Nevermind, I see the explanation in the markdown docs. Thank you for the write up!

Is that the equivalent of an authenticode cert? And did you still need to purchase that cert and then install it? (Will read the code to attempt to answer my own questions, but being lazy)

so far, five paid subscriptions have been gifted by readers! i have requests for four more.

if you want to fulfill these subscriptions, send $80 via venmo or ko-fi (links in bio) and i'll gift some more!

I will see Laura's contribution and sponsor one more! 🎉

You'll note that she offers one directly in the quoted message.

Personally, I don't need one; I trust her. And if she decided she needed to do something else with it, I'd...also trust her.

The whole point is to support her and her work.

Thanks for being awesome!

✅ Done!

Is there a way I could purchase a gift subscription for you to give away to someone who couldn't otherwise afford one?

We adore you!

**Not counting some, ahem, delicious losses.

We're currently using Serilog + Seq for logging, and opentelemetry with the otel-collector to Prometheus with grafana dashboards. I'm happy with how quickly it all came together and hasn't been too much of a problem. We're deployed in a Kubernetes environment, in case that factors in.
