It looks like it's having trouble checking the uptime of one of my IPv6-only sites. Does it support IPv6?

Looks good, I currently use UptimeRobot for monitoring my own site and servers, but I have put it on my list to sign up for this too - for extra resiliency.

Yes, on GitLab. It works really well and helps to ensure that commits in my name and email are actually by me.

Use a CAA policy in your DNS to lock down the CAs that can issue for your domain, and then monitor for issued certificates with the certificate transparency logs. In modern browsers, certificates are not trusted if they're not CT-logge

Sounds good, and it would be perfect if you could make the 'How it works' button point to somewhere that explains the Gmail integration right off the bat, rather than buried a bit. :)

Looks interesting... It took me a bit of time to find out how it actually works, as the 'How it works' button doesn't actually tell me how it works. I had to click onto the FAQ in order to find out that it integrates with Gma

As somebody who has had about 1 sip of coffee in their entire life, how significant is the effect? I currently don't understand when people say that they need a coffee to 'wake up'. Does drinking the coffee actually make you

That's a good point actually - although when using dedicated hardware I usually have in my mind that everything is raw rather than abstracted by a hypervisor, so this sort of thing should be more expected. With a public cloud you don&#

All my servers do an update and dist-upgrade every 24 hours, and it emails me the log. I saw this post just a few minutes after checking the log for today. I imagine that this is a higher risk for virtualized servers in a public cloud. I us

I also primarily use a 'flip a switch' setup specifically for this reason. To be honest I think that using your own domain name is the only way to go these days, as even other email providers can have issues resulting in you being

Is it normally quite easy to get your account unsuspended, or are there cases where it's an absolute final decision and you can't do anything? This is assuming that you didn't deliberately do anything bad/illegal, but ma

No it's a bit more primitive than that. :) For basic IDS, it's a Python program I wrote a few years ago which does a recursive wget over my entire website, then generates SHA256 hashes of each page. Then it compares the hashes aga

I bet that domain names will be expiring too... of course the .gov domains should be fine as it's a restricted TLD, but many government organisations have other non-.gov domains too.

Expired certificates are not checked for revocation, so it could have been compromised and revoked, but your browser wouldn't block the connection. Unfortunately in reality very few organisations actually revoke certificates. Revocatio

Namecoin's .bit namespace is a bit like this, but since it requires custom software or DNS servers to access them, it's use is unfortunately limited for now.
