Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.

  • From what I’ve read (I’ve done a few hours of reading on this specific topic at this point[damn you curiosity]). No. They’ve done all of 2 things with Israel in basically a decade. 2 exercises in a decade isn’t really enough to say that there’s any meaningful relationship other than “we’re not enemies”.

    I could be wrong… But I do not get that intent at all from Cyprus, which aligns with their “surprise” at being yelled at from some other country about a country they barely interact with from a military perspective.

    I’m ex-military and have personally participated in more exercises with countries the USA was less friendly with politically.





  • The site is already available in HTTPS. Why would you even serve content non-encrypted?

    If you need an education on the matter… Here you go. https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/why-use-https/

    “I don’t handle sensitive information on my website so I don’t need HTTPS”

    A common reason websites don’t implement security is because they think it’s overkill for their purposes. After all, if you’re not dealing with sensitive data, who cares if someone is snooping? There are a few reasons that this is an overly simplistic view on web security. For example, some Internet service providers will actually inject advertising into HTTP-served websites. These ads may or may not be in line with the content of the website, and can potentially be offensive, aside from the fact that the website provider has no creative input or share of the revenue. These injected ads are no longer feasible once a site is secured.
    Modern web browsers now limit functionality for sites that are not secure. Important features that improve the quality of the website now require HTTPS. Geolocation, push notifications and the service workers needed to run progressive web applications (PWAs) all require heightened security. This makes sense; data such as a user’s location is sensitive and can be used for nefarious purposes.

    I don’t feel the need to be your teacher. You can easily google why you should always be using HTTPS. There’s numerous reason… all overwhelmingly obvious. Forget the basic “Not every ISP is an angel, and they all will collect as much information as they can get”. But I already said that… “It’s still best practice to limit sniffing.” Not sure why I need to elaborate any more on that. Very much akin to “why close your window blinds”, because nobody likes a peeping tom.

    Ultimately for this specific website it’s literally changing a couple lines of code in their apache or nginx instance (or whatever proxy they’re using). It’s called best practice for a reason.

    Edit: Hell it’s even a bit more of a guarantee that your site makes it to the consumer unaltered. Would be odd for that site to have it’s packets intercepted and midget porn be added to every page wouldn’t it? Think that would hurt the guys reputation?









  • It has nothing to do with belief(although I’m sure some militant atheists chose to use lowercase universally, they’re likely just grammatically ignorant) . It’s noun vs descriptor. Abrahamic God (and Muslim doesn’t matter either… it’s the same entity in all three) is literally it’s name. A proper noun. In your example of Thor, god is just a description, not his proper name. But Thor is not a good example as he’s actually a demigod, but demigod is never capitalized as there is no god called “Demigod”. Odin is the god of war and the dead… and ruler of valhalla as a more accurate entity to discuss.

    God is a god. My god is God. Both of these previous sentences are grammatically correct. The Bible itself even makes these distinctions. Example:

    John 10:33-36 (KJV):

    33The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
    

    Other sources agree.

    Other examples of the phenomenon… “The other day, Mom cooked with the other moms.” You call your mom “Mom” as a proper noun. Where mom is a general descriptor for the other women your mom was cooking with. “Is she your mom” vs “Mom is calling for you”.




  • (or worse, the guy who wrote it claims that he found this text written by someone else 50 years ago)

    Oh it’s way worse than 50 years. One of the “direct” claims of writing was Josephus. With the text written 65 years after Jesus would have lived… and the next reference to text of [Josephus’ writing on] Jesus being from 350AD… ~250 years later. With the actual direct references showing up 100 years later. So somehow we have a supposed account… That writer writing about it 250 years later write about… Just for what was mentioned to change 100 years after that. We literally have a documented accounting of the evolution of the text over time which couldn’t happen if the original source was maintained.

    Edit: omitted words I meant to type… In brackets above.
