It's just part and parcel of owning the domain. It's one thing to have the domain, but the next step is offering an active website so that people that actually put that domain in a browser can see it's a placeholder.
When you own a domain, you can choose not to serve anything on HTTP/S, and still nobody can come and serve some other website on your domain, because they don’t control the DNS records.
HTTP is used by billions of people while SSH is not. It should be pretty apparent. Why do people answer my phone calls and texts but everyone is ignoring my smoke signals?
I don't really see the difference, code is protected by copyright (or copyleft) as much as art is, and yet the LLM scrapers use it without scruples. Same goes for math and science publications.
Artists take pride in the intentionality of every brushstroke, and for them any given work is much more likely to reach a point where it's considered "finished".
While coders may care about the craft (and I do), it's not as if the value of my code is in the exact variable names I chose.
I dunno man, there’s plenty of art out there that’s just splatter art and spinning canvases and splashing paint all over them.
Meanwhile there’s endless discussions about the right way to name variables (not too short, not too long, try to be self documenting, but not to the point of putting types in the name like we used to), and people definitely get judged by their variable names, it’s one of the first things someone will point out when they look at a codebase. “Why are all the variables a single letter this is bad code!”
Locking you out after a few wrong tries only protects against online attacks. If someone gets access to the database, they have as many attempts as they want.
Are there disadvantages in allowing users arbitrarily long passwords (or with a very high limit, e.g. 256 bytes)? No.
Are there advantages? Yes: the longer the password is, the stronger it is. It doesn't matter if there's a specific point after which cracking takes time till the death of the universe. So there's no point in imposing a limit.
Besides, too many websites limit password length to ridiculous lengths like 12.
You should reach out to the developers of all the major operating systems and explain how they've been doing it wrong all these years because they all set hard limits.
For a 20-character password to be strong, you pretty much need to use random characters; you cannot use the superior “correct horse battery staple” approach as you’d be limited to two words, which isn’t very secure.
