  • An ssl certificate provider used 4 as their private key. This should be hundreds of characters long. Somebody figured this out and was able to issue their own certificates based on it. This results in loss of trust in their certificates which is a big deal.

    It is compared as bigger than one of the largest security issues in IT the last couple of years since it forces everybody to patch their shit to not trust this certificate chain. And lots of stuff aren’t patched that easily.




  • I started drinking at age 16 on pure 96% moonshine. Got absolutely blackout legless hammered every time. I drank it because it was the easiest to get hold of and way cheaper than any other alcohol. Almost died the rock star death of choking in my own puke a couple of times. When I got to 18 and was allowed to buy it I switched to mostly beer and wine. Still got blackouts every now and then since, up through my 20s, but not anywhere near to the levels I was at in the beginning. I think that was both attributed to knowing my limits and maturing a tiny bit. Now in my 40s I hardly ever drink a beer and even one gives me quite a buzz.

    Not sure if I would have had the same experience if moonshine was legal.
