You can just issue new certificates one per year, and otherwise keep your personal root CA encrypted. If someone is into your system to the point they can get the key as you use it, there are bigger things to worry about than them impersonating your own services to you.

I counted twice. It didn’t match.

This should be higher. Lawful self defense in most of the US requires innocence, imminence, reasonableness, proportionality, and sometimes avoidance. If your state has no castle doctrine, this can mean if someone is only stealing things from you, there’s nothing you can do to them but yell.

There’s nothing you can say to the police that can’t also be said by your lawyer. There are tons of things that if you say them, you can get yourself prosecuted even with no crime. Tell them (don’t ask, don’t hint) that you want your lawyer, and you are invoking your right to silence, then be silent.

I’ve worked at a big tech company. I can all but guarantee there are some firey memes posted amongst colleagues about this situation. Unfortunately, they’re unlikely to ever become public.

Sure, sure, but what color did they paint the bike shed in the parking lot?

The boot you feel is the biological reality that we all need to eat (and more than just eat), and almost all of us need someone else to grow/raise/ sometimes prepare that food (and more than just food) for us. Supermarkets operate on extremely thin margins, and so do most farms, and so too most food factories. Most of them would go out of business if they cut prices by 5%.

People stealing from supermarkets cost the other shoppers around them, either through raised prices, or closed stores, if it’s bad enough. This is a major reason for the “food desert” phenomena, and why wealthy areas typically have cheaper groceries.
