ninov··on Virginia has decertified its most hackable voting machines
Another important property of voting systems is that you can't prove who you voted for, so that you can't be forced or paid to vote for someone. A blockchain based solution, even like ZCash does not fulfil this.
ninov··on Let’s kill no-reply
Companies often use noreply@… as sender and add a real address as Reply-To so their staff does not have to deal with bounce messages.
ninov··on Txt.fyi
So, like 4chan but without images?
ninov··on Peter Todd (Bitcoin core dev) set up a SHA-1 “Pinata” and it's been claimed
Can everyone place a custom challenge in the Bitcoin blockchain?

Yeah it's getting investigated, but it's not looking like there will be any consequences.
ninov··on Reversing Go Binaries Like a Pro
Is this really how the names are represented internally? if so, how can it tell apart e.g. "github.com/group_name/package" and "github.com/group/name_package"?
ninov··on Show HN: Forgiva – Never saves your passwords but regenerates them
I wrote something similar some time ago: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/masterkey/ https://github.com/ninov/masterkey-firefox

Or as android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ninov.maste...

ninov··on The birth of the web
That's actually the complete form of a FQDN (full qualified domain name): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_qualified_domain_name#Sy...
ninov··on I included emoji in my password and now I can't log in to my Account on Yosemite
My bank (German "Sparkasse") only allows passwords with exactly 5 letters or numbers for their online banking. I asked why they're doing this, but didn't get a good response.
ninov··on First draft of the “tree of life” for the 2.3M named organisms released [pdf]
Direct link to Homo sapiens: http://tree.opentreeoflife.org/opentree/opentree3.0@776755/H... (loads even slower than the home page)
ninov··on Show HN: Interactive DOS prompt in an HTML5 canvas
I don't really get why you need to render this on a canvas. It's text only, you should be able to render this in pure HTML with some CSS.
ninov··on Taco Bell drops website, goes app-only
Am I the only one who's seeing that bad JPEG compression on these app download buttons?
