I've taken my stack of old laptops and created a microk8s cluster out of them for the purpose of self-hosting random stuff.

Agreed, this is a problem that we will solve through scientific innovation in power generation (nuclear) and carbon sequestration. The solutions that fall in the emotional domain often involve legislation and a reduction in quality of life.

Industrial control systems are experiencing the growing pains of letting go of older technology that was designed prior to security being much of a concern. ICS networks are often designed to be 'air gapped'. All too often the air

I understand the sentiment. I certainly have my own bouts of intense paranoia related to security and the privacy of my personal stuff. It can become unhealthy. However, I think as long as the majority are complicit with email providers tha

Ah, I guess the point I'm missing is that with a 'serverless' setup, the cloud provider must have access to your private key? Unless you use some sort of key server setup (what they call Keyless SSL)

I have an XPS 15 9550 as well and primarily use ubuntu. I feel your pain on the failure to hibernate/heating up in a bag. Dell seems to have had plenty of issues with buggy BIOS and motherboards on this laptop. Last week mine became af

I wonder how Rice got this data. The more interesting story is that if you can get this data (MITM or some other means), you could front run a fund by figuring out who they’re researching.

Agreed. Bitcoin solves some problems with current forms of payment that shouldn't be unique to blockchain. Credit cards and checks are the equivalent of giving vendors your wallet's private key.

Isn't this just key pinning? I'd like to see a P2P system. This way governments can't force CA's to allow MITM.

I agree, VPS providers don't inherently provide any added security or privacy.There's not much that would stop these providers from jumping at an offer to hand over your data for a pile of cash. If you want privacy, use Tor. If yo

Regulation doesn't affect the ability of a currency to be influenced. It just puts that ability in the hands of a select few. The US govt prints money to pay off maturing debt. After some time, this scheme will come to a disastrous end

Yes, since you can't trust the JS, doing this would be an attempt at security through obfuscation. I mostly just think it's strange that these keys aren't accessible. If there were ever a mismatch detected, the server could a

Public key pinning helps but it operates on the assumption that the initial key is the correct one. I find it curious that these public keys are not readable by the client.

Yes, greater for security but still depends upon reliability of certificate authorities and ISPs. ISPs have the ability to issue the client a bogus certificate while they hold the real one in order to decrypt traffic. Why won't browser
