Re:Go will reject certificate chains containing eight distrusted SPKIs

Web of trust required a lot of work by users and was pretty bad in practice. This isn't that.
This would effectively be the same "root CAs come pre-installed" but they would be notaries rather than root CAs, with a predefined trust policy (maybe minimum of 2 notaries per leaf certificate)
Users would still just see a green lock icon same as before, no action needed.

The rest of them presumably wanted to continue doing business in the UK & did not want to IP-block the entire country.

I don't get spam from a variety of languages.
The only foreign language spam I got was from Pokemon Go after I played it while visiting France & Spain. I received French and Spanish emails from them for years.

Not true. At the very least it can leak your IP address. There's a reason whatsapp & other messaging services have an internal proxy for generating web previews.

I meant "just use dm-verity" as in "don't do full disk encryption"...
Re:Remotely unlocking an encrypted hard disk
on Thursday March 05, 2026 @03:43PM (#47267015)
FYI your decryption key can be MITMed during this process by anyone with physical access to the system, which defeats the purpose of encrypting the disk in the first place.
Just use dm-verity for remote servers.
