things I did not expect to see in a presidential memo (Biden's final one on cybersecurity): references to encrypted DNS and BGP route origin validation filtering. (sec. 4). Also a mandate for email to be end-to-end encrypted by default for federal agencies (!) - I wonder if this will mean PGP or S/MIME or something else … https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2025/01/16/executive-order-on-strengthening-and-promoting-innovation-in-the-nations-cybersecurity/

@greyllama @jerry @darkuncle You think he’d prevent his boss from reading government email?
Honestly, that’s the Occam’s Razor explanation at this point.

@darkuncle while that was good to see, Trump rescinded that order already.

@darkuncle @greyllama @jerry Wait wait wait, has anyone told him about Trumpcare? Or the Trump Green Energy Plan? Or Trump Beats Global Warming? 🤔

@tek @greyllama @jerry honestly, the most likely explanation here is that he will issue his own nearly identical order, then claim credit for it being a good idea. the thing he hates the most is anybody else but him getting credit for anything.
