    Mozilla announces the death of unencrypted HTTP

    From an "open web" perspective, that is absolutely "forcing", in the form of extortion. If you don't comply with this X, you won't get Y. Anyhow, my take on this: http://cryto.net/~joepie91/blog/2015/05/01/on-mozillas-forced-ssl/ TL;DR This is a bad idea, and many things need to be fixed...

    Ghost.org: where the money went

    Having moved over to Node.js (after trying to move to Python as main language, and it not working out), it's probably the healthiest ecosystem I've run across. Semantic versioning almost across the board, very high average code quality, people are not afraid to refactor large amounts of code...

    Why Don't Providers Do This One Simple Thing ... To Make More Money?

    I can use my bank account to deposit money to my PayPal balance. Not sure if it's any different for CCs.

    Why Don't Providers Do This One Simple Thing ... To Make More Money?

    When I'm eg. going on a holiday, I usually just put in a ticket asking to pay ahead for a service. Most providers have no issue sending an invoice for a few months at once, in my experience.

    Thoughts on public shaming / blacklist of accounts in negative standing?

    I think he literally meant that they bought a web host from him, as in, a company.

    Server and domain monitoring tool I made

    Benchmarks please. If you consider choosing a database a "personal choice" rather than a technical decision, then that's a problem.

    Server and domain monitoring tool I made

    The 32-bits limit is dumb and purely a result of the design decisions made by the MongoDB developers (for "performance" - which as of yet is a completely unproven claim, as far as I am aware). Data loss was primarily because of poor default behaviour, and if the disregard for data integrity has...

    Server and domain monitoring tool I made

    I'd not recommend using MongoDB. is why.

    What browser are you using?

    If Chrome blocks it as malware, it is almost certainly malware. It uses data from Safe Browsing. Most likely, the thing you were trying to download contained bundled crapware.

    Looking for VPS in privacy oriented country.

    Yes, that's what they use it for, but it is largely misguided. It's a lot of hype, very little substance. For starters, laws are just words - with increasing evidence that governments around the world are basically ignoring laws, it doesn't really matter how good the laws are, you're going to be...

    Looking for VPS in privacy oriented country.

    The problem is that no matter what host you use or where they are located, you still have absolutely no guarantee or way to check that they are indeed "privacy-friendly". It could be a meaningless marketing bulletpoint for all you know - and usually, it is.

    What is your favorite forum / community software?

    Try typing something, and then pausing for a while. In the bar below the editor, a 'saved at <date>' text will appear. After reloading the page, you can click that bar to restore your post (it's not automatic). ... and of course that has now stopped working again.

    The draft saving feature just started working for me like an hour ago. @MannDude did you fix something?

    Thoughts on public shaming / blacklist of accounts in negative standing?

    Here you go: "I'm sorry, it was a stupid thing to do, I shouldn't have encouraged attacks towards Fran's network or clients." I've already told you this before, in public even. I don't really understand why you seem so insistent that I "refuse to apologize". Are you now going to claim that...

    Thoughts on public shaming / blacklist of accounts in negative standing?

    I'm sure one of those "chanops I told a sob story to" would have them. You make the claim, you provide the proof. Or do you expect to be blindly believed by everybody when practically every post that you've made in this thread contains at least one lie or misdirection? You seem to have...

    Thoughts on public shaming / blacklist of accounts in negative standing?

    I did, in a previous discussion. And it should be very clear from this thread by now, that that's not the case. You can keep repeating this, but it doesn't make it any more true. Aside from not seeing how this is in any way relevant, you might want to check your maths there. And again, it...

    Thoughts on public shaming / blacklist of accounts in negative standing?

    Which, again, never actually happened. And if you think it did, I'm sure you can provide logs of said events, right? Feel free to post them for all to see. I've made my statement about this before. If you believe that is insufficient, that's your choice - but get off your moral high horse...

    Thoughts on public shaming / blacklist of accounts in negative standing?

    Absolutely no deflection going on here, simply pointing out the bullshit you're floating and the underhanded tactics you've used on your side of the conflict. "Not hanging out with skids" - which, by the way, is a somewhat dubious claim given the... history of Frantech - is completely irrelevant...

    What is your favorite forum / community software?

    The problem is that IPB doesn't use something like Markdown, so you can't do "proper" quotes unless you use IPBs own editor, unfortunately.

    Thoughts on public shaming / blacklist of accounts in negative standing?

    And as expected, you don't even understand what part of your statement I'm refering to. For example, what exactly makes you think that Laurelai is my "ex"? And how exactly does "is a known skid affiliate" translates into "is a skiddy"? And how do you translate a clear admission that it wasn't a...
