It's literately TWO shell commands? One for generating the key in the secure enclave and one for adding it to ssh-agent?

I think certificates should be like badges that you can collect – the more badges the higher the trust. So if you are a French company, maybe the tax office in France can sign your certificate to show that you indeed is a real company. If you are accepting card payments – Visa and Mastercard could sign your certificate. If you have a domain the TLD owner could sign your certificate to show that it's indeed your domain… And so on…

And then the browser could present these badges in a nice way to the user.

What an amazing display of double speak. The only thing I didn't get is how is the DOW doing?

Btw I remember another time you tried to manipulate the DOM of peoples websites. It lead to Cloudbleed.

The thing is that according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights privacy and the right to private communication is a basic human right. And GDPR was literally enacted to enforce this human right.

Now one basic principle of democracy is that supreme courts are superior to the people in power. Someone needs to watch the lawmakers so to say. Because it could actually be that the European commission enacts laws that are illegal. And Chat Control 2.0 could actually be illegal because it violates the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. However, somebody has to take them to The Court of Justice of the European Union to test it.

My experience after 20 years in the hosting industry is that customers in general have more downtime due to self-inflicted over-engineered replication, or split brain errors than actual hardware failures. One server is the simplest and most reliable setup, and if you have backup and automated provisioning you can just re-deploy your entire environment in less than the time it takes to debug a complex multi-server setup.

I'm not saying everybody should do this. There are of-course a lot of services that can't afford even a minute of downtime. But there is also a lot of companies that would benefit from a simpler setup.

I'm surprised no-one seem to have called for a boycott of Github because of Microsoft's involvement with the genocide in Gaza yet.

GDPR partly covers this since it's stated that the user must get information about how personal data is used in a clear and easy readable form. But I guess, there's some wiggle room how to interpret that. The law actually suggest that the industry could come up with symbols – like on food packaging. Your website could have a bunch of standardized icons in the footer to inform you how data is used, but since we don't have that it seems like the industry didn't like that idea of transparency.

"for most commercial organizations"

Most commercial organizations are not "internet" companies. They can run their business on a single VPS. Even e-commerce sites with several million euro turnover can run their Magento instance on a single VPS. Or industries manufacturing things can still run their inventory software or ERP stuff on some cheap VPS.

These kinds of questions would fry my brain. I seriously wouldn't know how to respond to such stupid open-ended questions.

> Can you share an instance where you had to learn new tools or technologies quickly?

If you work with technology it's your fucking job to learn new things every single day?

> Can you tell me about a situation when you made a mistake?

You make fucking mistakes daily, but unless you are a retarded moron you just learn, adjust and move on?

> Can you give me an example of when a major change forced you to re-plan an ongoing project?

Have this person ever worked on a project? Not a single project have ever gone according to plan EVER in the history of humanity!!! But you fucking deal with it because that's what you are getting paid to do!
