One Note To Rule Them All (not the one you think)
Looking back at my web search history, I have been on a quest for several months now to find a note-taking application that checks a couple of very specific boxes and that I can use for documenting my home network (aka home lab) setup.… Read the rest

More Let’s Encrypt V3, Part B, Subparagraph G
Well, it has been three months since I last had to wrestle with Let’s Encrypt certs.
As expected, they did not auto-renew.
I issued the commands found in the previous post on this topic and noticed something.
[name@server ~]$ .acme.sh/acme.sh --issue --server letsencrypt -d www.nycnyne.net

What I Did on My Mid-Summer Vacation: Day 3
If I had a late start yesterday, I was even more delayed on the third day.
