To Fork or Not to Fork? Results of a #bitcoin and #ethereum Community Survey.

“Hard fork” is a term that often incited heated debates. Some communities explicitly embrace on-chain governance, such as freezing accounts and changing smart contract code on-the-fly, while others are known to be firecly rooted in the “you don’t hard fork, ever” fork camp.The Bitcoin community has a reputation of strict hard-fork-averseness: Major changes on the protocol level usually don’t make it into the mainline Bitcoin Core client (i.e. hard forks are always contentious and lead to splits from the main BTC chain). While this makes it hard to implement meaningful protocol updates, it also creates confidence into Bitcoins’s reliability and the finality of Bitcoin transactions.The Ethereum community regularly implements protocol updates via coordinated hard forks and is generally believed (...)

Over the past weeks, the crypto ecosystem has been abuzz with the news of the Bitcoin Cash division that has created two new projects: Bitcoin Cash ABC and Bitcoin Cash SV. This comes just over one year after Bitcoin Cash forked from Bitcoin.Putting aside the drama of the threats being made from one project to another, we have to ask ourselves — What does this division mean for the crypto ecosystem as a whole?To answer that question, let’s dive into what precipitated this dispute in the first place, and the pros and cons of Bitcoin Cash splitting into two competing projects.Unstructured Governance, Divisions and Hard ForksSystems of governance are what frame the decision-making process and determine who has the power to make decisions.

The untold story of #bitcoin’s historic 2017 year-run lies in Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 148, or User-Activated Soft Fork (UASF).The year Bitcoin Unlimited died is the same year Bitcoin Cash was born, both bastard children in my opinion, and both unsurprisingly originate from the same main proponents. ASICBoost, Antbleed, Bitmain ring a bell?The infamous New York Agreement (NYA) was in fact a behind-closed-doors settlement between influential CEOs ‘attempting to resolve’ Bitcoin’s scaling debate.I remember in the early months of 2017 when Jihan Wu threatened the chance of a hard fork and while such threats seem inconsequential now, the warning was a very, very alarming and eminent threat to the community at large.

Building Natively Scalable MicroservicesImage from LONGLONGLIFE.orgIntroductionAlmost anyone familiar with microservices architecture, has heard about scaling. Scaling is the process which enables load balancing by running multiple instances of a service (container).In any of the existing orchestration platforms, scaling can be done either automatically or manually. But, both approaches require some sort of administration deciding when a microservice needs to scale. This article introduces an autonomous scaling method driven by OS system calls without the need for external interference .MotivationAutonomy is one of the main principles of microservices architecture, and is essential for building agile ecosystems. In an agile ecosystem, along with agility in #development, microservices (...)

A fork of the iconic font and CSS toolkit

Fork Awesome is a full suite of 701 pictographic icons for easy scalable vector graphics on websites, originally created by Dave Gandy and now maintained by a community.
Following concerns regarding the development of Font Awesome, the PR Freeze since Oct 2016 and the direction Font Awesome is taking with the version 5.0 of their project, we are forking Font Awesome (4.7), in order to build on this incredible tool Dave Gandy has given us, while at the same time allowing this project to be run by a distributed community of contributors.

The WinUSB fork we covered a while back was renamed to WoeUSB recently, while also seeing quite a few releases for the past few days.

WoeUSB / WinUSB is a tool that can be used to create a bootable Windows installer USB stick from an ISO or DVD. The application supports Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, as well Windows 10, and can be used either with a GUI or from the command line.

On the whole Flattiance keeps to the same color palette, with dark browns and orange accents, but it ditches the gradient in app headers in favour of a solid block.

Make A Bootable Windows 10 USB Install Stick On Linux With WinUSB Fork ~ Web Upd8 : Ubuntu / Linux blog
▻http://www.webupd8.org/2016/06/make-bootable-windows-10-usb-install.html

WinUSB is a tool that can be used to create a bootable USB Windows installer from an ISO or a DVD, either using a GUI or from the command line.

The application looks pretty much abandoned, with the latest release dating back to 2013 however, GitHub user slacka forked it, fixed most of its bugs, and updated it to support both wxWidgets 2 and 3.

LibreSignal

Why have Signal, TextSecure and RedPhone been renamed?

Moxie Marlinspike apparently doesn’t like the idea of independent builds of TextSecure and RedPhone so much, that he started with legal threats on Twitter. Independent builds of TextSecure have been therefore renamed to TextLibre and RedPhone to PhoneLibre.

Latest TextSecure for Android has been merged with RedPhone and is now Signal. Independent builds of Signal have been renamed to LibreSignal.

Application IDs are still the same, so you will not lose data after upgrade.
Motivation

My primary motivation for creating this repository has been the absence of TextSecure private messenger from the official F-Droid repository. TextSecure has already been included in F-Droid for a brief time in the past, but Moxie Marlinspike (author of TextSecure) didn’t like this and demanded it to be removed. TextSecure is Free Software (licensed under GPL), so F-Droid maintainers didn’t have to remove it, but nevertheless they did.

There has been big discussion about it (issue #127), but simply told, Moxie is not open to arguments and wants TextSecure to be distributed only via Google Play. He already locked this discussion. This is unacceptable for me, because applications installed from Google Play can be silently updated without user knowing about it, e.g. to version with hidden backdoor.

TextSecure still needs Google Play Services (because it uses Google Cloud Messaging), but you don’t need Google Account and Google Play cannot silently update app that has been installed outside of Google Play store. Hopefully in the future, it will be possible to use official TextSecure client without Google Play Services (see issue #1000 - Websocket support, unfortunately Moxie also locked this discussion).

For now there is unofficial TextSecure fork by JavaJens, which already uses WebSocket instead of GCM and therefore doesn’t need Google Play Services. You can install it from my experimental F-Droid repository.

Signal (aka TextSecure), développé par Open Whisper System, est une application centralisée de messagerie instantanée très similaire à Whatsapp dans son fonctionnement. Mais l’application et le serveur sont libres et open-source. De plus, les clients intègrent by design un chiffrement de bout en bout. Ce qui en fait l’application de messagerie instantanée la plus aboutie, facile d’utilisation par n’importe qui et avec à priori un bon niveau de confidentialité.

Cependant l’application officielle de Signal pour Android dépend du service de notification Google Cloud Messaging. Ce service nécessite l’installation de la bibliothèque Google Play Service sur son mobile, qui elle n’est pas open-source.

LibreSignal est un fork de Signal débarrassé de la dépendance à Google Cloud Messaging. Il repose sur les websockets (implémentés par le serveur officiel). Il permet ainsi de communiquer avec l’ensemble des utilisateur de Signal, même ceux ayant (pas) choisi l’installation du mouchard Google ou ceux utilisant iOS.

Company comes out with new pork-laced ammunition they believe will keep Muslims from going to heaven | Mail Online
▻http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2347150/Company-comes-new-pork-laced-ammunition-believe-Muslims-going-heaven.ht

A company in Dalton Gardens, Idaho has developed a new line of pork-laced bullets they hope will be used to fight back against Islamic terrorists.

South Fork Industries created the bullets, which they call Jihawg Ammo, so they can be used as a ’defensive deterrent to those who violently act in the name of Islam.’

They took traditional ammo and coated the bullets in a pork-infused paint. Those shot with the bullets would be unclean, as the Islamic religious forbids Muslims from coming into contact with pig meat.

The manufacturers believe that this act will keep any Muslims shot with the bullets from going to heaven.
