    On a related note, pinning the public keys of TLS certificates in browsers used to be a thing (HPKP) and it did mitigate certain classes of attacks with caveats (i.e, let's hijack …

    Cloudflare has an enterprise plan that should in theory be more hardened against abuse complaints. I do agree about the sorry state of domain registrars these days.

    Some Linux distributions require adding udev rules for applications to have USB device access but other then that, it's pretty much plug and play. A bit more convenient than having…

    How many hoops do you need to jump through (as a small to medium size company), to get an account at MarkMonitor, CSC or another one of those "brand protection" companies? Over the…

    That's fair, and even "I" as a "partial supporter" think they need to tune down the marketing machine a bit. It's a shame because they're really the only company doing what their d…
