Re:Show HN: Kestrel – Secure File Encryption

This has a number of advantages over GPG. In general, it provides better default security without having to fumble to pick the right options with GPG.
For example:
In order to get sender authentication in GPG, you have to sign the message. GPG doesn't do this by default when encrypting a message, but you can choose to add a signature. But even if you do sign the message, GPG provides non-repudiation which means that you can no longer deny that you sent the message. Kestrel provides sender authentication while preserving deniability.
There are a number of other strong security guarantees that are provided by Kestrel's use of the noise protocol. There is more info on some of those properties here [1]

If your app is in a Docker container, you need to have some way to mount a persistent volume for the database. AWS Fargate and fly.io both offer storage volumes.

It will install the .deb because they don’t have snap in Pop OS.

I tried Jekyll and hated it. I didn’t find a static site generator I liked until I found Ivy.

I use it for all my sites now.

That idea sounds fantastic! I would definitely be interested. I'm sure I would end up spending a significant amount of time on the site.

That's weird. I'll look into a fix.
Edit: I couldn't reproduce this with Chromium on Ubuntu 16.10. I might set up an Arch Linux box to see if that makes a difference.

While Apple may not intentionally keep you from leaving their platform, a side effect of their tight integration is that it's harder to leave. Take the Apple Watch for example. Without an iPhone, the Apple Watch goes from a smartwatch to only being able to tell the time. Sure, you could own an Android phone and an Apple Watch, but you wouldn't get any of the benefits of the Apple Watch, which further ties customers to the iPhone.

Re:A note on the argument about the 'morality' of adblockers

I wish bitcoin could enable micro-payments like this. I would love to donate small (or large) amounts of money to websites that I found a useful answer on. Unfortunately, for this to be possible every website has to enable or provide a way for me to pay them (be it bitcoin or something else) and all of the end users also must have this same payment system set up, which will just never happen. I just wish there were a better way for content creators to make money than ads. A ubiquitous bitcoin type solution would definitely be a step in the right direction.

Jenny Kissed Me
by Leigh Hunt
Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in.
Time, you thief! who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in.
Say I'm weary, say I'm sad;
Say that health and wealth have missed me;
Say I'm growing old, but add-
Jenny kissed me!
