>Hoping for early access to BitTorrent’s first serverless chat client? We have good news. Today, we will begin letting testers try out the Pre-Alpha. We are also unveiling its name: BitTorrent Bleep. Why Bleep, you might ask? Well, basically, we never see your messages or metadata. As far as we’re concerned, anything you say is “bleep” to us.
It already looks better than Tox in pre-Alpha and they don't even need an email address to get an account when it goes stable.
Seriously, this already looks like a better Skype alternative than Tox based on what has been shown so far.
Video calls, offline messaging and Linux/Mac ports are coming, and the UI makes uTox look like shit.

Tox is kill. It's inevitable now.
All /g/-created projects are destined to die. Period.

Why is Mr Sheckleburg still trying to market 50GB Blu-Ray discs when a better alternative has been around for years?

what do you mean? Ever touched one of those platters? They are incredibly sensitive

Why does the NSA consider Linux Journal to be an extremist publication?
On July 3, 2014 ARD revealed that XKeyscore is used to closely monitor users of the Tor anonymity network, people who search for privacy-enhancing software on the web, and readers of Linux Journal.
http://www.linuxjournal.com
XKEYSCORE (abbreviated as XKS) is a formerly secret computer system first used by the United States National Security Agency for searching and analyzing Internet data it collects worldwide every day. The program has been shared with other spy agencies including...

>Why does the NSA consider Linux Journal to be an extremist publication?
Because they did a shitty job of automatic classification. Nothing I've read suggests that was an intentional decision, it sounds more like a fuck-up.
Which scenario is scarier, I'll leave up to you.
>>43321986
Because Linux is Free Open Source Software.
Open source which means not centralized which is what the government fears.
They fear what they can't control which is why they're trying to create their surveillance state.
People in power are 99.99% likely to be a complete piece of shit control freak.

So you thought hartblead was bad !!!
A group of researchers have reverse engineered USB controller firmware to make USB devices run undetectable processes in the background.
Here's the kicker. The tampered USB device can infect the computer, and it can find other USB devices that have a reprogrammable controller chip and infect them to spread the mayhem.
Mouse, keyboard, HDD, flash drives, hubs. All things USB can be hijacked at a firmware level.
What do you guys think of this big security flaw in the USB standard?

My x200 arrived yesterday, it's lovely.
Have installed a minimalist gentoo, need to set up x windows when I get in from work
>>43308036
How do I get better battery life on x200?
I installed both tlp and powertop and still don't get anything near the ~10 hours people on here brag about. I'm running xubuntu, btw.
>>43308876
It may be that the battery is in bad condition.

>Unpaid internship
>Previous experience required
I don't know of any other line of work that requires unpaid experience before you can even get an entry level position for minimum wage.
I understand unpaid internships but how can they even require that you have previous experience? I thought the purpose for an intern was to gain experience they don't have.

How do you guys survive without using google?
I tried going without it for a month and it just seems too difficult. It's like the internet just doesn't work as well without it...
1)What alternative browser to use on Win8?
2)What alternative browser to use on Android?
3)How to not have to use a google account for the Play Store?

What do you mean by "your password"? Don't tell you you're still reusing passwords.
>>Unfortunately, it's still unclear what "affected" includes. We know the attack looked for users who fetched hidden service descriptors, but the attackers likely were not able to see any application-level traffic (e.g. what pages were loaded or even whether users visited the hidden service they looked up). The attack probably also tried to learn who published hidden service descriptors, which would allow the attackers to learn the location of that hidden service. In theory the attack could also be used to link users to their destinations...

Isn't this the type of attack people have been warning us is possible for quite some time now?

I truly don't understand why people would do this. TOR is a great tool to remain anonymous but there are always cunts to ruin it for the rest.
Why don't you use a solar-powered laptop?
I don't mean a shitty laptop with built-in solar panels for hipsters to buy, but I mean a good laptop (like a ThinkPad or MacBook) with an external solar array. You can even build your own to match the power requirements of your laptop.
because I don't go outside and I'd rather have a solar powered air conditioner

Look at all that power inneficiency

Most power would've lost as heat in that setup.
