Sure, but, meh. A few dozen RAW picture files take more space.
Storage is cheap nowadays and KDE applications generally are of such high quality that it's definitely worth it.
Other examples are Digikam (hands-down the best picture organizer) and Krita (which rivals Photoshop for digital artists).

Wuala is using it, too.

There's Antergos for this.

It's indeed strange and definitely against the spirit.
There's an excellent open source project which does this and much more: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kde.kdecon...

Fedora is the only real alternative if you want more stability.

You don't even need NixOS for that. Just use Ansible or Puppet to manage your Arch Linux configuration.

RapidSSL does it too.

The reason all of those incompatible chat protocols pop up is that all of the popular federated protocols lack features like inline image transfer, a usable backlog, persistence, live previews or gimmicks like code formatting and editing and third party integrations.
People want those, and value them enough to give up federation.
My personal favorite is Zulip, by the way: https://zulip.org/
Its threaded conversation model really helps with ignoring discussion about topics you're not interested in. When I get back to an IRC/Slack/whatever channel, I spend quite a while catching up. 99% of the conversation does not concern me, yet I have to read it. Zulip's threading is a great solution to this.

Wow, this is pretty cool. Reminds me of the performance optimizations Facebook has done with Mercurial: https://code.facebook.com/posts/218678814984400/scaling-merc...
Mercurial was designed to be easy to extend, and it shows.

The estimates may be off, but the raw data it reports (context switches, wakeups etc.) is accurate.

> What if your cronjob doesn't fire? What if LEs script has a bug and you're not up to date?
That's why I renew them a week in advance. I set up Nagios checks which alert me when a certificate is not renewed. Those were already in place before LetEncrypt since human error is just as likely as a script breaking.

Does it support hardening flags by now? (ASLR etc.)

Other protocols are probably just as broken, we just haven't found the vulnerabilities yet. Few protocols (if any) get as much scrutiny as SSL/TLS.

The NIST curves also have constants which may or may not be manipulated.
Bruce Schneier recommends against using them.
What happened? :( I really liked that service.
