@drscriptt Naive question: WHEN does the average #Internet #user ever open up a webpage with an #IP address instead of a #domain or even #FQDN?

• Seriously, the only cases I saw were either some old, non-public - facing server in some B2B/API setting or a test that #httpd / #ngnix / #ssh / … function properly on like a #VPS and that the #DNS hasn't been updated (yet!) to include said host / FQDN in the records, and even then it's bad cuz you'd rather want to use it's FQDN instead because with #IPv4 shortages on one hand and tools like #Portainer on the other, one should not use an #IPaddress as addressing method because #WAF / #Proxies used to "#MUX" / "#NAT" services under one IP address or #IPv6 block may need that distinction by being queried for a specific FQDN...

The Idea if !SSL / #TLD for #IPaddresses makes me feel like Jeff Goldblum!

Mainly, this would be translated as:
“Samsung adds even more possibilities to harvest your personal data.”

Why didn't you write this instead? It would have been much easier ;)

There are better ad-free alternatives that respect #user #privacy such as #Signal and #Line.

Auch #Influencer können mal nen guten Tag haben.

Wobei: So mies, wie #Microsoft sich mit der Einführung von #Windows11 verhält, ist es kein Wunder, dass die #User sich nach anderen Möglichkeiten umsehen.

Und #LinuxMint ist für Umsteigende wirklich gut geeignet.

Es ist einfach viel besser als Windows ...

User vs IT security

The culling of #GSA’s #18F in particular, a specialized #digital services agency tasked w/improving #user experience w/govt services & helping #FederalAgencies build & buy a variety of #tech, has crippled programs that silently but effectively prepared Americans for #weather #disasters or streamlined tasks, like renewing a #passport or filing #taxes. Over the wknd, ~90 technologists at 18F were fired via surprise email that went out shortly before 1AM ET on Sat morning.
