Huh, I didn’t know about this option. I’ll check it out. Thanks!

My ingress firewall blocks the cert renewal challenge requests because they always come from countries that I blanket block, which requires me to keep an eye on it and disable blocking on certain countries to allow the renewals to happen, then re-enable blocking… Let’s Encrypt (somewhat understandably) doesn’t publish the list of IPs that they will use for the challenge requests, so I’m not sure if there’s a better solution. Anyone dealt with this?

If you create little solar-powered micro computers and toss them onto the roof of a bunch of random businesses with public Wi-Fi, then run them as exit nodes then you could bounce your connection around through a random set.

I didn’t come up with this, I think it was a plot point in some novel I read.

What’s even worse is that even with these prices, Palisades is absolutely swamped with people on most days that are worth skiing (especially holidays).

So, unfortunately, the market can clearly bear these prices…

I definitely miss skiing in Tahoe when I was younger. Much different vibe now with all the crowds :(

Runabouts can be very awesome, but can anyone explain to me what the hell is going on in the UK where (in some places) they’ve added a bunch of traffic lights to their roundabouts? In my (admittedly limited) experience, they make them substantially worse, but perhaps I’m missing something?

Twitter is hot garbage, that’s only gotten worse since Elon took over, but this is really just a problem with government agencies/departments using social media websites as primary avenues of delivering information.

If you’re talking about Marvel Rivals, then it’s not made by a “Western developer”, but NetEase, a Chinese studio…

The annoying thing is that the annoying guys are more likely to get a date, while they just go about their day. Not because they are better, or because their methods are good, but purely because they approach more people.

I hate making people feel uncomfortable (no matter their gender), so I always struggled finding “spontaneous” dates, or even dancing with strangers at a club/party.

The only thing that really worked for me was using dating apps, where both parties have implicitly indicated that they are looking for dates in general (because they’re on the app) and explicitly indicated that they are interested in each other (by liking their profile, or whatever).

Although I’ve heard the apps have all gotten worse lately, I wouldn’t really know, as I found someone on Tinder years ago, and now we’re happily married.
