This seems to have been public for quite a while. It's also how Userify.com imports public keys from Github.com for years (and also imports from Gitlab.com, which copied Github's approach.) For some reason, Userify itself doesn&#x

OP said, "let's force everyone to use https." My guess is that OP's point was that "everyone" includes servers as well as browsers, presumably by shaming via no lock icon and other tactics.

I quite like Redis as a cache or as an ad hoc locking mechanism accessible from across a cluster, but as a database I will never fully trust it. RDB and AOF seem far too fragile to trust in production, especially in a distributed setting.

If that was what the OP had said, I would agree, but I don't interpret that as being what they actually said (although I may have misinterpreted): "However, those actions were later decided to be made illegal" (emphasis add

There's no such thing as "legal fraud". Fraud is always illegal.

Exactly. You absolutely must have the rsync binary installed locally. The rsync "server" should only actually be run if you know you need it (that is, only if you are providing rsync services to other people).

It's a good point that the cost could (would always?) be high, because you could probably just park a van outside the target's wifi network, given the sad state of wireless crypto. However, ZeroTier is designed to provide encrypti

If you have access to the victim's ZeroTier dashboard (or API calls), that's trivial to get. Even if there are currently no disclosed vulns in the dashboard, that doesn't mean that none exist.

This is just shocking. They gave the Taliban a list of the people who had been literally fighting against them for the last 20 years. And the Afghans, too. Who will protect them? No one. They are walking dead. They will be tortured and kill

"semi-illicit"? It's flat-out illegal, not semi-illicit. Inadvertently or not, illegal imports can bring in invasive species, like the Asian carp or even less interesting things like fruit molds that threaten native species a

This is very common. Always take the call. But be careful. They are quite possibly scoping you out on behalf of a portfolio company and might want to make a large offer to do a merger. So, you could get rich, or they could clone all of the

Based on sib comment, it looks like it was related to a poor name sanitation / matching function (which says, to me, that's risky if you have untrusted names), but this could also be caused by a lazy or delayed deletion strategy.
