The problem with S/MIME is that it is strictly hierarchical. That already hasn't worked well for TLS. The aim of email encryption is in a large part to prevent government-level par…

Here are some problems, from the top of my head, in no particular order: - Subjects can't be encrypted. - Encrypted mailing lists are complicated. Do you reencrypt in the middle? W…

As a German, I feel very much the same.

Because modern configuration management tools like Ansible (or Puppet, or Salt, or whatever) allow you to do more things more easily. Also, because Bash is a particularly horrible …

HN is a YC marketing tool, it pays for itself quite easily.

The article has nothing to do with Snowden. At all.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a company index.

I don't. So is mine, but resizing it for each individual website is unnecessary work. And some websites have a legitimate need for a wider format, so you can't even say "all websit…

Anyone want to host their mission critical project with a team so small that individual employees have to be on call 24/7? If the company requires more than what can be done in a 4…

That's precisely why you only use subkeys in daily life and only use the root key for keysigning (and ideally store it safely and offline).

That maybe nghst should take a step back from HN and consider that normal people may find the original 2048 fun and may not care about its variants at all. Giving an example is a p…
