Yep, totally fair. It's kind of crazy actually how we all trust that stuff, and when there's a breach people just want to expire certificates more often etc.

I bet there is a better way but as long as no one is paying, we're stuck with this mess. I have programmed stuff with x509 in the medical sector, what a trusty spaghetti mess that was, but when you finally got your cert, you could basically do whatever.

Sorry for the rant ๐Ÿ˜… I just want to show people that even if the mathematics behind RSA is fantastic and secure, the human side is always there to break that ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
