@openid Do you guys have a version of this video with sound? vimeo.com/786211718 It's on the site and seems like a useful high level technical explainer straight from the source, but it's missing a critical element: Audio! 😅

@usrbinsean @wesbos I remember that (and I built loads of ecomm sites prior to 2014). Thanks to widespread adoption of SNI (maybe after 2011? 2012?) we could finally start serving different certs for IPs. And then SANs which I think came later (pack more domains into a single cert).

@wesbos For a very long time you had to justify getting an extra IP address for the SSL host, which you didn't bother with unless you were a "merchant" and even then lots of people used 3rd party payment gateways. Certs also cost money, LetsEncrypt didn't even come out till 2014.

@DraleZero @wesbos Punters. Laggers. Faders. There were also WinNuke attacks too (not necessarily AOL related, lol). These are some old school techie hijinks. 😅

@dir @wesbos Totes. Saw it so often I even wrote a rant about it a few years back. Oh... 6 years ago... 😬 @patricknelson/stop-saying-vpns-will-protect-your-internet-searches-from-being-seen-c92cb6239641" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@patricknelson

@jszobody @wesbos That and HSTS (and HSTS preloading) to enforce https:// requests and prevent/reduce downgrade attacks. The TLS isn't very useful if you can't ensure the user is using it (thus the value of the preload list) as well as persisting it via long TTLs in case you happen to connect.

@wesbos SSL used to be complicated. And expensive. We all owe LetsEncrypt a lot.

@ajrgd @wesbos Ironically, it was because of this that you could still also capture login credentials as well (*allegedly*). That is: You could intercept redirects to https:// by just rewriting those to http:// (MiTM, not just passive listening but active alteration), thanks to sslstrip.

The problem then was not the failure to use HTTPS, but the consistency of it across the whole site. In the early 2010s, a lot of sites used HTTPS for login, but then served the rest of the site on HTTP, ostensibly because HTTPS was slow and wildcard certificates were expensive. This meant you could steal cookies because these were relayed on plaintext HTTP. So came all the then-valid advice to only use secure Wi-Fi networks.

@DavidToons_ @Adobe Feels like the end of an era, though. I remember dabbling with Flash decades ago back when it was popular. As a web dev, I remember the transition away from Flash on the web around 2010. Now they’re killing it for good, in the name of AI (like lots of things)…

@DavidToons_ @Adobe Apparently AI is more important to them. I wonder if that’s what they expect creators to be using, too. Instead of, y’know… making human-made stuff.

@jennay09052011 @CrimeWatchMpls I get it. Deluding yourself is a win/win: 1. Feel special for having access to secret knowledge, and 2. Don’t admit to the dark reality that someone in your tribe was a bad guy. Am I close? I know, of course not.

@smalls2672 Good but stolen content (at least by “Jonzi” plastering their name all over it), here’s the original video by Johnny Harris: youtu.be/-NuXpwB2DV4 Sucks because I even recognized the guy and wanted to watch the whole video and took me a while to figure out the original source.

@DecodingFoxNews In the final movie about Trump's life, this quote should be the opening teaser. It says so much about him.

A Trump quote without his face or voice. It's Trump without Trump. This quote is unedited and 100% accurate. It is from his press conference on January 20, 2026. - The big building with bars on the windows.
