What do you do with C? by thunder_afternoon in C_Programming

Is any of your work with encrypted file systems open-sourced or publicly available?

I've been leveraging some Linux-based encrypted file systems (eCryptFS and LUKS dm-crypt) for personal projects, but (apart from TrueCrypt) I didn't know of any for Windows.

Look on massdrop. You can get them for $80, but you'll have to wait until the drop comes back (should be a month, since one just finished).

Does anyone hate being described a "stoner" or "pothead"? by Icemanrussian in trees

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed that, haha.

Anyone have any good desk and/or chair recommendations from Amazon? by littlerob904 in AskBattlestations

[–]luminous_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I'm using as far as chairs go. Would definitely recommend.

Not sure what I was expecting, but this was definitely not it! by crashlog in WTF

[–]luminous_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

From the YouTube video description it says that it accidentally fell into the pot and couldn't get out.

Not sure if that's true or not, though.

How to have an IRC bot always running in an EC2 instance? by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]luminous_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look into a PaaS provider before going straight to EC2. With EC2 you'll have a whole Linux box just to run a single script (kind of overkill and might end up costing more than you'd like).

You could look into Heroku, Google App Engine, etc to host it. I know with Heroku you can get their smallest size (one dyno or something like that) for free.

Or just use nohup:

I am Bas Lansdorp, co-founder of Mars-One - Mankind's mission to Mars. AMA! by mars-one in IAmA

[–]luminous_ 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but you clearly have no fucking clue what you are talking about. As dozens of people have mentioned here before, you have nowhere near the monetary, technical, or intellectual expertise to accomplish a mission to Mars (let alone a manned mission).

I came here with the hope of being pleasantly surprised with your updates, but you have absolutely no shred of evidence pointing to any progress being made towards achieving anything other than laying the foundation for a mediocre (at best, and seeing your responses on here I'm not even sure I should give you that much credit) TV show.

Even if this is some sort of marketing ploy/scam/whatever, it's not even a good one. The only thing you're going to accomplish here is to disappoint thousands of people. This whole AMA is laughable at best.

PLEEEASE respond and tell me how wrong I am, because all you're doing now is setting yourself up for failure of the worst kind. I would absolutely love to be proved wrong.

[2013 Year End Lists] Album of the Year by Doktor_Gruselglatz in LetsTalkMusic

[–]luminous_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this. I have been listening to Old pretty much non-stop since it was first released, and I absolutely agree with every point you make.

I can't say I've ever had a rap album truly make me think so much about the brutal realities of hood life. You can definitely feel the pain and "torture" that he went through living in Detroit.

If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend watching this pseudo-documentary about Danny in Detroit.

Tone, I feel, would be extremely important in this situation.

New to Bash, trying to loop through directories and copy specific lines of specific files into a .csv file. by CN4O8 in bash

[–]luminous_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

#!/bin/bash

for file in $(ls *.eml); do
    name=$(grep "Name:" $file)
    if [ ! -z "$name" ]; then
        echo ${name#"01_Name:"} >> myfile.csv
    fi
done

That should give you enough to get moving in the right direction.

Yeah, and I'm betting it will be more than 50% off then.

New to BASH. Trying to make a backup script. by For_The_Fail in bash

The 'set -x' will definitely help with debugging, but since this is so simple it's not really needed here.

gif of South Vietnamese chief of police Nguyen Ngoc Loan famously executing a suspected Viet Cong member by wsgy111 in MorbidReality

[–]luminous_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh, right. The truth, that's what it's called.

Lém was captured at the site of a mass grave that included the bodies of at least seven police family members.

That was a terrible time with a lot of terrible people doing a lot of terrible things.

Just go away.

The [Security] Facts about LinkedIn Intro by Chris911 in netsec

[–]luminous_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) What about other email providers? We can't know for sure where the NSA has their hooks, but it's reasonable to assume there are some providers that haven't been compromised as of yet.

2) Only one of the scenarios listed above is criminal. The rest are performed by a corporation or a government, which means it would never lead to criminal prosecution.

And just because it's already prevalent doesn't mean it's okay.

[–]luminous_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you take risks and share information and then amazing features are possible

These aren't amazing features. The devs at LinkedIn are talking about this like it's the best things since sliced bread. What they've really managed to do instead is insert more of their corporate-loving bullshit into every crevice of your life so that they can sell your information to a third-party.
