Re:Many of the root certificates on Windows are not needed on Monday October 19, 2020 @01:41PM (#24828766)
The fact that some root stores/browsers don't trust some CAs is actually quite common. There will be some cross-sign from another CA that is trusted in Firefox in this case.

Stuff like this is quite common; we published a paper on this recently if you are interested in details: https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.08772

Re:Japan's PM to ask all schools to temporarily close on Thursday February 27, 2020 @03:32PM (#22437467)
Was in Tokyo last week and this week.

Depending on the day my guess was that 40-70% of people were wearing masks - more on public transit.

I assume that you mostly were at the Airport or public transit/other huge venues - otherwise I cannot really explain our different experiences.

Even their old device (DPTS1) can do that - so I would assume yes.
Re:DNSCrypt – A protocol to improve DNS security on Wednesday March 29, 2017 @10:22PM (#13992367)
Most clients nowadays sent the "server name indication" (SNI) TLS extension though, which contains the name of the site you are connecting to.

The extension is sent unencrypted, even when using TLS 1.3. So everyone sniffing the traffic can tell where you are surfing to, even without DNS.

Re:Tcpdump is amazing on Thursday March 17, 2016 @02:13PM (#11306322)
If you are interested in tcpdump and use it for debugging, you might potentially also be interested in the Bro network monitoring system (http://bro.org).

It gives you very deep visibility in the supported protocols, dumps easy to parse log-files by default (see e.g. https://www.bro.org/sphinx-git/httpmonitor/index.html for HTTP information) - and it is fully scriptable.

(Disclaimer: I am involved with the project.)

Re:The Classic Super Star Trek Game on Tuesday February 10, 2015 @08:21AM (#9026899)
Here you go - http://z-machine.appspot.com/game/ztrek/play/

(It is actually not emscripten -- it uses a z-machine emulator I adapted to js a long time ago to run the z-machine version of star trek. But - should be good enough :) )
