Fortunately, that’s not how it works.

The private key is created on your server, not by Let’s encrypt, and it’s never transferred to them. Nobody can decrypt your data.

Certbot (the official ACME client) is open source, but you’re also welcome to use any other client of your choosing, or make your own. The secrets never leave your server.

Unless the NSA has working powerful quantum computers that can break public key encryption, that they are successfully hiding from the public, they wouldn’t be able to break let’s encrypt certificates backed public key encryption, the math just doesn’t math. It would still take the most powerful super computers millions of years to break RSA 2048.

There’s a reason they want to make encryption illegal, instead of just letting us trust it like sheep. Thankfully, we don’t have to trust anyone, it’s all verifiable math.

That’s not “land ownership”, and ownerership of the land is not a prerequisite condition for stewardship.

You want something strictly relevant to all the messes we’re in today?

The Hundred Years' War on Palestine and The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine are must reads. Round them off with Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History

Then read Inventing Reality: The Politics of News Media and Manufacturing Consent (obligatory fuck pedo-associated and possibly pedo Chompsky).

Take a break from reality and read a quick fiction: The Trial.

If you’re not radicalized by anger at this point, you’re one of the baddies.

I don’t think I know you at all, I’m responding strictly to what you said…

Gen 1 was released in 2023 at $299. Before then, you could buy a Razer Anzu for $200, a Fauna for $299 if you wanted better “luxury” than the RayBan logo on the shitty meta glasses, or a JLab JBuds Frames for $50 if all you cared about are the things you said you cared about.

It’s okay to have been uninformed, it’s okay that you didn’t know there were other options. It’s not okay to gaslight everyone by pretending the meta glasses invented a solution for the use cases you listed…

I have Nothing headphones personally which I use with transparency mode, and it works perfectly fine for everything you said you needed your camera equipped glasses for… You wanted smart glasses, that’s alright to say, but it certainly isn’t only solution to your needs.

What other uses did you state that traditional bone conducting headphones can’t do? Or any of the many audio only fashion glasses?

You paid a premium to one of the worst corporations to have a feature you claim not to want?

How do you think Americans will react if USA drops a Nuke on Iran?

They’re okay with dropping the equivalent of dropping over 6 nukes on a concentration camp with over 50% child population, why wouldn’t they be okay with dropping a few on what they’ve been raised to believe is the big bad wolf?

Mornings in Jenin. Growing up as a child of refugees, it was difficult to fully grasp the horrors of Israeli violence against Palestinians, my parents shielded us from the worst they witnessed, only telling us of the good memories before they were forced to leave. This book helped shape who I am today, motivated me to learn the truth, and exposed me to a whole world of non colonial literature, both fiction and non. And while it is a story of fiction, it is based on the reality of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, ongoing for 78 years now.

Please oh literate one, won’t you share the works of fiction that changed YOUR immeasurably deep life?

I pirate my shit.

But they keep implying they are software engineers using JSON in a development capacity… I’d understand a system admin updating a config file to only be familiar with the syntax, but if you’re consuming JSON in your code you either understand the spec enough to implement it, or you didn’t write that code…

Something rubbed me wrong about not knowing what JSON is and insulting web developers as not real software engineers in the same breath.

How is it that you worked with JSON very often and don’t know that it stands for JavaScript Object Notation or what stringify does?
