Stephen Miller? The migrant? Yeah, sounds good. I heard he crossed the Darien Gap by eating five toddlers as rations.

I don’t think that applies since /* will just glob out to all the filenames in /

Wouldn’t the authentication API provided by your DNS host be the ACME server?

Yeah. For wildcard DNS from letsencrypt, you can’t do HTTP validation, only DNS, which involves creating a TXT record.

Your DNS provider needs to run an ACME server, which runs an API that’ll add the required TXT records on request.

As I understand it.

Not all dns providers support acme, I’ve discovered to my recent annoyance. The one I use at work, for instance.

At one point I rebuilt a server by fully abandoning the package database and reinstalling everything as overwrites. Converted a slackware install into a Debian install in situ by cannibalizing it from the inside out. Pretty proud of that one, even 20 years later.

edit: oh gods… more like 24.

Debian stable, I guess, has both people sleeping on cruise control. Fine until it stops being fine, and then a flurry of activity.

Edit: or maybe a train. Boring, except for updates and dist upgrades.

Yeah, chicken and egg. Unfortunate twitter has now locked down feeds so you have to be logged in, so also fuck them on that point.

It’s a tradeoff. I am so disgusted by twitter that I chose to give that up and leave.

This is a baffling comment. There are tons of people on mastodon, more than I could ever hope to keep up with. I have a couple hundred accounts on follow and never manage to keep up. Honestly it could use some sorting.

Not only misgendering and not knowing anything, but for me the cherry was the fact that the only thing TFG could think to say about generic_woman was … that she was hot. What a stupid go-to. Not smart, savvy, interesting… no, she is obviously hot. That is the best compliment.

Unfuck that guy.

Probably thinking of Nikki Minaj or something.

I don’t think that is necessarily out of the running yet. OS development is expensive and low profit. Commodification may be inevitable. Control of the shell and GUI, where they can push advertisements and shovelware and telemetry on you, that is profitable.

So in 20 years, 50? I predict proprietary OSes will die out eventually, balance of probability.

They also tend to have linux support. Where the AAA companies want to eat the entire mammoth and scorn the scraps, small companies can thrive off of small prey and the offal. :)

Didn’t that originate in a Sabrina The Teenage Witch episode? Or did I just imagine that?

Look into Sawyer water filters. Much easier to use than lifestraws, last longer. Pressure instead of suction.

So mad at them for cancelling that. It was a bright spot in a bleak landscape at the time.

“Hey let’s make a game for nerds and ignore the OS with a dramatically higher uptake among nerds”

yeah, I haven’t had issues getting a webcam to work in years, just plug and go

That would be a very interesting virus.
