Ok, I've finally identified what is wrong with my dns-persist-01 challenge integration. #LetsEncrypt prod server just does not support it yet... ;-(

Waiting for "Q2 2026" then...

DNS-PERSIST-01: A New Model for DNS-based Challenge Validation

When you request a certificate from Let’s Encrypt, our servers validate that you control the hostnames in that certificate using ACME challenges. For subscribers who need wildcard certificates or who prefer not to expose infrastructure to the public Internet, the DNS-01 challenge type has long been the only choice. DNS-01 works well. It is widely supported and battle-tested, but it comes with operational costs: DNS propagation delays, recurring DNS updates at renewal time, and automation that often requires distributing DNS credentials throughout your infrastructure.

Also this feedback on #Mythos #security audit from inside #curl 's team : https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2026/05/11/mythos-finds-a-curl-vulnerability/

Mythos finds a curl vulnerability

yes, as in singular one. Back in April 2026 Anthropic caused a lot of media noise when they concluded that their new AI model Mythos is dangerously good at finding security flaws in source code. Apparently Mythos was so good at this that Anthropic would not release this model to the public yet but instead … Continue reading Mythos finds a curl vulnerability →

High-Quality Chaos

As I have been preparing slides for my coming talk at foss-north on April 28, 2026 I figured I could take the opportunity and share a glimpse of the current reality here on my blog. The high quality chaos era, as I call it. No more AI slop I complained and I complained about the … Continue reading High-Quality Chaos →

All #AI tools are installed with curl|bash.
Developers are probably aware of the security issues with this.
But as AI democratizes, editors don't behave responsibly by training newcomers to blindly copy-paste things around the whole day...

**DON'T waste your time on this AI tutorial !** https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-run-open-source-llms-locally-and-in-the-cloud

The guy just tries random responses from the LLMs without understanding what he's doing... and he even does not complete the goal of the chapters !

Strangely, Beau Carnes - which published the article - produces excellent tutorials on the matter himself...

#sphinx configuration is very strange. The default is for both source documents and configuration file to have the same root directory. In order to put the configuration aside, I'm trying to adjust parameters but they are at different places (in the command line and configuration file) and they depend on each other... It's a nightmare just to change the default directories. #devops
