Certificate changes and random winter thoughts

2021-01-18

We finally got some actual winter-weather. The lake is frozen and there

is snow that will stay on the ground for at least a few days at a time.

Me and a few friends were out ice-skating, and it was a really nice day

to do so.

In other news, I've been spending some time and money on upgrading my

computer setup. My monitor died on me, and I got two new ones and a arm

to hold them at the same time, so that they can be easily adjusted. The

difference is like night and day. My old monitor was something like 7

years old by now, so maybe it would have been time to upgrade soon

anyway, but it always pains me a bit to replace something that still

works.

I've also spent a little time on this gemini-server and generated a new

certificate so that I won't have to change it all the time (like with

the let's encrypt certs I've used before). Since the consensus in

geminispace seems to be that you use self-signed certs on account of the

TOFU-system that is used, it's a bit of a hassle to have to make

exceptions every three months when the LE-certs are due for renewal.

Hopefully this will make it a bit nicer to use this site from now on.
