That’s strange. A lot of people from Russia continue contributing on GitHub without any issues.

ICQ, MSN, Skype, and many others are laying on the cemetery, but IRC is still alive and active. Decentralized protocols ftw.

The one enabling people to understand and use their devices on their own.

CLI it is.

I’m not going to stop you. I just doubt that ranting under memes is going to leave a dent on the universe.

Oh, I understand. I just don’t expect a meme to solve the accessibility issues. People do use the CLI, they find it convenient, and there is no reason why they can’t make a meme with terminal commands. What I don’t understand is why you act like Linux or OP owe you something. We already have macOS, which offers a fantastic user experience, and we have Windows, which provides some middle ground. Let Linux be Linux. You can also create ‘memes with more accessibility’ if that’s what you think the issue is.

I ignore that part because it doesn’t pose a problem for the user. If you’re on a distro X, you know what command to type to install a package using its package manager. For the same reason, OP didn’t care to explain how to power on your computer. Or do you expect a meme to be a comprehensive guide on how to install sshfs on all major distros? Really? Maybe the real problem is that some people don’t understand what a meme is.

How is sshfs source target distro-specific? That would work anywhere. What would confuse the user is GUI, because we have about 5 major DEs and 10 major file managers that usually don’t even work with sshfs without extra plugins.

Thanks for your reply. The idea of zero-knowledge authentication is that the password never touches the server. Instead, the user can prove that they know the password when logging in by solving a challenge. This enables the user to log in from any new device without the need to transfer keys between them. I’ll take a closer look at your suggestions though. Thanks again!

Thanks, I will take a look! Implementing the encryption algorithm itself wasn’t my goal, I was hoping to find and reuse an existing library. You know, like we don’t implement our own algorithms to hash passwords or generate keys.

For some context, cryptography isn’t even usually implemented “completely correctly” by experts. That’s part of why we have constant software security patches.

Yeah, I totally agree, and I don’t expect to implement it properly or go public with this. I just got this idea for the final project. When it comes to password hashing, we have libraries in all popular languages that handle this, and we have open-source tools to generate keys. So, I was hoping to find something ready to use for my project. Unfortunately, it seems this area isn’t very popular.

It doesn’t prove that they knew either. We have this thing called presumption of innocence.

This made me thinking about Valve potentially banning my 19-years-old Steam account due to some error or a mistake 💀 I heard bad things about their customer support.

A tablet versus laptop? I don’t get it. Apples to oranges.

Every time people say “it’d be nice to live in the 50s” or something like that, I always think: “Nope, I’d never trade modern medicine for anything else.”

My back hurts when I see a colleague on a zoom meeting sitting like that cat.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom, Ralph.
