Gisteren 3 jaar terug: Ongeval in restaurant Alrijne Leiderdorp – Alrijne Ziekenhuis

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/02/01

Ongeveer 9 maanden na dit ongeval in 2019 kreeg ik diagnose endeldarmkanker die later ook nog bleek uitgezaaid. De behandelingen duurden ruim een jaar en daar ben ik nog steeds van aan het herstellen.

Some links on using and updating Let’s Encrypt certificates for internal servers

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/02/01

Sometimes it is easier to have current and public CA signed TLS certificates for internal servers than to setup and maintain an internal CA and register it on all affected browsers (including mobile phones).

One of my reasons to investigate this is that Chrome refuses to save credentials on servers that have no verifiable TLS certificate, see my post Some links on Chrome not prompting to save passwords (when Firefox and Safari do) about a week ago.
