It's so frustrating that so many people in tech just take seriously all of these things that come from tech giants and think they're "ideas" that should be "tested for their merits".
My child, these tech giants only want one thing, and it's disgusting: shareholder value.
They don't care about you. They don't care about the Internet. They don't care about the community. They don't even care about technology.

Transport emissions up by 9% due to growth in aviation.

Greenhouse gas emissions 6 percent lower in 2023
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were 6 percent lower in 2023 than in 2022. This was mainly due to 22 percent lower emissions in the electricity sector. Less electricity was produced from coal and natural gas. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) and the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM)/Emissions Register report this on the basis of provisional quarterly figures on GHG emissions, in accordance with the IPCC guidelines.

Today, 16 years ago, Debian published a security advisory announcing CVE-2008-0166, a severe bug in their OpenSSL package that effectively broke the random number generator and limited the key space to a few ten thousand keys. The vulnerability affected Debian Ubuntu between 2006 and 2008. In 2007, an email signature system called DKIM was introduced. Is it possible that people configured DKIM in 2007, never changed their key, and are still vulnerable to CVE-2008-0166?

16 years of CVE-2008-0166 - Debian OpenSSL Bug
Many DKIM setups used cryptographic keys vulnerable to the 2008 Debian OpenSSL Bug (CVE-2008-0166) in 2024.
