Aren't a couple of those "less than objective" judges coming up on retirement? What then?

Interesting opinion. The "overhead" I'm concerned with is based in hardware, not my own creativity.

When I install Python I get about 14MB of stuff. The interpreter is about 8K. The libpython shared library is about 1.5MB. If what you are referring to as the standard library is in that 1.5MB, then disregard my comment on LOC. If it's

The standard libraries count as an external library. Why wouldn't they?

So who should we entrust with protecting our communications over the open Internet? The US defense contractor and the reclusive gentleman in the UK whose code (for whatever reasons) has a rather poor security record, or the math professor

How many LOC in the libraries used to be able to write the implementation in 500 lines of Python? Why not include some experiments with Lua and lpeg? It would probably be faster than Java or Python. And arguably Lua is easier to learn. Mayb

I'm guessing the downvoters have no clue what TAP is or why it is relevant to peer-to-peer. Either that or they just think this is some critique of their beloved Apple. I'm referring to the TUN/TAP driver. All BSD's have

Last time I checked iOS still lacks a TAP device. Castration indeed.

(First stage bootloader) Yes, I know that. I have yet to find a device that meets all my requirements (some of which I did not mention). In RPI's favor I will say that 1. it is not "in development" but is "on sale"

As soon as they have something that boots BSD, where starting the graphics layer is optional and it has decent networking, I will definitely purchase one of these. I wouldn't mind a little FORTH, too. Godspeed, OpenMoko.

by uuid_to_string 12y ago
Yes, this is a good suggestion. Time will tell. I prefer BSD and this is potentially a candidate. For now, I'm investing my time in my RPi.

No, you said that. I said that having email so closely coupled to DNS is part if the problem. I'm not sure why you would have to remember IP addresses. We routinely "dial" telephone numbers by selecting from a list of contac

Thank you for being honest. But I am actually referring to something different: hosting your own mailserver. So when I say "set up DNS" I mean set up a DNS server, not simply an MX record. This allows you to create your own dom

Are we discussing control of email, or aesthetics of email? If you want to use names instead of numbers, then you can do that. You and your recipient must use the same DNS root.

OpenBSD has to be commended for executing on a simple idea that sadly few developers ever adopt: You can make software more valuable by taking things out.

by uuid_to_string 12y ago
Part of the problem is that many years ago certain people decided it would be a good idea to tightly couple email to domain names (DNS). Previously email needed only IP addresses to work. The result is that now when you are configuring SM

For per packet encryption. For authentication, there is CurveCP. People seem confident with OpenSSH's authentication mechanism. Why not use that? At some point one has to trust that the IP address one is sending/retrieving data

How did you reach this conclusion? At least with devices running iOS, if you let the charge drop to zero, and it loses its cached network settings, and then when you try to reconnect to your home wifi router, it will look for a file call

Our current testing utilities are relatively small and compile with modest amounts of RAM. Hobbit's netcat, WR Stevens' sock, etc. We have security auditing rules that require us to compile the programs we run from source. We

You are correct. They mentioned Heartbleed and the software that is responsible for it.

Chances are, you're already running one. If you have a smartphone, it allows the carrier (=client) to access the device (=server) remotely. Same for cable modems. Maybe you also have a Wifi router. It is listening for HTTP requests b

"It doesn't scale!" Who said it needed to scale? How many Facebook friends does the average user have? Do these these networks need to be larger than that? If users want larger networks they can bridge their VLAN's. &quo

As you know, OpenVPN cannot do what n2n can do. Someone has to run an OpenVPN server. Everyone on the network has to trust that server. And connections between network participants are not peer to peer. With OpenVPN and most other VPN&#x27

By "you" do you mean me, personally? The servers I use do not have bash installed by default. The only time I use it is when I am forced to by an installation script. I install bash on an as needed basis, and when I'm done us
