What is the point of shortening the life time to 45 days?

Why not 60 seconds? That's way more secure. Everything is automated after all, so why risk compromised certificate for such a long period, like 45 days?

Or how about we issue a new certificate per request? That should remove most of the risks.

Could have just kept using OSCP stapling

I'm not a fan of GitHub Actions either, but is there actually anything better nowadays? I've just come to accept it as the best of bad options.

Gitlab CI is leagues better

There are some reasons you'd want to encrypt even without a secret key. One is it makes it easier to erase data (just erase the key).

It also makes bit flip errors a lot more obvious, which is another way of saying harder to ignore, so that can go either way.

Encryption does not make bit flips obivous, authenticated encryption would.

Off the top of my head:

Lots of banking apps don't work.

RCS has only just started working.

No "Find My Device" support.

Permissions model is difficult to understand - even I struggle with it.

Standard launcher has tiny icons which can't be adjusted.

Pop on to https://discuss.grapheneos.org/ and see the struggles which users have.

I don't have any issues with it

Some years ago I thought, no one would be stupid enough to download 100+ megabytes in their build script (which runs on CI whenever you push a commit).

Then I learned about Docker.

That's why I build project specific images in CI to be used in CI. Running apt-get every single time takes too damn long.

I just don't have the patience for HDDs anymore. Mirrored arrays and backups are going to have to do on data loss.

That said I only have a couple of TBs...bit more and HDDs do become unavoidable

I'm using an HDD with SSD cache for /home all non stale will be cached by the SSD

The question is if a EU bank has to provide deposit insurance but PayPal does not how can PayPal be a bank.
shim__ · 3 months ago
PayPal might be a bank but maybe PayPal accounts aren't bank accounts
