If you get a letsencrypt certificate it will get probed within a minute

Not all water softeners add salt to the water. nuvoh2o sells a water softener that does not use salt.

Yeah from a software dev perspective the implementations are shockingly terrible from a UX perspective. I'm surprised Stripe doesn't make it automatic with their integration

I think what you're missing is the bank and credit card companies rarely eat the difference. The business who sold the item which was charged back is the one paying the cost of the transaction (no income, lost item) plus a chargeback processing fee (typically $15 per chargeback).

I'm curious if your graph had the number of projects its hosting shown as well?

The current production rate of F35s is actually higher than you might thing (>150 a year) and there is talk of adding another production line due to order backlogs.

They started it because the drivers people used to use from hardware vendors would routinely blue screen windows, which made MS look like the reason windows would crash. Hardware vendors are notoriously inept at software.

The HE keyboards are really great. I have been using the K10 HE for a year and it's the best keyboard I've used.

The sectigo HSM is just a USB stick they actually mail you, so it's not onerous.

New comment by rstupek in "Cert Authorities Check for DNSSEC from Today"

rstupek — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 19:01:06 +0000

I think the fact they don't require it shows it's moribund. If cert providers (or google with their big stick of chrome) specified it is required to have DNSSEC to get a certificate, everyone would jump in line and set it up because there'd be no other choice.

Are they requiring DNSSEC in order to acquire the certificate? That would be a better indicator to me that it's not security theater=security

You claimed they all are malicious sites or they wouldn’t be included but that’s factually incorrect

I know for a fact that GSB contains non-malicious sites in its dataset.

I hate subscriptions as much as the next person but how would you pay for continued development of software? Do you say a person can continue to run version X forever but if they want a new version they pay for it?

I think that's a naïve idea if you think punishing a company will have any affect on the situation.

The problem is wordpress does require a database server by default.

Unfortunately your silly rule is something that exists (not for interior decorators of course) but for countless other trade jobs (barber, plumber, etc). Whether that's good or bad I can't say

What about old school Chris Crawford's book "The Art of Computer Game Design"?
