Seeking advice. I have many services that require cert renewal for HTTPS. My usual workflow for nginx is:
1) set up a cron job to call certbot monthly (strictly more often than needed for a 90 day cert but I'm lazy)

If you have a lot of art: paintings, drawings etc. HOW do you enjoy them?
For a long time I couldn't afford much art. So I always framed it right away and hung it up. But, the walls are a little crowded now. Considering a system where I rotate the art every half year? Seasonally? I would also […]

Was randomly reminded of this little drawing toy I made on a plane on the way back from Eyeo 2015. Very simple but I still like it! I think 80% of the charm comes from the dropdown menu.

I think the main thing that I like about html+js game engines is they make creating menus easier. This is because you're writing games in a menu engine instead of menus in a game engine. And at least from where I sit... the former is actually kind of easier, or at least it moves the friction to […]
