Certbot/LE should typically be running on the box that’s terminating TLS for you, right? If the box handling your traffic is down, shouldn’t that be a self-evident problem?
I’ve been running Caddy and certbot for nearly a decade and never found a way for them to break without it being 100% my fault. They’re more or less self-healing too. I’m with AmbiguousProps; cert renewals have been pretty damn reliable to automate compared to any other piece of tech, IME.
Have you had Certbot or LE fail on prod for you before?
I’m sure stuff happens, but I usually view them as one of the most robust moving parts on a server.
E: I don’t mean to express disbelief at all; just curious to learn about possible footguns.
I completely agree with you on all of those points. The present Venezuela invasion is totally heinous in my book.
Acting like Xi invading North Korea is the same thing as VZ is where I totally disagree with you.
Assuming the Chinese were to make a modicum of effort to prevent mass famine, I see the possible humanitarian boon as outweighing the international-relations consequences. Or to frame it differently, the crimes against humanity that North Korea has committed give China a valid casus belli.
That’s a truly bad-faith take.
My stance is that anyone who supports the sovereignty of the Kim Jong Un regime is a tankie.
People dragging you for supporting the fall of North Korea is some unhinged tankie shit.
Stay sane; ignore the .ml brigade.
Yeah, the wine is completely ridiculous.
Everyone knows the proper formula for cat longevity is tren, metformin, and a lil bit of creatine sprinkled on wet food. Keep ‘em swole.
You basically basing your opinion on nothing but vibes
I had mine stolen, because I wasn’t actively playing at the time and had no idea there was a migration or a deadline. So did many personal friends I used to play with. How is that a vibe?
if you look at my years of post history
I did and it’s a long stream of you angrily crashing out exactly like this. Smell shit everywhere ya go, might wanna check your feet, mate.
Mojang accounts were sold as a perpetual license, and the account changeover was a completely transparent strategy to terminate existing but dormant licenses so people have to rebuy the game.
Macrosimp detected.
Microshaft set a deadline for migrating accounts, which has now long passed. GP had their account permanently stolen.
If you’re looking for another book that leans into those traits, Blood Meridian is the move.
McCarthy spent a staggering amount of energy researching the historical context and setting, so if those interest you, I can’t recommend Pekka Hamalainen’s (nonfiction) Comanche Empire strongly enough as a companion piece. It’s a beautiful condensation of the mindsets, lifestyles, and economic forces working on all the players in the narrative.
The lioness’ joke was kinda butchered by the typos though.
I’ve talked about it before on here, but I’ll say it again because it hasn’t seen much press coverage:
I work on safety-critical biotech software regulated by the FDA. As of this year, the FDA started using LLMs to automatically review our submissions.
The FDA has been totally public about it, but it doesn’t take a genius to see how this scheme might land sideways.

Yeah, shooters are definitely harder but not impossible. Some games are starting to implement occlusion culling (i.e. the vision detection strategy you’re describing), but that’s impossible or hard to pull off in certain contexts.
Overwatch 1 is probably the best case study in that genre: while it absolutely had cheaters, their player report system took action pretty fast, and anyone banned had to pay $30 for a new account. In practice, that was a strong enough deterrent to keep people from doing anything game-breaking that ruined the fun for other players.
Fair to say you can never prevent false positives entirely, but you can get asymptotically close. Server-side is the way to go even if it’ll never be perfect.
Ironically, League of Legends was formerly one of the crowning examples of a competitive game that effectively managed cheats without aggressive client-side AC. In >5000 hours of gameplay, I saw one probable cass scripter and maybe one person scripting dodges on Vayne.
Gotta be the most quintessential McLennan County moment since 1916.
Lobste.rs might be up your alley.
Did I miss something? They didn’t post any real evidence at all unless there was a link I didn’t find.
What the post is describing sounds exactly like the post getting flagged by users, then uncensored by the mod team later on.
I’m both an HN user of more than a decade, AND a massive HN hater. I’m predisposed to assume the worst, but there’s very little meat to this allegation.
To spare anyone else the click, this is about one blogger malding that his flamebait posts got flagged.
First post cited was about leaving Element/Matrix because they’re bad, second was an Omarchy showcase.
You’re not wrong that most statutory legislation is freely and readily available, but determining if an act is illegal in a practical sense requires looking at case law too.
Depending on what domain we’re talking about, technical legislation also often references paywalled documents. E.g., I work in biomed R&D, and the FDA regulations for medical devices are tied to pay-to-play ISO standards.
Sounds like you don’t want the public knowing about the Shadow People who are constantly watching us, huh?
