Have you ever tried Linux on photosynthesis?

Bold of you to assume they read the book.

I use Debian for any of my servers. Its stability is unparalleled.

My personal computers are a playground though.

You’re right, my bad.

OP’s security concern is valid. Different CAs may differ in the challenges used to verify you to be the domain owner. Using something that you could crack may lead to an attacker’s public key being certified instead.

This could for example be the case with HTTPS verification (place a file with a specific content accessible through your URL) if the website has lacking input sanitization and/or creates files with the user’s input at an unfortunate location that collides with the challenge.

This attack vector might be far-fetched, but there can certainly be differences between different signing authorities.

Do you still need help with docker?

How close to vim’s functionality is evil mode? I’ve been toying with the idea of learning Emacs but I rely on Vim’s langmap and that is rarely implemented in Vim emulations / bindings.

You can learn Emacs in one day. Every day.

Even if you use arrows, you still have to reposition your hand.

Which of us didn’t crack the school firewall multiple times as they made it more and more annoying each time!

You can actually (for now) just replace gitea with forgejo while keeping all the files in place and it just works. Really easy then using docker, cause all it takes is changing the container image.

Besides what everyone else already said: Vimium-C. It lets you use Vim bindings in your browser. It’s also extremely customizable and even works with my bizzare keyboard setup.

It’s always the DNS!

Setting up synapse is particularly painful.

For a server for hosting services like in this meme? I always go Debian. Incredibly stable.

But but but virtual DOM /s

I was a huge C++ fan back when I was doing a bunch of competitive programming. If I need a performant project nowadays, I look to golang first. It gives me the speed of a compiled language with the usability of high-level language. I still solve the occasional Advent of Code in C++, though :)

There are free services that let you send and receive on your own domain. I use zoho. I can send emails with SMTP, but unfortunately, you cannot read them other than by using their web interface in the free tier.

Aiming for a future in IT security, I find this branch of computer science somewhat ironic. You basically work to make your future work harder, i.e. you make things more secure, making your job of finding vulnerabilities even more difficult. Still a sucker for it, though
