Thanks guys! Vivaldi is the only viable alternative to Chrome (sell your soul to advertisers) and FF (too many SJW side projects, focus on the browser ffs). Please clone Opera 10.5.

RainLoop works very well as (self-hosted) web-based IMAP client. The mobile client (via browser) works perhaps even better, and installation is very simple.

Have you considered using ChaCha20? It is - supposedly - faster than RC4 ( https://security.stackexchange... ) and not broken ( http://www.rc4nomore.com/ ). Of course, please benchmark yourself.

Many thanks for this very informing post. One follow-up question, what news sources (online and offline) would you recommend as alternatives to the (pre-Murdoch) WSJ? What is your opinion on the FT?

Submission + - OpenBSD 5.7 Released

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Friday May 01, 2015 @01:32AM

An anonymous reader writes: Just as per the schedule, OpenBSD 5.7 was released today, May 1, 2015. The theme of the 5.7 release is "Source Fish". There are some big changes in OpenBSD 5.7. The nginx httpd server removed from base in favor of an internally developed httpd server in 5.7. BIND (named) from base in 5.7 in favor of nsd(8) (authoritative DNS) and unbound(8) (recursive resolver). Packages will exist for BIND and nginx. This version include a new control utility, rcctl(8), for managing daemons/services, USB 3 support and more. See a detailed log of changes between the 5.6 and 5.7 releases for more information. If you already have an OpenBSD 5.6 system, and do not want to reinstall, upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the Upgrade Guide. You can order the 5.7 CD set from the new OpenBSD Store and support the project.

Was Steam not working a hardware/driver issue? The support on FreeBSD for NVIDIA is fine, and it is very much possible to run games on Steam (not all), and games like EVE Online, WoW, etc.
