Firefox is slower in pretty much every benchmark though?

Why not use something like Merklemap?

by Eikon 2y ago
Merklemap is running PostgreSQL as the primary database, currently scaling at ~18TB on NVMe storage, and around 30TB of actual certificates that are stored on s3. The backend is implemented in Rust (handling web services, search functionali

Anyone setting up infrastructure, security researchers, security teams and IT teams. It’s also actually very useful too in the brand management field, especially to detect phishing websites.

You're essentially advocating for security through obscurity. The fact that public infrastructure is mappable is actually beneficial. It helps enforce best practices rather than relying on the flawed 'no one will discover this end

Supporting DANE means you need to maintain both traditional CA validation and DANE simultaneously. This may be controversial, but I believe that with CT logs already in place, DANE could potentially reduce security by leaving you without an

No, it just makes any CA accountable for all the certs they issue.

Shameless plug: Check out my Certificate Transparency monitor at https://www.merklemap.com The scale is massive, I just crossed 100B rows in the main database! :)

Sounds weird to read that from Western Europe where even the most rural places have fiber! I understand that the USA is big, but no fiber in SF?

Trivial, even for a high traffic website to be served from a fiber connection.

I completely agree. People often bring up edge cases like this, but they rarely occur in real-world scenarios. If you have such a complex predicate that’s used everywhere, you should probably be using a view anyway.

I'm not sure why you think you’d need an ORM for that. Most SQL client libraries allow you to compose queries, and query builders, which are not ORMs, can handle that just fine too.
176.
by Eikon 2y ago
It’s not fine because ORMs never make sense as an abstraction layer. They try to map concepts that are inherently incompatible. Relational databases are designed around set theory and strict schema constraints, while object-oriented program
