Wouldn’t seeing that world while not being able to live in it rather depressing? And while I have to agree that medical research is important, there is not just medical research which is underfunded. The things we could end up with when p

There doesn’t really seem to be any improvement over the old page and the only thing that annoys me with the old page (used with kj=b2&kl=wt-wt&ko=f&kp=-1&kx=b) is the fact that instant answers are loaded not immediately. Th

They are already placing completely rewritten files under ‘better’ licenses, so the license switch might happen file-by-file over a long period of time.

And the correct interpretation of ‘interrupted revocation check’ is ‘invalid certificate’. Now, of course there’s the problem that the CAs are apparently unable to provide constantly-running OCSP servers, making such an interruption more li

If I understand that problem correctly, it has nothing to do with the amount of entropy available but is a simple synchronisation/locking issue. Were reads from, say, /dev/zero ‘protected’ by spinlocks in the same way, the sa

However, it seems possible to explicitly use a secure browser (i.e. one that checks certificate revocations) if the need arises. You don’t need 99% browser-market coverage to allow people to securely connect to your site, nor do you need

Thank you very much for your reply! Of course it is irrelevant if the attacker knows the key, but that naturally depends on the threat model under consideration and your OP wasn’t too clear on that, hence my question :) Thanks again!

Apologies for the possibly stupid question: Did your OpenVPN server use TLS Authentication (tls-auth option) and, if so, did the attacker have access to that key? What I have read so far seems to imply that OpenVPN is vulnerable, but only i

Small wounds often heal within days, yet I don’t go around stabbing people (not even with tiny knives!). Sure, maybe some offences turn from ‘murder’ into ‘grievous bodily harm’, but that shouldn’t be bad in and of itself?
