You can calculate the signature offline on your local machine against the public key - only the owner of the file can generate a valid signature

So what's the course of action? Give up and simply accept massive privacy infringement, or support laws that push back wherever (still) possible?

I was recently looking for something similar, allowing me to draw network diagrams using text or code. I came across [0] which looks great, but has some rough corners and seems to be abandoned by he author. Does anyone have any other recommendations for more bare-metal oriented topologies?

Hmm, I don't really see any really convincing points, or workable alternatives that your linked article provides.

Nevertheless I would like to read more about this claim:

> It [PGP] was designed in the 1990s, and in the 20 years since it became popular, cryptography has advanced in ways that PGP has not kept up with. So, for example, it recently turned out to be possible for eavesdroppers to decrypt messages without a key, simply by tampering with encrypted messages. Most technologists who work with PGP don’t understand it at a low enough level to see what’s wrong with it.

(I admit I am one of these technologists)

afaik, BPF has been retroactively renamed to classic BPF (cBPF).

I don't think that this in particular is really a good example of this gap. It feels more like a sloppy implementation. Just like humans, an autopilot has multiple sources available for guessing what an appropriate speed would be. Simply including information from a map application should be enough to prevent these kind of mistakes/hacks. Now things like children playing on the side of the road certainly seem more difficult to handle..

I see no reason make this negative link. The BMBF is a research agency which gives out grants for research through public calls (somewhat similar to the NSF in the US).

There are no strings attached, besides providing reports on scientific contributions achieved throughout the project.

It's not like the BND will come knocking on your door saying make algorithm X weak or you will not receive funding (or worse).

Any good recommendations for RSS feeds to follow?

Not that I totally disagree with the gist of your comments, but the Syria situation seems much more relevant internationally, with Syria involving direct military actions in of two world powers and a NATO member. Not to say that any of the attrocities are to be ignored...

While I personally don't get the appeal of wrestling, I accept that some people get enjoyment out of it. However beyond losing them some money (tickets, merchandise) the harm in this case is minimal.

For psychics and religion? not so much. People who blindly take what they are told as the truth may make life defining decisions based on the "advice" given. In some cases the outcome may be benign or even positive, but in most cases a real persons action are influenced by statements not grounded in reality. So overall it is valid to call out these "services" as fraudulent IMO.

It was from a famous photographer and it was cheap. Sounds like a good deal to me.

I'm aware of at least one research project[1] which is currently prototyping Terahertz communications in the range of several hundred Gbps over distances of several meters.

I got that it's enjoyable for OP - but it would bug the hell out of me. I found this difference surprising.

Ha, literal rage against a machine! I find it interesting that you enjoy injecting artificial anxiety into your life. In contrast, I try to continuously minimize minor daily annoyances.

I'm sorry but what is the point of this article? TL;DR Alsa is buggy? Ubuntu terminal is better than iTerm?

> And you fail to mention other projects preceding you on this same exact topic, much less discuss the pros and cons of your approach vs previous approach(es).

I think the issue isn't the recreation/repackaging but the omission of an honest discussion of how the new approach differs or what is done differently.

Wow - equally impressed that this works at all and that we live in a world where such convoluted way to access content for free has emerged.

I liked the concise way the story was told - the text was short, to the point, without much fluff. On the other hand, I was actually a bit annoyed by the whole comic thing: why is a comic necessary to present a rather simple idea to an adult - tt felt kind of condescending. The drawings didn't really add anything to the story, and I found the animations distracting. ...now get off my lawn :)

The ETSI NGP ISG[1] is looking at next generation protocols, also in the context of 5G.

"This ISG is seen as a transitional group i.e. a vehicle for the 5G community (and others of interest) to first gather their thoughts and prepare the case for the Internet community’s engagement in a complementary and synchronised modernisation effort."

The efforts seems to be in an quite early stage for now (architecture, models, requirements, etc).

I personally don't see TCP/IP going anywhere with 5G, but we may see more parallel deployments of protocols within isolated 5G network slices.

"U.S. and EU officials also have accused..." "...It wasn't immediately clear if the arrests are somehow linked to these allegations."

Then why bring this up?

In its most basic form it just requires a key file and an algorithm. But I agree that more complex operations need some DB.

Makes sense, from a usability PoV, thanks.

I've been wondering is there any disadvantage in using password hashers (either as plugins like [0] or standalone) for generating safe passwords? It seems like a great idea to me, yet most people here seems to be prefer full blown PW manager apps or even online services for this. Am I missing something?

If you're on Mac you can have a look at the excellent MacDown (http://macdown.uranusjr.com/) - which is also open source.

The site doesn't seem to be legit - there was a big reddit thread on r/photography yesterday: this post [0] sums it up, and actually links to the actual Harvard course.

Noooo! are you aware of any third party binaries?

> after manually flashing a modded BIOS by soldering chip programming hardware

I would classify this as a hack rather than "can be installed"

As a colorblind person, I am told that it is not...

How do you assume that the information isn't useful? That implies that all your valuables are fully isolated from the digital world - really? I really have trouble understanding the "I have nothing to hide" attitude. What's the difference to saying "there is this guy always standing in the corner of my living room, but I'll just assume he's benign..."

Great, now I have to assume that my team has been infiltrated by a bunch of CIA agents...
