On an unrelated note: why are you no longer on keybase? Are there any problems with the service?

the guy that was attacking me attempted to dox me, so I shut down all non-essential accounts to prevent anything similar happening in the future

Maybe that's because the website already has a serialized state - the HTML?

That's about 3cm. Pretty close ;-)

I wouldn't touch it, but watching it up close is quite interesting.

Simple, just enter insert mode

to quote the letter:

There are two ways to mitigate this attack

- Don't use HTML mails. Or if you really need to read them use a proper MIME parser and disallow any access to external links.

- Use authenticated encryption.

So the author makes some good points, but i have a hard time taking him seriously:

1) He writes a long blog post about problems that men have, specifically, and how there is unfair treatment between sexes.

2) He also writes explicitly that bodily autonomy of women is so important to him, it might as well be called holy.

3) He has had his son circumcised.

Any two out of these three positions i could understand. All three together are... hard to rationalize.

I had an undergraduate English professor who told the lecture hall one day how he had had one of his sons circumcised and not the other.

Was it the younger who's circumcised or the other way around?

That is true for china, iran and saudi arabia as well...

You can install it on any kind of hardware that runs debian.

They even have some links to suggested computers: https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/QuestionsAndAnswers#HARDW...

freedombox is actually based on debian - so they select some packages and configure them to work nicely together, and add a nice web configuration page.

Still a lot of work, but not as much as creating your own distro from scratch.

That means that transparency works _for_ you, not against you.

But that doesn't mean I'm ready to give up my privacy.

That is exactly what they want us to think. I'm glad you at least realize there is information asymmetry at play here. Thank you for keeping an open mind. You have come farther than many people I've talked to. We can get there.
