Eunon If you opened your PayPal account before you were 18, close it

Had the same issue last month after reciving a $3000 bug bounty. PP limited my account I uploaded a copy of my id, bing -> banned.

However: After calling them, they told me to create a new account and verify it with the CC and bankaccount (that were in old acc). And as soon everything was verified they trasfered the money to the new account.

So apparently it seems not to be that difficult to get your money.

Eunon The Mac Pro Lives

Window management in OSX is horrible.

Finder is even more horrible. It reminds me of the Windows 95 Explorer. A network drive hangs? Good luck with Finder..., the whole system halts.

Eunon Ask HN: What do you want to see in Ubuntu 17.10?

Eunon Show HN: Privacy-focused, ad-free, non-tracking torrent search engine

Agreed here, the site is using a backend and who knows what this backend is tracking. It should be a static site and open source, so we can verify the claims.

Eunon Godaddy has issued at least 8850 SSL certificates without validating anything

Eunon MicroG Project: A re-implementation of Google's Android apps and libraries

There were some attempts years ago, the author implemented the same stuff as MicroG does now, I wonder if MicroG is forked...

However 3 years ago I was super excited and got the Alternative Google Store (I think it was BlankStore) installed. It crashed randomly and I was not able to download any App. However I thought that the author would work on it and in some time it would be useable.

Still waiting for that day.

That's why I'm a bit pessimistic about this project...

A better way would be to implement a true container/vm system so google only knows what is in this container, no contacts, no calendar, no mails. Heck, maybe it's even possible to link into that container for the host system apps.

Eunon Frequent password changes are the enemy of security

True in some points. Password rotation is bad. But isn't it better to rotate a bad password than keeping a bad password?

Furthermore if you have a internal system, the administrator should enforce certainly password conditions. They could even forbid the use of old passwords...

Eunon Frequent password changes are the enemy of security

I am a bit shocked, that they want to keep old passwords. Imagine some hacker gains access to a username - password list. But leeks it a half year later (yes that had happened). Since you never changed the password every buyer has access to your account. But, if you would have changed your password, even a minor change, the attackers will ignore your account since they have (usually) a lot of other accounts to try. And why brother with the ones that doesn't work?

Password changing gives an advantage even if it's just a minor change. Keep that in mind.
