Like probably 5,000 other people have SSH accounts into the same dreamhost server where http://juliusdavies.ca/ http://juliusdavies.ca/ lives! :-p (This is not in anyway a response to tptacek's comment.

Oh, sorry, I read this post like 10 times looking for something to rant about, and nothing about it "stuck", so I didn't recognize it as a direct question. Shows you how I think. What do I think? Bad. I have a reason: http://www.matasano.com/log/460/modern-cpu-architecture-threat-or-menace-the-case-of-branch-prediction/ http://www.matasano.com/log/460/modern-cpu-architecture-thre... This is one example of the tens of different side channels that exist on modern CPU architecture when you can run code alongside crypto on the same microarchitecture. How serious are these problems long term? Nobody knows. The full microarchitecture of an Intel or AMD processor isn't documented.
