  • LetsEncrypt is legit. A downside is that the certs expire after 90 days. However, that also carries an upside in that it limits the damage in case a certificate is compromised. There are procedures by which you can automatically renew/request (I forget whether they allow renewing an existing cert or require a brand new one) LE certs and apply them to your application, but that can be fiddly to configure.

    If you’re not comfortable with configuring automatic certificate cycling, a long-term paid cert would be more appropriate.







  • Video title is:

    LIVE: Kamala Harris introduces Tim Walz as VP pick at Philadelphia rally

    One might more appropriately edit the title to read something like:

    Tim Walz references “the couch” meme at Philadelphia rally

    But OP saw fit to “ALL CAPS COUCH-F****R!” it.

    These guidelines will be enforced on a know-it-when-I-see-it basis.

    I saw it. I know it. The title of this post is inappropriately editorialized.



  • Couple of positives:

    Having the current VP take over the nomination at this point is “continuity of leadership.” It’s a much smaller change than bringing in someone with less name recognition, or from a “lower” political position.

    Having a woman of color take the nomination would make the race between Harris and Trump much ideologically clearer. It would also dare the right to show its true colors about it. Remember that we got Trump essentially as a “Well, if you can elect a black guy, we can elect a racist lunatic!” Having a woman of color running as the Democratic nominee is going to make people pick sides even harder than they are already, and it’s the “oh god, not Trump” people who really need to be motivated to pick their side.

    And you know that Biden’s endorsement of Harris had to have come after discussions with congressional Democrats and other party leaders to make sure most everyone gets in line behind Harris, and doesn’t act like a bunch of backyard chickens going every direction. I expect (hope?) this endorsement to be followed by many others.
