According to Burroughs: "A Virus from outer space"
>Unfortunately, most formats turned out to be broken even against very weak adversaries. For this reason, users should carefully consider whether a particular database format is acceptable for storing data in the cloud, on a USB drive or on a machine shared with other users.

Finally, our works shows that it is indeed possible to construct a format that provides security, usability and low computation and storage overhead, using standard cryptographic tools.

Thanks for all the informed info. I was just always weirded out when my browsers forced me to perform 2-4 clicks because of untrusted connections when visiting websites of say the CCC (who just switched to StartSSL apparently).

Or the CACert website itself.

Always seemed to me like some kind of joke.

Re:Our First Certificate Is Now Live on Tuesday September 15, 2015 @05:18AM (#10219658)
I still don't get why Mozilla and Google don't accept CACerts. Couldn't a lot of this be solved by just removing the warnings?

Re:Unnecessary OS X System Processes on Tuesday August 04, 2015 @12:28PM (#10004430)
If anyone has resources or is willing to share his knowledge of OS X System Daemons and Agents - spotting and unloading the unnecessary ones is the main aspect of my dotfiles[1], but resources are often elusive, outdated or plain inaccurate guesswork, the whole process usually takes a lot of reading binary metadata and sometimes plain trial & error (and consequent occassional frustration).

But then I managed to saved around 2 GB of Ram just by unloading Daemons.

If anyone is interested to chip in, thankful for any link or suggestion.

Massive Attack, Brian Eno, Mitch Murder come to mind, otherwise this Tr(h)ip Hop Mix Tape did me quite well lately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGNlTvIbjLo

Otherwise a nice Nicolas Jaar[1] set?
