Some companies who make routers are much like some companies who make Android phones: any desire to support the product stops when your money reaches their bank.

I know that only a tenth of the population lives here, but I sometimes wish the internet paid a little more attention to the tilt of our planet.

I’ve just setup HTTPS and HTTP/2 for zerosleeps.com, thanks to Let’s Encrypt. Apart from the familiar padlock somewhere in your browser’s interface, nobody should notice any difference - any requests for http://zerosleeps.com/ and http://www.zerosleeps.com/ should be redirected to https://zerosleeps.com/.

I’ve been using Let’s Encrypt on some of my less-public servers pretty much since day 1 of their beta program, and it’s a game-changing service. Their toolchain is top-notch as well, and strikes a great balance between preserving existing configuration, and making it easy to see what is modified.

They’ve got some good stuff in the pipeline as well - wildcard certificates will be an awesome addition.

That link is to Transport for NSW’s version of a for-TV commercial which was originally created a few years ago for New Zealand television.

The Kiwi version runs for about half-a-second longer than this version does, but I prefer NSW’s cut. I think it hits harder. Removing the last few frames reinforces the concept of immediately knowing the outcome of a mistake, without having to wait for physics to do it’s thing.

Episode 102 of Reply All is brilliant. Do yourself a favour and set aside 45 minutes.
