I miss the days when I could set up some random Apache server and leave it running with zero attention for a decade or two.
These days it seems like even the tiniest of projects have random sysadmin work like a compulsory change to https certs with little notice.
It's frustrating and I think has contributed to the death of the noncommercial corners of the internet.

- londons_explore 11mo agoPlease accept the new T&C's within 90 days or your account will be terminated... 2 factor Auth now compulsory. Please validate your identity with our third party identity provider so we can confirm you are not on the sanctions list. If you do not, your account will be blocked. Etc etc. Every third party service requires at least a little work and brainspace.
