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…

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…
Freedom is an old idea. But somehow it never seems outdated. So, put down the iPhone and pick up the GNU Manifesto and enjoy software freedom -- as good as it is gnu
I strongly disagree. The latest round of standardized testing, Common Core, is quite good. However, some schools and teachers and administrators will always act like: > TSA jackboots This doesn't mean that the testing…
On my Firefox browser [31.5, Debian], the rotated image worked fine.
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 /…
Yes.
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…
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 appropriate…

I'm not sure what you mean... Are you comparing the Synology GNU/Linux distro to Debian or some generic [non-Debian] distro to Debian? If you are comparing Synology to Debian, then the "trusted" source argument is…
8760 hours = 1 year So... a 1 Watt device running 24x7 = 8.760 kWh billed at about $0.40/kWh [includes both generation and delivery and normal for NE USA - ain't deregulation great?!] ~ $3.50 per year. In order to get…

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…
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…
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…
I believe they were told to hand over the SSL private key. I'm not sure everyone using the Lavabit service was a criminal... So, my thought is that probable cause for handing over the master key to the hotel should be a…
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…
No offense meant - but why tie yourself to a huge multinational corporate entity that sells your privacy to whomever, whenever, and forever - so that you, the user, can have email or know where the next coffee shop…
I agree, if the email account is going to be used for long term purposes. However, an email account for someone at the high school level should be fine. Presumably, the kid is going to go to a college somewhere - and…
I know lots of people don't know how to setup an email server. But gmail, as an email account, is worth less than $10/month. And, in fact, your ISP probably includes several email accounts with your internet service. If…
