@rl_dane Currently more used and maintained to my knowledge: https://openbsd.app/

OpenBSD.app

OpenBSD package search

Sweet, thank you!

Updated [my script] :)

searchall: changed from https://openports.pl to https://openbsd.app for OpenBSD ports search. Also changed from using w3m as the default html renderer to using lynx, as it doesn't try to render the tables (which looks awful in the terminal) · 0eb76cbe08

@rl_dane I hate the concept of certs _so fucking bad_, ngl

I mean, for ecommerce, it makes sense.

For "you have to do this just to have encryption on your website, even if you're not even pretending to be a reputable anything, nor selling anything at all," it's super-dumb. :P

@rl_dane

Yeah, it's counter productive for like 99% of the web

@OpenComputeDesign @rl_dane
Pro: most traffic on the web is now encrypted so if you need to crypt something, it doesn't stick out anymore

@kabel42 @rl_dane

Cons: The whole cert system is a very "big corp" solution that along with questionable centralization, is also annoying as _fuck_ to interact with

I get that.

Also, you need to change your user name (not the @____@domain part).

Better?

Kinda meta, so yeah. XD

@rl_dane @OpenComputeDesign
I get OCD and ICD but BOG? :)

@kabel42 @rl_dane Isn't the bog where you put shit? :P

@kabel42 @OpenComputeDesign

@OpenComputeDesign @rl_dane no, thats a wetland with very diverse fauna and flora that flourishes because it naturally keeps all most of the (bad) humans out

🤣

@kabel42 @OpenComputeDesign

@OpenComputeDesign @rl_dane sure, CAs are a worse than used car salespersons, but ..., but, ... 🤷

So true. Almost obviates the need for a VPN.

@rl_dane @kabel42

Well tbf, I don't trust VPNs either

No, you're just outsourcing the single point of snooping to a different company. :P

@rl_dane @kabel42

How you're told cyber security works when you're first getting started: "Zero trust"

How it actually works: "Consolidated trust"

@OpenComputeDesign @rl_dane VPNs work if you control both ends

@kabel42 @rl_dane

As a virtual, private network, I'm sure they work just fine. But as the virtual private, network they're sold as, ehhh :P

@OpenComputeDesign @rl_dane sure, thats just for netflix/... geoblocking

@kabel42 @OpenComputeDesign

lol yes. Nice wordplay.

a.k.a. Tailscale?

How it actually works: sign here, lowly analyst, so that when we have to blame someone for our institutional apathy and incompetence, we can blame you.
