To me, OpenBSD project is the "gold-standard" of security. If they [1] consider WireGuard to be a project worthy of importing, then I don't need any random article to convince me otherwise of its security properties. [1] htt

I believe (s)he wanted imply reddit's official app displays a lot of inline advertisements and other stuff that makes it difficult to determine what is legit subscribed content and what is sneakily inserted by reddit. Maybe I am wrong.

Hahaha... I can relate to that. Email is synonymous with Gmail now, something that only dads and uncles use. :-)

LibreSSL is an alternative from OpenBSD.

To my mind, it is "correlation" that is being posed as a "causation". Science is never certain, though the Climate Scientists are absolutely certain. See the disconnect? It is more likely this alarmist/doomsday posi

The "targeted" content diversifies based on what FB thinks would interest you. FB is better at predicting your interests and hobbies than you do, which eventually leads to doomscrolling.

Tesla has always made me nervous, especially its remote software update/access capability doesn't inspire confidence nor a full proof-of-ownership. What is saved in gas is lost in repairs! :-(

Talking of "honor" and "security" in the same breath reminds me of Ken Thompsons seminal Turing Award Lecture "Reflections on Trusting Trust" [1] [1] https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/358

Agreed - dismissing the lab-leak theory early on without conclusive evidence either way was certainly suspicious. Any scientist worth his/her salt shouldn't dismiss any theory outright without having hard data to back it up.

You shouldn't discount the possibility that your kid has been stealing from you all along, making things disappear when your cousin visited everytime to throw suspicion on him. ;-) (Allright, I'm just trying to lighten the mood).

Unless you are very sure that McAfee was "clearly unhinged individual", it is a strong statement and ad hominem. Doesn't help add to the discussion than mere gossip.

I've rarely seen any enterprise Slack ever configured for session timeouts. Misplaced trust on the employee device combined with convenience over security.

In my experience, the only way to be happy most of the time with what you do is possible iff you are intrinsically motivated to do it. If you make money doing it, that is the best case scenario. Else you can make it a hobby, and still be

Rather than hit-and-run, it may be useful to propose an alternative, so I can examine my position and correct if necessary. Thanks.

I agree with your opinion. I consider "Citizen" filling a usefull role of protection for those who can afford it. As/when they start becoming problematic, we will figure out how to deal with it. Until then, we have to go by t

The inherent difference in design philosophies of both operating systems will make it arguably difficult to target Linux in the same manner Windows is being targeted today.

This is the most likely outcome in my opinion. I won't be surprised if the insurance lobby has made this happen. :-)

I would design a "kill switch" in the car that makes it a "dumb" car as in 1990s. In the event of a detected compromise, flip the switch and enjoy the drive!

Wonderful observation, enjoyed reading this. I am surprised though you did not recognize DMR (Dennis M. Ritchie) and BWK (Brian W. Kerighan). :-)

I believe experience with USPS varies across the board from worst to the best. I am in the Bay Area, and in the last 8 or so years, USPS has been the best among all carriers. Be it package, letter or a Registered Parcel. Of course, my exper

Well, that is what happened in the case of SolarWinds -- legit signatures on the dll that was modified early in the supply-chain. :-(

I hardly call this "proof" - the cyclists belong to Parsi community, an affluent and financially stable community in India for a long time now. Thus, they would be an exception, not the rule.

Hmmm... for that kind of stuff, I've found sslshopper's page to be very useful. https://www.sslshopper.com/article-most-common-openssl-comma... And for the TLS handshake, this is incredibly useful: https:/&#

Facebook doing it of its own volition is one thing, and I'd argue they are within the right to do so. Government pressurizing Facebook to censor stuff is entirely other ballgame, which poses a bigger risk, and nobody seems to be paying

Yes, I think the fundamental cornerstone of zero-trust is the blurring of network perimeter (porous perimeter).

That would require severe restrictions on users to a point where security actually becomes a bottleneck to normal functionality. A better way is reduce the cooperation to the minimum necessary, as opposed to eliminating it. For example, my
