|    TLS 1.0    |
|    17 Jun 21 12:53:19    |
      From: muta...@gmail.com              There are some servers that are using old software       with no easy way to upgrade to a later version of TLS.              Depending on the exact use case, people may not       care about having hackers with the ability to intercept       traffic to be able to decrypt their communication.              When I was using a BBS and occasionally dialing the       US (from Australia), it was all unencrypted traffic, so       some random telephone company staff had access       to my passwords. I don't really care. I was never       running Fort Knox.              TLS 1.0 means that the "glorified telephone people"       need to go to some effort to see my passwords, and       may lose their jobs if they are caught. Sounds good       to me.              The browser people seem to be in a conspiracy to       prevent people from accessing a TLS 1.0 server,       even internally within a company.              Sounds to me like there's a market for a rival browser       that enables the use of TLS 1.0, perhaps with a       warning.              Maybe I can start from scratch with a simple browser.              And offload the OpenSSL code (I assume there is no       public domain code available to do this, so this is the       best I can do) to my virtual modem.              BFN.
