that's roughly 1/45th probable downtime window = 2.22% downtime probability (yeah, it's a figure not a real proba ;-) )

compared to say, roughly 1/365 probable downtime window for a 398 days cert lifetime = 0.25% downtime probability

let's pray you don't need to rotate when it's down...

Dan Geer famously said: "Dependency is the root cause of risk"...

PS: even stricter shortlived durations in some context:

Internal/Private 1 – 7 days Corporate VPNs, Internal apps

Ephemeral 5 mins – 1 hour Docker containers, CI/CD runners

You're advocating for going the way of dystopian china?

Gee... Those who trade privacy for security will get neither (and deserve none?)

Given the uptake of FastAPI and FastHTML, is there any plans for these on top of Flask?

What are other equipments similar to this one but different?

There seems to have many GPS location trackers on the market, are they all based on the same hardware?

Excellent composite quote:

"Art is for seeing the world from different perspectives. And also money laundering and tax avoidance."

Is there a fastapi equivalent?

Well they certainly can’t feel good about not detecting egress DDoS from their customer usage.

It could be VPN originating or maybe Worker originating maybe?

Don’t they have a security.txt and security@ email address?

Looks like posting to social media the full analysis of the attack is the sensible thing to do.

So what's the rationale behind this data?

They got so much better at advising startups?

Startups are being insulated for real world truth eg. Due to too much funding?

Data is corrupted?

What's written is quite right, but is quite short ;-)

I was expecting a bit more "Then what" (the rest of the website is okayish).

One thing that also is important is: luck in timing, mass in market.

You can be as daring as you want, if you don't come at the right time for the market, and if the market is not sizable enough, then your effort will be fruitless.
