I don't see the parallel as intended to put Napoleon down, but instead to attribute the same force of personality to Hitler. As someone who never met either man (perhaps that's obvious :), I'm not sure the connection…
Can you list some of the boards that are both cheaper and more capable?
Why do BitFury and Petamine use a pool at all? At their scale, wouldn't they have low enough variance through solo mining? Or perhaps P2Pool?
That video is just auto-complete after the first letter...
I use Linux basically everywhere - Arch Linux on development machines, Ubuntu or Debian on servers. I use Windows for gaming maybe 5-10 hours a week.
Can someone explain to me how the US has jurisdiction over Credit Suisse? I see how they could have gone after the individual tax fraudsters (American citizens), but how can they police foreign banks?
We really ought to completely skip over Chip and PIN to something like Google Wallet or another NFC system...
Yes, this is the NSA's job - foreign SIGINT. If you don't like this, you need to use encrypted communications.
I take this sentiment a bit further - unless it's throwaway-cheap, the reviews and word of mouth are stellar (they're usually not for any but the biggest hits), or the concept immediately clicks for me, I will pirate…
No. If I shut down my laptop, my hard drive is encrypted and keys are no longer in RAM (modulo a cold-boot attack, but that is only really useful for <30 minutes after shutdown without preparation).
The obvious solution for this would be for Android to expose "derive random numbers from image frame" as a permission. But this is unnecessary, because they can just seed /dev/random from this source at boot (or if the…
https://www.tindie.com/products/ubldit/truerng-hardware-rand... But I'll give two cautions: 1. This device has received less auditing than linux's software crypto. And some HWRNGs are quite bad:…
I use "lvh.me" - it has a wildcard DNS record to redirect any subdomain to localhost. So I'll use something like "example.com.lvh.me" to test.
StartSSL's default usage mode is to generate private keys on their website. Yet another horribly insecure system. I'd much rather that people used self-signed certs (and browsers had certificate pinning) by default, and…
That bug affected OpenSSL as well. Admittedly, it was caused by the Debian maintainer, but still, OpenSSL's poor design is partially to blame.
Update to 1.0.1g, redo all crypto. That is, revoke certs and keys and regenerate.
Each hex character represents 4 bits. That means that a 7 character string is 28 bits. That's about 268 million possibilities. On average, it would take around 134 million commits to get one that started with "badc0de".

My favorite thing about tarsnap is how damn reliable and trustworthy Colin is. If I see tarsnap start to move towards whatever fad all the other SaaS platforms are following today, I'll probably assume that they're…
Deduplication. And like any other SaaS or cloud model, not hosting it yourself.
What is <insert technology>, and why do I have to learn it if <insert worse technology> is sufficient?
This is my question too. Tarsnap is cool, and Colin deserves to get paid for his hard work, but the cost differential is far too much for me to use tarsnap right now. If they cut their costs in half, I'd be able to…
I'm curious how it compares to the average quality of upbringing with three parents.

It's true. The blockchain is at best pseudoanonymous. If you are careful about how you get your coins, and use a high latency mixer (which don't exist as far as I know, but can be faked by multiple runs through a low…
