Oops, you're right. Fixed.

I have been asked the same by SDF bboarders, but I honestly cannot given an answer (yet)—I need to check out Risus (and other systems).
> And is this setting agnostic?
Yeah, there are also different skill sets. I have added magic because fantasy themes seems to be the most popular settings, but I plan to add different ideas for modern-day or Sci-Fi scenarios, such as rules for hacking systems, space maneuvering and space ship battles, etc.
I think that the achievement of some home-made appliance that was actually hard to get money-wise (and probably build) is one aspect of what makes those memories fond.
But I have another explanation, which, I think, explains much of it. Being a part of the BBS network meant one had overcome a bit of a hurdle and reached a small community that actually cared about the system and the sense of the community itself. Those BBS islands had their own rules, implicitly or explicitly spelled out, they were full with lots of creativity (cf. the ASCII/RIP art), and while the occasional troll or rude idiot can be found anywhere, posting something to a BBS usually meant you got some response back. It was a smaller circle (at least, it felt that way). You could actually make friends through the BBS network. Today, when I try to post something on HN, I cannot even find it immediately after posting, let alone hope that other people find my submission. :)
This repository contains two simple Perl5 scripts that:
1. Check for certificates that are about to expire, and notify the owner,
2. automatically renew a local certificate if it is about to expire.
The scripts work with the Dogtag PKI (http://pki.fedoraproject.org/). Their raîson d'être lies in the necessity of many companies to have their own PKI, which then also is used to identify internal servers (instead of, for example, Let's Encrypt). However, there is not automatic certificate renewal for those server certificates (as the ACME protocol clients provide, for example), even though a certificate may be automatically renewed through the corresponding certificate profile. Additionally, there is no easy way to notify users (not servers!) that their certificate is about to expire and they need to renew it (if they can and may do so).
I am not a web development guy, so this question might seem ridiculous: To me, it always seems that there are a lot of hazards in any web development project, security-wise: A number of attacks, be it injections, XSS, etc. When seeing a new web development framework, I always ask myself: Are the basic security concerns known today addressed? How can I make sure that choosing cool web framework in language X doesn't lead me to an unsafe webapp? Perhaps somebody with more knowledge in web development could chime in here and help me; I would really appreciate that.
For most of my life, if I wanted to be productive, I aimed for 10h of sleep. Yes, really, ten hours. There is nothing like a good amount of sleep to make you productive. If its about achieving a certain goal, without pouring a specificed amount of hours into it every day, it is the best solution to let your brain refresh every night as much as it can. I don't hold any self-optimization approaches in high esteem; I found that, indeed, nothing helps as much as an healthy amount of sleep. This is not only important for my brain, but also for my stomach, and, especially, my eyes, I have found.
When "working a specified amount of hours every day at a minimum" is the modus operandi, I tend to make sure I get at least 8 hours of sleep at night.
Recreational days are strictly exempt from this policy. If my intellectual output does not matter, e.g., during holidays, I do not care whether I sleep 7 or 12 hours, then I strictly care about my well-feeling only. This might indeed involve vast amounts of cheese, red wine, and whisky. ;-)
If you want to cobble something together, an old PC running Bacula and USB drives might even do the trick. Together with VChanger, you have can have a full backup plan in effect without much investment. Just remember to rotate the USB drives and store at least one of the full backups offsite (e.g., in a steel casette in the basement).
From there you can add cloud storage as another pool.
Just never forget to save your catalog, too. Full backups are always usable, even without a fully set up Bacula installation, but incremental/differential backups need a catalog.
Oops, you're right. Fixed.
