100% recommend tailscale. I have it set up so that IPs from three different data centers for work and my home are all routed properly, so I never have to do anything special to connect to anything. It’s like super simple and amazing.

I want it to go away too. But there is so much of everything tied up in this boom to think you won’t be affected is naive.

I like the way you think. 😄

My main issue with self checkout is simple. They constantly incorrectly flag me for shoplifting and then proceed to show my shiny bald head from top down to everyone within 20 feet on the checkout screen. It is not a flattering angle.

TIL that Jim Baker hasn’t been dead for 20 years.

I’d kinda prefer both lose…

You make some good arguments so I’m not attacking you at all, just my thoughts on your points. These short renewal times are getting to the point of ridiculousness and creating another point of failure with little time to do anything about it. I find these super short certs less than useful, create many more possible problems, and not really necessary except for a small set of circumstances. And I have been in IT as a web dev/sys admin/systems architect for over 30 years now.

• If a private key leaks you’ve likely done something wrong. Practice better key management and don’t be stupid
• Updating certs to keep up with new crypto standards is useless. For one they don’t change that often and if there is a pressing reason you can’t update earlier.
• Yes the processes have to be automated which is not a bad idea at all. But you are completely relying on the service to not be down and that something on your end hasn’t also broken. Anybody that hasn’t ever been a sys admin has had several automated process die for no apparent reason.
• This could actually be an issue but totally out of your control. This is only relevant if you domain hop frequently and if your that worried about security, you aren’t doing that.

One step closer to single use certificates. Great…

I hate how true this is.

If only. That natural born citizen thing gets in the way unfortunately.

But this guy keeps proving that politics done right can actually help people. Who knew that was possible?

Pretty sure they already have one …

Lemme guess, women and African-Americans…

I’m pretty sure they all swap ideas on how best to fascistize. Maybe contributing to some global fascist playbook.

Yeah I have built little wireless sensors using ESPHome. I figured this way I could just make it work with software since it was essentially for a joke and not really important.

The only thing I really use the connectivity for is to let me know when someone left the fridge door open. Which unfortunately happens a lot.

I think it’s cute you think the AI sites are paying attention to robots.txt. 🤣

I mean I can sorta understand some convenience functions but it oughta have some default setting it falls back to. Especially temperature settings.

I do have a Samsung fridge but nothing that fancy. I mean I tried to get it to trigger an Alexa routine to play a message when the door opened but that didn’t work. Alexa saying “Close the door fatty, you’re not really hungry” could have been motivational.

Google has done good things. Google has also done shitty things. To me the problem is the good things aren’t frequent enough and the bad things seem to be the default recently.

I’m guessing within Microsoft, it’s probably was a pain in the ass to get whatever department in MS that controls the microsoft.com domain to set up a subdomain.

I’ve had to deal with shit like this personally so I guarantee that was at least one reason. The departments that control the domain treat it like some sort of power trip and make it hard to do the smart thing.

I’m loathe to admit how long this took me to get.

TIHI.
