Updated This Past Day

  1. Certificate Authority Let's Encrypt Has Almost Gone Down to Zero, Nearly Totally Extinct in Geminispace, the Few Capsules Still Using It Are Spam/Dead/Stagnant
    This represents another decrease for Let's Encrypt; the last decrease was last week
  2. Trying to Silence Techrights Was a Huge Mistake
    Peter Thiel attacked a publisher for asserting, correctly, that he was gay. Now everyone knows it.

  6. Gemini Links 07/09/2025: Advertising, Decentralized Archival, and Outsourcing to Bezos

  7. Not Much Left in News Cycles
    To be very clear, this does not describe "Linux" anything; it's true in just about every facet of news, except the paid-for fake "journalism" about "hey hi" (sites getting paid explicitly to maintain or rekindle hype)
  8. Throwing Away "Old" Computers (Mozilla and Other Climate Deniers)
    Mozilla is not leftist
  9. The UEFI 9/11 - Part VIII - Denial of Service and Selling Us WSL (Windows) Instead of "Risky" (Prone by Breakage by Microsoft) GNU/Linux
    Restricted Boot (so-called 'SecureBoot') does not improve security. It is nothing but trouble. It's meant to trouble non-Windows users. In dual-boot setups, SecureBoot is a recipe for disaster because Microsoft keeps erasing or tampering with the boot sector, to paraphrase an associate
  10. Slop is Extremely Rare in Geminispace, Slop Images Are Unheard Of (Despite Images Being Supported)
    As long as Geminispace grows in terms of domains it's safe to predict the protocol will still be used in 2029 and hence Geminispace will turn 10
