@Vuraniute what do you want added? Specs are open, are there enough others who want that to make it happen for community?

@ireneista @mike_k go back to paying hundreds of quid a year for TLS?

is only game in town and IDK what their plan is given

Today I will try to do a clean installation of Windows 11 on my currently-Windows 10 “main” PC.

I am doing this by carefully removing the NVME with W10 on it, inserting a nice new clean NVME, and doing a clean install. Meaning a full revert-back is possible if excrement hits ventaxia.

Nonetheless, I mean, I feel like I still need luck/positive thoughts/prayers.

@tychotithonus "for want of 20 dollers, the site was down. For want of a site, sales were down. For want of sales, the business was lost"

How are the folks opting for 3-day certs accounting for the risks of denial of issuance service?

@tychotithonus presumably those folks are the ones who really care about private key leaks? Very few people, massive sites. Will forcing shorter lifetimes cause more risk for normal sites, sure, but not much?

47 days is a long time for to be down. But look who funds them, and thinking about going away...

This is how you drive #Linux adoption. People are gonna think really hard about using Windows when they have to fork out another $211 for the privilege of installing spyware on their PCs.

@cwebber in theory it is. In practice one company runs all the servers, and it's not practical to run own due to storage cost and huge rate of increase

It's worth asking again who would benefit from taking CVE offline? Surely not the United States government, nor its private companies. Not its allies (such as they are now) in Europe. But it almost certainly would help our adversaries, like China and Russia, because confusion and uncertainty works to their advantage always.

So, uh, I'm curious about why Amnesty's Mobile Verification Toolkit that removes Pegasus spyware is included as a malware site in Eero's security filters. I'm also curious about how those security filters were enabled on my home network. That's fun.
