And what happens if I forget something? So many email addresses and phone numbers to avoid marketing spam… no way I could honestly recall them all.

The current automation guidelines and defaults renew certs 30 days from expiry. So even today certs aren’t around for more than 60 days, it’s just that they’re valid for 90.

Additionally you can fairly easily monitor certs to get an alert if you drop below the 30 day threshold and automatic cert renewal hasn’t taken place.

I use Grafana self hosted for this with their synthetic monitoring free tier but it would be relatively trivial to roll your own Prometheus-exporter to do the same.

“And we know because we’re making a killing on fees on these low-no-negative balance accounts, not to mention their credit card debt.”

And I thought I had finally got the kiffness song out of my head…

His latest album is an impressive work of art; a love letter to Puerto Rico.

It might not be everyone’s jam.

It’s worse. My music is on Spotify - while I would no longer meet their minimum for payments, even before that change they refused to pay me or provide stats until I provided a twitter or Facebook page/IG page, none of which I have - despite publishing through an established publishing company who could absolutely handle payments and play stats.

Spotify is cancer.

Didn’t work for me. Got blocked with a subscribe pop up.

I have a shortcut that automatically gets or creates the links so no biggie - and I prefer the archive links anyway because there’s so much other noise on articles these days.

That’s a a great idea. Would you like me to come up with a business plan?

James Hoffman called bullshit on this one and it’s fun to see Huberman squirm in the comments. https://youtu.be/yCJr49GU9yY

TLDR: it might nonsense.

Wait we’re pretending WhatsApp isn’t spyware now?

They will never be happy.

Totally fair and exactly part of my original disdain. I was happy with SysV and Upstart. But here we are and I’ve got things to do. ;)

I hated repackaging all my software for systemd. lol. We waited as long as we could before eating that pie.

It was highly contentious for a number of years - largely because it had a lot more functionality and touched more parts of the OS than the init systems it was designed to replace. It was seen as overzealous by the naysayers.

I was in the never system-d camp for a long time because I felt like my ability to choose was being removed. Even some distros that provided alternate init systems eventually went systemd-only.

But I’ve come around - it’s fine, good even - though ultimately I had no choice or say in it.

It’s very straightforward and easy to write one’s own units. It’s reasonably easy to debug and often helpful when something isn’t working as expected.

Like all things in the world of software, many folks are going to try (and eventually succeed) to make a better mousetrap.

This particular init system’s design goals seem (at least to me) to indicate a focus on small, embedded and/or more secure systems where the breadth of tools like systemd are a hindrance.

We live in a town that’s one of the richest per capita in my country, thanks in no small part to several billionaire families.

It’s next to one of the poorest where many of the workers are supplied for the billionaires’ businesses.

Gee, I wonder how all that wealth got “created” or “transferred”?

This title is designed to make us go see “what corporate fuckup happened now” when this has nothing to do with the carrier.

Scummy landlord’s gonna scummy landlord.

I really appreciate your response. It’s incredibly helpful and deeply thoughtful. Thank you.

What comes next is not directed at you but rather provides some other color based on a few things you touched on.

I worked for the guy. He gets no slack from me. He changed my life in many ways both wonderful and not. And while it’s unlikely I’d work with or for him again he was a net positive in my life.

I don’t see product the way he sees product which is exactly as you note: it’s for him. Some of that “for him” approach has resonated deeply with the OSS community and still does. He changed Cloud Computing in the best of ways. He’s a giant. And we’re lucky he’s around.

This small ghostty issue (and some others I can’t recall now) was emblematic of our core disagreement about how we build systems for a broader user base. That’s why I said I get their PoV but disagree with it. I think it would be fair to say using the product reminded me a lot about this particular tension. Reading the GitHub issues even more so. That’s wholly on me.

I am thankful to ghostty for helping me explore many more options. I had been using iterm2 on my laptop and struggling to find something I liked on my Linux workstation. Checking out the new hotness after all the hype still resulted in a net positive.

Nevertheless I am genuinely happy it’s working for you and, again, thanks for your kind and calm response.

Yep - but seeing the thread about it in their github repo was also a turn off. I don’t have to do it with other clients.

I also believe that has to happen on each server - and we’ve got a lot of servers. I’m not particularly keen on needing to change anything to get my terminal emulator to, well, work.

While I get the ghostty team’s PoV - I don’t agree with it.
