  • Same here. I always felt they were making fun of my fellow nerds and geeks as opposed to celebrating our intelligence and quirkiness. The writers obviously got the humor and nuance but chose to poke fun so that the rest of the world could laugh at it. I mean I understand why but I didn’t really like it for that reason.

  • As much as I really really like AOC, I wonder if the rest of America isn’t ready to elect a woman. We’ve had two female candidates and both times we got Trump. Granted the first time was Hillary and I held my nose to vote for her (now I’d vote for a fresh dog turd before I’d vote Trump, but something about the whole Hillary thing just rubbed me the wrong way, especially with what happened to Bernie), and the second time they really screwed up at the last minute with Joe. I guess I’m just skittish at this point.

    I really hope I’m wrong, because AOC is just a hair behind Bernie in my opinion and I love Bernie. I think she’d be a really intelligent take no shit leader and I am so desperate for that right now.

  • I still think this is all pointless and just puts extra strain on the infrastructure needed to create the certs. The chances of a successful MITM attack are very very small. Places like Let’s Encrypt and the like have done way more for security by making cert creation more automated than shortening these certs lifespans. The bigger problem is self signed certs, expired certs, and/or certs based on weak/outdated protocols. The only thing this is going to accomplish is a general acceptance of slack security practices. Want proof. Go look at any office that requires too frequent password changes with asinine complex password rules and you’ll find many many more passwords written on sticky notes or passwords that do silly things like incrementing a number on the end or something similar.

    In my opinion, this whole thing is putting a bandaid on a bullet wound. If you want to fix the issues, make the certs more secure not shorter lived, create better revocation processes, and automate the hell out of everything.

  • No I was referring to the others that had suggested other ear-worms that I can’t get out of my head now. Sorry for the confusion.

    And if I had an uncle Jack, I’d probably do both? Just kidding, he could likely get down on his own.

    (Ok this was funny in my head… I’m weird)
