gollark: It's done by centralized authorities, and they can also just arbitrarily delegate out that cert-making power.
gollark: Arguably DNS too, but that isn't really its fault.
gollark: Also the entire certificate authority system.
gollark: And still has a number of holes, like I think the ability to force downgrade to older worse versions and the unencrypted SNI.
gollark: You mean TLS? SSL is kind of outdated and 🐝 now.

In 2005 we (River Angels) played a cup match against one of the teams from Equatorial Guinea. It just happened very well in this match because I scored three goals. Immediately afterwards, there was a proposal to perform with the national team of this country. I have not thought for a long time, because in Nigeria, it is often necessary to have connections to play on the national team
