Not familiar with the lavabit story - how did his refusal cost users their privacy?

That is why I also said 50,000 public key operations per second.
Re:MEGAChat now includes end-to-end encryption on Saturday January 23, 2016 @12:22PM (#10959053)
The "don't roll your own crypto" mantra was created by the NSA to make people afraid to develop and deploy cryptography. See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwcl17Q0bpk

Are the JetIntelligence toners the ones that stop working after a certain date? That sounds very sketchy.

Can you elaborate?

Solution: block HTTP ads.

With AES-NI, a single modern CPU core can encrypt 10 gigabits/second and do about 50,000 public key operations per second. Cryptography is not that expensive.

I tried that, but I never got an easier captcha even after many attempts.
Re:Show HN: Scrawl on Sunday January 17, 2016 @05:20PM (#10921361)
Sadly this is what I see when I visit your site: https://anonm.gr/up/d654.png

I tried to solve the captcha several times, before giving up. This will happen to all users that try to visit your site using Tor.

This is what happens when you try to visit this site with Tor: https://anonm.gr/up/b386.png

Cloudflare's captchas are nearly impossible to solve, which means that Tor users are effectively blocked from seeing the site. Would you consider using something other than Cloudflare to host the site?

Will this work on OSX? I have been looking for a lightweight way to sandbox apps on OSX.
Re:How to run a Tor relay node for $10/mo on Wednesday January 13, 2016 @04:48PM (#10897818)
If you have a raspberry pi sitting around, you can contribute to the network by setting it up as a non-exit tor relay, which is completely safe.

Ask HN: How can we get porn sites to support HTTPS?

Most of the top porn sites do not support HTTPS, meaning the exact videos we watch (and our fetishes) are visible to our ISPs. Why haven't porn sites deployed HTTPS to protect this data? How can we convince porn sites that HTTPS is important and get them to deploy it?
