On a related note, can we as a community start tarnishing Microsoft et al. for e-mail? Blog posts, about pages, documentation, anything and everything where it's appropriate, we should be stating it as a fact that Microsoft's e-ma

I'm always a little upset when I read posts excited about configuring things, where they've missed the obvious tooling that's designed for it. Not sure why, but it makes me sad.

It happens often enough that it would be useful to me. Mostly it's when developing something. I'm the one creating the cert, I'm the one putting it in place, I'm in control of the DNS, place I'm connecting to, and i

Very likely this, as the Netherlands recently had some laws changed to put a stop to "contractors" (with giant quotation marks).

> When you hire a contractor/freelancer you can pay for output, not time. This is not true, at least in my experience, and definitely in the Netherlands. You pay for time, not output.

I really wish encryption and identity weren't so tightly coupled in certificates. If I've issued a certificate, I _always_ care about encryption, but sometimes do not care about identity. For those times when I only care about enc

I get what you mean, and I understand the frustration. We should be more careful with words for exactly the reason you say at the end. Having said that, the reason I chose to use it here was because I felt it was time, i.e. it has finally b

This is where I was at, but am believing less and less as the parallels stack up. I used to tell people to look at Russia if they wanted to see the Nazi script play out, and that this could never happen in the USA. Now I'm reminded of

The point of no return is Trump getting a third term. The parallels are strong there. I was just thinking this morning that we very much needed the USA's help fighting Nazi Germany, but who will we turn to when we're fighting fasc

This is the only correct response, but I don't think I'm being overly cynical in thinking they're being opportunistic either. They're quite happy to turn a blind eye to unfashionable political views being silenced, so th

We did have ways to create margins, you know :/ Aside from simple CSS, you could still do it with pure HTML.

Slightly off-topic, but is the result of the USA tariff "trade-war" mean that we get to trade at a discount with China in Europe? What I mean is, since it's cheaper for China to trade with us in Europe now, does that mean we

This is false. He posted a doctored image to make it look like that, which is a completely different thing, and should definitely be punishable.

Yes. Do it without personal information. If your intent is only to A/B test, you don't need to tie that to individuals, unless your intent is also to target those particular types of individuals.

In configuration languages such as HCL, having to account for the fact that there will not be a comma for the last element becomes unnecessarily difficult.

If you don't know what got others in trouble, you'll be overly careful with your own words. Most worrying is the fact that causing other "distress" with words is a crime. If I point out something you do that I find moral

I try not to be cynical, but I honestly don't think they even care about that with all things being equal. I'm talking about the 90+% of people, not the people we all probably know. It's not about elitism either, it's ju

First thing I’d do for an IP that answers is a reverse lookup, so I expect that’s at least in the list of things they’d try.
