They have such a bad reputation at this point

I had to stop recommending them after the last time this happened. It’s so easy to maintain an SSL certificate at this point that there’s no excuse. 🤦

There’s docker containers that do it for you, even Webservers / reverse proxies that do it automatically.

Not to mention if you’re not using any of those for whatever reason, setting up certbot takes like 3 minutes.
Show threadTjaFeb 25
Yeah, I meant a certbot container
Show threadranzispaFeb 25
certbot update a couple times a year…

Daily systemd timer for certbot renew

oh no… not again?!

I know a coworker who did the same with his certificates, maybe I should recommend him manjaro. They have a lot in common.

A bit of context is sometimes nice…

Did the website certificate expire?

Show threadtrxxruraxvrFeb 25
Yes. Again.
Show threadSaharaMaleikuhmFeb 25
But when was the last time they ddos’d the AUR?
Show threadpythonFeb 25
Pretty relatable ngl

Hey, free marketing. No one was talking about the distro, so they let it expire every time to get into the news cycle. Then they have an influx of people visiting the site, and they drop a new big feature/update to get more eyes on it.

Or they’re just incompetent.

Never attribute to smartness what can be attributed to dumbdumb

No reason not to use Endeavours these days, lazy man’s Arch. Manjaro had a few issues and the opinionated approach regarding video codecs sealed it for me.

Purple Arch is the best.
