I vaguely recall Bruce Schneier saying that there is good evidence that the NSA cannot crack certain encryption methods. At the time, RSA was on the list. Maybe common methods mean roll-your-own corporate encryption, but it's my understanding that GNUpg and similar software are safe.

 
 

Folks, I need a hobby. I'm a C programmer who has lost his passion for programming, it seems. I've decided to try to spark my passion again by going back to the basics, perhaps by creating a programming tutorial Wikibook, for modern applications.

The trouble is, I cannot decide if I should make C or Rust my programming language of choice.

I use C all the time, and have barely any experience in Rust.

Do I go with ol' reliable and risk being outdated in a few years, or go with the new language and risk being too niche and unpopular?

 

Hey everyone, I'm going insane due to a lack of creative project. I've written an app already but I haven't gotten around to publishing it yet. I'd like to know what kind of apps you'd like to see created for mobile Linux. I prefer easier, bite-sized projects over particularly large ones, but I'd love to hear your ideas nevertheless.

 

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know about a crowdfunding campaign I'm doing for a mobile Linux sleep tracking app. Please tell me what you think!

@[email protected] Honestly, that's a pretty sweet idea!

What you really mean is a fully free software e-book reader with copies of fantastic public domain works as provided by Project Gutenberg?? I sincerely agree!

Y'know, I'd sure be willing to reread The Great Gatsby!

This is the truest and most correct answer, but it comes with a huge drawback!

Awh, self esteem is important little man, don't beat yourself up!

All or nothing thinking, also known as “Black-and-White Thinking,” is a common cognitive distortion that manifests as an inability or unwillingness to see the shades of gray, or the more complex picture. In other words, you see things in terms of extremes – something is either fantastic or awful, you believe you are either perfect or a total failure.

 

You're twelve years old on Thanksgiving at six thirty in the morning. You'll be leaving for Grandma's in about a half hour, and she's lives a three hour drive away, going in one direction. You have nothing to prepare yourself on this journey, other than a tablet running Android Eleven. Beware, the speaker is broken and there is no headphone jack. Google Play complains that the device isn't certified or whatever, but that isn't going to stop you from downloading apps from third party websites using the family computer. Plus, you have one great advantage: F-droid is installed and ready to rock.

You must hurry, because you wont have an internet connection once you hit the road. Quick, what apps do you install? You have 128GiB's at your disposal.
