> Do you have any idea of the huge spike in violent crime and terror attacks in Europe which were non existent before 2015 ?
I lived through the IRA years. It seems to have been better in recent years. Nobody has tried to murder immediate family members in this decade or the last.
In the list of incidents we can see in recent years, islamic terrorists were the perpetrators of most of the attacks, they have not been perpetrating nearly as many attacks as home grown separatist organizations in Europe in the 70s and 80s.
You type bullshit, don't check your facts and you should be ashamed.
Same solution. Pay for YouTubeRed and the commercials go away.
Fuck that sideways. Google is taking Youtube off of Amazon devices, and I'm supposed to pay for the privilege of having to purchase another media player? Google can eat every bowl of dicks up.
Retire with two weeks notice and offer being pulled back as a contractor during the transition.
I've seen it done several times. It gives the employer a way out of a hole with time to hire a replacement and the retiring employee doesn't feel bad about training his or her replacement. It gives the retiree a soft landing (E.G. 50% work for a while).
It will end fairly soon because the employer is financially motivated to stop paying the contractor fees.
>I cannot even watch YouTube much the commercials are so grating now.
Same solution. Pay for YouTubeRed and the commercials go away. I tend to use youtube all day for music streaming and hobby related stuff, so it's a reasonable deal. If you subscribe to something else for music, then maybe not so much.
>So you should be on board with what Lets Encrypt is trying to do, which is removing the unnecessary garbage from the CAs for what is handled by a simple automated domain ownership check.
My preference is to kill X.509 and all that goes along with it and replace it with something better. I've been actively working on that for years, but I have low expectations of success.
Of cause they should have named it Let's Authenticate, but that's a quibble.
No most of what we're complaining about is stuff that isn't associated with a domain name, that's nothing to do with Lets Encrypt.
In my case, both with and without.
I have public facing servers with domain names and I develop security solutions in physical products which do not. Let's Encrypt didn't work for the former. X.509 didn't work for the latter.
>there's no way to do static blobs the right way either.
Just compile with the -S flag.
A static program pops out. You can then load it onto a computer and run it, regardless of the installed libraries. I use it all the time for test code, because of the stripped down linuxes we run on new silicon.
It's why a CA can charge hundreds of dollars to perform 50ms of compute effort.
The "50 ms of compute effort" certificates are domain-validated, with just CRL and OCSP as ancillary services. Those typically cost $15 for three years (ssls.com) or nothing for 90 days (letsencrypt.org). The certificates that cost hundreds of dollars are Extended Validation, which ensure not only a connection between the certificate and the domain owner but also that a vandal isn't typosquatting the domain itself. These often come with greater insurance guarantees.
And all those services and fees have nothing to do with my options for securing my own stuff. In fact they just make things worse. As I wrote on another thread, I ran Let's Encrypt's scripts and they crashed. It's a joke built with shoddy code.
I built a CA once, with bespoke software, a screened room, air gaps, man traps and the whole malarky. All to certify communication devices, because all the cert vendors were not interested in selling certs for a few cents each for millions of devices.
The more I have dealt with the cert industry, the more I hate it.
> I set myself up an "internal CA" and loaded its certs on all my browsers/devices.
This is the usual solution for big companies and capable users.
However the flaw is in the certificate specs. Certificates and crypto library auth policies do not have the semantics defined to declare "This cert is for this specific local domain and address space with this unique identifier" so it can be distinguished from all other such places with an identical domain and address space. It's a solvable problem. The browser makers are slow and irresponsible with conflicts of interest abound. That's why certs and the logic in browsers and crypto libraries do not meet your needs and you need to effectively roll your own CA. It's why a CA can charge hundreds of dollars to perform 50ms of compute effort. It's why 2048RSA with SHA256 is marketed at "high security" bullshit.
Actually, if you run the numbers, the break-even is around 20yrs. 2018 Civic EX-L vs 2017 Leaf SV/SL (chosen at random) driven 50mi/day for 300days/yr. The ~14k$ difference will buy a lot of gas and oil changes. Brakes and tires will be about the same between them. If driven to the Leaf's limit (~200mi/day), that number comes down to 4-5yrs, but after a few years of this, the Leaf will no longer have a 200mi range. The Civic will be just fine. (I've seen many go beyond 300k with nothing but oil changes.)
This depends heavily on the price of petrol. In the US, petrol is very cheap compared to a lot of other countries.
In the US a liter of petrol costs about $0.72 . In the UK about $1.60. That's 2.22 times more in the UK. So the fuel savings of electric cars can depend hugely on where you are.
Not quite. If you inject a 50hz signal into a 49.8hz signal youâ(TM)ll get constructive and deconstructive wave patterns but those harmonics will be treated out of the transmission line as substation. And you can say inject voltage or current depending on how the line is setup it all will help calculate power.
If you are matching impedances.
What you do in a grid is relieve the load on turbines, so they speed up a bit.
You can write THE best software in the world but it will Still be useless and worth next to nothing IF No one uses it.
Yes userbase matter, what made WhatsApp popoular is that it is using your phonenumber as screen name so it Will automaticly add everyone in your phonebook
So you think technological literacy is a popularity contest?
Translation : "Old Techie here. I used to be with IT, but then they changed what IT was. Now what I'm with isn't IT anymore and what's IT seems weird and scary. It'll happen to you!"
While I sympathize with the IT professionals who usually get a raw deal from management, I'm not one of them. Pay attention. The information is there.

A pretty graph on Wikipedia supports that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

It works fine on a real computer.
There is a lack of enthusiasm among 50% of the members of my household for using a PC to do this job.
Kids these days.

It was months ago. I followed the instructions on the web site.
I'm not motivated to spend more time on it.
I tried running Let's Encrypt's scripts and they crashed.
Then you're not so 'techy' as your name implies. My 6 year old is capable of running them on her VM.
Oh I can get them running all right. But they're as fragile as heck and don't work with any specific flavour of linux on any of my servers.
dnf install SuSe should work on Fedora to get the SuSe apt rpm to install.

But it's apparently very important to educate users to ignore yet another legitimate warning indication.
What's worse is the implication that if it isn't telling you that it is not secure, it must be secure, because it's using https.
That's what the office printer is for.

Speak for yourself, youngster. "write" is my preferred way of sending messages, and "talk" if more than one line is needed. oo
When I was actually younger, I had dial up BBSs and a little later, KA9Q.
Never said nobody would do it, only that it was a bad business decision.
Nope. TCO of a full electric car is less than a petrol or diesel car. Especially if you drive a lot.
100% wrong.
Did you just pull that out of your arse or did you find some related research. Or maybe a Slashdot article from a few days back.
