When I was writing #tlsmastery, I encountered several ACME clients that reused CSRs and key pairs. I threw them out of my brain.

Now I find myself wishing I'd made a list of those failures for reference today. Except after all these years I wouldn't be able to FIND the list, that is...

dang it, #n4sa2e needs a diagram of the X.509 Chain of Trust.

I can't just steal it from #tlsmastery, because that diagram includes Princess Bride in-jokes for that book's theme. :flan_headdesk:

Finished #n4sa2e Chapter 6, on netstat & company. 

Now to write a TLS chapter from scratch, without dragging in the entirety of #tlsmastery 

You can sponsor this silly thing, btw. https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/product/n4sa2e-sponsor/

One of my goals in writing #tlsmastery was to make writing about TLS in future tech books painless.

That is NOT how it has worked out.

@mwlucas If only you had a handy guide that could help you out #tlsmastery (/sarcasm of course)

2400 words on #dnssecmastery2e today.

Almost to the very end! All that's left is figure out the hashes and fingerprints for TLSA records in RSA & ECDSA keys, using raw OpenSSL commands.

So, what... four more days? I thought I was done with OpenSSL after #tlsmastery, but nooo...

For those who didn't know, because some folks didn't know:

#tlsmastery is out!

Choose the Beastie Edition, the Tux Edition, or the exclusive hardback with both covers!

Last Friday, had serious momentum on #skybreach.

Did chores Saturday, saw people in meatspace Sunday. Fun, but weird and exhausting.

Monday was spent shipping #tlsmastery sponsor rewards.

This morning, Costco and blog post and finalizing the accounting for said sponsorships.

Now I'm clear to write, and my momentum has evaporated. 

Time to ​ and get 

No words today, but #tlsmastery sponsor gifts packed and ready to mail.

Beemster is volunteering to make the #tlsmastery print sponsor gifts slightly more ratty. To imbue them with ratness, as it were.

Pondering taking him up on it. #rats #petrats
