I believe us-east-1 is the default region so it's probably a case of devs not changing their region unless they need to.

Also, 1000s of companies use AWS. In issue in any of their regions is likely to have significant impact on internet services

A shoe horn is still a better spoon than option 3

She's welcome to chose spoon 1

1 - I don't want my spoons to be ribbed for her pleasure

2 - This spoon is simply incorrect

3 - This is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen

I'll choose option 4, its the least offensive option, but I'm not happy about it

I used to run PFSense ( pretty much the same as Opensense ) and really liked it but moved over to Ubiquity in the last year or so. Here's my 2 cents...

Go with Ubiquity if you want a single unified interface for managing all your devices. You'll have "soft vendor lock in", their kit will work just fine with a mix of hardware but it's best if everything is Ubiquity

Go with Opensense if you want complete flexibility in the kit you're using. I feel likeI had more fine grained control with PFSense than I do with Ubiquity but I think that's a symptom of how the UI/UX rather than the features

You can do the same stuff with both options. I'm very happy with my Ubiquity set up, I don't see myself changing anything anytime soon

Yes

You're saying that like it's a bad thing?

The CAB Forum only govern public CAs and certificates and the use of certs on the public internet. Your private PKI will be unaffected by the new changes. On top of that the change will be introduced gradually, the first reduction is in March 2026 and will limit certs issued after March 2026 to 200 days so even if you saw some impact for some reason you'd still have a couple of months to put a fix in place

Freshman need to accept the cert once (hopefully after checking the fingerprint)

Nobody is checking the fingerprint, nobody

I hate it , thanks!

Mr President there's been a second signal chat

Take it as a ranty blog interspaced with some furry art.

You can just ignore the furry art if it's not your style because helpfully all of the important content is in the text.

Soatok links to the same Latacora blog on the first line and says that they're only really going to reword what's said there.

I’m not here to litigate the demerits of PGP. The Latacora article I linked above makes the same arguments I would make today, and is a more entertaining read.

PGP/GPG maintainers have had many years to fix the problems that have been identified but they haven't. Is it safe when used "properly"? Yes! It's absolutely safe when used properly but the problem is it's hard to use full stop.

I'm not saying modern solutions are perfect, because they're not but the alternates that Latacora ( and Soatok ) suggest are better. Do you want to encrypt a file? Use age. Use minisign/signify for signing. They do do one thing and do it well. Signal is easy to use and sorts all of the key management for you. Most people don't know what a private key is. They just know they want encrypted messaging because of the NSA or Snowden or whatever his name was on the news, they can't remember and they don't really care.

PGP has legitimate use cases but the vast majority of people don't have those cases and should just use Signal. Signal and the Signal protocol is the centralised tool you're looking for.
