I mean, most web application backends don't implement TLS at all, under the assumption that you're using it alongside a reverse proxy. Most of the time this is nginx, but if you want to ensure no bugs are introduced on the HTTP level by the reverse proxy, stunnel is a perfectly fine option.

Right! That, or I otherwise encounter some kind of asymmetry where one side, whether it is a client or server, implements/requires speaking TLS whereas the otherside isn't readily equipped to do so.

I've found stunnel a godsend for bridging the gap. Granted, I am more of a sysadmin-ey type where a few times I've had to abruptly/quickly get something up and running.

Firefox has a builtin PDF reader, PDF.js, that resides inside of the Javascript sandbox. In theory, it's as safe as loading a webpage.

So not actually all that safe since sandbox escapes happen all the time. PDF.js has had many vulnerabilities as well

There have always been different types of hard drives...

Please stop watching that guy, he is a total fraud and knows nothing about physics.

I can't think of a more idiotic idea than a software package where every single user has a slightly different installation because the only way to install it is to feed a hallucinating random word generator with some vague instructions.

So we're just completely making shit up now?

Tor Browser handles this, it treats `.onion` as a secure context.

Note that this is not licensing the content (the content is already licensed to all of humanity, there is no royalty to be paid), this is simply them paying for a big data pipe to access the data, so that the consumer API endpoints are not overwhelmed. They will give this type of access to anyone who asks and is willing to fund the bandwidth usage.

Unlike for example Reddit, they don't actually make any attempt to block scraping other than ordinary rate limits. They just kindly request that you go the proper route instead, which in theory will be beneficial for both parties.

Microsoft is a modern IBM holocaust tabulation machine. Yes, many of the people who work for Microsoft should be prosecuted and put in prison for war crimes, with varying degrees of culpability. There are people in MS who knowing negotiated deals that aided and abetted war crimes, and those who wrote morally repugnant military surveillance software that was used to automate mass murder in the Gaza holocaust.
