• Ask HN: My dev blog has 11k followers. I stopped writing it. What would you do?

  * Memory management + how to handle 4 common memory leaks: 421K / 77K The blog is at ~11K followers now, almost all developers. Back then every article ended with a plug for my startup, which was the actual reason I was writing them. My company got acquired, I kept the blog, and I took the plugs out. When the blog was active, I had a couple of people/companies ask to buy it and a few more wanting to advertise in... - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• Leopold Aschenbrenner Turned $100M into $45B Betting on AI – It Almost Blew Up [video]

  Luck disguised as genius aura, cult of the potential of "young geniuses", similar to Elizabeth Holmes. https://medium.com/@trendguardian/rigged-networks-1d5ad5c6f825. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• Gateway 2000's descent from to bad ads in the 90s (Part II)

  Gateway was located in Sioux City, IA before they moved to South Dakota in 1990: https://medium.com/@madmedic11671/behind-the-spots-the-story-of-gateway-computers-ce3263bcd07f Sioux City is near a tripoint where Iowa, South Dakota, and Nebraska located in the Missouri River floodplain so it is natural they would have operations in all three states at some point in its history.

• Upcoming Changes to Let's Encrypt Certificates

  Haven’t tried it myself, but this one looks interesting: https://certifytheweb.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• We just hit $1M ARR in 4 years. With zero funding

  Always encouraging to see that ideas can work out. I'm not quite managing the "let's build a team" aspect just yet but otherwise similar journey and outcome over a (slightly) longer period. I just wanted to not deal with certificates, now I deal with certificates all day every day lol: https://certifytheweb.com. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• TLS Certificate Lifetimes Will Officially Reduce to 47 Days

  Pretty sure this only refers to publicly trusted certs. What percentage of public certs are still being manually managed? I've been in the cert automation industry for 8 years (https://certifytheweb.com) and I do still hear of manual work going on, but the majority of stuff can be automated. For stuff that genuinely cannot be automated (are you sure you're sure) these become monthly maintenance tasks,... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• SSL certificate lifetimes are going down. Dates proposed. 45 days by 2027

  This is largely a solved problem. On Windows https://certifytheweb.com has provided automated certificate management for the best part of a decade and we're now branching out into large scale cross-platform tools, for those interested. I was surprised by a customer yesterday who was looking to migrate thousands of manually renewed 1 year certs, I had no idea people were still using 1 yr certs to such a... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Running One-man SaaS for 9 Years

  Thanks :) - yes 90% of users are using the free version. It's a desktop app you install on servers. The API elements it does have are a combination of cloudflare workers, a windows server (for customer portal), linux for community discourse. Peak API use so far is 350M requests per month (was about $46 on cloudflare) but have managed to curtail that a bit. https://certifytheweb.com. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
