Although it’s a great way to mindlessly waste time- I’m done with Social Media (yet again).

I haven’t been active for awhile, and it looks like for whatever reason, my account has been disabled. I don’t care. I’ve got a life to live, and at least several months of rehabilitation to go- myself, ma, and my home. Chloe could use more attention, too.

Want something? Drop me a note if you got ‘em.

So many people have misread the documentation regarding CAA that they’ve made a brokenness standardized (but highly undocumented).

A setting of 0 means that an issuer is allowed to issue certificates if it doesn’t understand the record it finds. A setting of 128 means that an issuer is NOT allowed to issue certificates if it doesn’t understand the record.

However, people have not paid attention to this, so a setting of ‘1’ also means that the issuer is to not issue records unless it’s explicitly understood.

Unless you DD a rebuilt image, the installer needs a bit more than 128MB- however, the OS itself manages to barely fit into 64MB.

It’s tight, but workable. It’ll work quite a bit better with swap (or RAM, really). I just did this to show that it is possible.

I also ran it with a manual upgrade from Wheezy on an OpenVZ container, and it worked swimmingly well. I wouldn’t suggest it, but it is possible.

This is Washingtons’ Mt. Rainier as seen from the isle seat in a small 727. Pretty cool with the cloud coverage, huh?
