Hence "Western". Makes sense. Same reason why Europe is doomed and the US will flourish. It's never that simple though, is it? There are numerous counter examples all thoughout history.

That's exactly my point. Users expect desktop software to read their home directory, which is an artefact of running under the same uid. The same can not be said for server software, where the expectation is different. Linux desktop en

To what extent has those findings been verified? I know the was a lot of noise about things that turned out to be mostly imaginary.

Absolutely, I just suspect that wasn't a realistic option at the time. It is obvious a keg of beer has not gone flat but it's probably not as obvious when buying a keg of boiled water (if that even was a thing back then).

Server software is usually compartmentalized in uid:s but desktop software seldom is, if ever. Package managers and maintainers could do a lot here to make it easier. Some things long time Linux users like to do, like running Firefox as a s

That's why it's kept sealed, under pressure. I wouldn't fill a water bottle and let it sit for many months before drinking it ever today. A beer bottle with CO2 atmosphere can sit for a long time. There may be other reasons t

I have taken part in audits for several organizations over the years, and I can assure you that's not how audits are done at all. In fact, should the auditor find there is a way for them to access sensitive data without it being logged

We only hear about the cases where a someone is taking the risk of blowing the whistle, and actually manages to get the story out. Hopefully with enough substance for people to take the information seriously. How many cases that are likely

That's a bit anachronistic. Pike was released in 1994, the same year as Perl 5.0 and Python 1.0. Ruby did not exist yet! Being an offshoot of an existing MUD language it was quite usable even a young language, comparably good performan

There's an obvious risk here, same as with strcpy (no, strncpy.. no, strlcpy... no, strcpy_s) that documentation tends to outlive code, and people keep pasting from tutorails and older code so much that the newer alternatives have a ha

A similar situation to Jobs reciting research on how optimal the one button mouse is. A thought bubble. Why, we will perhaps never know. But likely they were early and it was deemed too expensive back then, or didn't find a supplier th

It also sounds like the right people to handle certificate issuance? If you are not in a good position in the internal organization to control DNS, you probably shouldn't handle certificate issuance either. It makes sense to have a spe

F5 sells expensive boxes intended for larger installations where you can afford not to do ACME in the external facing systems. Giving the TLS endpoint itself the authority to manage certificates kind of weakens the usefulness of rotating ce

This is a bad faith argument. Whatever measures Google takes to prevent this (certificate logs and key pinning) could just as well be utilized if registrars delegated cryptographic trust as they delegate domains. It is also true that these

A domain validated secure key exchange would indeed be a massive step up in security, compared to the mess that is the web PKI. But it wouldn't help with the issue at hand here: home router boostrap. It's hard to give these device

Not only would that set a questionable precedent if users learn to casually add new trust roots, it would also need support for new certificate extensions to limit validity to that device only. It's far from obvious that would be a net

The comment of yours is likely in good spirit, but it mixes reasonable things with completely outlandish ones. From experience, averaging 8 km/h for 2.5 h with 50 kg on the back is just not possible for most people, and likely not for

2 days without water sounds completely idiotic. It could seriously affect your health. The idea that everyone should do some basic military training is a good one, but the above seems focused on some over the top macho stuff. Some basic fir

Define "produce", I guess? The price differential suggests that it refers to final assembly, which is common when components have different tax codes than the final product. Creating domestic jobs this way doesn't have a grea
