  1. Re:Why do I need SSL? on Google Will Soon Let You Know By Default When Websites Are Unencrypted (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Self signed, freebie or bought. If you do not trust the free ones, why do you trust HTTP without any certificates?

  2. No

  3. Re:Why encrypt non-sensitive content? on Google Will Soon Let You Know By Default When Websites Are Unencrypted (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    The warning is not about the encryption, but about the trustworthiness. When you accepted a self signed certificate (after you checked it, i hope for you), you will get no warnings anymore. If you did not check and accept it, it's correct to warn you.

  4. Re:Why encrypt non-sensitive content? on Google Will Soon Let You Know By Default When Websites Are Unencrypted (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    you're missing free certificates and that HTTP with TLS should be the new standard. It was a design fail to allow HTTP to be unencrypted all these years. Now you just need to adopt a new practice.

  5. This isn't too stupid, as an icon is faster and easier to understand than looking for a single letter.

    That's a easy one. Timezones. The sun is the same, but the timezone is different. You see, the earth MUST be flat.

    Some girls find it fun to send him nudes or ask for snapchat. so what?
    The NSA might see the nudes. So what? Will they send them around the net? propbably not.
    clickbait article.

    memleaks? Back in the days, people knew how to program.

  10. Re:Oh yeah! on Seagate Adopts Helium For a 10TB HDD (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    The result was, some are way better.

  11. Even if it would work flawless, the problem is "the targeted group". For the NSA, the target is the suspected terrorist (one wrong word in a mail), his friends and the friends of his friends. As TARGETs. So even when all others are spared, its still the average number of friends to the power of two.

  12. Re:Why would anyone tolerate this bullshit!? on 'Get Windows 10' Turns Itself On and Nags Win 7 and 8.1 Users Twice a Day (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    They would install it without your consent, if they didn't know about the amount of lawsuits when it breaks anything. So they annoy you and hope you break the things yourself, if anything breaks.

  13. They just ignore how much the force is used when there was no camera. Such a death star does not build itself.

  14. Re:Wrong on Which do You Prefer: Mobile Web Apps or Mobile Websites? (Video) · · Score: 1

    Because an app is faster than a website which loads 5 MB of javascript frameworks and 3 MB of tracking scripts and tries to emulate an native gui with a rather slow render engine of your browser opposed to the native widgets of your operation system.

    Of course, just a plain simple website would do the job, with less crap than many apps are, but that's no choice you get offered.

  15. Clickbait on Microsoft Monitoring How Long You Use Windows 10 (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Windows 10 is doing much worse stuff, they probably report the uptime during windows update.

    But "we have contacted ms" in the summary and then in the article "ms had nothing to say" is just clickbait. Stop it.

  16. Re:what on IPv6 Turns 20, Reaches 10 Percent Deployment (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and whats the problem now?

    You run your servers at the public ip (intended) and surf from the temp-addr (intended). The websites cannot track who in your organization is visiting them and how many employees you may have. But people can reach you on the public ip, normally via dns.

  18. List of lame excuses for not using linux on List of Major Linux Desktop Problems Updated For 2016 (narod.ru) · · Score: 1

    Many of us use (only) linux every day and it just works.
    It's easier just to use an easy linux distribution than to compile such an list of "oh, when i search deep enough, there may be still a problem" excuses for being lazy.

  19. Its not called Linux, its Systemd/Linux or like i prefer Systemd+Linux.

  20. Re: 4xx are for user error, 5xx is for sever error on HTTP Error Code 451 Approved For Censored Web Pages (mnot.net) · · Score: 1

    Personally i think 410 does not fit both 4 and 5. 2 would be an option in the sence, as it was received and understood (no question?) and accepted (but with the response "nothing here anymore"). But it does not fit the intention, that the client wanted to retrieve something and failed in it.

    Put it another way: If the client says "give me the contents of this box", is giving him nothing when the box is empty an "Okay" response, but he is probably not satisfied with it.

    yeah, no longer available would be 410, where the 4 is kind of wrong. It should be more like 2xx with the information "correct, but gone".

    410 is similiar, because you cannot know it. 403 is just correct, because you could probably know, if you're allowed to access something. i.e. /cgi-bin/ should be known to be inaccessible.

    OTOH you're not obliged to know, whats censored. It's even the other way round, most governments want you not to know, what's censored. So it's not your error to access the ressource.
