A soldier gets back from the front and gets a job in IT moderating internet comments.
A few months later he calls his CO and asks to be sent back to the front.
The CO asks "why would you want to do that?"
He replies, "there's a lot less fear over there."
- TeMPOraL 2y agoYou get downvoted, but that's pretty much spot on. I've wasted many days of my life trying to navigate around security in the browser and HTTPS everything, mostly unsuccessfully, and I only see increasingly insane lock-downs appearing as time goes on. It feels like that the only mode of use of a computer that's allowed by security-minded folks is being a company selling shit on-line, or a customer of one. Try anything like making a simple browser UI to use some internal API, even on localhost, and you quickly end up running your own certificate authority, CORS proxy and having to buy a domain. I mean, the very concept that the only right way to do HTTPS for internal tools is to have a public certificate on a public Internet domain, thus having to pay third parties and leaking information via certificate transparency logs, is insane when you're just doing your own stuff on your own LAN, and need to use a browser (entirely locally) or touch anything on the Internet.
