Oh wow, and here I thought having clients check that record was the whole point, as a layer of defense against rogue CAs. Thank you so much, I hadn't realized. =)
CAA DNS records aim to make that more difficult, actually, but otherwise AFAIK you're right. =) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_Certification_Authority_Au...
> To say they don't have any way of MITM'ing a connection is wrong even if it's unlikely. I totally agree, it's why I qualified it with "just by virtue of them being the one validating the cert for a certain website"…
As I understand it, a CA doesn't have a way of MITMing connections just by virtue of them being the one validating the cert for a certain website. You don't share the private keys of your certs when you generate…
Wow, the visualizations on that article are really well-made. I live in Montreal so it's a very interesting read, thank you for sharing it! =)
I agree with the similarity but as you're saying there was always the possibility of leaving town. It wasn't a convenient solution, and you might very well repeat the same actions wherever you go, but at least you could…

That's exactly it! I've bookmarked it for future reference, thank you so much! =)

On Android, you can put a file called ".nomedia" in those folders to achieve this.
As I recall the idea was to promote looking for a Pixelfed instance with a community that fits your needs and interests, which in turn makes the network stronger by distributing the userbase over a variety of servers.…

Ah, good to know. At least the title isn't wrong, even if it's not reflected in the content of the article. Thanks!

IMO, Occam's Razor is only meaningful when there are two competing hypothesis, one of which is markedly simpler than the other. Mentioning it in a context of "surely it can't be this complicated" without pointing…

It does, actually. I've been using it since last week, with the SourceTree update issues and all.
