Several reasons

• If a private key leaks, a shorter certificate lifespan limits the fallout
• Faster upgrades to new cryptographic standards. If some of the crypto methods used get broken, short lived certificates means they get replaced with newer methods faster
• Short lived certificates force sysadmins to automate the renewal process. This prevents expired certificates due to forgetting the manual renewal.
• Certificate lifetime and domain ownership mismatch. You could buy a 2 year certificate for somedomain.com and then sell the domain or just let it expire and have it picked up by someone else. You then have a valid certificate for a domain you no longer ow and you could MitM traffic for the new owner’s website.

You shouldn’t be using SHA256 to hash passwords though.

Yes. The Netherlands, where I live.

Right there first line: 170.4 cm / 5’7"

162cm is average for women where you live with the other gnomes in your mushroom village?

Based on the scale behind her she is quite short.

Part of it is just getting used to it. I used to hate the no sugar versions of Coca-Cola®️. Other than the taste the viscosity is also ‘wrong’ in Coke zero. The sugary versions is much thicker.

I switched anyway because I was drinking too many calories.

Strangely though, real Coke now tastes weird to me. There is this strange aftertaste that I never noticed before switching to zero.

The way I read it it’s a library that developers can use in their games, and the first games that use it offer it as a separate graphics option.

I’m pretty sure they don’t. No grocery store in my country has ever used self checkout with scales and these things seem custom build for the specific store chain. Why would they include scales which adds costs when they aren’t needed.

Yes, we should go back to the time when grocery stores were just a counter with a clerk behind it who had to grab all your items one by one as you told them what you wanted.

Our self checkout terminals don’t have scales.

Never had any issue like that.

• If someone doesn’t show up for the random bag check in 30 seconds or so it just automatically skips it.
• If you scan alcohol it just beeps on the hand-terminal of the person overseeing the self checkout area and they take one look and click approve if you look old enough. You can just keep scanning while that happens. If you look young enough that you need to show ID then they usually show up within seconds anyway.

The rest of the things you mention just never happen.

Self checkout is a godsend. No more waiting in line. No more awkward small talk with the cashier. No more unpacking and repacking your groceries.

if you need to get a lot of stuff you just grab a portable scanner at the entrance or use your phone. Scan and bag while you go through the store, then return the scanner and just scan your phone at the self-checkout terminal and pay. Zero friction.

It’s cute you think they need to hack the OS get access to your phone.

This is typical american carbrain shit. Is there any other country where the kind of car someone drives is even a consideration in choosing a romantic partner? I’m dating your car.

This isn’t the actual national anthem of the United States?

Then there’s also legitimate mail that contain all those red flags.

The same people that made us go through anti-phishimg training sent me an e-mail that read exactly like a phishing attempt net even a week later, which turned out to be totally legit. Like, WTF.

What lyrics? It doesn’t have any.

My company does random phishing trials to keep people alert. They collect statistics on how many people click the link and how many report it as a scam.

Fortunately the test mails they send out include a specific header indicating it’s a phishing test, so I just set up a rule in my mail app to automatically move those to a specific mailbox and alert me they’re running another test.

The United States of America.

Those are the best 3 words to hear.
