- Comment on Let's Encrypt is 10 years old today ! 2 days ago:
A client of mine pays for an SSL cert he doesn’t even use. I’ve told him before I moved him to Let’s Encrypt because I was able to automate the renew process. He decided he needed to continue paying for the SSL cert. I told him we are not using it, but he doesn’t believe me. So he continues to pay for it.
- Comment on Is there any privacy-friendly way to use Facebook on iOS? 4 weeks ago:
Continue what you’re doing on the desktop and set up beeper with only your Facebook account to handle messages from your phone. It’s still not great, but I think it’s the best you’re going to get. Also, Beeper is just a pretty front end to a matrix server with a bridge connecting to Facebook Messenger. You could totally run it yourself if you wanted; check out the “self-host” link near the bottom of the page.

- Comment on Intel was once a Silicon Valley leader. How did it fall so far? 3 months ago:
Can’t remember the full details of the deal, but I seem to recall a story about how Apple approached Intel to manufacture a low-powered processor for mobile (for the first iPhone) at the time. Intel didn’t see money in mobile processors and passed on the deal. Additionally, for years, Apple asked for more powerful chips for the MacBooks. At the time, the iPads were surpassing MacBooks in speed on some tasks. Finally, Apple decided since they were already designing their own silicon for iPhones and iPads that they might as well just do the same for the MacBooks as well since Intel couldn’t keep up.
Again, this is largely from memory. I can’t remember the source, so take it with a grain of salt.
- Comment on A good tutorial for printing leather textures created in Blender with printed results and without plugin nonsense 3 months ago:
Exactly this. It’s crowd-sourced replacements for thumbnails and titles to more accurately reflect the content of the video. Only shared it because OP explained how much he realized the article was very much a click-bait title and thumbnail.
