No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

They'd need a certificate authority to issue the certificate, and the victim's browser would have to trust that authority.
Edit: and the scammer would need to control the domain DNS server to use the subdomain, like another reply said, so the certificate alone wouldn't help much.
I've been able to downgrade https sites to plain http sites, through a series of loopholes which I won't go into.
So you've... compromised your own security. Grats?
My own security? Hah, that's a joke right?
Everything on the Internet Archive can be accessed via simple http, even if the original archived site was https.
All that does is allow someone in the middle to potentially read your traffic. So what's secret about the traffic between you and the Internet archive? If it's only your login details, that seems like a you problem.
It wasn't long ago that most of the internet was http only.
Who said I log into anything? I have terabytes of files archived, without any accounts anywhere, not even the archive. I'm not that stupid.
That's nice, be sure to tell us how it goes when HSTS is enabled
Checks own servers...
Yeah, I'd like to see that...

Anything on the archive can be accessed via simple http, regardless of whether the original site was https or not.
Yeah, but now you’re talking about communicating with
web.archive.organd notnonesense.reputable-bank.comas in the original post. In this case you’re not even trying to hide the fact, that you aren’t affiliated withreputable-bank.comand we're back to square one and you could also just usereputable-bank.com.some.malicious-phishing.websiteto host your page.Btw: all modern browsers will warn you when you access a non-encrypted website - some immediately, some only when you try to enter data into a login form.
I'm not trying to log into anything nor am I trying to get anyone's personal information. I mostly use the archive to make it a lot easier for legacy operating systems to access and download files and software and stuff.
You ever put Windows 3.11 or other legacy operating systems on the internet? Easier said than done, but http is basically the only way.
