Let the others "talk peace." f0dder prefers to let his "piece" do the talkin'When it comes to lawyers, it's fitting to quote the alien from Independence Day: "Peace? ...no peace!"-40hz (March 08, 2011, 07:22 AM)
I don't really want to do anything that might compromise the legality of software on their machine.Understandable. I can't see how applying a fix for a game you legally own is wrong - but that's from a moral standpoint. From a lawyer-legal standpoint(*), things might be different. FWIW, the files involved in the fix is purely the fix, not the full game and data.-oblivion (March 08, 2011, 04:48 AM)
Running Mac OS X on Windows is possible using VirtualBox. But, as was mentioned already, it's illegal.That's what she said - the bitch-queen Steve Jobs.-phitsc (March 07, 2011, 04:14 PM)
One question : You'll still be able to commit code from the private to the public repo even if you squashed the changesets/history in the public one ??? I most probably don't understand properly as I'm not sure how that would work.Well, I'm still not 100% on how it works under the hood, but the idea is that after "going public", you don't touch the old private repo, you keep doing all new development in the public one, and the private is kept just for the history - but is able to show entire history.-Armando (March 04, 2011, 10:07 PM)
In any case, I've edited Mercurial's ini file to add the "collapse" extension and it seems to load properly. Haven't properly tested it yet. Collapsing changesets is probably not too dangerous when working alone, but I don't know about team work. Potential for disaster.As long as you don't collapse changesets that have already been pushed, you should be fine - so do all your crazy-small local commits, collapse changesets to your liking, then push remotely and you should be fine-Armando (March 04, 2011, 10:07 PM)
And when taxpayers don't have to fund their software through large corporate contracts, it's a big savings for everyone.<tongue-in-cheek>Except when it ends up more expensive because of re-training, hiring expensive linux consultants, and not being able to handle stuff in-house because the documentation sucks.</tongue-in-cheek>-zridling (March 04, 2011, 05:33 PM)
).Oh, it's going to stay C++; there's protobuf, protobuf, everywhereI'm considering whether I should just use Google's protobuf, but on the other hand one of the main selling points of fSekrit is compact size.Stay with C++ - Small and fast is (worth it) good! - Misery loves company...-f0dder (March 04, 2011, 01:44 PM)-Stoic Joker (March 04, 2011, 02:05 PM)
One question: Why open source it? If you're going to be the sole coder and maintainer why bother to go that route with all the aggravation the 'open thing' so often brings with it?It's a vote of confidence kind of thing. No backdoors, hopefully no nasty bugs, ability to read the documents even when the world has moved from Windows to lunix and can no longer execute the .exe files, the possibility to accept patches from 3rd party developers (especially important since there's some features that plainly don't interest me).

. I'm considering whether I should just use Google's protobuf, but on the other hand one of the main selling points of fSekrit is compact size.
Unless I misunderstand what you're saying, then that feature is very easy to implement with a stack data structure, which doesn't offer the wanted tree view.That's an interesting idea - I wonder if, say, the FireFox history database has enough information to construct that, hmm...I assume all major browsers do otherwise when you hold unto the back button, you won't have a drop down set of links to go back to the very beginning.-Paul Keith (March 04, 2011, 01:33 PM)
If someone wanted to make a neat little portable application specifically for this purpose, I would definitely donate.What do you specifically need, for such an app, that you don't feel fSekrit offers you?-Hyphen (March 04, 2011, 09:59 AM)
Is there a specific reason for not just starting with a plain link in the first place? This has always drove me nutz, because I'm forever having to hit the "This Link" link while wondering why the hell they didn't just start with something that works. ...Fixing things with damage perhaps?-Stoic Joker (March 04, 2011, 07:22 AM)
Yup - and I've had to jump through a fair amount of hoops to ensure it works under Win9x. Not needed by a lot of users (Win9x support was broken for a couple of versions before anybody noticedDoes fSekrit work on Windows 7?Yes! All editions.-J-Mac (March 03, 2011, 01:03 AM)-Stoic Joker (March 03, 2011, 06:53 AM)
), but it's there for those who need it.Looks like bogus example keys to me - have never seen Microsoft ECC product keys without numbers in themIt's tiny, reliable, and does one thing extremely well - which makes it a perfect app for portable use. Everything is stored in the executable so there's no separate datafile to go looking for. Sweet!
(see attachment in previous post)fSekrit is a small application for keeping securely encrypted notes. These notes are truly stand-alone; the editor program and your note are merged together into a tiny self-contained program file, bypassing the need to install a special application to view your data. This makes fSekrit ideal for keeping encrypted notes on, for example, USB flash drives.

I just realized that you have obscured the directory, but not the keys! Will that be problematic?-wraith808 (March 02, 2011, 02:53 PM)
