TeddyBear060··on Matrix and Riot Confirmed as the Basis for France’s Secure Instant Messenger App
You're totally right. But it's a step forward anyway. Perhaps that hardware will come after.

Thanks, I understand but those communications are not supposed to be accessible. This tool will be used by top level gouvernement employees.

What do you mean ?

I don't know yet a lot about Matrix but it's a wonderful step forward for government independence.

Great to read this kind of news!

I can't wait to see the end product (this summer 2018) :)

Great work! Thanks for sharing.

When I ask users to input some secret strings like passwords, tokens, etc..., I use getpass (https://docs.python.org/2/library/getpass.html). It's available for both Pyhton 2 and 3.

By this way, if a bad person look at the terminal history he won't find clear text credentials passed as scripts arguments :)

Houra ! Such a great work... I love the USB applet (at top right once logged in).

Just plug your device and mount it into one of your VM. Really user friendly :-)

TeddyBear060··on Why the hell most Microsoft programs are still 32-bit by default?
Got it ;-)
TeddyBear060··on Why the hell most Microsoft programs are still 32-bit by default?
Thanks for sharing this interesting reading.

It makes sense.

> [...] most of the time, staying with 32-bit and reducing the amount of memory being consumed will have a much larger impact for both the application and the operating systems as a whole.

TeddyBear060··on Why the hell most Microsoft programs are still 32-bit by default?
Totally agree with the first part.

But, does a program can use more than 4GB of RAM if it's compiled in 32-bit and executed into a 64-bit environnement (with more than 4GB of memory)?

I imagine that the answer is between yes and no.

I imagine that you, as developer, can choose between limiting your program not to use more than 4GB or let the system (host) do the memory re-mapping job for you...

But what about reliability in this case?

TeddyBear060··on Why the hell most Microsoft programs are still 32-bit by default?
Ok. But what do you mean, that 64-bits programs are more buggy that 32-bits ones ? Or that company/developers are not yet confortable with releasing 64-bits versions of a program ? Or something else :-)
TeddyBear060··on Why the hell most Microsoft programs are still 32-bit by default?
Ok, but is it so complicated to test the computer arch in order to install the correct flavour?

You're right. I just listen to the first 4 minutes and it remains me this wonderful post.

For those who are interesting in "Minitel revival", a guy did some great job recreating a Minitel server !

I see. Thanks.

It sounds great. Thank you for the explanation.

Clever for sure. But I wonder how they can identify the leaked account even if they actively scan web / deep web. I mean it's not because Carlos Sanchez is for sale somewhere that it's my "insider".
TeddyBear060··on Password Algorithms
You can use ANPM, a web-based password generator algorithm. Just enter a platform name, a master key and a PIN and boum you obtain a brand new secure password.

It's free and you won't loose a minute again :-)

And what about a decentralized passwords manager. Just enter the platform name, your master key and a PIN and boum ! You got your password back :-)

It's free, fast and secure. Try ANPM:
