  • You are completely right.

    I do also get why the run these commands is a thing, because it’s usually faster and also is distro / desktop environment agnostic.

    Why would someone want to write separate guides for Gnome, KDE, Cinnamon etc. when one or two commands will suffice? But on the flip side, my family and friends will see a scary looking command and immediately be put off.

    I feel it’s getting a lot better since more apps are just in the browser or electron apps, there’s way way less to actually configure for most end users. The type of people put off by commands generally won’t go digging through the settings anyway.

    I do wish there were a proper GUI for configuring GRUB though. Any that I’ve ever found seemed to fall out of date very quickly.









  • It would be six days at max, assuming they managed to steal the certificate immediately after it was issued, otherwise it’s gonna be even less.

    Having the certificate doesn’t automatically mean you can change the site, if you have control of the site hosting you likely wouldn’t need to steal the cert anyway.

    Stealing the certificate would allow you to run a man in the middle type attack but that’s inevitably going to be very limited in scope. The shorter time limit on the cert reduces that scope even further, which is great.

    Since most Let’s Encrypt certs will have an automated renewal process this doesn’t even really change the overhead of setup so I think this move makes a lot of sense.

    There are other things certificates can be used for as well of course but I’m just going off your example.

    Yeah same, I remember initially feeling the Outlook integration was extremely clunky, for example, but there’s a big simplicity to being able to grab a recurring meeting link and then just attach it to any meeting regardless of whether it’s rescheduled or has an unusual pattern.

    Teams is much more annoying in this regard since it pretty much requires calendar integration for the meeting to work. Trying to set up any new meeting regenerates the meeting link, and it’s maddening. Like just let these two things not be connected if I want.
