on Letsencrypt is under US jurisdiction. Is there a free-er alternative? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 4d ago
Does regular safari show the same prompt? Afaik, browsers on iOS are safari reskins, so I’m curious if they added his cert in directly again, or if the onion browser actually follows standards the os browser doesn’t.

I’m not going to argue the USA is good at all, but yeah that was my point. People are freaking out because of the FUD going around about the capabilities of spy agencies, and the basic lack of curiosity to understand something even on the most basic level.
Like honestly, people should be more worried about the owners of their browsers, since they actually can mark a certificate or chain as untrusted and have it mean something.

Nope, America bad! CIA has magic that let’s them break modern encryption because they employ John Hackerman!
The amount of FUD in this thread is nuts, but I expect that from Internet people with very strong opinions about topics that theyre not particularly well informed on.

It may only be the desktop version, most mobile browsers aren’t as feature complete as their desktop counterparts.
But, given Google ripped revocation checking out of chromium, I wouldn’t be surprised if they nerfed it in Android too…

Most browsers don’t, hence my calling revocation a joke.
So many in this thread are up in arms about something the majority of browsers don’t care about and have actively ignored for as long as I can recall

Certificate revocation is a joke and has been for over a decade

Sometimes you need to put it in the idea oven, because it wasn’t fully baked

Have you ever considered that you’re wasting everyone’s time by not getting to the point?
I genuinely struggle to see the point of any of this.
Clearly, considering you didn’t even check the timing on the messages and see the first one took twice as long (both in time, and in actual messages because half of the second convo are just them thanking each other)

Some people will eventually understand that they’re wasting your time (when they clearly have something they want) by waiting for you to answer (and effectively have to wait on them) before they respond with what the ask is when you could have just answered it the first time.
Those people are just as bad as the ones who just send “hey, can I ask you a question?” and then nothing else until you acknowledge them.

on Pet owners say smart pet feeder outage led to furry ones going unfed in c/technology@lemmy.world · 16 Aug 2026
That’s the kind of limitation I have on mine, but that’s because I have a wireless zigbee plug instead of a real timer, but it’s because I can better change schedules. It’s reliable like 95% of the time, which is good enough for normal use, but I’d be pissed if I paid for an AIO unit that required an active connection to work. At least mine is all on my own network, so it’s (usually) my own fault when something goes sideways

Did you appeal the denial? The automatic system will deny it if it’s outside of the approved window, but I had support override in the past for games that rug pulled.

on Amid RAM price hikes, Microsoft reportedly raises Windows license cost, forcing OEMs to hike prices even further on hardware in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Aug 2026
but go show some uninitiated person a Windows forum where power users are talking about maintaining their system daily or weekly, the average person is going to still nope out.
The OS is immaterial, showing anyone uninitiated the shit power users do, you’ll get that reaction. If you show me, a professional windows admin and a homelab linux admin, a Mac power user forum and my eyes will cross. But for windows or potentially Linux, it’s fine. Don’t use the users’ lack of understanding as a mark against it, because that same mark is on every OS.
Linux itself has been usable by the tech illiterate for over a decade. My dead mother could use it just fine after I got sick of reinstalling windows, and she’s been gone damned near that long. Sure, they have to have assistance in getting it installed right now because even the windows terminal terrifies them, but get it installed and a base configuration in place and it takes care of itself for the most part.

If they aren’t gonna pay out when they should why are we even paying them?
Because you can end up losing your car, being fined thousands of dollars, or in jail for driving without insurance. The fact the peasants get no value from it isn’t important, you better keep paying!

Or, you know, you’d end up dead on your doorstep for trying to invoke your 2nd amendment to the fucking cops. That’s a good way to end up getting a Darwin award.
No alternative is viable if no one uses it.
The network effect is real, and it’s what lets these fascism pushers stay top of mind at all times.
