3 months expiry time was a deliberate choice to force users to automate the process. Ideally you would have a central store with a letsencrypt client, and all your actual web servers periodically fetch their certs from there.

It only matters if you intend (or require) to CNAME your main site off to some other DNS name. If you're serving your entire site from S3 for example, you can't just alias yoursite.com to your-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com, but you can

What about having a single product, and charging for a proprietary license + support? This may work better with GPL as many large orgs are allergic to it. With MIT license, many sites probably just implement the branding changes etc in the

You could say the same about screen vs tmux (or endless other software clones). Projects like these help drive innovation on both sides. Competition, if you like. Besides, Pymux is Python while tmux is C. I'm sure you can appreciate th

Given that Google Ads are mostly used on third-party sites, does this mean they will be sharing some of that revenue with the sites that now loses their ads? If not, why should we give Google money to take potential income from smaller comp

This is probably pretty common. When I first deployed virtualization at a previous job ~5 years ago, it took almost two years before I realized all images used the same host keys. Can someone versed in cryptography comment on whether this a

There have been discussions in the past about "standardizing" on an Examples section. It is usually what I miss the most in any manual.

These concerns are exactly why I don't install or recommend Mint to others. Terrifying that they haven't fixed it after all those years. It seems more of an attitude rather than technical issue. > There is still room for an ea

Here's a video (from Japan) about this phenomenon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGPGknpq3e0 I wonder whether it was discovered independently, or if it has been communicated somehow. Or maybe they've "alway

It's called security theater because it only gives the illusion of security: there are many examples where people have successfully brought knives, guns, explosives and what have you through these full-body scanners. Further, it's

That's both hilarious and sad. Meanwhile, people are successfully bringing guns and explosives through the full-body scanners. http://www.wired.com/2014/08/study-shows-how-easily-weapons-...

The GP never asserted being an expert and made a well-reasoned argument (unlike yours). I spent three weeks in China last year and generally got the same impression. We westerners perceive Chinese people as oppressed and poor, but the peopl

I'm guessing that was GPs point, that receptionists and doctors will happily fail to inform patients of this, and rather make separately charged appointments. While I haven't been to the dentist yet, after living in UK for a year

Salt or Puppet could work, if you don't mind templating out your dotfiles.

Yes. I don't understand why everyone keeps reinventing this tiny, full-featured symlink manager. It can also unstow and restow, ignore patterns, etc. Highly recommended.

If you don't explicitly specify (de)compression method ( z for gzip, J for xz), tar will try to guess it.

I ran some benchmarks with perf stat a while back, consisting of displaying a multi-MB text file on screen. st was a lot slower than urxvt, but on par with VTE based terminals. urxvt has other problems though, so I'll stick with st.

So $6000 would get them over two years of self-service DDoS mitigation. Ouch.
