@Patrick

Yeah I had a bizarre warning as well

Yep, I manually went back to http for now.

BayArea says

It’s unfair to point out how great Q1-19 was without first pointing out that we had the worst Dec since the Great Depression...

All of which indicates that the stats are pretty much bogus in the short term. In the short term the noise in the system overwhelms the signal.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

No. They made shit.

Then it goes back to journalists being fucking stupid.

That is whack! Or I mean, that is NOT whack.

Thats some real art, look at the smile and body language .

Sorry, tried to renew the cert this morning, but ran into problems because my OS is no longer supported.

It's such a pain in the ass that I might just leave the site as http only.

Admittedly, Trump was traumatized the last time he showed up there.

Trucks holding cargo containers delivered by Serbian gangsters constantly backup to Trump's places and dump out bodies. Some are still alive, and are branded and handcuffed until they have had their orientation. The rest are used for composting the landscaping.

But come on AF, tell us what you really think of Trump.

You should at least run ads from the NSA and CIA and make some SpyBucks. Apparently some of their agents are going insane from stress disorder listening to plopping turds, singing in the shower, inane Valley Girl conversations, the crinkling of fast food containers, and belching, farting and screaming at sports channels.

"I went to Yale, and I didn't sign up to the intelligence agencies to spend my life and my photographic memory reviewing this shit!"

what if we all pitch in to pay for the cert? I would volunteer here to pay my share.

Can't your host provide you with a free one or use openssl?

Brian Stelter must have the lowest t-count of any person on CNN.

@Patrick - on a separate note, how does one change his password on this site?

@porkchopexpress To change your password you have to log out and click the "forgot password" link in the upper right.

You'll get an email with a link. When you click the link, you'll be logged in and your new password will be displayed.

Note that you cannot choose your own password. I know that a lot of people don't like that, but "it's for your own good" as they say.

The problem is that some people would use their banking password as their patrick.net password. Then if someone manages to hack this site, get in the database, and un-hash the passwords, those people who used their banking password would be fucked, and I'd be partly to blame.

The only way to prevent that for sure is for me to assign random passwords. Sorry for the difficulty, but I made the passwords pretty short, and you can always log in with the "forgot password" link as long as you can get at your email.

When they try to escape, the door handles inject them with roofies.

I really appreciate people's efforts to help. Seriously, it's nice and the kind of thing that keeps me doing this.

The current problem is that the Letsencrypt bot (which is free) insists on upgrading certain packages every time it runs (like libssl-dev libssl1.0.0 libffi-dev libffi5 openssl) but the apt-get mechanism for upgrading those just refuses to run because my OS is no longer supported. If I upgrade my OS, I risk blowing the whole thing up and being offline for days or even a week. I have learned through long and painful experience that the safest route by far is to never upgrade anything unless I have a specific known critical problem which can be fixed only by an upgrade.

But that got me thinking a number of dark thoughts:

1. The Letsencrypt bot demands to run as root on my server, letting them do whatever the fuck they want. This is super-bad for security, though it is ironically in the name of security. Makes me suspect that the whole Letsencrypt organization is a front for the NSA to get root on a bazillion web servers. It's definitely not outside the realm of possibility.

2. The forced OS upgrade shit also essentially turns over my site to yet another organization, Debian. They could also do whatever the fuck they want.

3. The identification provided by SSL is simply an affirmation that "yes, this site is known to the corporate globalist cabal and allowed by them, for now, as long as it's not really a threat to our masters."

So why should I trust two external organizations and become part of the globalist problem, just to get the little green lock icon? I really don't like being dependent on and subject to the questionable integrity of third parties. OK, my ISP necessarily has control over my server as well, but I'd really like to limit it to just that.

So currently, I'm studying ways to do encryption of at least the cookie such that even if it were stolen in transit it could not be used by anyone else. Hashing it with the origin IP might be sufficient.

Thing is, there is no built-in javascript hashing mechanism, so I'd have to send down some code to the browser to do the hashing, and that code could be altered in transit. It's unlikely, but could happen. Trying to think of ways around that.

Summary: I just don't want to be dependent on extra third parties like Letsencrypt and Debian, especially because they are likely infested with extremely intolerant Democrats who would be happy to squash a site like this.

Only the Left is Violent. These Great Americans were simply doing what GOD COMMANDS! Fine members of our well regulated militia

They are jailed for pointing guns at children, and threatening them. Sentencing makes sense.

Headline is misleading, which is what typical leftists like to do.

While sentencing makes total sense (perps got what they deserved), it is quite interesting that we have a white supremacist named Jose Torres. In a different situation MSM would be all over oppressed Hispanic Jose Torres

Well this exactly. A correct reading of the thread title makes on think the couple was sentenced to years in prison for being racist.

Standard Jazz prepostorus statement.

Now if the msm would just run individual articles on when black and brown people commit any acts of assault on innocent victims, we would have some truth. Probably not enough journalists to accomplish that.

For all you liberals:

If you are not making hay right now the fault lies with you and you alone. The opportunities are wide open as they have ever been. It’s a great time to be an American.

To be a fascist in America, you have to be on a website talking about how the presidential system is controlled by the Zionist Occupied Government,"

Sounds like Omar or Rashida Tlaib to me. But are they populists? Maybe to the Muslim community. Certainly they aren’t Trump supporters.

You fail because you refuse to see the truth.

This is on my phone so not sure it’s visible, but that’s a help wanted sign on the door at a gas station offering $13.50 an hour. Costa Mesa California.

Oh and screw any liars claiming the economy isnt on fire.

Again, this shit is from 2017. That all you got?

Hasn't there always been crazy people doing crazy things in the USA? Hasn't there always been whites that hate blacks and blacks that hate whites? Why is this news?

komputodo says

Why is this news?

It's not. It's an old story about a racist couple being stupid.

All I read here was the author fapping furiously.
So many words to say so little of any meaning.
Typical academic.

Tim Aurora says

I thought "Only the left is violent"

http://patrick.net/post/1317871/2018-08-02-only-the-left-is-violent

Not only, mostly.

After trying for a day to think of better ways to do encryption, I gave up and upgraded my OS and then was able to get a new certificate from Letsencrypt.

Trump has been the best thing for the US economy in our lifetimes.

Some things put allot into GDP, health care complex is up to 25%, sickest developed country on the planet, most expensive, but with a poor ranking, this is super great for GDP! Military is also a pretty big part of GDP. Government alone puts a trillion a year just into these two. Majority CFO's are calling for last quarter 2021 as earliest possible recession. U.S. is a big economy, it doesn't turn on a dime.

Not sure any modern economic model is one to brag up, they have a tendency to booms & busts, and run on mostly .. debt.

jazz_music says

It’s news to people who say all violence is done by the political left

Did they commit violence or just threat of violence?
