My last cert renewal was $20 for 3 years. That’s less than a dollar a month, not exactly breaking the bank.
- Comment on Let's Encrypt is 10 years old today ! 1 day ago:
I’d love for them to explain how, if anything the short cert validity and constant re-checking of the domain seems more secure than traditional CAs
- Comment on Founder and CEO of Telegram messaging service arrested in France 2 months ago:
By that logic we should arrest all Car company CEOs for being complicit in crime lol, it’s not exactly his choice what people do with his product

This is hanging on our wall at work lol
- Comment on Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry? 3 months ago:
DNS failure can manifest in strange ways and have a sysadmin scratching their head as to why some devices are working fine (statically configured/running from DNS cache), but others cannot access the internet or any of their work services.
It’s usually the last thing you suspect, because DNS always just works, right?

- Comment on Discord Shuts Down Servers for Switch Emulators Suyu & Sudachi; Disables Lead Developers Account As Well 7 months ago:
It’s so goddamn easy to set up a basic forum site for a few bucks a month, and it’s not like there aren’t hundreds of options for file sharing as well.
The Xbox and PSP modding forums were where I used to hang out before Reddit, a well-designed and run forum is so much better than trying to basically make a website out of a chat room.

Scott is doing the lords work here, I really hope a precedent is set that games must be made available either via official support or by releasing the server files once official support is ended.
Plenty of ‘dead’ games that I can still play with friends because the devs made it freely accessible once support was over. (Halo CE’s GameSpy patch as an example). We will figure it out, just give us the files!
- Comment on Swiss hydrogen-powered train sets 1741-mile record for nonstop travel 7 months ago:
It works great for European countries sure, but when it costs roughly $5 million per kilometre to electrify track and there are for example 800kms between Melbourne and Sydney, the cost just gets astronomical, not to mention the headaches of getting 1000V DC across that distance.
A self-sustaining vehicle is really important for big countries with long inter-cou try rail lines that have no support infrastructure for hundreds of kilometres
- Comment on Swiss hydrogen-powered train sets 1741-mile record for nonstop travel 7 months ago:
For regional train lines/freight lines full electrification isn’t feasible due to the length of track, diesels still rule the train world because of this
- Comment on Telegram’s Peer-to-Peer Login system is a risky way to save $5 a month 7 months ago:

- Comment on Google’s self-designed office swallows Wi-Fi “like the Bermuda Triangle” 8 months ago:
What if I want to move my laptop around the office, say for example to make a presentation, or work in a different area? If I’m just working on some documents online, I don’t need a fast connection, just 30-50Mbit is plenty enough for pretty much everything, including video calls etc
And what you’re telling me you never use a mobile at work? You still need a signal to make/receive regular phone calls
- Comment on Google’s self-designed office swallows Wi-Fi “like the Bermuda Triangle” 8 months ago:
Can’t realistically plug your phone into the wall every time you want to use the internet
The whole point of a mobile phone is that it’s mobile
