BCM43··on An old system and a SWAT team
As far as I can tell the passwords for phpbb are hashed with md5. Could someone correct me if I'm wrong? And if this is the case, this is a much larger issue, and warrants more of a response than simply reseting the password and burying it in a blog post about something else.

BCM43··on Nagios-plugins web site taken over by Nagios
There is, and it's way better. https://www.icinga.org/
BCM43··on CentOS Project joins forces with Red Hat
How so?

What does that do?
BCM43··on “We cannot trust” Intel and Via’s chip-based crypto, FreeBSD developers say
Yes, Linux already does it iirc.
BCM43··on Nginx security advisory (CVE-2013-4547)
I would be extremely surprised if Debian did not update it. Ubuntu I'm less sure about, mostly because I'm less familiar with their security update policies.
BCM43··on Shell script mistakes
I find that after a shell script gets to be over 3 or so lines, it's easier to switch over to python or perl. Do others feel the same?
BCM43··on TWTR
With taxes and benefits, it's not that far off. Plus office space for them, computers for them, a whole host of other perks.
BCM43··on Few successful entrepreneurs blog
I think that may be the joke. Though this is the text, so I'm not sure.
BCM43··on Ghost Launches to The Public
I think it's the idea in general, not the specific platform. Joey Hess was able to successfully run his own crowdfunding campaign with custom written software.

BCM43··on NAND flash has at least another decade of life
By disc media you mean optical disks? A hard drive is, at least to me, disc media.
BCM43··on Linode Longview
7 actually. And I think so.

How would it alert you of texts?
BCM43··on Gnome's Web Browser Ditches Google For DuckDuckGo
No, the package management system on just about every distribution running gnome is the best way. A web browser is a good way to get info on why the package manage is broken though.
BCM43··on Microsoft Accuses Microsoft of Copyright Infringement
Your username is quite apt.
BCM43··on Block NSA funding for collecting the call records of all Americans
Everyone knows we need some kind of government.

That depends on either your definition of government or everyone.

BCM43··on Opera breached, has code cert stolen, possibly spreads malware
How so? The alternative is people got a pop-up, then click install without verifying it (how could they?). It's functionally the same thing almost all the time.
BCM43··on Close.io adds SmartSearch: Data analytics so simple a salesperson can do it
I'm getting tired of elitism passed of as jokes on HN.
BCM43··on We were wrong
If you do it without asking, then yes.
BCM43··on Paddle
Why does that need JavaScript to load?
BCM43··on DuckDuckGo Sees Record Traffic After NSA PRISM Scandal
That's pretty close to what riseup.net does.

Of course, you have to trust them to actually do that.

You're replying to the wrong person.

Isn't OTR usually don client-side?

Yes, it looks like you're correct.
BCM43··on NSA revelations only 'the tip of the iceberg,' says Dem lawmaker
If I read that correctly she could be charged with treason and a felony.
BCM43··on Show HN: Invoice-o-matic – a free online invoice tool
Agreed. I was interested, but after that message I don't really want to deal with them. If this is how they deal with prospective customers, I don't really trust them.
BCM43··on Court found NSA surveillance unconstitutional in 2011
Also, keep in mind, in 1932 Germany was a democracy.
BCM43··on Using Metadata to Find Paul Revere
So... The army said so?
BCM43··on Using Metadata to Find Paul Revere
Do you have any evidence that Manning hurt his enemies?
BCM43··on Encrypt your Google chats and make the NSA sad
Actually, iirc the Chinese made that processor because they were afraid of the US putting backdoors in Intel and AMD chips
