I think the key to Trump's downer on solar is this part: "Millions of people in poorer countries now have more reliable access to electricity, often through their own endeavours rather than massive installed infrastructure." Oh noes, the 'shithole' countries can haz their own cheap energy, and be less reliant on infrastructure controlled by multinationals! Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's his 'logic' in a nutshell.

At its nut is centralization vs decentralization. One can be bribed, grifted, coerced, influenced, & controlled; the other can't.

The new Firefox redesign is awful.

What happened to Mozilla, my god.

They're trying to copy chrome.

But the previous redesign was also terrible, just differently terrible.

Cloudflare plans to issue quantum-safe TLS certificates

The move will be part of a major overhaul of the ecosystem for website authentication.

arstechnica.com

Cloudflare said Tuesday it plans to issue quantum-proof TLS certificates, making it one of the first authorities to issue such certificates, which use a form of cryptography that is widely believed to withstand attacks from quantum computers.

The Internet infrastructure provider said it will use an open source platform that issues both classic TLS certificates and a post-quantum equivalent known as Merkle Tree Certificates. The hybrid certificates will be free to both paying and non-paying users. To help build the massive system and establish ubiquity across the sprawling TLS ecosystem, Cloudflare will be acquiring an already trusted certificate root from CA GlobalSign. Cloudflare said the move will let millions of websites use post-quantum certificates at the flip of a switch and without incurring any increased performance overhead.
