Did anyone actually land a deal through one of those muted channels, or are they just digital hoarding at this point?

I keep telling myself I'll prune them but the FOMO is strong.

Curious if you landed on mkcert with shared CA or went another direction. I've been using a similar setup with KnownHost boxes and the trust-store automation was the annoying part. Puppet ended up handling it but ARM had some edge cases with the NSS db paths. [quote=kat_fold]Mkcert with a shared int...

OpenBSD on what, a Soekris from 2009? Get real.

"the cloud" in scare quotes is where this problem starts. CPanel on shared hosting is a toy, Hestia on a toy VPS is still a toy. Get a real server, bare metal, 16 cores minimum, workstation class ECC RAM, run your own mail stack on hardware you control.

I migrated 200 accounts from cPanel to self-h...

Detroit. Virtualization is a lie. Containers are a bigger lie. This certification is biggest lie.

Contabo's actual cheapest is €4/month VPS in Nuremberg. Real datacenter. Real generator. Real cooling. Not great, not terrible. Honest.

€8/year i...

400 domains. Zero websites. All parked on 'the cloud' registrar because I got lazy. I have a real server with 32 cores bare metal at home that could host all of them but I have not touched it in months. The cloud made me soft. Toy hosting habits die hard. Workstation class machine sitting the...

You people and your ACME dependencies. I buy one 3-year cert from Sectigo reseller for $8, install it, forget about it. No cron jobs. No rate limits. No "oh no the CA is down" at 2am.

Yes it takes 15 minutes of clicking. I have 15 minutes. My sleep schedule has dignity.

The 'cloud' kiddies burned out years ago. Real server operators do not burn out. You want burnout? Try running a forum on a toy with 4 cores. workstation class or nothing. bare metal does not ask for vacation da...

The cloud finally lets you do real server things, shocking

Hostinger is still a toy at 1 vCPU but at least they are not infantilizing you with port blocks. I run my mail on bare metal, 32 cores, workstation class, none of this "cl...

Arbor is a box that reads headers fast and guesses. It don't know your game from garbage. You want clean UDP you pay for RTBH signaling or run your own sflow collector. Budget = shared = guesswork.
