Certificate transparency demands the same from all authorities. This is not limited to LetsEncrypt.

If only we had some standardized and ubiquitous kind of format, a markup language that allows hyperlinks. If could have embedded pictures and interactivity!

Also 90% of the time, the other company is of course the most persistent offender of all, Microsoft itself.

What changes is someone else takes the responsibility. If all goes south, Nintendo can sue for damages and claim gigantic amounts of money. It’s difficult to deal with that responsibility using a community that is focused on writing stories

Cool but I wonder about how it’s setup. Who’s paying for hosting? Who’s going to answer when Nintendo comes in with copyright claims or when someone starts drama?

Except when you consider the adverse effects, then we couldn’t have known that!

In other news, science can’t be expected to know how one can be protected from the coronavirus, because it’s new and nothing is known. However, humans manipulating the virus in a lab is perfectly safe and fine and responsible and can in no

In my opinion a computer wiz has enough talent and knowledge about tech that he can very quickly learn how to do all these things. And I don’t doubt for a second that Linus would be able to learn Wireguard, systemd or any networking system

> a) FFP2 masks work - I strictly wore one indoors and didn't get sick Great! So if people are still afraid of catching COVID, they can just protect themselves with the masks. Problem solved.

Why would you do all that when the minimalist desktop apparently is running a mail client, an irc client and an ftp client? You can do all that minimal desktop does and much more without MacOS ‘wasting your time’. Do you really want to pret

Writing version 0.1 of a kernel from scratch very much does mean you are a computer wiz, how else are you going to make it run? You need to program the base hardware of the computer manually! Of course if to you a computer wiz is someone wh

True, it depends on what you consider the ends. If you consider the ends to be the device and the storage, it’s encrypted all the way. But if you consider the ends to be the original device and the new device, it is not end to end encrypted

They are end to end encrypted, but you are not the only one holding the key. So although you can’t see for yourself, Apple does control who gets to look and there is no analytics going on. And you can of course always chose to run local, en

The mainstream media will be frothing at the mouth at how Apple products are built on slave labor, while all phones, Apples and their competitors, are built in mostly those same factories. The only difference is that Apple publishes their y

Mining is solving some kind of puzzle. If not a lot of blocks get mined, the difficulty the puzzle is reduced. This way the system automatically balances so mining a block costs about as much as you gain when you solve the puzzle first.

Anyone who gets presented the certificate can check if it is in the log, and if it is not the authority is exposed and can be held accountable by the parties that manage the root certificate stores (browser and OS vendors).

This is also arguably malicious, it is not for them to get certificates for your domain and snoop your traffic. I’d hope this is not ‘incredibly common’, in my opinion it is completely unacceptable. The certificate certifies the holder is t

Windows 10 has for years automatically loaded a driver for certain Logitech webcams that adds a class driver to all media devices, which can’t be loaded if you have the security turned up. So the result is you can’t load sound drivers anymo

Whatever, just make sure you don’t move to swap files on ZFS because it doesn’t work properly.

It’s perfectly fair to point out that Apples approach, which HackerNews loves to whine about, prevents exactly this kind of spyware.

If you just prepend a counter you can very easily sidestep the issue. Be sure to lookup though the behavior of the encryption algorithm if a part is known, predictable or chosen by an attacker.

Wonder how they plan to avoid what made Intel transition to names like Pentium from 80586, the impossibility of trademarking numbers.
