Also GPT partitions have little use when using mdraid/dm-crypt/lvm2 (or zfs) stack. IIRC Windows have similar features with dynamic partitions, so I don't see any reason to use bios partitioning for anything beyond boot (and MBR is enough for it, even without extended partitions).

Biometrics also cannot be used to produce cryptographic keys, meaning that all depend on that last conditional jump not being circumvented.

Regulations & compatibility.

>why cyrrilic characters or umlauts cause issues in your scripts...

Any text format can be broken by broken character encoding. I saw plenty of XML being used without any charset declarations. And JSON is in same position as CSV.

I am all for text-only, structured web; but gopher transfer protocol is broken mess (which is an achievement considering simplicity of it's purpose).

Main difference is not robustness. It's that CD are digital and can be copied perfectly.

>a half decent website

And what is wrong with current site?
