UPDATE: Seems to have been renewed. Thank you!

Could someone please tell the maintainer of https://openports.pl (#OpenBSD Ports search) that the cert has expired? 😥

OpenBSD Ports Readme

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

@OpenComputeDesign

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 @OpenComputeDesign

So true. Almost obviates the need for a VPN.

@rl_dane @kabel42

Well tbf, I don't trust VPNs either

@OpenComputeDesign @kabel42

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
