Please also make the open-source licensing clearer. I couldn't figure out which license they are actually under. It refers to CC 4.0, but creative commons currently has 6 different licenses in version 4.0.

That should only be an issue if projects have to be named with a preexisting word. But that practice will basically always end up conflicting with the existing meaning of the world. IMO the best names are words which previously didn't

OCSP always seemed a bit absurd to me: Instead of sending a OCSP stamp, the CA could also issue a very short lived certificate on demand. It would have the same effect of asserting that the CA currently considers the server to be verified a

I think the issue isn't that much that no reasonable hardware can archive it, but that the "compromise" actively encourages not just insecure systems, but also making systems even less free . It's a bit like saying that

Personally I prefer ifconfig.me which takes this idea one step further. Especially: Querying it with curl (or another system requesting plain text) really only returns the IP, not some HTML page. (Opening it in the browser also shows some u

I don't know, but since GitHub allows you to show commits from any fork with a URL referencing another fork, GitHub seems to use a common object store for all forks. Maybe setting up the separate issue tracker and Pull Requests takes s

Do the new configuration options allow accessing the list of trusted CAs? Or if doubting the CA trust decisions from our Mozilla overlords is considered too much blasphemy, can we at least see details of the certificate for the current site

If you look at the graph for the address pool ( https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv4/ipv4-pool ) you see that the number of available addresses rose starting from February 2020 and then was rather constant

The graph starts in November 2019 because that is when the waitlist system was introduced. There's not point in going back further because further back the waitlist didn't exist.

The issue is not so much about many fonts, but about one big font. The first time a font is loaded it has to be analyzed and cached and for some fonts this leads to excessive resource usage. You can avoid that in recent versions by usin
