I think its important to consider the audience for torrenting. When I was a teenager, the majority of the content I consumed was downloaded for free. I think this was hugely helpful in shaping my taste and mind. I would assume a large amoun

no comment on this, but... to anyone who is using LibreSSL, make sure to patch to 2.1.2: http://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2014-9424/

Hi! I was wondering is this a custom built solution? We could use this exact framework for internal reference for our products.

I agree with most of your statements, except that I like to think of HTTPS primarily as an indication of encryption not trust. If you dont have end-to-end encryption whats the point of trusting the involved parties when its so easy for an u

I agree that while Cloudflare's announcement is great, it does subvert the visual indicator of the green browser padlock. Yes, its possible for any implementation of SSL to use the same method Cloudflare is using, and not provide end t

Hi John, I know Cloudflare will be announcing later today, but how will people be enabling Full SSL (Strict) with this new rollout? I see these certs being issued out automatically are to subdomains at cloudflare. Will customers who want to

I agree that this false sense of security is troubling. Many inexperienced site owners will think setting up Flexible SSL with Cloudflare is all they need to do. And it is unclear if the enduser has any way to see if the site they are conne

On your second point.... Governments should be assumed to be bad actors and they certainly have some of the deepest pockets. If an open market increases the price, it would seem to make it a better market for bad actors. Especially if we th

“Researchers find them, they sell them to us for X, we sell them to clients for Y and make the margin in between.” A glorified reseller and scumbag. Pathetic.

This article is amazing! I work in the SSL industry and this is a huge help in summarizing exactly whats going on. @konklone, have you followed the CAB Forum's mailing on this topic? Its the most I've seen them argue in well over

Can you explain more about the fees they charge? As we have been discussing, usually transaction fees are 5% or less. Obviously for the airlines this is significant to their small margins, but isnt the fee they charge for using a credit car

First of all, thats from the consumer point of view, I am specifically talking about from the business point of view. (With a credit card btw, you DO get money back - its called cashback. I get 2% back on my Discover card. Bitcoin does not

Can anyone please explain the OBSESSION that bitcoin supporters have with the idea of getting rid of credit card fees and having that savings passed to the consumer? I don't work in the finance department at my company, but from what I

For anyone arguing this was the right decision... the bottom line is that now Ikea has made me very aware that they care more about the brainless legal bullying of corporate business than applauding a patron who loves their goods. I can onl
