JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

laughing about how some computer janitor over at VLC HQ would rather reconfigure nginx to redirect away from this disgraceful bug report than slap an SSL cert on the update server and call it good

they don’t control the update servers. they use rando mirrors provided by other people and then check that the signature is correct rather than trusting the server.

the claims about the signature check being broken were incorrect
