Paid SSL vs Letsencrypt in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We have had the opposite problem in the past. A cert provider requiring us to exist in certain international directories of companies took weeks of waiting around on bureaucratic red tape.

Then they didn't even call us to verify our existance, place of business or anything (yeah, this was one of the big certificate providers a long time ago).

Their website was horrible, and their support wasn't better.

LetsEncrypt though hasn't failed me once since it was setup, and that is over hundreds of domains with thousands of renewals.

Happy World Turtle Day! One of my favourite turtle-releated software development things is that Firefox console will show a little turtle icon on slow requests. Picture also related. in c/[email protected]

The Kame ipsec project (https://www.kame.net) has a turtle image which is animated if visited with an IPv6 address.

Does anyone know of a FOSS version of this (android keyboard with hexagonal keys?) in c/[email protected]

Not exactly that layout, but I can strongly recommend MessagEase. Also optimized for phone use.

Why isn't it recommended to change the SIGINT shortcut from Ctrl+C to something like Ctrl+SHIFT+C? in c/[email protected]

First thing I do on a new laptop is remapping a key I won't be using much to Insert, which I use all the time :)

HP CEO Says They Brick Printers That Use Third-Party Ink Because of … Hackers in c/[email protected]

What if they DIDN'T have a chip in the ink cartridge, and just used it as a container that could be refilled and used in every printer they made? No hacking the cartridge then.

No, that's crazy talk!

My go to smartphone keyboard is MessagEase. A few larger buttons instead of many small. You can get quite fast on it, and larger buttons means fewer mistakes.

What, no websocket-based realtime statistics for number of total, daily and hourly mistypings?

The Self-Checkout Nightmare May Finally Be Ending in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

In Sweden we have had a version of self checkout for 20 years in the largest stores, and here it seems to work fine.

Instead of having to scan everything at a station, each product is scanned with a handscanner when walking through the store, and put directly into shopping bags. Then only the payment and possibly a randomly occuring verification is left before leaving the store.

The random testing is usually just an employee scanning three to five items from your bags, and occurs like once every four months (as long as you're not actually stealing and caught).
