The usual way for me is to give certbot write access to a directory in the HTTP root, so the server can keep running.

For internal stuff, it may be easier to set up your own CA.

China’s carbon dioxide emissions are more than a third of the world’s total emissions. Their CO2 emissions are increasing and accelerating.

No matter how much they subsidize solar, unless they implement a carbon emission tax, the emissions will keep increasing.

Thanks, that looks a little better, but still missing things like sending keystrokes to non-active windows. (Also, I’m on Mate desktop on most my computers.)

I just need xdotool. ydotool is missing almost everything. I don’t need programs sandboxed from each other. I don’t need that multi-DPI stuff (200% scaling works fine in X). Wayland doesn’t provide any features I’m missing.

It would be a more meaningful discussion if the government wasn’t controlled so much by large corporations and oligarchs.

The GrapheneOS people. Everyone in their IRC unironically thinks Iphones are highly secure, in part BECAUSE they are proprietary. But they also don’t tolerate any criticism of Google, especially if you criticize Google for being proprietary.

Usually it’s this, but sometimes the Recaptcha doesn’t even load (looks like an IP ban). I just submit the form, and then get an error message saying I must complete a Recaptcha, but there’s no evidence in the page of any Recaptcha to fill out.

I’m on a residential ISP. I’ve checked every IP address reputation system I can find, and see no problems (except from “Clean Talk”, but they’re so small that I doubt Google uses them).

Also, I hate knowing that I’m doing unpaid labor to help train an AI that will make the world a worse place.

I can’t make an account, because I can’t complete a Recaptcha. Google Recaptcha is used on every ubuntu.com signin page. (This means I also can’t submit bug reports.)

I have self hosted my email since 2006. I gave up on self hosting outgoing mail in 2021, but I still keep the server up for incoming mail, and still set up throwaway accounts on there.

The hard part of hosting email is getting Google and Microsoft to accept outgoing mail. Tons of businesses that do not have visibly outlook .com or gmail .com addresses are still hosted by those servers.

I had SPF, DKIM, and a static datacenter IP address with no reputation problems. I still couldn’t get through to Microsoft, not even in people’s junk mail directory, until they manually whitelisted my address. Microsoft didn’t allow them to whitelist a whole domain. Google was a little easier, but they added new demands monthly.

In 2025, I can’t get reliable delivery to gmail .com addresses even sending from a hotmail .com address in the outlook .com web interface.

I got GOG Galaxy working in Steam, through Proton, as an “Add a non-Steam Game”. I’ll have to try Heroic Launcher.

I loaded a bunch of articles until it prompted me to pay. I got the screenshot below. In my opinion, this is an intentionally misleading fake 50c/month offer.

Not sure how much you’re paying for your VPN, but a virtual private server can be had for about $5 per month. You’ll get a real IPv4 address just for you, so you won’t have to use non-standard port numbers. (You can also use the VPS as a self-hosted VPN or proxy.)

$5 per month doesn’t get you much processing power, but it gets you plenty of bandwidth. You could self-host your server on your home computer, and reverse-proxy through your NAT using the VPS.

a slide out menu needs JavaScript

A slide out menu can be done in pure CSS and HTML. Imho, it would look bad regardless.

When if you said just send the parts of the page that changed, that dynamic content loading would still be JavaScript

OP is trying to access a restaurant website that has no interactivity. It has a bunch of static information, a few download links for menu PDFs, a link to a different domain to place an order online, and an iframe (to a different domain) for making a table reservation.

The web dev using javascript on that page is lazy, yet also creating way more work for themself.

He’s also one of the inventors of Javascript as a browser feature. I feel like that would matter to OP.

Search is easier to implement without Javascript than with.

<form method="GET" action="/search">
<input name="q">
<input type=submit>
</form>

Cloudflare has IP banned me before for no reason (no proxy, no VPN, residential ISP with no bot traffic). They’ve switched their captcha system a few times, and some years it’s easy, some years it’s impossible.

killall -u 1001

I think top has a way to do it interactively.

How do you add a custom service to systemd? Let’s say /usr/local/sbin/foobar . I can never seem to get it to work, but can do it easily in sysvinit.
