cacert.org unnecessarily tried to merge real-world authentication of people with certificates to sites.

Btrfs is actually in use by some big companies like Facebook but the initial issues seem to linger in people's memory and thus everyone and their cat avoids btrfs like fire. It reminds me of systemd for some reason.

For the record I'm using btrfs on Arch (so recent kernel) for years with no issues (including LUKS encrypted root filesystem and RAID1 arrays for backups).

The most plausible explanation is that the tech is patented to such a degree that producing this kind of solutions is just not economically viable.

W3C doesn't really have any real power over what happens in the internet today. It's browser vendors associated with WHATWG that draw the straws now.

Is there a high-to-low level design document to read on how to verify the timestamp? A simple OP_RETURN + hash output in a transaction is dead simple to verify (just get the transaction from any place, see the output, check the timestamp). I'd like to compare OTS with it.

Peter, OpenTimestamps are great. Is there a plan to get the raw ots file for embedding in OpenPGP signatures (as notation data) so that I could be sure that the signature was made at given time? (Just like RFC 3161 - style timestamping data).

It seems there are many toothing problems with Deno. I just tried stuff from their blog (https://deno.com/blog/v1.8):

    $ deno run --unstable --allow-write=output.png https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crowlKats/webgpu-examples/f3b979f57fd471b11a28c5b0c91d0447221ba77b/hello-triangle/mod.ts
    Download https://crux.land/2arQ9t
    Download https://crux.land/api/get/2arQ9t
    error: Import 'https://crux.land/api/get/2arQ9t' failed: 404 Not Found
        at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crowlKats/webgpu-examples/f3b979f57fd471b11a28c5b0c91d0447221ba77b/deps.ts:4:0

(A dependency got removed?)

Another one:

    $ deno run https://deno.land/v1.8/permission_api.ts
    error: An unsupported media type was attempted to be imported as a module.
      Specifier: https://deno.land/v1.8/permission_api.ts
      MediaType: Unknown

(The site is a 404 returning status code 200... just... why?)

Indeed. I read it as something written by the author. Double-checking revealed it was written by spacejam that did post the same argumentation over and over here on HN.
