I use certbot to maintain valid certificates for my website, but there are more use cases for certificates than just https binding--and not all of them lend themselves to LetsEncrypt provisioning. The openssl CLI is definitely not simple, but in my experience it has often been the best available tool for various use cases.
Your rough solutions require a state that's willing to facilitate them, rather than only appease the interests of investors and consumption-centric corporations. So it struck me as a little incoherent when in the same breath you decry socialism, Marxism and communism--needing only to point at the CCP for rationale. What -ism would you prefer?
> Remote might work to make a decent product, but I don't think you can build something great.
This was the most egregious part of this post, for the examples you outline. But I also take issue with the framing that remote workers are remote because they have an issue with coming into the office. As a remote employee of and on both before and after the pandemic, I've never had a problem with being in an office, and fully enjoy quarterly visits for a week.
Working from home, I put in my regular 40 hours, and then another 10-20 after-hours, depending on the week/deadlines/insomnia. But outside of that time, my family is not in a tech city. If I were a bachelor with no children this fact wouldn't matter as much. But as it is, when I go afk and back into my life, I want to be physically planted _where my life is_. It is incredibly uncomplicated.
I'm on the DevOps/SRE side, but from my experience moving close to my wife's family (on her dad's side) has been wonderful. Though there aren't phenomenal prospects for onsight jobs in this area, I've been working remote with decent pay considering the cost of living in the area. Having grandparents for the kids to visit, not to mention cousins to play with, is far more rewarding to me than the ideal job. of course there are multiple factors, such as Do you like your spouse's family? Or do you think your family would be more or less beneficial for the kids/you/your spouse?
in short, my family isn't yours. But giving up the opportunity provided by popular cities was good for me in the end.
I am also unsure how buildx works, however I do know that the official docker build-and-push action is not compatible with podman (despite the podman-docker pkg), solely because it uses buildx. As well, compared to buildah builds, building with buildx is much faster--at least with default flags for buildah-build-and-push vs docker-build-and-push. I can say that buildx has an additional cache that must be cleared overtime, which might be related to the build speed difference.
There's two I use. Nothing fancy like collecting and sorting results
from multiple engines. Just a bash sequence.
alias se1="se1.com"
alias se2="se2.com"
www-browser se1 $1; www-browser se2 $1 ...
Arrange them in roughly the order best to worse. If a result isn't
satisfactory I hit q (exit for my choice of browser) and it falls
through to the next search engine.
The other is surf-raw (actually written by everyone's favourite
political prisoner, Mr. Assange) You can change the "elvi" to be what
you want, but imho it doesn't really offer much extra because you still
need to remember the aliases you gave each search engine. A sequence
in an alias file hides that from you so I just type
$ search "keywords about thing"
Of course it falls over when different search engines parse the
urlstring in different ways.
To your first point, I think the cryptocurrenc[y|ies] that get issuance and control from a central authority right will in the end come out the most successful, as control of issuance lends itself to enabling modern economic levers any state may want to pull--for various reasons.
Of course there's an argument to be made that cryptocurrencies as we now know them will only ever have intended use as a secondary currency. In which case, fair enough.
