@grittygrease CT log? Sure. Plane? Uh-oh.

The “cosmic-ray bit-flip” thing actually being real and serious enough to recall every A320 on the planet was not on my 2025 bingo card.

@sycliks @IshrionA Oh I hope so. They moved to the 764s pre-pandemic, and while it's only my anecdotal experience as a 1K/1MM out of MAN - it was busy. I can't believe they didn't move 752->764 for no reason.

@IshrionA It has to be given MAN is hovering at that 29m passenger mark, and still doesn’t have an American carrier. Only a matter of time I hope

United Airlines' significant route announcement is likely coming soon, perhaps this week or later in the month (it traditionally takes place in early October). Will United be able to surpass last year's announcement which had unexpected destinations like Greenland and Mongolia?

@Scott_Helme @ajrgd @ProfWoodward OCSP works fine, Scott, right? Right?!

@ajrgd @ProfWoodward Well, there is CRLite, which depending on your update cadence is about as close to immediate as we're ever going to get.

So the UK Digital ID can be revoked immediately - what could go wrong? But don’t worry it uses state-of-the-art encryption: where have I heard that before.

@WillFulmer @BizTechSherpa @Outlook @Microsoft365 Same. Are Microsoft vibe-coding their cash cow now? The quality of the releases of their core products is abysmal. Anyone involved in this thing should hang their heads in shame, honestly.

@BizTechSherpa @Outlook @BizTechSherpa - this is pretty terrible. Same Outlook for Mac OS updated and @Microsoft365 @Outlook is terrible. Memory leaks, constant freezing of the computer, autocomplete and @'name' not working.

@Outlook - this version of Outlook is VERY BUG RIDDEN. Keeps locking my mac up and using 97Gb of Memory!!!

@Scott_Helme @RME There's not quite so many, really - it could be a concern. I'd say there's < 50 and more realistically around 20 that anyone could reasonably get a certificate from.

@RME There are hundreds, literally hundreds, of CAs. The problems you mentioned exist whether certs are valid for 1 day, 100 days or 1,000 days.

Are shorter certificates finally coming?! dlvr.it/TFMBmL

@Scott_Helme @omBratteng ...but ideally < 825 days if you have to support internal TLS on any Apple platforms ;)

@omBratteng Absolutely, when it’s your own CA, you do what you like 👍

@rmhrisk I'll see what I can find, Ryan - they pretty much only just released this (due to me badgering and pushing them in a specific design direction for the past 12 months!). For Lunas, Thales have a 30-day trial of Luna Cloud that can do their PKCs.

And nshielddocs.entrust.com/key-attestatio…

Does anyone have access to a nShield with support for cryptographically verifiable attestations? If so I’d really appreciate an example attestation and corresponding CSR. I’d like to add these as a test vector for a library to decode and verify these attributes. ryan @ peculiar ventures dot com.

@IrregularExpr @Scott_Helme Take a look here: : aka.ms/RootCert - specifically D3. EV CS is dead. Azure Trusted Signing might be the best way forward.

@Scott_Helme Just navigating my way through Azure’s new Trusted Signing service, which seems to basically be a replacement for a ridiculously overpriced EV plus $100/m or so for SSL.com’s eSigning stuff

@Scott_Helme my code signing cert is about to expire and I refuse to sign on to this Extended Validation nonsense just to get rid of the SmartScreen warning (not that EVs seem to get rid of it now anyway) Are we there yet? Have we found a way around the protection racket?

@AM_Pines @EE @munchl4xx Yup - figured that out in the end! Seems to be OK in Canada as of early am today (on Telus, but not intentionally selected).

@isnotnick @EE @munchl4xx You won't be able to connect to *any* network that appears if you are traveling abroad and your provider uses Syniverse. Try to hop on Wifi, but unfortunately a lot of free wifi requires a text authentication, which you won't be able to receive!

@EE @munchl4xx What about in Canada? Which network is 'best' to choose manually? The same problem exists here.

@munchl4xx Syniverse are working to restore full service as soon as possible, and you can read their latest update, here: x.com/Syniverse/stat… In the meantime, we recommend manually searching for AT&T through the network settings of your device 2/2 -Phil

@RachelAConlon @EE Same issue here in Canada - and same frustrations! We’re not alone at least, EE’s roaming is clearly broken today.

@EE I’ve done that!

@EE my roaming suddenly stopped working in the US. Seems I’m far from the only one! Any timeline on a fix? I’ve tried all the usual solutions!

@ericlaw Good job you got the 3 year in now! Not a fan of Azure Trusted Signing yet?

4096bits of shiny new security goodness. 3 year Authenticode certificate on a cute little HSM.

@vcsjones @SectigoHQ Excellent - let me ask someone on the team to update the KB article with the latest client that includes the arm64 version!

@vcsjones @SectigoHQ Had a look...is the minidriver ok? I can get someone to put it on the KB page (Safenet-minidriver-arm64-10.9)

@British_Airways Why is your app (iOS) so broken? Constant errors when searching and even worse errors every time I try to pay for a booking. Happens consistently. Using the website (logged into both) works fine. What is the point of the app?

@VodafoneUK I mean…that’s not super helpful is it? It’s a new mast. It’s yours (planning documents name Vodafone, as did the local newspaper). You have a spokesperson quoted as sayi by you’re trying to improve 5G around here. If it’s 3+ months before it’s activated, just say that?

@isnotnick Hey 👋 We're currently not showing any planned coverage expansion in this area just yet, but are always looking to improve our service. Keep your eyes peeled on our network checker 👉 vodafone.uk/3tEwmDv for future updates 😊 Joe

@VodafoneUK Hi - any chance you can say when the new mast at LA11 7LT (Lakeland) will be live? Doesn’t seem to be yet - still a poor signal, but hoping to get 5G soon…

@sweis @amarchenkova The ‘paper’ itself reads like a chat-gpt output. It talks about the Big Bang and how ‘galaxies were created on calculus’. Truly batshit.

@amarchenkova The tech press that echoes things like this are lazy bottom feeders: “QC computations were done in a commercial cellphone”

There is a claim floating around of someone claiming to have factored a RSA-2048 modulus using a quantum computer. It is not credible. The current quantum computer factoring record still stands as the number 21=3*7.

@CubicleApril @mholt6 100%. I have thrown away 4 or 5 other inkjets while still keeping the solid-as-a-rock Brother laser.

@mholt6 Anything made by Brother.

What's a good, but inexpensive (to maintain), family-friendly printer for the home office? I like laser printers for their speed and how far a cartridge gets you...

@ericlaw It’s ‘backup certs’ - they get issued from multiple CAs as a precaution. We get quite a few messages into our abuse address asking the same question! developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/edge-certi…

Is there some business relationship between Sectigo and Cloudflare or Digicert that I'm not aware of (entirely possible), or are they misissuing certs?
