s_q_b, you are hellbanned. I can't reply directly.

I don't really believe the NSA can effortlessly break TLS at will. That just seems too far fetched. What kind of alien supertechnology do people suppose they have?

I prefer Occam's razor. If the NSA are interested in XYZ.com, they'll just go to XYZ.com's DC and put a damn traffic splitter on their network. There wouldn't be too many XYZ.coms before they covered a huge majority of the kind of traffic they're interested in.

Sure, they'll do the backbone listening as well, just because they can, but most of the time I don't see why they'd bother. Sure they could lose the authorisation. An asteroid could hit the earth. In the meantime...

edit: s_q_b's hellban seems even less justified than usual.

edit 2: nice work removing the hellban, mysterious admin person. Was not justified.
