The only downside is that it's not really supported anywhere at all yet. But I do hope it becomes a real thing some day.
AFAIK there's a lot of talk about making GNU Taler the basis for the 'digital Euro' which is curently being debated at the EU Parliement.
AI may have its uses, but the easy counterpoint to your argument is to look at FTX at its peak and where it is now (bankrupt). The stock exchange is the exact opposite of rational, and is terrible at estimating the use one can get out of tech.
Remeber when Microsoft banned some Xbox players for screenshots they took in singleplayer, local games? Because it turns out all screenshots were uploaded to the cloud without properly informing users?
Naaah... no way they're going to do that again.
idk most politicians are a threat to the environement like AI (if not even more so with their moronic laws)
More or less, yes.
To my knowledge, this hasn't been the case for nearly a decade, after the backlash they received specifically for it.
Expose your subdomains as in having all of them bundled into one certificate?
AFAIK, you absolutely can request different certs for each subdomain (in fact, that's what I've been doing for a while).
Well, in this case of 1 000 000 downloads, that would make a 50 000 dollar difference. Not really something 'little'.
That's great news! Always hated those paywalled research papers and greedy publishers who get away with freaking 100% royalty. Hopefully other organisations will follow.
The only mitm that can be done is at the server itself or in a website pretending to be the requested server. But for this to work, you need to have the private and public keys of the server you want to act like.
Maybe I misunderstand what you're saying, but since the wide majority of EU citizens use their ISP's DNS, it's trivial for them to mandate a domain redirection to another server which would act as a proxy of the original (and thus only need the original server's public key).
So far, the only protection we have against that are:
That's why, to my understanding, this is such a big deal. At any point, ANY EU gov (and I want to emphasis that part because ot's important in the context of tjhs law) can request a change of DNS from their ISP's DNS (many already do right now) and emit a fully trusted certificate for the domain they want to MITM.
... until the EU and maybe even the US rolls around and slaps Microsoft with an antitrust lawsuit. Sounds like a best case scenario :D
Well, I have some good news for you!
