This only illustrates the point that centralizing server infrastructure and operations in one jurisdiction can quickly backfire.


Why do you think asciidoc is better than Markdown? Serious question as quick skim over the homepage (https://asciidoctor.org/) and it looks just like Markdown with different sigils.



That's what I was looking for, thanks!


One of the main failings of markdown (for me) is it's lack of expressiveness, always forcing us to revert to html to get certain things done.

Markdown's great for simple readme, or if you don't need to (say) right align an image, of apply a class to a paragraph (eg. To turn it into an inset).

While I personally prefer textile (which is a deader dodo than asciidoc), they are both able to do significantly more than markdown.

I look at the problem as: if markdown forces me to write html, then I may as well use html...

(Ps: in textile "> hello world" at the start of a line sets right alignment, "=" for justified, "p.inset#my_id hello world" applies an "inset" class to the para and gives it the id "my_id". Asciidoc is similar, but I'm not familiar enough with it to write it on my phone just now)


Arch Linux, AsciiDoc, git - sounds great! But why keybase? (Serious question, I wonder if it's for communication or sharing encrypted data or...)


Some of our documents contain confidential details (personal data, client confidential details). Keybase provides a filesystem (kbfs), accessible by authorized individuals, with team management, and git repositories for recording history.

It seems Santa struck back the original issue author: https://github.com/Christian-Schiffer/servicelayer.chat/issu...


Not just on GitHub. Christian wrote up a huge response to the issue spam here: https://github.com/Christian-Schiffer/SignalRAngularMVC6/iss...

Basically sounds like his entire online presence is being roasted by 4chan.


>One would think that developers at the very least would have some deductive reasoning, so using the n and k word against me, when my profile picture and name clearly show I am neither

I don't think this person understands that part of the internet...


That's incredibly lame


Definitely not surprising that he is now being trolled in the same way. As the saying goes, "live by sword, die by the sword".


Github should ban all these accounts and try to track the real accounts for the fakes to ban these too. These intolerant people should not have the right to use this service.

And mpv with "hwdec=vaapi" in ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf


The post is well-written and summarizes I think most major pain-points with PGP.

Comparison of all these tools to GnuPG is valid and it clearly shows not only implementation problems but design ones as well in gpg.

What I fear is future riddled with all these incompatible tools. Even if they're written by brilliant engineers and cryptographers they are not standards (e.g. IETF standards). Why is that important? For example rewriting libsignal from scratch (for example to publish it under permissive licenses) can be problematic [0].

Having to log in to Google just to read a message on a mailing list always creeps me out. Every time I see it it looks like a phishing attempt :-/


Could you explain? Google groups do not require login, just opened in private window.


If you've already signed to Google but your session is stale it automatically redirects to login screen.

In private window it just works but still I consider the design of checking login on a page that doesn't require it quite bad.


I'm really surprised Google Groups hasn't been killed or given a major makeover. It's just awful.


It is


> I have my own domain, so maybe OPENPGPKEY record in my domain as well

> DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) Bindings for OpenPGP

WKD has some benefits over OPENPGPKEY - it keeps the request confidential (as WKD uses plain HTTPS). WKD is just easier to get right, that's why it's more broadly supported. GnuPG, that supports both of them, defaults to WKD. If OPENPGPKEY request is made it seems GnuPG doesn't even validate DNSSEC signatures: https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2011-December/...
