I finally had a YouTube ad that was actually targeted at me yesterday. An ad for AeroMexico. Today, it is back to not knowing who I am at all.
-
Pumpkin carving

Here is a new one, got this while following a link to Spiceworks from inside a SW email. The link lists as going directly to SW.
-
I got that going to a few articles on The Register (from "the daily headlines" newsletter).

Hanging out with the kids, investigating our Steam library.

Watching Chicago Fire and Scorpion.

Wondering how do people here apply certificates to internal websites?
e.g. A unifi controller, so when I visit https://unifi01 I don't get the warning.Do you use external provider like 123reg and buy a SSL cert or do something internal?

Normal old school certs from GoDaddy or Digicert apply easily to these situations, you create a CSR, export it, use that information on the cert providers website, export your cert from them, install it on your internal host - done.
This isn't so easy to do with Let's Encrypt. This is because LE needs to check your ownership of a website by having direct access to that website.
That said, assuming you do have a website, you can have LE include a SAN, which is your internal servername, export the cert from the externally facing site, after LE installs the cert, then import that cert to your internal server. Then manually do that process whenever the cert is updated on the external server.

Everyone always blames not knowing Linux for not knowing computing basics. This thread he says he's all confused because it is Linux, but he obviously doesn't understand the Windows terms he's trying to use or just things like what a network is. He's literally mixing concepts like AD Domains and access points thinking that they are related. Understanding Windows at all would make Linux clear to him here.

"What does "hardwired to the network" mean to you?"
My first question when reading his post.

@dashrender Did start reading a guide on using Lets Encrypt but with some automation to renew the cert every x days.

Yeah, he's really struggling with the basics of like "what is a network".

It's odd because, for Linux, being on a domain doesn't make sharing files between them easier. For the use case listed it would add near zero benefit.

Nearly the same is true for Windows. Joining a domain doesn't alone make any file sharing happen.

Wow. I read what he posted. He doesn't even seem to know what he wants/needs to do with the Raspberry Pis.

Exactly. Even just talking at a description level, he has no idea what he's trying to accomplish or what has been tried. It drives me crazy when Windows people blame Linux when the issue is he doesn't know computers or networking. How does using a Linux device cause him to not know how networking works, what a Domain is, what drive shares are, what an access point it, what a bridge is, what his job is, or what a PC is?
