Sure? MitM isn't a new kind of attack, and I'd be surprised if the ball-of-wax-and-javascript that is WebAuthn isn't vulnerable to that...

There is a lot of stuff missing. I'm from a region in Germany where every other village has it's own castle, ruin or palace. There needs to be some selection, otherwise it's just more overwhelming. Therefore I do like the map

Great idea about ring binders. They also solve another problem that I've always had with paper notebooks: When a glue/stitch-bound paper notebook gets full, I have to start a new one. But there will always be some pages with unres

Why would I care about a court? There are a hundred different issues that are more important to me than the usability of my notebook in a court proceeding. And even so, that proceeding might easily be one against you, so why would you want

Yes of course, the capitalist way of thinking forces lower resource consumption, as long as those resources are measured in monetary expenses. But when thinking about society and the environment, there are different considerations that make

I'm not sure if it's Google's fault alone. My impression is, all browsers are holding back on everything HTML-native and JavaScript-free. There have been literal decades of no progress, and only tiny steps forward as of late.

Nothing with the DHCP server. But as per the article, many clients won't accept such an address. And even if they would accept it, duplicate IP assignments are yet another exciting and hard to debug network problem.

You don't understand, both comes from the same motivation and way of thinking: You see, compliance in Germany is about pretending to be super-compliant and not getting caught. Everyone will do the dance, make all the moves, and if you

You are right in that there are cases where signatures need to be quantum-safe, and they need to be urgently replaced because they will be long-lived. But WebPKI, which letsencrypt is concerned with, doesn't need long-lived signatures

There is nothing answered in there. Just "It'll be fine" and vague pointing at unrelated ecc vulnerabilities in some libs. It totally lacks any rational arguments.

You didn't read what I wrote. The news is about trading prices. End users never pay those, because there are fixed network fees to be paid on top. So the actual bill will practically never have a negative price on it anywhere. And even

It doesn't, for reasons of price. For consumers, power prices consist of the actual price of power, plus network fees. Network fees are fixed at (on average) something like 10ct/kWh or 100€/MWh. So negative prices are only re

Western car makers learned the hard lesson that, at least in most of Europe, electricity prices are far too high, EV prices are too high, and customers do know how to use their calculators. In Germany, the only thing propping up the EV mark
