Disgraced eMudhra drops out of TLS business after using cert private key of 4

Many moons ago, long before generative slop coding, I made research on a file storage company for a project. I was already suspicious by their business page being fronted only by two smiling middle aged men without any trace is software engineering in their credentials. They claimed to have all kinds of certificates and whatnot. And they happily accepted that I made an admin account with a one letter password. Some more poking around and it didn't get any better.

Incompetence is everywhere. Do not trust that anybody selling services in the cloud have any idea what they are doing.

Why is suicide considered selfish? If your like 80 or something and rely on your family for care. Would it not be a burden off of them?

Early Christianity had a problem. When life was hard but afterlife supposedly awesome, why do the hard part and not just skip ahead? Oh, but then who will toil in misery and pay tithes and be serving the kings army? Ey, presto! Tell everybody that suicide is a mortal sin with eternal suffering and all that jazz! (That in turn sprouted workarounds like killing somebody else and be forgiven for your sins before execution.)

The moralism lives on that life is holy and you leave others to struggle in their misery while you take the easy way out. And this is why it is taken to absurd lengths that people are kept on life support that only serves to prolong their terminal suffering against their own will.

Why does every protocol use 2.4GHz?

Bluetooth because it's named after Harald Blåtand and it was two point from end to end so the first and last letters B and D are 2nd and 4th in the alphabet so 2.4 and WiFi because it is Bi Directional so that is 2 and D=4 as above, also 2.4. Funny coincidence, really.

Also the width of the pyramids and the distance to the far side of the moon.

Gamers can be the most entitled demanding assholes. Arch users can be the most annoying arrogant and conceited people to exist online.

I wouldn't dare imagine dealing with the unholy mix of arch gamers min-maxing social skills for inferiority complex.

I'd rather drop support too.

This is also the rationale to people defending Nazis because "it's just their opinions".

No, it is not "just opinions" when you want to terrorise and murder other people simply for having been born. It is not "just opinions" that you want to abolish democracy for a totalitarian police state. It is not "just opinions" that you manifest that you are working towards this society. It is not "just opinions" that you express this in public in order to make other people live in fear for your "opinions" to become reality.

It is violence. And violent aggression is justified to be met with violent defence.

Punch a nazi today, kids. Every day is punch a nazi day.

Edit: Sorry, I went wild and somewhat unrelated. I didn't intend to diminish the topic of womens rights. Every day is of course also a punch a sexist day, regardless their other opinions.
