In my searching, I had not come acress acme.sh and I am not aware of using acme-client for wild card certs.

These are great. I wish there were one for 70s/80s album art, but last time I looked at these projects they are still out of reach for hobbyists. I could stare at those all day.

I was responding to OP regarding non-trivial, which, I dare say, your reply agrees with. I mean, geez, you've resorted to Bash in OpenBSD. The Arc Language app that this forum runs on doesn't support HTTPS, so wherever the cert co

Landlords have at least one asset. The vast majority (all?) of their tenants have zero assets. This is a measure of wealth, but Bloomberg makes the same mistake that all of these borderline propaganda rags make which is to compare incomes.

Indeed. As I understand it, *BSD users are currently left out of wildcard certs from Let's Encrypt. HN runs behind an nginx proxy because the forum software doesn't support HTTPS.

Bankruptcy is: a good thing. It corrects the price of the assets to match current market. It transfers assets to more efficient owners. Bankruptcy is not: a vaporization gun. The assets remain in the physically existent universe, as do the

How would science be applied to determine that prices should exist?

I took the usage of "truth" in that quote to mean a philosophical truth, which I understand to be rather different from the way you are using that word. In consideration, I just discovered this article, which I haven't read c

It seems even more is the understanding that other disciplines are useful for answering other questions; that science or the scientific method cannot be used to answer every question. It makes discussions with people who feel this way nearl

No matter whether people own their own lives. It is for experts and bureaucrats to decide what are lives are worth, what our lives are for, what is safe, what is acceptable. Human life is just an equation for the central planners to tweak.

Well, technically speaking, the federal government has the ability to create money. The states do not.

The distortions in the markets caused by new money creates a lot of very serious systemic issues, it just doesn't do much to price inflation (or, at least, hasn't) because the money has been remaining in financial instruments. Mos

Well, that's what they tell their constituents. In practice, they increase budgets, run deficits, and increase debt every year.

This is even harder than it sounds, for reasons good and bad. If anyone is still bothering to follow the Constitution, the funds have to be distributed across the states, so you can't just give California only some funds. It is also po
