- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

MODERATORS
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. π€¦
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.
Yeah, I meant a certbot container
certbot update a couple times a year...
Daily systemd timer for certbot renew
A bit of context is sometimes nice...
Did the website certificate expire?
Yes. Again.
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
But when was the last time they ddos'd the AUR?
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.
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.
Pretty relatable ngl
