  • For self hosting at least, having your own CA is a pain in the ass to make sure everything is safe and that nobody except you has access to your CA root key.
    I'm not saying it's not doable, but it's definitely a lot of work and potentially a big security risk if you're not 100% certain of what you're doing.

  • If I remember correctly, it was pretty easy to intercept the communications. The Americans also dropped a few mirrors on the moon and the Soviets used them to fire lasers at the moon.

  • Thanks for the information. Even though your source looks as biased as mine, at least I have contradictory information to make my mind on the matter.

    I'm not trying to enlighten anyone on their culture, I respect all cultures but we need to weed out, or at the very least reform, cruel traditions and practices and that's not limited to Faroese whaling or bullfighting.

    It's a good thing that whaling has been heavily reformed in the past few years, and it's also aiming to lessen the suffering of the animals.

  • Well, then educate me and please share accurate information then.

    My source is the Wikipedia page which is nicely sourced with plenty of Faroese references: Whaling in the Faroe Islands.

    Unfortunately I can't read Faroese, so maybe all that sourced information has been lost in translation ?

  • What's not accurate about my comment?

    Faroese whaling is a century old tradition that used to be about survival and used whale parts for food and other things like light, fishing material, clothing, etc.

    Nowadays, we have replacements for pretty much all these things right ? Whale meat doesn't seem to be widely consumed much anymore, it's also dangerous because of mercury levels in the whales.

    Yet the Faroese kill around 700 whales a year, and in a pretty cruel fashion. They force the whales to beach themselves, have their spinal cord and a few major arteries severed and left to bleed out and die over the course of minutes.

    I'm all in for traditions but not for cruel and pointless ones.

  • It's not about being vegan or not in this case.

    The Faroe islands have a traditional whale/dolphin (I don't remember which exactly) slaughter every year.
    They drag dozens of them on beaches and kill them. It used to be one of their main food sources for the year, which is respectable.
    But nowadays they don't need to do it anymore, yet carry on with this super cruel tradition.

    It's a bit like bull runs and bull fighting, I get the traditional side of it, but it's something that should not be performed anymore because of the suffering and cruelty it causes.
