  1. That still means you have to buy 2 certificates just so you can get one for your main domain and your subdomain of choice though. It sucks hugely, compared to StartCom giving a free cert with a subdomain of your choice.

  2. You wanna talk about a shitty pattern of behaviour, look no further than Mozilla.

    They have had nothing but complete contempt for their long-term users by turning their browser into an inferior copy of Chrome.

    FUCK MOZILLA. Total bastards, the lot of them.

  3. It's shit. It doesn't let you choose what subdomain is on the cert, they just add "www". StartCom let you add a custom subdomain so you could secure devel.mydomain.com or something for a development site.

    Argh, this whole situation sucks so much.

    FUCK GOOGLE.

  4. Get back to me on that when Mozilla shut up shop, and officially tell their users to just install Chrome. Probably when Firefox's market share is at 1 or 2 percent. I predict that's exactly what they'll do. They've been on that trajectory for years now.

  5. Yeah but that's useful. I don't always need to "trust an individual or organization", sometimes I just want to be sure I'm really connecting to the proper server(s) for that domain.

  6. Well I'll have to now, won't I?

    I hope you're fucking happy that I and many others have lost our perfectly good free SSL certs that worked fine for years, because literally 2 dodgy certs were issued by StarrCom. Now we'll be out of pocket for no good goddamn reason.

  7. Because instead of a temporary halt on StartCom certs, Google are taking the draconian action of saying they will NEVER TRUST THEM AGAIN. That is ridiculous. What if StartCom start up under a different name, can they be trusted then?

    They made a small mistake. It is so over the top to stop trusting them "for evermore" because of this that it makes me thing they're trying to corner the free SSL cert marker with Let's Encrypt.

  8. Why the hell should we install their stupid software on our servers? It's a totally unnecessary extra security risk. A yearly certificate is PERFECTLY alright and is no kind of security risk. I don't know what Let's Encrypt's game is, but their intractable refusal to issue yearly certs is unacceptable and extremely stupid and I would rather pay for an SSL cert than put up with their bullshit attitude.

  9. This is terrible. Now there is only Let's Encrypt to get free SSL certs, which basically requires you to install their software on your machine to renew your certs because their expiry time is so ludicrously short.

    Fuck you Google (and fuck you Mozilla, Google's lapdogs). I personally can use Pale Moon, but there's nothing I can do about the hordes using Chrome. :-(

    Which sucks if you don't want to install their fucking software on your machine to update the certificate every 5 minutes because they refuse to issue annual ones.

  11. Apple sucks ass.

    Get a Linux laptop. Or a Windows one and install Linux.

  12. The list is never going to lose Linux. It's a perfectly viable alternative.

  13. What has Apple accomplished in eight years?

    Now it competes with your credit card for thinness.

    If anything, a bunch of people requiring electricity overnight for charging their car means nuclear power is needed MORE, not less.

  16. Trump has made it clear he'll be a tough anti-Putin leader. Trump knows Russia has invaded Crimeria, he knows that Crimeria is in Ukraine. Does crooked Hillary know that???

    I know that Gary Johnson sure doesn't.

  17. It's not nearly as bad as this makes it. The threshold is very high.

    I don't give a shit where the threshold is. Any law that has the principle that "offensive hashtags" might, under any circumstances, deserve jail time is an abomination.

    Well I disagree that it's dumb. People do things all the time just to feel good. No really, JUST to feel good. They don't learn anything, they don't help anyone... anything. Like eating chocolate, or horse riding, or reading fiction, or watching movies, or masturbation, to name a few. Unless you think they should all be banned, I fail to see why THEY'RE ok for feeling good, but vaping some pot isn't. The principle is identical.

    I don't have a problem with people smoking pot as long as no one gets hurt. I think it is a stupid thing to do

    Out of interest, do you think drinking alcohol is a stupid thing to do?
