  Stop doing DNS And it always causes issues. Anyway, I hope the main joke got spotted too. Let’s Encrypt now does IP certs: letsencrypt.org/…/6day-and-ip-general-availabilit… Certbot doesn’t seem to be up to the task yet, but lego works.

Launching something like LibreOffice Writer is funny, it will be loading bit by bit, icon by icon for several minutes. It was only usable for me on < 1ms network. Unlike say VNC, it opens windows locally. And now there’s Waypipe which does the same thing, but for Wayland. And it actually works! Even better than VNC. BUT, it doesn’t work for X progra...

  Yeah, they overlap since I did whole hour (120 30-second codes). I didn’t know specific time, so it’s 2 pages, 3 hours, 42 minutes and 30 seconds. Credit goes to oathtool (and LibreOffice Write). Font: Liberation Mono
