   One would need to operate the service as a Tor Location Hidden service and have no presence on the Clear Net. They would also need, very good operational security and careful configuration in order to stay hidden.

   I'm not sure. I take full-stack to mean the front-end, middleware and back-end of a webapp. I would still call it being a "generalist" when applying the concept to computer technology in general. For example, the CTO of an or

   Years ago, everyone working in tech was an IT generalist. They did everything (DB design, systems, applications, algorithms, code, networking, etc.). Today, the field has matured and people are able to specialize. Sometimes, when old IT gen

   I really appreciated the article. I feel the same way about Go as you do. No other programming language has made me feel this way. It's the most practical programming language I have used over the last 40 years.

   I've used templates in C++ to do that and I agree that it is handy. I had to write far fewer functions than I would have without them. Sometimes, it's nice to not care or worry about how many bits are in a number.

   I agree about placating. Go is fine as it is. I don't need or want generics, but the addition of generics won't stop me from using Go.

   I see other GETs like this one: 216.99.127.196 - - [20/Aug/2021:16:25:42 +0000] "GET /validate/email/2591b346e5b8b435bdde54d797fe23a9 HTTP/1.1" 200 811 "" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT

   Wouldn't that be equivalent to just doing a GET?

    They did not in my case. Here is the UA string. It looks like a normal client a user might have: 74.51.221.37 - - [19/Aug/2021:22:05:16 +0000] "GET /validate/email/1d00a5c2648c211befd33f5a8a7cbfab HTTP/1.1

    Thanks. I don't use JS, just Go with HTML templates. I populate the form now with {{ .code }} from the URL so the user does not have to copy/paste the code. But they do have to click 'Submit' to post the form. I think th

    True. Phish testing campaigns in companies that send fake phishing emails to employees, are probably full of inaccurate data due to this. "Why did you click that link? But, I didn't."

    I built a small Go web app to do some security testing. When a user registers for an account, I generate a 128-bit secure token and email it to the address they provided (as a URL). Token URLs look like this: /validate/email/

    The new push in connections and joins are really amazing. I used some a few months ago for a small project. At first, I was skeptical of them, but after I used them, I saw how amazing they are. No more wire nuts.

    Probably non-technical managers making technical decisions. They run off or fire anyone who has a clue (seen as obstructionists). After that, it's to hell in a hand basket.

    I've used Sylpheed since the early 2000s. It supports PGP. It also considers HTML email as harmful. I agree with that.

    Data aggregation is similar to the encryption backdoor problem in computer science. This is sometimes referred to as the 'exceptional access system' problem. It is impossible to build such a system and then to ensure it is not abu
