"This connection is untrusted" "SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN"
The irony.

The irony.
I mean the origin is still legit, so there is no real problem with it, right?
One cannot just register a site as github.com
It uses the github cert, but that is not set to use the github.io subpages that start with www.
I'm not sure if at this point the browser verifies whether the cert is even legit for github.com
As far as I recall, it never was relevant. It was generally viewed as a rant written by a non-professionnel. Perhaps I am wrong? Sorry if I am wrong?? Don't start reporting me, please.
I remember reading there, when it wasn't on github pages but it's own website, the recommendation to keep your critical dotfiles permissioned to a different user account of yours. I don't think that's bad advice. Yes it is probably not needed if you use the system as a pro sysadmin for server purposes, but for desktop use it's just natural that you'll run a lot more programs in a much less controlled manner.
Of course there were ones that I thought they went overboard, but it has at least a few good pieces, if not more, I don't really remember.
Not really relevant, but I've got a "rule of thumb" for all security-related issues;
"If it doesn't nuke my PC, then I'm good. If it does, then I'm still good since backups and logs exist, and if it was related to the latest seucirty issue? Then I make a quick patch and/or update. Then back to 1."
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
