I think it would be much appreciated if this software could be released as open source.

How did the user space redirection handle potentially high spikes of execve's?

And btw, thanks for all the years of debian-administration.org.

Is this essentially gamification of getting (and selling) users private information?

Mental performance information is as private as it gets.

While this post is from years ago, it is very relevant today; Lumosity has been incessantly advertising through NPR and I was actually thinking looking into them.

I had hopes that perhaps this is for pay app and was considering how to handle app privacy. Clearly not going to happen.

I doubt. Here is another approach: http://erlangonxen.org/

No, this is theregister link for: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8056070 . So it's more likely repost fatigue.

This time the source of the problem is poorly written PHP code. It's still in my list of tabs to finish reading.

It's surreal to realize that I played KoBra 20 years ago. I still log in at times and keep in touch with a friend who I knew then.

I wish MUDs would have done better because interactive text games would provide much needed variety for brains that the currently graphics dominated games.

KoBra?

Tinc's problematic protocol (security wise) killed it for me before. For example, it didn't have pfs.

It seems that with 1.1pre3 or 4 they have gotten a new, experimental protocol. Hopefully it is an improvement.

Who was the owner of Skype before Microsoft? I think those parties are more connected than meets the eye.

Could you be more specific how would those archives help?

Btw, thank you for the boundary devices link. The only weakness against Utilite is one Ethernet nic vs two.

Would it be possible have the source of those plugins open?

However one wants to define 'directly from the servers of' or 'direct access' I think for all intents and purposes it means the same thing.

I would like to also include ECDHE ciphers but I'm having a hard time coming up with a line that does not include ECDH. Any ideas?

People from Iran would disagree. Something should also be said about problems of CAs security.

You should show them this snippet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM7HQ_zbdIw#t=8m00s

But yeah, until they see negative results, I doubt majority is going to start caring.

They are weak on bandwidth side. Other than that, what they offer is great.

I hope you can reveal more details of how you are going to accomplish what you've set out to do in the site.

In general, technically minded people who care about privacy like to see these kinds of solutions in open source form or there will be heavy resistance to trust it.

That is broadly the reason why I don't have the Kindle, for example.

EA has in its bowels made a choice that Sim City fans will become its new cash cow. They will be now free to sell you the game and turn it off when they choose that releasing another version is more profitable. They easily could have allowed the game to function without inputs from neighboring areas or could have simulated it.

As a Sim City fan I am deeply disappointed since I have fond memories playing the game from the very first release. But these days I have chosen to only support and reward companies who do not make relationship with their customers a power play.

Considering how quickly e-mail privacy is starting to get into lawmakers agenda after Patreus' fiasco I think this would have great consequences. Of course this implies nsa being open in return - that won't happen.

Somewhere I read a quote: People under surveillance, are already imprisoned.

The first step is to understand that one is under surveillance.

I agree that they are not keeping everything.

I've looked at my own traffic and how much content useful for storing I'd have and it's probably less than 500Mbytes per month. And that's counting downstream and upstream.

But net is not the only thing NSA is interested in storing - banking, other records, communications over satellites, etc goes in there as well.

What's truly scary is people are sort of "meh" about this. Or they don't believe that this is really happening, as most of this thread seems to be the case in point.

> No, I'm just interested if his behavior is significantly different from those around him that are ignorant. Because for me, it's not. And if that's true in the general case,

A very important point to discuss. While I don't know specifically his change of behavior there are more widely known cases to discuss.

For example Soviet Union and East Germany. I can tell you that the behavior of people was different, especially on the phone where part of the surveillance took place. Youth, being mostly ignorant about that in some cases got their parents in trouble which in turn affected parents' behavior at home.

I think the takeaway from these and other cases is that public's change of behavior is function of security services' activities (corrupt or not). All it takes is several known cases of visits from the authorities about things one said over the voip or im conversation. Or the authorities pressuring their catch for money or cooperation in unrelated case to 'help them out'.

I also think this directly affects how free we feel. If we would constantly have to guard what we write in e-mails as to not to be remotely connected to what might be seen as mentioning the current enemy of choice, then some freedom is lost.

Yes, unless you mean something different, here are articles about it: http://www.dns-sd.org/TrailingDotsInDomainNames.html

Hi, I've noticed that ezcrypt has started out started out on github but hasn't gotten past the first readme. Can anything be done to help it be fully published?

But ezcrypt.it's source doesn't seem to be released, which would be nice.

Not exactly unless I missed their project page where they released their source. I'd be very glad if it existed somewhere.

I'd add https://ixquick.com to the list.

Also, using a search engine directly is not the same thing as using it through one of these intermediaries (especially while logged in).

Mormons also have their requirement to read Book of Mormon and pray daily. I'd caution to be really careful what information one chooses to reprogram their mind in that manner. You may end up believing or living by ideas that have no bearing on reality.

Does the university's workstations have publicly accessible ip? Do you have admin right to run vpn type of service on it? If so you can run OpenVPN in p2p mode (with no remote option it just listens on a given lport). All application traffic (rdp, freenix, tightvnc, etc) goes over the tunnel.

As far as the slowness is concerned it might be due to the software that you're using to look at the remote screen. I know tightvnc can go across cable modem type of isp connection well. But don't expect it to be superfast. UltraVNC is good too, but it's not interoperable with tightvnc and it is Windows only.

"Just like you should not run untrusted software, you should not install hardware provided by untrusted sources."

This is harder than it sounds. Remember when it came out that secret service had a secret deal with printer manufacturers to print identifiable small dots? Consumer level home routers or wifi APs should be approached with the same level or trust. And the vulnerability does not have to be necessarily intentional.

Note the latest PR attempt by HFCS manufacturers to re-brand it as Corn Sugar. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100914/ap_on_bi_ge/us_corn_syru... Clever, since if it reads 'sugar' on the label it's easier to be overlooked.
