nvr82on Why I don't use social media

Forums and places like Reddit are something I enjoy using. While they are a social media platforms, but they are different. They have real, useful content and often very interesting discussions too.

Agreed. There's definitely room for improvement.

Steel is not rolling it's own crypto. It uses AES in cfb mode as implemented by libmcrypt.

nvr82on Show HN: Open source password manager for GNU/Linux

Version number is 0.2 so yes it has less features than KeepassX. There will be more features in the near future. This was just really "release early, release often"-kind of thing.

This book is pretty nice and interesting. Written by Eric Raymond. http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/

nvr82on Memo: Open-source note-taking software with hack value

I'm the author of Memo.

First of all it's nice to see Memo here in Hacker News. Memo started simply because I wanted note taking program for the command line. I never thought that it will become fairly popular as it is now.

Your bash completion is actually a great idea. I will start implementing it in the near future. It shouldn't be too hard to do and it will Memo much more nice to use. Thanks!

nvr82on Butterfly Player – Open-source music player for Windows

Oh... Wrong. Not everything needs to be cross platform. I wanted to make a native Windows program using C++ and WTL/Winapi. It has nothing to do with skills in programming. The only reason I did not make a Linux version of Butterfly is because I didn't want to. I've done portable programs for years. I use Linux every single day on my laptop. I don't even know why I'm trying to explain. Butterly is open source, GPL and can be used for free of charge. It's available for platforms I want it to be available. Feel free to create versions for other platforms or use some other music player that works on the operating system you want.

I'm the author. I know it's quite lame, that the source code is not on Github. It will be.

nvr82on Is it worth selling software on Ubuntu Software Centre?

Thank you for you comment. This kind of comments I was looking for.

What I've been looking into this today...It seems that it's not really worth it, as you said. I would kind of want it to worth it, maybe some day it will be.
