i honestly like the fact these sites block access, for me its a sign they don't care about users privacy or are just too lazy to comply. I have several projects that need to comply with the GDPR, i did not feel it to be a big effort to comply.

I currently block sites with annoying pop ups or show failure to comply.

rss is already dead, its just weeding out unused parts.

yeah i agree, if you use the key servers be careful with what info you use, you dont have to add email addresses either.

might be worth reading this and a ton of other articles that make so many good points why WoT is bad

That sounds good, thank you

Not yet, i plan to do some testing with that to see what the max is.

It would be interesting to know which keyservers accept unusually large files (in the megabytes range) and which just reject those updates - I expect if enough large payloads were uploaded that someone might eventually take notice.

So far i have noticed there is no rate limiting on the sks key-servers, so i have a feeling it might be possible to upload large files.

there is no way to remove keys and email addresses!

i run a python/shell program to rsync and collect what i want backed up into one folder i then compress it and gpg encrypt it and send it to my backup server

give me an email i would love to see some more visualizations, what do you use?

I use R and ggplot2 for my visualizations (coincidentally those are also the tools used for the linked paper). Most of my visualizations are on my blog. (check HN profile)

Love the Taxi article!!

yeah i noticed it a lot while checking profiles that there was just nothing written up at all. never really thought about it being a fake profile.

Not Okcupid, but another dating site I went to had one profile message me. In her hobbies list it said "I really enjoy: NULL"

I've seen a few women* list a programing language in addition to other languages on online dating profiles.

* I'm sure there are some men that do it too, but I don't browse those profiles.

could be fun to search the search the data for tech references :)

haha
