correction: literally 99.99999% of endpoints. they use password^W SMS authentication instead. no seriously, how is the only one good thing about X.509 (authentication via public key) the only unused part (to be fair, if anyone used it, wed

how is it even possible to have the question of whether there can be an infinite loop during establishing a data channel? just make the user provide the public key and do a handshake [1]. X.509 is literally a non-practical academic idea lik

why would it be pointless? everything should be anonymous by default. that's how the internet always worked before corpo scum shat all over it. now the next question is whether you can actually _do_ anything over Tor on there. do they

I know you really want to point out how the main purpose of this is polling (training), but you had to make the claim that we are just accustomed to seeing "deepfakes". So I'm gonna tell you why that's not the case. This

it also creates a giant attack surface because its a giant pile of C/C++ (was, dunno current state). the solution has always been to isolate browsers and run one isolated browser per "web app" until the web finally dies.

Literally every nutrient or substance has a million good effects as well as bad. Articles extolling the virtues (or 1 virtue) or a nutrient are generally clickbait, including the original research. I hate how researchers take some nutrient

Software doesn't need to be updated constantly (and certainly should not be web based). It shouldn't have a single vuln. Vulns are because of hobbiest amateurs from the 90s who don't know what they're doing. Real vulns l
