kiproping··on Ubuntu on Windows
> All of your Windows drives, like C: are mounted read/write directly under /mnt.

Its the real deal lads, congratulation Microsoft.

kiproping··on The New Mind Control – The internet has spawned subtle forms of influence
Reddit is very anti-trump, and liberal. Most reputable media companies in the western world are liberal. Do you have an example of a website like huffpo or buzzfeed quoting reddit about how awesome that beautiful pepe gif of trumps train with no brakes is?

Any trump content is heavily downvoted on reddit. Just click on controversial posts on reddit, filter for today or the whole week, one subreddit will be most prominent.

Its all the rage now.
kiproping··on Study Finds No Gender Gap in Tech Salaries
Wow, you are trying to hard!
kiproping··on Why Are So Many Animals Homosexual?
If the facts don't happen to conform to the narrative, offense is meaningless.
kiproping··on Fish Shell Design Principles
It breaks many bash one-liners and other commands, today I discovered I cant `git merge HEAD@{1}` because fish shell strips the curly braces. Its good but it can be quite annoying sometimes.
kiproping··on How Wired Is Going to Handle Ad Blocking
The best/funniest solution for problems like these is showing cats and dogs with a Nickolas Cage face, instead of ads for those who have ad-blockers. There is a site that uses this technique,(8muses .com NSFW), those images are so distracting you just have to disable ads. It's hilarious.
kiproping··on No POST after rm -rf /
This is what I hate. This whole attack the employer for the employees opinion. This is backward and disgusting. This is the same tactic used by tumblr and twitter in their witch-hunts against people who have an opinion they don't like. It's despicable.
kiproping··on An ‘SMS Center’ with Python, Kannel and a GSM Modem
Nice article, I am also a dev working in health related projects in Kenya. This will be invaluable as we just got a project for improving maternal healthcare in rural Kenya.

On another note, hope you are safe in Burundi, I hear its chaotic over there.

kiproping··on M-Pesa – a mobile-phone based money transfer and microfinancing service
As a Kenyan I use it for many transactions, its really nice. The next frontier though is banks adopting the M-Pesa model. Equity bank, one of the largest and most popular bank in Kenya is issuing sim-cards (it's an MVNO) which can be connected to it's bank accounts, as opposed to M-Pesa where a mobile service provider(Safaricom) is holding the money. This allows more flexibility for both the bank and the customer. The mobile money landscape is changing rapidly.
kiproping··on Of kimono and cultural appropriation
Cultural appropriation is one of the many words coming out of the far left. I never thought that the left could be radical.

I guess that's why it's important to have neither the right nor the left take the hold on power for too long.

kiproping··on Tracking a Bluetooth Skimmer Gang in Mexico (Part I)
Criminals do not care for sophistication nor gimmicks. They use the easiest way to get what they want. This current method has probably worked very well for them, and if it was not for 'Krabs' maybe it would have continued for even longer. Hindsight is 20/20. I am sure the criminals are reading the blog post and looking for the next slightly better method just enough to evade discovery.
kiproping··on WordPress base configuration files on GitHub
I got it too, I think its flagged because some people crawl google with those search terms looking for vulnerable systems.
kiproping··on Firefox exploit found in the wild
How can I disable this.
kiproping··on GitHub threatens to shut down a repository for using the word 'retard'
1. Fork the repo 2. Revert SJW bullshit 3. ??? 4. Profit

kiproping··on Hackers build a new Tor client designed to beat the NSA
I tend to prefer links from the actual researchers if available other than links from news sites. Just a general observation.
