  • I was forced to learn some of it at work (using and signing medical payment transactions, with x509 certificates) so I have ar least a starting point. I have no idea how the revoke process works though, I can’t figure out a way that it functions without a central authority getting queried regularly. I thonk I can start without that knowledge though.

    Anyway, with your information I’m up and running, thank you again!

    “Derived certificates” not child certs, noted !







  • And you still can’t self certify.

    It’s cute the big players are so concerned with my little security of my little home server.

    Or is there a bigger plan behind all this? Like pay more often, lock in to government controlled certs (already done I guess because they control DNS and you must have a “real” website name to get a free cert)?

    I feel it’s 50% security 50% bullshit.

    Edit: thank you all I will dive down the CA certification rabbit hole now! Have worked in C++ & X509 on the client side so maybe I’ll be able to figure it out.








  • The main parts are the dependency of your files ofc, if they all depends on file A, then that A has to be compiled first, mono tread. Secondly depending on your project (is it lots of dlls or one biig executable) the linker might be a big choke point, as it’s kind of mono threaded (per project).

    CCache can be fantastic, I worked on a 700-project soft (one executable), almost 2GB cpp source code, full recompile took around 2h on a modern 10/20 CPU, just compiling was often a drag but with cache it shrank compile times way more than any multiprocessing could.

    If you’re several working on a big project you can share the build cache too, so your rebuild will be almost instant because your co-workers have already compiled everything except your changes.
