    Hello All?

    http://www.ranum.com/security/computer_security/editorials/dumb/

    Don't bother going to the home domain. This guy might be a
    security expert and milling enthusiast, but he's a lowsy/dumb
    website designer.

    Actually, the site uses a captcha service that requires javascript to beat, which means I am nto even bothering. Thanks for the warning though.

    But were you able to read the /dumb page? The material is
    actually quite good.

    It's the home page www.ranum.com that looks totally out of place
    and is the one to avoid.

    The whole site is captcha blocked, included the /dumb folder. So no dice.

    Hmmm... I didn't have to enter a captcha. But I just have an
    adblocker enabled. Maybe that did the trick?

    I'll try to get the content out to you. It's a good read!

    BTW.. Is your system with our original pgp credentials working
    yet? It seems that you were able to decrypt the ProtonMail
    version of my messages using your key.
