Oh snap! That definitely sounds possible. Found more info about it.

tl;dr: Either the attack is ineffective against some browsers that check the certificate transparency logs (like Chrome), or the attack is visible and the CA will lose all its credibility (hopefully being removed from the browsers).

That would be just a nuisance until a new certificate is generated with another vendor (possibly not for free, but cheap enough).

It opens the possibility of a man-in-the-middle attack.

First let’s identify what parts of the world are free-er than the US (for a certificate).

I thought the convention was to call them “perv glasses”?

Apart from backups, a nice RAID 1 setup will keep the service running during a disk failure and it is easy to repair when it happens, just change the faulty disk and re-sync. Some also use those as backups, by changing a spare disk regularly and keeping it somewhere safe.

If you do backups, don’t forget to test them. You don’t want to find yourself trying to restore some files and find out that they’re corrupt or you’re missing the encryption key. I remember trying to restore a database only to discover that the supposed production backups where from the testing environment.

For the noise: get a fanless PC and SSD storage. As these are virtually silent, you can keep the server somewhere open so it doesn’t overheat.

Remove the laptop battery.

I used to have a similar setup and the disk didn’t last a year. All those power losses are going to break the disk eventually. Now I’m trying a cheap UPS.

TIL about systemd mounts, thanks!
