The maintainers of the big web browsers have pretty strict rules for CAs in this list. If any one of them gets caught issuing only one certificate maliciously, they are out of business.

And all CAs are required to publish each certificate in multiple public, cryptographically signed ledgers.

Sure, there is a history of CAs issuing certificates to people that shouldn’t have them (e.g. for espionage), but that is almost impossible now.

For 3 more months or so, you can’t buy them in april 2026 anymore

Short lifespans are also great when domains change their owner. With a 3 year lifespan, the old owner could possibly still read traffic for a few more years.

When the lifespan ist just 30-90 days, that risk is significatly reduced.

No, these are completely separate issues.

• CRL: protect against certificates that have their private key compromised
• CT: protect against incompetent or malicious Certificate Authorities.

This is just one example why we have certificate transparency. Revocation wouldn’t be useful if it isn’t even known which certificates need revocation.

The National Informatics Centre (NIC) of India, a subordinate CA of the Indian Controller of Certifying Authorities (India CCA), issues rogue certificates for Google and Yahoo domains. NIC claims that their issuance process was compromised and that only four certificates were misissued. However, Google is aware of misissued certificates not reported by NIC, so it can only be assumed that the scope of the breach is unknown.

There are some nameserver providers that have an API.

When you register a domain, you can choose which nameserver you like. There are nameservers that work with certbot, choose one that does.

The only disadvantage I see is that all my personal subdomains (e.g. immich.name.com and jellyfin) are forever stored in a public location. I wouldn’t call it a privacy nightmare, yet it isn’t optimal.

There are two workarounds:

• do not use public certificates
• use wildcard certificates only

The best approach for securing our CA system is the “certificate transparency log”. All issued certificates must be stored in separate, public location. Browsers do not accept certificates that are not there.

This makes it impossible for malicious actors to silently create certificates. They would leave traces.

How will they decide which ticket you get? Do you need a passport to enter the Louvre?

I think its a completely different use case. MobaXterm is a fancy ssh/rdp tool with some extra features, while rustdesk is an alternative to teamviewer or anydesk - tools for remote support.

Disclaimer: I haven’t used rustdesk yet, I have no need for this use case.

Let‘s hope they accept more currencies than they did at the start of the steam deck ( €$£ only).

It seems that Valve has been experimenting with adding ARM support to proton for a while now. But I couldn’t find much information on this topic.

Depends on what you expext I guess? The RX 6600 is still capable of playing any game, but it’s clearly an entry level card.

My guess is that Valve is aiming for a price similar to the current steam deck, and also tried to keep the power usage low (30W CPU + 110W GPU).

The most interesting announcement (for me) is the new Steam VR hardware. It is ARM-based and likely the first linux-based VR device.

It will be interesting how game compativility will be. But thanks to streaming, we will likely be able to play just about every VR title.

I personally wouldn’t spend money on a PC that has outdated hardware with the performance of a Steam Deck.

There was a similar post a few days ago.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant.

Personally, I would try to avoid publishing nginx proxy manager’s management web ui to the general public.

Please don’t confuse the nginx proxy manager (npm) with the node.js packet manager (npm). The latter is frequently in the news regarding security vulnerabilities.

@taher12@lemdro.id I see this is your first post, welcome here :) If you need help, feel free to ask.

For selfhosting, I would advise against installing a desktop environment and rather suggest to install a server version without GUI.
