Remember when the web just worked?
- jchw 8y agoNo, I remember an absolute load of ways it didn't just work, or worse, worked in silently incorrect or insecure ways. I think you get my point so I'll leave out the laundry list of things I remember being broken throughout the history of the world wide web. A TLS error here and there is not so bad :)
- ceejayoz 8y ago> Remember when the web just worked? I don't think there's ever been a time where incorrect webserver configurations like that were impossible to make.
- twblalock 8y agoI remember when pretty much everything was http rather than https. It's better now.
- CamperBob2 8y agoHow? Why do I need an https connection to read a newspaper?
- brownbat 8y agoHerd immunity is one perk. It prevents anyone between you and the newspaper from inserting some js to turn your machine into a cannon targeting someone else. "Need" may be a bit strong, but there are positive security externalities.
- CamperBob2 8y agoWhen has this ever actually happened? Would be curious if there are any good case studies.
