Irresponsible Disclosure is a personal blog at blog.daknob.net about security and systems. Since 2016, 6 different Hacker News readers have linked it 9 times. The last post was in 2024, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked posts cover ACME for workload mTLS and end-user client certificates. HN readers cite them for the idea of an authorization-certificate challenge type for ACME, though the comment says that idea is only described, not shown.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
I'm surprised there is no authorization-certificate-based challenge type for ACME yet. That would make ACME practical to use in microsegmented networks. The closest thing is maybe described (but not shown) in these posts: https://blog.daknob.net/workload-mtls-with-acme/ https://blog.daknob.net/acme-end-user-client-certificates/
