arpstick··on $1.99 SSL certificates offered by Namecheap
I think this is a really good example of how the ssl CA system is fundamentally broken.
arpstick··on LAPD adds drones to arsenal, says they'll be used sparingly
sounds like a great way to get slingshots made illegal in L.A.

I wonder if this means this will encourage criminals and gangs to stock up on rocket propelled grenades and other anti aircraft weaponry.
arpstick··on "Host your own GitHub" using Gitlab and Dokku
Git does not require a singular centralized repository and embraces decentralization. I like how hosting your own repository is embraced by the overall design of git. "Host your own Github" should most definitely be the norm vs having a github/sourceforge/google code that everyone relies on being up. I wish that everyone running their own repositories while pulling directly from others was the defacto standard, that way no one can use the excuse "$repository / $service is down I'll submit it later".
arpstick··on Show HN: bashblog, a single Bash script to create blogs
> Everything stored in a single 700-line bash script, how cool is that?! ;)

A good rule of thumb:

If your bash script is over 100 (sane) lines it's an indication that what you are doing is probably best not done with shell scripts.

But... to each their own.

arpstick··on Total relay bandwidth in the Tor network
You can have more than 1 participating hop

Let's say we have Alice and Bob, alice wants to have 4 hops both outbound and inbound and Bob wants to have a 2 hop inbound and a 1 hop outbound

Alice's tunnels would be:

Alice -> Participant A1 -> Participant A2 -> Participant A3 -> Outbound Endpoint 1 -> ?

Alice <- Participant A4 <- Participant A5 <- Participant A6 <- Inbound Gateway 1 <- ?

Bob's tunnels would be:

Bob -> Outbound Gateway 2 -> ?

Bob <- Participant B1 <- Inbound Gateway 2 <- ?

For Alice to send to Bob and receive a reply the round trip path of the message would take would be

Alice -> PA1 -> PA2 -> PA3 -> OBEP1 -> IBGW2 -> PB1 -> Bob -> OBEP2 -> IBGW1 -> PA6 -> PA5 -> PA4 -> Alice

arpstick··on Simpsons in CSS
It'd be cool if there was a tool to assist in the creation of such arts.
arpstick··on That Time I Made A Website
It's a nice site for a non programmer although the font hurts my eyes a bit. Her server host must be thrilled now that her site probably overloaded their box with requests.
arpstick··on Freenet Project's Statement on the recent Freedom Hosting bust
Freenet by nature is an insane resource hog, that doesn't make the JVM look any better.
arpstick··on Facebook news feed ads generate 49 times more clicks at 45% less cost
It's too bad a "Facebook Premium, no ads included Edition" will never happen due to the fact that it wouldn't make as much money as the current model with invasive ads.
