release it anyways, their problem that they don't have a public api, not yours. Sometimes you gotta break some rules to do something great.

Yeah, I hate that they changed perfectly food mplayer binds to make less sense. Fortunately there's a file included that will restore the original behaviors.

Yes, but similarly if you have a given public key you can ask a server if it accepts that key with no need for the private key. Basically, don't reuse keys in places where you might not want to be identified and use ssh configs to prev

I wouldn't really say this is significant in an attack sense - you need to reveal your public key to engage in many types of secure communication, SSL throws these around all day as does any private messaging app, PGP, SSH servers, etc

Vultr has like half the specs and different locations if I recall correctly.

The flip side of that for me at least is that the US government is a lot more likely to be able to come after me for something I say or do than the Chinese government is. Yeah, it's brutal for Chinese citizens, but I'm on the othe

Also $30/year for a cheap virtual server from a pretty major provider is nice. I'll probably pick one up just for some network testing purposes.

Yeah - it's an interesting conundrum, but it's not like similar doesn't happen with US providers - it's pretty much commonplace here given taps in DCs and under-the-table agreements, "Room 641A" and all such th

And your network-running VMs have high disk IO requirements?

You're limited then to only mirroring, you can't do RAID6 or similar on a massive array where you're only giving up 2/10 drives space but can have a 2 disk failure. Seems like a lot of wasted disks when the only thing I&

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't add vdevs to a RAIDZ (RAID5/6ish) system in ZFS, which are probably the most common configurations for home NAS systems. I'd love to run ZFS, but I can't because I need to be abl

Btrfs is a mess too, especially with its metadata system that you have to manually resize constantly, data-loss bugs and fsck problems. I've had nothing but problems with it and will never use it on a production system. LVM on the othe

One thing that you seemingly missed in your review of toolkits is that PyQt cannot be used freely by a proprietary application such as yours. Qt itself is LGPL, PySide (the official python Qt binding) is also LGPL, but PyQt is GPL-only unle

I'm in the same situation, my handwriting is illegibly bad, even by myself - the main reason I don't want to improve it is that I just don't use it, haven't for years, it'd be an incredible waste of time and effort.

If you think you're going to catch every possible NIC-level modification, does tampering on the CPU really matter if there's no way to store or exfiltrate the data without being detected?

Yeah, given Intel's support for TXT and SGX which are basically moves in the opposite direction, I highly doubt they want to lose customers over things like not being able to play some new DRM'd content from Netflix. The gain from

That RISC-V stuff looks pretty appealing - I'm looking the Freedom E310 now and one thing I'm sort of confused by. Is only the architecture open, but the silicon isn't? If so, what's the point of that, is the only thing

I'd say that using the land of your own country - owned by people in your country - for military purposes, while sketchy, is definitely more acceptable than taking an island from its indigenous occupants by force. The UK ownership then

I've had this issue too with npm on my build server - sometimes things just fail, maybe it's flaky network, maybe it's some package update that didn't quite go as planned, but yarn seems to solve it and works a lot faste
