Last I knew, AWS would issue a free certificate to people using certain AWS services, but, as you say, only if Amazon is managing the private key. You can also use ACM APIs to import keys and certificates from other CAs.

The other benefit of expiration dates in a PKI is in case the subject information is no longer accurate. In old-school X.509 PKI this might be "in case this person is no longer affiliated with the issuer" (for organizational PKI)

Lots of surprises here! The general theme seems to be that the parser is very eager to find some interpretation of the input as a date, even in ways that appear pretty unprincipled, even in circumstances where human users would probably n

I enjoyed learning recently that the most common diacritics in Czech are the háček and the čárka. The word "háček" has a čárka followed by a háček, while the word "čárka" has a háček followed by by a čárka!

That's a significant distinction. In partial mitigation of this, Let's Encrypt will issue IP address certificates valid for only 6 days (not 90 days or 365 days or any other period). > They'll only be available under the s

The oddity I'd expect from this is that your local date changes at some moment other than 0:00. For example, in Moscow the date will change at 21:00.

It seems right that LLMs don't have an innate understanding of time, although you could analogize what you did with writing someone a letter and saying "please count to ten with a two-second pause between numbers". When you g
