I'm evidently a bit crazy. Just discovered that evidently I tried to email myself a test? What the fuck?

Just got a Micro.Blog site up. Just need to then associate it with my external feeds eventually, as well.

The #Keybase proofs system is launching tomorrow. I've just finished a couple of last-minute patches, need to get them in, release rc2, so that 2.8.0 can launch tomorrow as well

And oof, I have not written a release blog post yet

You will be called upon to help a friend in trouble.

The Network Timeline is finished, and ready to ship! Will be making a big announcement tomorrow 😁 #pixelfed

Wow. This is awful. I'm having to look up connection strings in . Why? I ought to know this after doing it for so many years.

You can definitely tell a Monday that's tempered by the bright presence of one of your staff. I've been goofing around on Discord all morning with a bunch of guys, and one of them is fairly new to our group. I didn't know what the heck to think of him there for a bit, but he's great. Not to mention, his auratic coloring is unique, too; a combination blue and green. To add to that, he's an Aussie.

LetsEncrypt 

Even though it's a single point of failure the appearance of LetsEncrypt has been an important factor in the re-decentralization of the web.

I first started running gnusocial some time in 2015. I would have started earlier but I only had a single TLS certificate to be used sparingly and didn't particularly want to run it unencrypted, given firesheep and all that. Self-signed certs were also an annoyance since they tended to produce a lot of browser warnings.

The cost and complexity of obtaining CA certificates was a limiting factor before LetsEncrypt.
