One of the questions I always have is how do you re-bootstrap things assuming
Something really bad happens.
The shift to protocols that a user can’t speak over telnet/netcat really bug me
in this regard. Yes, I can openssl s_connect assuming I have that on my device
and the TLS police haven’t turned them all off because they’re too weak for
time(&now).
This is why the discussion really bugs me more than anything else.
