Hours? Could you elaborate a bit what exactly you mean with "by hand"? I'm probably not thinking manually enough, I can't come up with what could possibly that time intensive about any deployment.

That's not the case, and it would be utterly unusable for 90% of users.

Awesome, can't wait to upgrade tonight! Any news on the Linux / CLI version?

In that case I guess my trouble with your point of view lies not with the "at some point" phrase but rather with the generalization implied by "any discussion". That argument is almost always used against people who complain about spoilers, and sadly it's often insultingly non-understanding. I'm not saying that all discussion are spoilers. While my personal wish is to not know anything about a movie before seeing it (which I have never regretted afterwards, by the way – the opposite, having advance knowledge, has not hurt the experience always, but it has never ever improved it), I realize that this is hard to achieve and requires me to take care of that, not everyone else. As you mention, that would impose too much of a burden on everyone else.

But that does not mean there is not still a lot of stuff that really should be considered spoilers, and the complaints about these should not be brushed off just because you think I expect you to not mention anything about a movie. I think it's a very valid criticism when the article in question reveals something that even the trailers kept unknown by never showing that person, without any need for it in the context of the article. It's like saying "The Sixth Sense, where he was dead all along, was quite good, I loved the cinematography." a week after that movie was released. While I personally would not have wanted to know about the cinematographical quality either, I realize I can't complain about hearing something like that when reading a review or when I'm not fleeing a discussion of the movie quickly enough. I never would complain about that. But I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be pretty annoyed to read said plot detail in an article about e.g. "The decline of quality in M. Night Shyamalan movies" a week after that movies release.

To sum it up: I agree with your basic point, but I think too often people that are fine with spoilers don't care about the fact that other people have a different level of acceptance and when confronted with that simply resort to saying "Well, it's silly to have this level of acceptance."

OP didn't seem outraged to me, just a bit disappointed. Which I understand, because "at some point" is still far away for the new Star Wars movie. I do think that any discussion of a movie is a spoiler. It depends, but from friends I don't even want to know if they liked a movie or not as I know them and their taste so well that I will deduce things which will influence my experience. I want my experience as pristine as possible, which is hard enough without articles mentioning tiny details about plots that they just don't need to mention for the point they are making.

Very cool, can't wait!

I'd also be interested in this. Would love such a button that could connect via WiFi or generic BT on a Raspberry Pi or something like that, rather than a smartphone with a specific app.

iTerm2 does something like that? How/what? I've been using it for years and never heard of that, looks like once again I've been missing out on something incredibly useful for way too long. :)

Anyone know of something (remotely) like this for (self-hosted) GitLab?

That's the best news I've read in a while, thank you. Looking forward to it very much!

Would you consider also creating a linux, preferably CLI, version?

I'd love to get GPS tracks for the german railway system, been looking for something like that forever. Good luck with and thanks for your efforts!

linix admins?

Indeed. I only learned recently just how rampant – not even half of the copies of a "App Store best of the year" game were bought. (https://twitter.com/ustwogames/status/552136427904184320) I wouldn't even have imagined so many people would even jailbreak their phones anymore.

There are many, many crimes where the victim has to press charges for any prosecution to happen, and copyright infringement most certainly should be one of those.

I have to admit that I had not checked that, but I think Dexter's intro is really the same and the changing cast lists appear during the first scenes afterwards. But for most shows you're right, that would be another reason why it could never work.

I tend to agree with you, but the article wasn't supposed to be very technical in the first place, and: both those GIFs are from Dexter, the show of which I used a season in my tests. It's not completely unrelated.

I guess you missed the part where I say almost the exact same thing as you just did, i.e. that I did never expect it to work?

Yep, it does. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/01/bitrot... has a pretty nice overview.

The files are not encrypted. I mention the aspect of doing it with files that are already compressed and that I never expected it to work for that very reason. I just wanted to to for once actually do it and I don't see why you need to get so mad about that.

dewey is correct, DRM/encryption is not the issue.

I don't mind creating an account, but I'd let users try the product without one. I don't want to go through signing up – no matter if via OAuth or creating a dedicated account – just to find out the product doesn't suit me due to some details I could not find out by the page or video. Unless absolutely unreasonable, I think you should always allow users to test your product anonymously.

This issue is so universally known by now that it's almost insulting for you to even question it as "drivel". How can you be not aware of these issues?
