Preparing to Issue 200 Million Certificates in 24 Hours
On a normal day Let’s Encrypt issues nearly two million certificates. When we think about what essential infrastructure for the Internet needs to be prepared for though, we’re not thinking about normal days. We want to be prepared to respond as best we can to the most difficult situations that might arise. In some of the worst scenarios, we might want to re-issue all of our certificates in a 24 hour period in order to avoid widespread disruptions. That means being prepared to issue 200 mill…

Zum 2. Mal den Film 3 1/2 Stunden @… gesehen. Es geht um den Tag des Mauerbaus und einen Zug, der auf dem Weg in die DDR ist.
Der Plot ist gut und es gibt zahlreiche mikro-Plots, die alle noch viel besser erzählt sind.
Insgesamt ist der Film großartig, denn es stimmt alles. Tolle Schauspieler mit glaubhaften Rollen, die Tiefe haben. Wunderbare Bilder und Licht.

Die überzeugte Kommunistin Marlies (Susanne Bormann), Tochter eines hohen NVA-Offiziers (Uwe Kockisch), erkennt sofort, welche Auswirkungen dadurch auf ihre Ehe und die beiden Kinder (Kolja Rashed, Klara Metten) drohen.

New Ansible Data Validation Module(s) « ipSpace.net blog
A few months ago I described how you could use JSON Schema to validate your automation data models, host/group variable files, or even Ansible inventory file. I had to use a weird toolchain to get it done – either ansible-inventory to build a complete data model from various inventory sources, or yq to convert YAML to JSON… and just for the giggles jsonschema CLI command requires the JSON input to reside in a file, so you have to use a temporary file to get the job done.

Based on my endeavours yesterday I think I'll set up shop (for free) as a beta iso tester.
None of the iso's installed without a hitch y'day (if at all), on a Thinkpad X13 1st gen, with a Ryzen 4650U and 8Gb. I believe this is a 2021 model or so and we ain't talking rocketscience. Sorry, but Linux has come this far that i've immediately parked them. Let's see if I get back to them. i doubt it.
