The problem is controversies can be embellished. In this case, the controversy focused on a minor detail among hundreds of others in a nearly two hour long film. Is there guidance on what makes a controversy 'notable', or can anyt

Wikipedia has been captured by special interests. I recently watched The Silence of the Lambs, an Academy Award winning movie from the early 90s. Afterward, I skimmed the Wikipedia article to see if I missed any plot details. There is a who

A few months work by one guy and already more capable than the Hurd. Imagine what you could accomplish given 35 years.

I'm curious what requirement drove you to such arbitrarily small TTL, other than "because we can" dick-measuring geekery. I applaud you for sticking to your guns though.

It's a very myopic take. Someone that has seized control of your core network such that they were capable of modifying traffic, is not going to waste precious time or access modifying the flags of ls on your man page server. They wil

Then, I'm afraid, you work in a bubble. A static page that hosts documentation on an internal network does not need encryption. The added overhead of certificate maintenance (and investigating when it does and will break) is simply

I see the Ars comment section is full of the usual insightful "we need Chinese slave labor otherwise the flow of my shiny new Apple devices will be shut off". It's really a product of selfishness. Imagine if in the 1960s the
