  • A hacker group in Seattle (GHI) years ago attempted to build secure systems on top of compromised hardware. Although different levels of security could be achieved, the overall outcome was No. You cannot build a fully secured system on top of compromised hardware.

    A VPS for this exercise counts as ‘compromised’ hardware.















  • No bro, I’ve been here 5 years and these people are not intelligent. Sure there are intelligent people, but taken as a whole Floridians are suffering a mental and intellectual disadvantage.

    Incompetence is a fact of life here, and literally every single waking hour of every single day is affected by it in some way.

    I get your sentiment, but after traveling around the US for a couple decades, hands-down-bar-none these are the dumbest people (en masse) that I have ever encountered.

    [edit] Just go to any grocer and stand at the self-checkout and just watch for an hour. Minimum .25% of the people will be operating at the absolute limit of their mental capacity. No shit. It’s amazing and horrifying.




  • I’ve used Lets Encrypt for years and years, in fact it’s been at least 6?. LE with the encryptbot?, automate the entire process, and then completely forget about it until someone posts on Lemmy asking about it.

    It’s been long enough I’ve forgotten the proper names of the software and I would have to go back through my notes to recreate it.

    Just checked the logs and it’s fine.

    Don’t pay for shit.
