Doesn't it seem that configuration is needlessly complex for certificates? I think it would be easier to list the entire chain in one directive: TLSCertificates /path/to/host.crt /path/to/intermediat

I'm guessing your third sentence triggered a penalty. Replace "current captchas" with a blank and you'll see why. I agree that the reCAPTCHA experience is terrible and assume many others agree with you, in part spurring

I always assumed Google's use of reCAPTCHA was to augment the OCR used to digitize Google Books, particularly in results the software couldn't confidently match to a word. Is this true? It's interesting that it's still t

"Get a decent editor and don't leave whitespace at the end of lines." Trailing whitespace always raises a huge red flag for me whenever I look at someone's code. It's not just sloppy, it often makes diff output so n

I thought the whole point of High-DPI was to was to free us from the need to render graphics pixel-perfect at native resolution. While scaling bitmaps will probably be necessary for photographs and most video for a long time, can't eve

I've just set up 3 different work areas consisting of laptops with external second monitors. I've settled on the configuration having the external monitor above the laptop display as being the most optimum. I find that I never nee

I'd still be more comfortable if the process never went anywhere near the private key (and I'm concerned that a proprietary competitor or look-alike would prey on naive users by leveraging your example). But I also applaud your ef

My concern is that your reach is too far. Asking domain administrators to trust your software to manipulate private keys (and server configurations) is as troubling as asking end users to click past security warnings. The whole purpose of t

There is no reason for the CA to ever see the private key. All they need is a CSR. This approach is fundamentally broken.

I run Apache httpd, and there's no way I'd let a wizard anywhere near my configuration files or private keys, much less run it on a production server. I think it's about time for a free CA that is recognized by all clients, b

I use Slackware and run stock dwm as my window manager. Once I tweak it to my preferences, I never have to think about it again. My configuration is portable to different versions, different distributions, and even different *NIXes to a lar

I think it's fair to say that if your kid comes home with a ChromeBook that you didn't purchase, it's being subsidized somewhere. My local high school just issued them to all freshmen. What I find a bit odd is that if there i

When I used to install Cygwin, it was to get (in order of importance): ssh, vim, rsync & X11. Gow doesn't include the last two, so it feels like an apples/oranges comparison (for my use case). Still, it's pretty amazing w

There are times I wish I could leave GPS tracking on all the time, with a simple way to add markers either now or later, and with the ability to share the data with any app I want. There are times I just want to hop on my bike and ride with

Mutt has had excellent built-in SMTP/IMAP/POP3 support for years. I'm always surprised to see guides suggesting helpers like msmtp, offlineimap, etc. And with a few macros and save-hooks that you'll only write once, you&

Surprise, that's a software-based feature you could build for just about any phone. That's an interesting comment. Isn't "phone" a software based feature you could build for just about any computer? I wonder if a

I prefer dedicated repositories (I use mercurial) for each app (vim, mutt, etc.) or context (X11) that include Makefiles for creating the necessary links or handling some environment-specific details. This still allows me to cherry pick wha

That's ridiculous. There are plenty of ways to lose a private key that doesn't involve or lead to compromise. I generate and store my private keys in my secure CA environment and copy them to the server. If I ever need to redeploy

Indeed. In fact, that's one of the reasons I switched to Windows Phone 8: It was the closest I could get to the linux+dwm environment where I do most of my computing. Why would anyone want a desktop metaphor on a phone, complete with t

With name-based virtual hosts (those that rely on the server selecting the appropriate resource based on the Host header), typical clients depend on the IP address returned by DNS for that host. If they visit that IP, ask for the host, and

Or better yet, don't serve any content from the default. I actually return a 403 error for the default host or any request without a Host header.

The shellshock scan is setting the Host header, which might set the SERVER_NAME CGI variable in some environments and is not included in the Common Log Format or widely used Combined Log Format (which adds the Referer and User-Agent). For e

How is downloading a key pair generated by someone else safer? If this is only for login purposes (I don't use AWS, so maybe there is another reason), you should generate your own key pair and send them only your public key (which does

It frustrates me that even as they expand, they seem to have a distribution model that is one-way-only. If your local store doesn't have an item, you can locate the stores that have it, but they won't send it to the store nearest
