What is stopping a scammer from HTTPS certificating a "nonsense.ReputableBank.com"

I recall that subdomains are their own record inside a DNS, which would imply that anyone can claim that their server is a non-existent subdomain of the real domain

JetKVM - a polished take at the nanoKVM(?)
  • OK, I've read the wiki entry but I still don't understand what KVM is, or why it's needed. The last time I visited a data center - every server rack came with a laptop-esque looking control unit. What problem does KVM comes to solve? What does this invention improve upon a traditional KVM?

  • Democrat Sarah McBride set to be first openly transgender member of US Congress
  • Can we talk about the "McBride" part?
    Was it like:
    Him: "Hey honey , what was your last name?"
    Her: "Dude, we went over this , I'm an orphane , I don't know"
    Him: "But this form requires me to fill in your maiden name"
    Her: "How about wifey McWifeFace"?
    Him: "No that's too silly"
    ...

  • What kind of special knowledge or equipment do piracy groups have?
  • But cracking ed25519, or RSA , is something that state actors can't do without massive resources... What am I missing here?
    Even if I reverse engineer Linux, I can't know the decryption keys for my encrypted data.... Are you saying that HDCP is not "Secured" but "Jumbled up"? If tomorrow the source code for it get released - then "The jig is up"?

  • What kind of special knowledge or equipment do piracy groups have?

    Are they breaking Widevine? Are they circumventing it? If the end result is an analog audio signal and (a ton of) RBG on/off signals - why can't I as a normal consumer capture it using some store bought gyzmo?

    Sorry Ubisoft
  • "You disrespect me when you use the word BUY when you mean RENT, I'll show you the same disrespect by denying you any monetary gain that you normally get from ghosting your customers"

    Sometimes I wish I could have the skills to hack these websites - change every "Buy" to "Rent", add a " Why am I seeing this?" and then explain that the transaction is for "Digital key revocable at any time by (insert scummy corporate here)".
    Then I'll happily laugh and watch their profits drop , while they try to publish a statement defending their position.

  • The elusive quartet
  • I'm guessing that the intention is "If Israel can handle missiles from Lebanon and Gaza, why can't they handle 10 times the normal amount from Iran.
    It's a numbers game , and w/o the US and Jordan helping to intercept them , the civilian damage would be much much much more extensive; and only one of these 2 can be true - Iran has terrible terrible terrible aim, or they targeted civilians.

  • Well this is awkward
  • I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as GNU, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, LINUX plus GNU. GNU is just one replacable suite of libraries ,not an operating system unto itself. It is but another free component of a fully functioning Linux system made useful by the vastly complicated hardware to software communication protocols. Shell utilities and "vital system components", are not enough to be called a full OS , as much as some 80s guys that created POSIX would like it to be.

  • Risks of CPR

    If proper CPR involves compressing the chest so much such that the ribcage might break - doesnt that breakage risks a bone puncturing the heart?

    Do you ever get riled up over a situation you imagined completely out of your head?

    It happened recently for me - I imagined I'm trying to cancel a gym membership and the gym isgivinfg me a hard time.

    I dont have a gym membership at all.

    Realizing my own creeper vibes turned to perpetual avoidance from dating

    At age 16, against my normal nature , I've asked out my then crush who was my schoolmate.

    (In retrospect, it was only sexual attraction, cause her personality was abysmal..)

    I say "ask out" but it was one of the childish "wanna be my gf" sort of thing. I didn't have (nor do I have now) "game". My only valid pretense for hanging with her , and not actually planning a date, was studying together for tests.

    Neverthelesss, the excitement and the rush after she showed interest in me was overwhelming , and I spiraled out of control. I became clingy , needed and over the top in love.

    It all came crashing down when I saw her avoiding me while looking afraid and creeped out. That face is burned into my retina, and all I can think about when I even think about stepping into that arena again.

    I'm 31 now, still painfully alone - but with the added bonus of feeling like expired milk and overrun with anxiety and depression.

    I'm telling myself again and again that I'm doing the best with the cards I've been dealt with , and partnership or intimacy is just not one of those cards. I try to keep busy and focus on work - because one moment of boredom sends me to a variety of really dark places.

    I know that some day the pattern of eat-sleep-job-repeat won't be enough, but I'm repressing that thought like hell right now.

    Thank you guys for creating this sub BTW, much needed.
