You absolutely don't need to understand code signing to know what an OID is or does. Also, the suggestion that you need to pay $1000 to get your own OID tree to use is naive at best and disingenuous at worst. The Private Enterprise Num

So the original press release from Kenya's space agency stated "about 500kg". This is then converted to "some 1,100 lbs" for some backwater non-metric country. That's then editorialised to "over 1k pounds&

You've never heard of parents overreacting to news that their daughter has had a consensual sexual relationship with someone? I'm not sure if I envy or pity whatever kind of sheltered life you've lived.

It also matches the sad stereotype that middle management types with no real clue what their staff do, need to see bums on seats to have any concept of worker productivity because they're incapable of measuring the actual productivity

What loophole was being abused that caused Redis the company to pull the proverbial rug? The "big evil corporation" that usually gets referenced is AWS. One of the core comitters to the Redis project when it was open source, was p

MariaDB is one of the biggest ironies to me: it was started because people claimed Oracle was going to do Oracle things with it, and somehow make it not open any more. What actually happened is: - Oracle has just made MySQL better, and co

I for one can't wait to see the new ways of being disingenuous and deceptive the likes of Peter Dutton find to spin things so they can continue to create opportunities for their buddies to make a profit at the expense of the rest of us
