It's worth nothing that very few people run HVM guests on xen if they can avoid it. The performance hit is considerable. Most xen setups I have seen are PV guests with pygrub bootloader. Host is …

TLS1.2 for SMTP end-to-end is obviously a good thing, but it has its own problems aside from all of the crap we've been piling on top of SMTP for 20+ years (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, TLS1.2, etc) for ISP…

An effective barrier is making it IMPOSSIBLE for a government request for data to be fulfilled - such as end-to-end encryption where the intermediary never has the key, like Whatsapp has done. This is…

the placebo (and nocebo) effect is a hell of a thing

The people who do satellite SIGINT for non-five-eyes nations don't need to be told this, they already know. For listening to geostationary satellites it's fairly basic criteria, simply, be i…
