PHP has quite a lot of oddities such as how loose comparisons (`==`) are made, numeric-strings, and type coercion. But the two oddities mentioned in the article are not that "odd" …

I think the previous post is talking about a search that will find the sibling domain names that have obtained certificates with the same account ID. That is a strong indication th…

I'm surprised the ballot passed, unanimously even! I get that storing the DNS credentials in the certificate renewal pipeline is risky, but many DNS providers have granular API acc…

Yes, and it's not that long ago, or I aged really quickly. For code signing certificates and EV certificates, (and OV certificates, if they are even alive), this is still the case.…

LetsEncrypt doesn't see your private key when you obtain the certificate. So no, it's not _really_ a juicy target.

If you update via Winget, you are probably safe. Winget downloads the installer from GitHub: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/blob/master/manifes...

Microsoft had a very fair shot at redeeming themselves, but with how Teams, GitHub and all the AI crap they push into GitHub and Windows, it's clear they have not changed one bit.

I know that HN replies must carry some substance, unlike majority of Reddit comments. But I wanted to say that this comment read line a poem to me.

Local meetups are very easy to get selected into, and they often have two or three speakers lined up, with a balance of speakers they know and are experienced, and new speakers. Mo…

I imagine it'll go against your talk getting into the shortlist. But there are some conferences that ask and respect your preference whether you'd like the video recording to have …

To prove a very important point, that EV certificates are broken, someone obtained a "Stripe Inc." EV certificate by registering a company in a different state. https://arstechnica…

Considering how many ACME clients are available today with all sorts of convenient features, and that many web servers nowadays have ACME support built in (Caddy, Apache mod_md, an…

https://github.com/letsencrypt/boulder You can find a docker-compose.yml file to get some idea. Appears to be using MariaDB. They shut down OCSP responders and expiry email reminde…

As someone else mentioned, it's a non-profit, so I guess it's not technically possible to get acquired. But I personally believe that the people behind LetsEncrypt genuinely care a…

It's been a long time so this is my fading memory, but CAs used to generate a private key on their end and let you download both private key and the certificate containing the publ…

This must be how winning in life feels like. I wish your family good health.

the MySQL extension was dropped in PHP 7.0.

iOS shoots HEIF natively I think. Raw photos probably are shot in DNG. DNG "images" are popular for raw images because theyb can be losslessly converted from to the camera raw form…

Thank you. The linked third party article is a terrible incomplete rehash.

Canonical URLs come to the rescue.

> Everything after the '?' character. It only strips known tracking parameters b(like those utm_ query params). It does not remove all parameters; if that's the case, YouTube video…

It's a typical pattern in, say react, to have just this scaffolding in the HTML and let some frond end framework to build the UI.

Yes, I'm just as curious as you on _why_ does a staging setup needs the same amount of resources as prod. All of my staging setups are on a ~$15 Hetzner server, with a GitHub Actio…

It's not better. Short lived certificates are definitely the better way forward. 24 hour certificates will add a significantly more load on CAs, a lot more than maintaining an OCSP…
