You mentioned a book though… Now i’m curious ;-)

The reason i chose Step CA over openSSL is because with step CA you can automate certificate renewal without any manual intervention. I don’t know how that would work with openSSL except some heavy scripting?

Given with whats happening elsewhere in the world, how people “over there” think about climate change, i sometimes think we’ll just kill off humanity.

And thats okay. The world will keep spinning. A new apex species will arise. Hopefully they will spend their time and energy better then the current species. Maybe they even find ways to get off this planet before it’s beeing eaten by the sun. We certainly won’t.

Ahhh the darkness of beeing me :)

If you want everything on your local lan to have SSL, look into Step CA. Its not completely beginners friendly, but if you’re serious about selfhosting you will manage to set it up :) Caddy works with it also, and their examples are very helpful.

Less drama, i suppose.

Not sure why you’re downvoted as you are mostly correct.

I’m a linux user myself but i work for an msp so i manage corporate windows machines, and they mostly work just fine. But i must admit, when i take over a screen and i see the constant nagging to use a microsoft account, or onedrive, or copilot (granted, when you use Microsoft for corporate use you really have no choice but to use a microsoft account) It does make me glad i use Linux.

And our devices are almost always over $1000 so not exactly cheap machines either :)

Actually, i’m learning to Go to do just that. GPO’s are basicly just configuration management. And there’s Ansible, Chef, Puppet. These all work on Linux.

And why is that?
