I don’t know how you got “always return the same output” from “choose the output randomly according to [a non-uniform] distribution”.

No, I’m not talking about protecting women’s rights. I hope if you were to imagine (in good faith!) a person “whose entire personality is protecting women’s rights” and a person “whose entire personality is being anti-trans” you’d come up w

Nothing concrete in any of those links, but they all smack of bad faith (and the middle one didn’t even depict a ban). That said, if people whose entire personality is being anti-trans perceive Bluesky as ban-happy and aren’t interested in

The relevant RSA break is sufficiently powerful quantum computers, which also break ECDH (actually, ECDH is easier than classically equivalent-strength RSA for quantum computers[1]), so no, you’re not fine. [1] https://security.s

Well, you didn’t link to that example exploit, and a random sampling from their profile looked legitimate. Do you have the specific link?

I was answering your question about when they went into browsers with a link, and summarizing it in a parenthetical. So much for “replies explaining that welcome”, I guess.

Because the point of cache is to save time, not waste it. Like most naïve delays in response to timing attacks, that also doesn’t solve the tracking problem – if there’s any detectable difference (consider a cross-site tracking server that

Because of modern cache partitioning, HTTP/2+ multiplexing, and sites themselves being served off CDNs, external CDNs are now also worse for performance. If you use them, though, use subresource integrity.
