You Should Run a Certificate Transparency Log

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-09 23:36:54

Hear me out. If you are an organization with some spare storage and bandwidth, or an engineer looking to justify an overprovisioned homelab, you should consider running a Certificate Transparency log. It’s cheaper, easier, and more important than you might think. Certificate Transparency (CT) is one of the technologies that underpin the security of the whole web.

Epic Games, buoyed by the massive success of Fortnite, has spent the last few years throwing elbows in the mobile industry to get its app store on more phones. It scored an antitrust win against Google in late 2023, and the following year it went after Samsung for deploying "Auto Blocker" on its Android phones, which would make it harder for users to install the Epic Games Store. Now, the parties have settled the case just days before Samsung will unveil its latest phones. The Epic Store drama

I don’t often get asked about the phones I’m testing when I’m out and about, unless it’s a folding phone. Then I usually hear some version of the same thing: “Oh, I thought about getting one of those! But then I just got a [insert slab-style phone name here].” My anecdotal data matches the actual sales figures; there are many more people curious about folding phones than there are buyers of folding phones.
