  • disposable-email-domains

    a list of disposable and temporary email address domains

  • And this is why users protect themselves with services like Firefox Relay, something Dustin Ingram, a Python Software Foundation Director, doesn't appear to understand [1] or care. My email was leaked in this breach, along with many others, an email I used to really value but one I've relegated to the dumpster fire of "spam slot" because I learned my lesson too late.

    Dustin has now locked that GitHub to only previous contributors so users are once again left voiceless and powerless in the continuing war against their privacy.

    We've been thinking of the business owners and the children [2] for decades now. It's time to start thinking of the users, people like you and me who are exploited constantly for everything they have to be unceremoniously discarded in a waste heap once they've been used up.

  • subliminal

    Subtitles, faster than your thoughts

  • There's a python "app" called subliminal (with a simple CLI) that handles the whole enchilada for you - identify the movie, contact several subtitle dbs to download the appropriate subtitles.

    Not sure how up-to-date it is kept, but for me it works reasonably well, except for obscure films.

  • bips

    Bitcoin Improvement Proposals

  • The end user's agent (browser) should handle the key management behind the scenes. Even without hardware tokens it's still at least as good as a software-based password manager. A Hierarchical Deterministic key system similar to the BIP32 scheme used by most Bitcoin wallets[0] would only require a single master private key per user to support any number of unrelated identities. That key could be generated from a master password, synced to each device through an enrollment process, or stored on a hardware token.
