  • At work, I used ssh-signed certificates for Linux server access - those certs are only valid for about 15 minutes.

    The whole idea of shorter lifetime certificates is to address if a certificate is compromised. (Especially for client certificates which, iirc, Let’s Encrypt no longer offers).

    For a home lab? With no externally accessible services? Short-lived certs aren’t really a big deal. Nobody is going to be hacking your homelab, stealing your private keys, poisoning your internal DNS, and pointing you to a different, malicious service.






  • I’m not smart, but the first thing would be to pull whatever lever in the war powers act reigns in the president and stop the fucking Iran war.

    Next impeach motherfuckers.

    Depending on how much of a majority, look at passing laws that are veto-proof and actually do things like cap student loan payments, add back the SNAP funding, and maybe actually force the EPA/FDA/FCC/other captured agencies to not tear down their own organizations.

    But I’m sure the best we’ll get is a strongly worded letter from Schumer.


  • I work in IT. Every time more than a handful of IT folks get together the talk always turns towards how shitty their wives are/were before the divorce.

    Or the wife is framed as someone who keeps them from buying tech stuff (“I’d like to upgrade my homelab, but the purchasing department keeps turning me down! Har har”).

    I’m just sitting here with a lovely wife who trusts me to spend money on what we need to keep the tech stuff working.



  • So I started with Yakuza: Like a Dragon, but gave up on it way too early due to the crazy long cut scenes. A few months to a year later, I picked up Infinite Wealth and was blown away by the writing, character arcs, gameplay, etc.

    It was just so wacky and fun. Shortly after infinite wealth, I went back to Yakuza: Like A Dragon and now that I was more familiar with the gameplay/story telling I was able to get way more out of it.

    I went back to the beginning with Yakuza 0, then jumped ahead to Like a Dragon: Yakuza Pirate in Hawaii (or whatever the insane title the Majima stand alone game is called).

    (these coincidentally are my top three)

    I finished up the pirate one, went back and finished zero (now having more of an appreciation for both Kiryu and Mojima) and have been playing the rest in numerical order. Yakuza One, Two and Three are all great, I think I stalled out on Yakuza 6 before taking a break for a bit.

    I highly recommend looking at the Like a Dragon games - I like Kiryu, but I love Kasugra. His relentless positivity is something that I don’t find often in video games.
