Quite honestly, it is very impressive that @letsencrypt has a little down time as it does. The certificate world is full of landmines that themselves have small poison darts that fire randomly. To issue a metric ton of certificates with this little outage is an accomplishment.

So have an outage. As a treat.

Excited to try a new Xiegu G106 firmware update that claims to improve the AGC. Right after transmitting it sometimes passes through a burst of loud signal… fingers crossed that's what got fixed.

The instructions provided from the manufacturer are for Windows. On #Linux you can use "screen" to trigger the firmware erase and "sx" (found in the "lrzsz" package) to transfer the file.

'Let's Encrypt has resumed issuance.

Due to an issue with the cross-signed certificate from our Generation X root to our new Generation Y root, all issuance has been switched back to our Generation X root certificate. This affects our "tlsserver" and "shortlived" ACME certificate profiles.'

I've spoken to people working at major tech companies who've written little scripts that fire off some queries every day specifically so they can say they're using the stupid AI system.

seeing yet another person say basically "I know I need to leave github, but I can't right now" ..

a talk title came to me: "look for the exit nearest you". This hypothetical talk would be full of actionable ways to reduce the eventual costs of leaving an online service, even one that seems heaven-sent today.

Because we sure keep being fooled about the shiny new service, thinking it'll be just as good forever because who would deliberately ruin it...

It’s what I’m sure the Trump admin was hoping for. They •wanted• an ICE agent killed. That was the •goal•. They wanted a situation so chaotic, so violent, so intolerable that eventually somebody would just straight-up shoot an ICE agent, and then they could declare martial law. They were desperate for that.
