Tons of information for research, hackers, you name it ... It shows a history of domains, you can find hidden subdomains, still active, revoked etc ... Do not forget that we had insane long certificates not that long ago. The main issue is

There was talking going on in one of the CA/Browser Forum regarding certificate expirations, and how they looked at potentially 17 days. The 45 days was a compromise, but the whole 17 days was never removed from the table, and was stil

You know that the original idea was to drop it to 17 days?! And i think that is still on the books. To be honest, the issue is not the time frame, you can literally have certs being made every day. And there are plenty of ways to automated

And if you want to go even cheaper, check out Hetzner their EX63 (go to custom) > 4x 7.68TB drives for like 140 Euro. Not counting the fact that Netcup is raided (also Netcup is limited to 8TB on a VPS). That is like 4.7 Euro /TB. T

The problem with creating a programming language for LLMs, goes back to, what are LLMs? They are trained on masses of human written code, that is written in human readable form. So even if you make a better programming language for a LLM, i

That is the thing ... How long ago did we get Agent mode. Like in CoPilot that thing is only 7 months old. Things evolve faster then people realize... Agent mode, then came mcp servers, sub agents, now its rag databases allowing the LLMs to

He never said that companies will trust a one man shop. His point was clearly that people and companies will make products designed for themselves, using LLMs. Why pay for a piece of software that you really only use 5% of all the features,

What will NATS gain from moving from Go to Zig? No GC ... For the rest, Zig is still unstable, while Go is mature and not prune to change. Makes little sense.

I assume he is referring to master's holding all the primary data, and you threat replica's as backups. So if a master goes down, a replica becomes the master that handles all the data. You never get inconstancies between write an

Yep ... its like people never read some of the main dev's motivations. The ability for people to be able to read each others code was a main point. I don't know but for me a lot of attacks on Go, often come from non-go developers,
