jdmulloy | 8 years ago | on: ACME v2 and Wildcard Certificate Support is Live

It's a very nice feature, but you can't actually get the cert to use on your own servers or devices. You can only use it with AWS services, like their load balancers and Cloudfront. It makes a lot of sense that they do it this way, it makes it very easy to keep secure, since you never get the key. However it doesn't solve the same problems that Let's Encrypt does, and that's ok.

What's this about? It's hard to tell from the title or first few sentences.

"He told me the high dollar amount of completing the cleaning services I requested (since I control the budget) and asked incredulously if I still wanted him to book it."

In the article she mentions that she controls the budget, so it was probably over the budget he had to work with.

She seems like the sort of person who is very particular about the way things are done, and if you don't do them that way she'll be upset. He probably knew he was setup for failure, since she knows exactly what she wants, but won't tell him. He is definitely too passive, but she has probably inadvertently trained him to not do things without permission, because when he's tried she's been upset because he did something she didn't want. She wants him to take initiative, but he's probably gotten in trouble for initiative in the past.

GDPR stands for "General Data Protection Regulation". The author should have written this somewhere at the beginning of the article instead of just assuming all readers know what it is.

I believe they are referring to the character you are controlling. It doesn't let you walk off the cliff.

"Loveland Pass, Colorado, on US Route 6 summits at 11,991 feet. That’s where I’m headed, having decided to skip the congestion at the Eisenhower Tunnel. Going up a steep grade is never as bad as going down, though negotiating thirty-five tons of tractor-trailer around the hairpin turns is a bit of a challenge."

This sounds to me like he took a more dangerous route to avoid traffic. There should probably be a fine or some other deterrent for taking a dangerous route if you don't absolutely have to. He risked the lives of not only himself, but anyone else on that road.

jdmulloy | 8 years ago | on: ⁠Btrfs has been deprecated in RHEL

What do you mean by one chance to re-mirror? Does this mean that if the resilver fails you can't try it again? Is this documented? With ZFS or regular RAID as long as you have one good disk in the mirror you can resilver, is this not the case for BTRFS? If so this is quite disappointing.

There's a reason my server is running ZFS on FreeBSD. I also love jails, which let me have as many virtual servers as I want without any virtualization overhead.
