Note that DuckDuckGo doesn't use Diffie-Hellman for its key exchange, so if someone gets ahold of their private keys once, they can decrypt all previously captured traffic as well as all future traffic. It seems they use the same cert

What? Making a linked list in e.g. C is so easy it's not even a task. It may just be a property of some struct you're making. struct foo { int x; struct foo *next; };

As far as I can see, this debacle is entirely the fault of one journalist at The Washington Post, and the people who believed his interpretation of some aspects of some PowerPoint slides. A lot of hot air was also generated by people who h
