Let's Encrypt has also started offering 7 day certs for people who are confident that they spent more than 5 minutes to setup their cert management lol.
And who owns the root certificate?
Oh no, first lemmynsfw.com and now this
wait what happened to lemmynsfw
As posted at this new instance which appears to be trying to fill the void (heh) left by lemmyNSFW:
Xaeg/Yay was the owner of LemmyNSFW, and he had access to and paid for the domain, server, and everything else related to the site. He has been AWOL for about 6 months now, and suddenly this month, the server and the domain stopped being paid for. I have no access to the server to get the database.
Because of this LemmyNSFW as it was, and all the content on it, much to my dismay, seems to have died.
If they were in the US then they might be in π§ custody
Damn. Fuck ice. In general, not for potentially being related to this.
the only admin disappeared and the bills stopped getting paid, apparently
itβs no more more
I wouldn't know, never visited the place π€
Why donβt people just use Arch directly instead of using derivatives? Wellβ¦ I can understand using something like CachyOS as it has a different kernel with optimisations but Manjaro feels very irrelevant. If you just want Arch Linux with simple installation, just use the archinstall script. Regardless of which derivative you use, Arch based distros are going to be heavy maintenance than something like Bazzite, Mint or Ubuntu.

It's still technically automaton if your workflow depends on people poking you when things break.

It kind of makes it hard to trust this distro when they fuck up the most basic things so often and frequently.
Not just with their web hosting. I've had so many updates break random crap it's not even funny. Recently, a random update I did not approve suddenly had kwallet not working. A core piece of a DE they provide a bundled version for. I had to start kwalletd myself every time I wanted to use it.
It didn't start that way on the fresh install. I didn't do anything myself except reboot. Then suddenly my scripts that nab from the keystore are failing and asking me for passwords and what a mess.
That's just a more recent example. I remember having quite a few random issues on update in the past, though the only other one I explicitly remember is the DE suddenly failing to start. Like, at all. Luckily I had a recent timeshift backup saved elsewhere, restored, and ignored the update notifications for a long while...

Purple Arch has yet to fail me.
I made this for you.
I made this about you
But... I did make this. I used an online meme generator. π’
(Me too lmao)
But I mean the actual meme is pretty old one(so isbthe meme I made)
Iβm a simple man. I see endeavour OS, I like
I enjoyed my time with EOS but it had annoying bugs on my Thinkpad that I haven't had with CachyOS in a year+ of using it.

I had Manjaro break more often in the year I've used it that Arch in the past 5..
unauthorized end-to-end encryption.
Wow. How does this happen when letsencrypt exists? Or certbot?
More importantly.. How does this happen again?
There is a significant amount of infrastructure that does not support cert bot out there.
That being said they are using LE but looks like the renew failed.
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=manjaro.org&s=116.203.91.91&latest=
Iβm not aware of any web server thatβs still maintained and has wide adoption (so no web servers written by a teenager in Haskell to just fuck around and figure out how web servers work) that doesnβt support the ACME protocol. I highly doubt Manjaro doesnβt use something mainline like nginx.
The renew failing shouldβve sent someone a warning that manual intervention is required. This happens from time to time but the fact this went longer than a few minutes unfortunately says a lot about the project.

Well shit... It looks like they were on a good run too.
Nah the page is outdated, I saw on Reddit they also forgot about certs 77 days ago already
At this point is more of a tradition...
This is at least the third time, how do they even manage to fail that
At least the sixth time even. Four cases are documented here and another one was just three months ago. This last link points to reddit, but there a manjaro maintainer also explains why it keeps happening:
Politics within the project are the issue.
The fix for these issues have been build for about a year already. But those who have access to stuff like DNS and hosting are currently incapable of making any agreement on any topic preventing trivial fixes such as this from being implemented.
To be fair it's about to get even worse with the much smaller max validity periods.
