Interesting that they used Google+ and Twitter for this meetup, when those tools are proprietary in nature, and have DRM features.

Obviously, most of us here use IRC with OTR or SILC

But I agree with jfasi. You have a better chance making a drama video playing with pathos (maybe have a pet or child be affected by the issue of breaking DRM), than this discussion barely anyone saw. Maybe they should have announced this earlier?

Thanks thomasfromcdnjs, for the link.


> IRC with OTR

I'm terribly sorry for off-topic, but it really interests me. I've never seen OTR on IRC or XMPP except for private (one-to-one) conversations. Could you go into some details, please?

As far as I know, OTR only works with two parties talking in private. Is there a mature, cryptographer-vetted multiparty OTR protocol with ready-to-use desktop software implementations out there?

The properties that interest me are secure authentication, acceptable forward secrecy and deniable encryption. I.e. I want to be sure I'm chatting with my friends, and if they don't keep logs what was said would stay only between us and the only thing external observer could say is that we had exchanged some information.


Isn't this entire article illegal?

Whatever. Satoshi-san can sue if he likes. The damage done in the article alone is devastating for even persecution charges.


No. Those laws only make it illegal to release information, or insufficiently protect it, in a legal relationship of trust and guardianship (and to gather such information by pretending to be party to such a relationship). No such relationship exists here, and unless a SSN (or equivalent protected identifier) was released, it's merely ethically questionable, not illegal.


Even if it was, lawsuits are entirely public, and filing and litigating one would result in exponentially more publicity than this article has already given him.


High Five. And with PEFS, there's no comparison: https://github.com/glk/pefs

I just use SSH or stunnel w/ a SQL database with procedures built in.


This is kinda against the REST architecture, so I'll stick stick with my customized org-mode script.


We kinda had this talk, but it proved useless, since most users hardly change habits (the real reason to µ$ Word stagnation): http://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1mt8a5/nearly_everyon...

Even IE6.


I am surprised no one has talked about the QGMLWY Layout, or the fully English optimized QFMLWY layout?:

Take not of the script you can download to pipe your scripts to, and learn what is the best layout you actually need:

http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx/?requirements

Here's a list of them:

http://deskthority.net/wiki/Keyboard_layouts

There was another that was truly optimized for use Coders, that is not Dvorak based. It had the Option key (⌥) as part of its modifiers. I assume it was called something like the coders layout? I don't recall. If any one can recall it, that would be awesome.


I used it for some time and I quite liked it, more than Colemak. I was reaching 80-90 wpm (I'm about 140-150 wpm on QWERTY). However English is not my native language and since QGMLWY is optimized for English, it wasn't a viable alternative for me in long run. Interestingly, even though I quit typing on QGMLWY long ago, when I occassionally switch to that layout (I still have it installed), I'm able to type on it. Muscular memory dies hard. I do make typos, but I feel that if I returned to practice, I'd pick it up again quickly.


BTW, if anyone is looking for alternative web browsers that you can truly control, and have some of the defaults set for privacy:

Web Browsers GUI: Dooble, GNU IceCat, Luakit, NetSurf, Web/Epiphany (Galeon), Dillo, Amaya (for authoring), Swiftweasel, Conkeror, Arora, Midori, rekonq, Kazehakase

My GUI picks: xombrero, Uzbl, surf (with tabbed, it is amazing), dwb, jumanji

TUI Web browsers: w3m, elinks, links2, Links, Linkx, lynx, cURL, ed browser, wget

In the future, I wish to have a browser that maps all the cached files, per page you are viewing, with each of the domains, IP address, and the WebSockets connections it makes. Whether it be tree mapped, or tabular, it would be awesome to have a browser monitors all network event and files live, while you are viewing a page, maybe in a tile/window somewhere. For now, we have Jails we can open on the fly, with a new browser instance on each, connected to the custom firewall rules, that opens a page per domain. When done with the page, we get rid of the jail instance.


Exactly! Or for that matter have clients develop handles for themselves on topics they want, and the advertisers just Multicast the relevant information to the users that have those tags. No need to GUID tracking.
