    Another upside is the easy permission management.

    You can revoke network access from your password manager to reduce attack surface; you can revoke camera access from your chat app to prevent accidentaly enabling it; You can restrict an app’s file system access to prevent unwanted changes; etc.

    It’s not yet fit to protect from malicious apps, but it still finds some use.



  • R6 is in between an Arcade game and a Tactical Competitive Game

    I think R6 is very far from an arcade game.

    I actively played R6 and Overwatch for a while and then stopped. After a pause, coming back to Overwatch was no problem; below Master pretty much everyone is playing casually. Coming back to R6 however, was overwhelming. Everyone is playing strategically optimally, you have to play a lot, follow the meta, and be very focused to be able to play in mid to high ranks.

    At least that’s my experience. R6 is not what I consider an arcade game.



  • Providing expiration notifications costs Let’s Encrypt tens of thousands of dollars per year

    Not doubting them, but I don’t understand how that’s possible.

    Storing the email addresses and expiration dates takes an irrelevant amount of storage space, even if they had billions of cutomers.

    Sending the emails should also not cost thousands, even if a significant amount of customers regularly let their certificates expire (which hopefull isn’t the case).

    So where are the tens of thousands of yearly costs coming from?
