You and this Troy Hunt guy have completely missed the central point that Maria is making. "Some are on domain validation which is 2048+ BitSH42 SSL/TLS encryption the encryption key is limited which means you can use on a few pages and has a limited band weight" What about THESE people? The ones on limited band weights that can only use a few pages? This is a 100% valid complaint about 2048+ BitSH42 protocols that I've had for some time and no-one ever acknowledges it or suggests a solution.

Are you referring to The Band - The Weight? If so, then it is a fine song.

  Were this reddit I'd invite you to take a load off, but that kind of behaviour invites (incites?) downvotes round here. So I shan't!
  - LambdaComplex 9y ago
    But apparently saying you'd get downvoted gets you downvoted just the same. Just like on Reddit!
    - headmelted 9y ago
      You know what? It's fair. I'd downvote me for saying "hope I don't get downvoted" too. On a side note, I'm glad at least one other person listens to The Band. Rock and roll is not dead! (Or it is, if Lester Bangs in Almost Famous is to be believed). I've gone well off the thread and into the wilderness here haven't I?

  It would make more sense that way.

Google search shows "BitSH42" is mentioned only in this discussion.

  This was tongue-in-cheek. My own fault for not being clearer. (See Ajedi32's response below.)

I'm not sure what that quote means. Can you explain it?
- lima 9y ago
  I think he's joking
  - CaptSpify 9y ago
    I guess I missed it because I can't even parse the quote.

      None of us can

  It means nothing. The whole quote is pure nonsensical technobabble; headmelted is joking by sarcastically bringing it up as a valid concern. It's funny because that's an actual quote from Maria Johnsen's article ["Should multilingual websites use HTTPS by default"][1], and the fact that she actually wrote that in a supposedly serious article discussing the merits of HTTPS makes it pretty clear she has no idea what she's talking about when it comes to security. (Especially compared to "this Troy Hunt guy", who is a well-known expert in the information security industry.)

    Sincerely, thank you. I was panicking for a moment there. I appreciate the save! (Not being sarcastic!)

I laughed so hard at this, almost peed myself.
