    Also: it’s still better to use a well-supported library for e.g. bcrypt than to use unstable code for Argon2.

    holy crap. this is a pretty convincing argument that unauthenticated encryption == encraption.

    96% of email sent from Tunisia to Gmail is stripped of STARTTLS, effectively removing link encryption. Wow.
