Ironically enough, my personal infrastructure is 100% let's encrypt-powered.

.:Ninjatrappeur:.This let's encrypt situation is depressing.All in sudden, the web will appear as broken for a big fleet of perfectly functioning android smartphone & other devices having their software stack unmaintained. What can these device owners can do besides buying a new one?How much e-waste is going to get generated from this madness?Once again, we, as software engineers as a whole, fail to seriously address the climate urgency we're currently facing.

.:Ninjatrappeur:.The more Haskell I write, the more I work with FP power users, the more radical I'm getting around the idea that *every* programmer should have a decent C knowledge.How can you leverage the full power of free software if you are not able to understand and modify the underlying abstractions you're building on top of?Yes, the language is full of footguns security-wise. Yes, writing anything is it is terribly verbose. But like it or not, C is still the lingua franca of system programming. You *have* to master it to some extent.

.:Ninjatrappeur:.I just realized my pleroma instance has been broken for several days and was unable to federate my statuses. People were not just ignoring me in the end :DLesson learned: if you have a working IPv6 setup, redirecting some incoming Nginx traffic to localhost:listeningPort will silently fail if your proxied service is actually listening on 127.0.0.1:listeningPort.Either make your service listen to [::] as well or explicitely point to 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.
I am into building long lasting softwareI write free software.I write a lot of Haskell.I mostly contribute to NixOS these daysE12D 4FFE F5C4 AD27 1345 0A8F 6C7E 9E38 B61E 7F42https://alternativebit.fr
