    then you're hitting the db on every request just to do auth. if you _had_ to do that, I would put the counter into something like redis instead.

    watched the whole thing. was very informative. Actually havent used RSA in any capacity in years (AES is a lot easier to use), but always viewed RSA as a battle-tested encryption m…

    that would be insanely illegal.

    Yeah, if you need that kind of control over token access, then im not certain a jwt is the right tool for the job. For most use-cases a short-lived jwt is fine, as it expires in a …

    I can see that. I suppose when people say they need 'server-side session storage' I start thinking of app state, but in reality it could be as simple as storing a jwt refresh token…

    i have never seen anything anywhere advocating for moving away from RSA. i'm curious to see what their sources are for this claim.

    well, good luck getting buy-in from the cli tool devs, then? the other option requires absolutely zero buy-in from homebrew, gatsby, dotnet, or any other cli.

    are there documented cases of these cli tools abusing their telemetry? are they entirely used to pinpoint performance issues and bugs within the tools that implement this telemetry…

    my question here is: are we really concerned about console tools overreaching their telemetry? personally, I am not. I would love to know why others think this is some kind of huge…

    I liked the Gatsby comment/suggestion a lot better: a tool for automatically setting the do-not-track env flags for all different dev tools.

    you don't have to clone it. cloning the object and putting it in Vuex will still result in it being reactive. `Object.freeze` is what I used. This causes Vuex to not traverse the o…

    best solution is to use int/long primary keys, with a uuid column that has a unique index. then the uuid can be used with public-facing apis.

    almost like having competition drives innovation up and prices down. too bad most ISPs have literal monopolies over entire regions of people.
