That is a lot of LSD! I think we would hear about that one.

Finally got around to dns-01 and acme containers today. Hooray LE signed wildcard lab cert.

I don’t know that I agree with that. Nazis suck, but just because they are trending at the moment doesn’t seem like a great reason to spend time dwelling in their ideology. Lots of people have done lots of ghastly things and you can’t unknow some of them. And now they live rent free in your head on the off chance someone’s words collide with an old phrase.

I don’t have a great answer, but I would have been happier if we taught people to recognize what fascism actually is and how to stop it rather than focusing on the icons and word choice of one set of awful people.

Adjustment on bullet one. We shouldn’t say they “raise” the chance, they are correlated with the increase. There has been no causal path suggested that I’m aware of. It’s a hard distinction if your not used to the concept, but it’s important.

Honestly, that is awesome! Absolutely try things. Seeing what works and doesn’t is a great way to learn. The sneaky thing about hiding is that it works great until it fails utterly. (Security through obscurity.) I’m sure everyone who says “don’t do that” says it because they left some random thing open once and it was a disaster. (I lost a private wiki with all my notes back in the day.)

Keep at it. ;)

I’m not sure what you mean by non-spying, but you should be prepared for anything you put on the Internet to be poked by any number of people that you do not want poking. If whatever you are hosting would be compromised by having a DNS name, you might want to rethink your security plan.

I’m going to go with “nothing”. They blend their numbers but I’d be willing to bet the amount of money they make selling direct licenses is tiny. (Tiny at their scale, I’d take it any day.) The whole OEM business isn’t even huge to them. If they start losing the enterprise market, then I’m sure they would throw down, but you and everyone you know installing Linux would be fine. Have you noticed how easy it is to steal windows and how there seem to be very few repercussions? That says volumes about what they think the revenue potential of that market is…

My son’s first computer was Linux. ;) He was still toddling but wanted to hit my computer, so I set up an old one for him.

I was 14 in 1991 I should add. I switched from minix not long after I could get Linux to boot. I think that was actually 1992. Both the computer and Linux weren’t very good back then …
