Amarketplaceofideas SSL TLS Certificates

This blog was not loading on my phone, secondary laptop and friend's phone. Inquired with Dreamhost support. They suggested installing the free certificates.

An SSL certificate is a file installed on a website's origin server. It's simply a data file containing the public key and the identity of the website owner, along with other information. Without an SSL certificate, a website's traffic can't be encrypted with TLS.

SSL/TLS uses both asymmetric and symmetric encryption to protect the confidentiality and integrity of data-in-transit. Asymmetric encryption is used to establish a secure session between a client and a server, and symmetric encryption is used to exchange data within the secured session.

Does TLS use AES encryption?  – TLS is a set of industry-standard cryptographic protocols used for encrypting information that is exchanged over the network. AES-256 is a 256-bit encryption cipher used for data transmission in TLS.

Nissan Stagea Car

High performance station wagon
 

Nissan Stagea specifically the 260RS version (or an RS variant with the 260 kit

It's basically a Skyline GT-R in wagon form. Has the same famous RB26DETT engine (twin turbo 2.6ltr straight 6) and AWD system. Stock they make around 300hp, but it was common to replace the twins with a big single turbo and easily make double that. 25 years later and modern turbo tech means 1000+ hp is indeed readily achievable.
