 I am a weirdy, I guess. I prefer to do struct/enum first with method/functions/impls associated with the struct following, then add the next struct, etc.

 Sounds like a virtualbox issue 
 You don't have any evidence to disprove him, so instead you attempt to attack his character? Where did you learn to debate?! Logical fallacies prove nothing! Jack bases his claims off evidence, inviting people to learn for themselves. 
 No... no that is not the definition of Nazism. 
 How is attestation being performed to prove the integrity of the file? How are you addressing stale file states (file gets removed from one source, but before the deletion is reported to the network, another person downloads it)? Do you have plans to allow sealing the content for specified users? 
 I've seen people talking about Signal a lot lately and the one reason I'm a little hesitant to pu...

 Why should I use this instead of

 That is debatable. If there is a proven better solution, then using something brokendoesn't make sense  
 I would disagree with you opinion of it not being broken. It does work, but it has some painful flaws. If people switch to age, the argument could be reversed as far as popularity. 
 Take a look at

 I just do `ctrl + r` to perform a reverse lookup. It is much faster. 
 #rust adherents are deluded in believing the idea that merely memory access violations are the on... 
 The JVM has the String pool. An area of memory which is NEVER garbage collected. It only cleans itself on heap dump or application restarts. Unless you are encrypting client-side, your PII and credentials are stored in plain text in memory. #NoMoreJava  
 That gets a little complicated. The short answer is yes, but the are not any security measures preventing heap dumps from memory access violations. If your application is on the device, it can cause a dump and grab the info from it.  
 Neither. This is a weakness in how the JVM responds to invalid memory access. While there are some security issues existing in the LXC namespace, they do not correlated with this issue. 
 What IDE/editor do you use for Rust?

#rustlang 
 Helix 
 Why? The internal construction would be abysmal to set up... How will you handle insulation or HVAC? It is cool in theory, but the long-term ramifications would be very costly. 
 I have never been a fan of freemium models. Give me all the features, or don't offer them at all. I will stick with simplexchat. 
 What does everyone recommend as a decentralized sms replacement? #p2p #foss opsec #software

 I like PGP, and suggest it to people often, but lately I have been suggesting age as my defacto. Especially with rage (rust implementation) being available. https://github.com/str4d/rage



 
 An unpopular opinion, but I will never trust WhatsApp. In fact, I frequently will evangelize against using it. Never trust a "secure" app which allows a company to "recover" your data. True end-to-end encryption is entirely in the hands of the user. No metadata, no tracking, no identification, and certainly no server-side "recovery." You are much better off using Signal, Telegram (with encryption enabled), Element (Matrix), SimpleX Chat, or a Nostr client.
