fighting the lack of good ideas
In my how-to for Let’s Encrypt, I gave an example script that can be called via cron (or manually) which will renew Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates under CentOS 6. If you want to do it on CentOS 7 (which is what I am now running), use the following: cd ~/letsencrypt git pull systemctl stop httpd.service…

Since I last changed hosts. I’m sticking with the same provider, but making a pretty big jump – from CentOS 6 to 7, from 2TB to 4TB storage, and 16GB to 64GB RAM. Theoretically, you wouldn’t know this had changed at all unless you happened to catch it in the few seconds between DNS pointing…
As you know, we adopted our second son last year (which finalized in Dec – woohoo!). A couple weeks ago, we received Zeb’s birth certificate (which needs to be processed after an adoption), and applied for his SSN. Earlier this week his brand spankin’ new SSN Â card arrived – so I got down to finishing…

You think cloud storage is cool? What about above-the-cloud storage? Pros:…
The author of a recent Medium post is so close to right, it’s scary. Gary says the best thing you can do is to cut your meeting length in half. And that is a phenomenal step. One that needs to happen. But one that needs to happen in conjunction with an even more monumental shift. Change the start time…
Or maybe he’s right. But for the wrong reason. Over on Medium, which is where I saw his post, Dave said: “The problem of requiring HTTPs in less than 140 chars: 1.Few benefits for blog-like sites, and 2. The costs are prohibitive. There’s actually a #3 (sorry) — 3. For sites where the owner is…
It seems odd to me that most, if not all, electric vehicles don’t put individual drive motors at each wheel. It’d seem like doing so would be a more efficient transfer of energy from the electrical generation / storage system to propelling the vehicle than having centralized drives like IC-based cars. Or maybe they do,…
