> Just keeps spinning.

Sounds like what happens to me when opening the page. Did you try to click on 'Video' tab or on the 'Play' button? It started the video for me.


No amount of clicking on any element helps.

Trying to play http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/ccc/congress/2015/h264-hd-... directly in the browser works.

Maybe they should just load that in an iframe or something.


In the developer tools console there is a mixed content warning:

  Mixed Content: The page at 'https://media.ccc.de/v/32c3-7435-replication_prohibited#video' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure video 'http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/ccc/congress/2015/h264-hd-web/32c3-7435-en-Replication_Prohibited.mp4'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.
FWIW Firefox plays it just fine


The CCC built a distributed CDN, so nope, that wouldn't help: my video is loading from netcologne.de, for instance (in a 'video' element, which is appreciate, from my point of view).


/* And here are the download options: https://media.ccc.de/v/32c3-7435-replication_prohibited#down... */ That doesn't translate well. Click on the download tab, you'll find video and audio, direct download and torrent.


I use Tor for regular use. Could you provide more detailed instructions for #3? I would like to consider setting up this option.


Not everyone has the same threat model, not everyone needs all of that. Johnny can encrypt.

For most instances of "Johnny" I've seen, I disagree. I think the barrier to wide adoption of strong crypto is UX, specifically discoverability.

Learning GPG is really really hard. Testing an assumption takes lots of thinking and many complex commands, undoing something is hard or impossible and it's never obvious how to do it, and doing something wrong can mean disaster. It's not so much "pgp is hard to use" but "pgp is hard to learn".

This article is a great example. I think I've got a pretty good understanding of how public-key crypto works, but there's no way I could have put together the steps myself, I'm just blindly following the words of the Great Ones, Keepers of the Source.


The arguments made by Alan Eliasen seem worth considering to me. And his tutorial is great.

> Pay developers millions of dollars internally then they release what they work on as open source code.

What do they release as open source code, apart from TextEdit? I am really surprised by your comparison since it seems to me that the two (bash, vim, top, netcat… and Apple's open source code) do not compare at all.


Apple "owns" LLVM which has changed our computing landscape from the bottom up in more ways than I can count. GCC was happy being stagnant until LLVM came along and GCC could finally see how awful and behind the times they had become. Now there's at least some competition again.

(competition-free platforms are never a good thing, no matter how many times you pray to your zero-to-one god)

Except that isn't Sorrentino's last film. And both Youth and La grande bellezza are beautiful movies.
