  • Quite literally my first thought. Great, but I can’t issue certs against that.

    One of the major reasons I have a domain name is so that I can issue certs that just work against any and all devices. For resources on my network. Home or work, some thing.

    To folks recommending a private CA, that’s a quick way to some serious frustration. For some arguably good reasons. On some devices I could easily add a CA to, others are annoying or downright bullshit, and yet others are pretty much impossible. Then that last set that’s the most persnickety, guests, where it’d be downright rude!

    Being able to issue public certs is easily is great! I don’t use .local much because if it’s worth naming, it’s worth securing.




  • My issue with FF’s auto update is that the behavior is how painfully the auto-update works with multiple profiles.

    I’ll have one window (well three) open for some (measurable in days) time.

    1. FF updates silently, I haven’t restarted my browser so I haven’t noticed.
    2. I go to open a session in the second (or third profiles)
    3. FF decides now is a great time to apply the update, after all it just opened right?
    4. All the existing open browsing sessions in the other profiles get bricked. The tabs just stop responding, no browsing works, just dead in the water.

    I have to shut it (all?) down to get it working again.

    I don’t know how Chrome handles this so I cannot compare. TBH still worth using FF over that adware!
