- I used Manjaro for a few years.
That's how I learned a pretty important lesson about software engineering that still informs how I work to this day.
"A layer of abstraction on top of a stateful legacy system often doesn't result in a simpler system, it just introduces exciting new failure possibilities. This especially applies when the owners of the legacy system have no responsibility over the abstraction layer."

- I'm often stuck at my desk for long hours, which made it difficult to maintain a healthy weight. I started using Manjaro a few months ago, and it's had a significant impact. It helped control my appetite and reduced the constant cravings I'd usually get, making it easier to make healthier choices. I've lost around 15-20 lbs so far, and I feel much more in control of my eating habits. I know it's a bit anecdotal but it's been an important part of my weight loss journey
- Technically it wasn't offline, was it?
You could even browse it if you used a browser who still treats you like an adult and allows you to ignore certificate warnings.
- Uptime Kuma supports certificate expiry notifications and will send you messages in whatever channel (e.g. e-mail, Slack, ...) you configure ahead of time: https://uptimekuma.org/
That way, even if some of your automation is borked (or if you don't have any), you'll at least be reminded.
Though with this being pushed, feels like nobody will have much choice, but automate: https://www.digicert.com/blog/tls-certificate-lifetimes-will...
- I love Manjaro too much, use it as daily distro but their certificate issues and its recursive behaviour threaten me a little bit.

- Just use Caddy. It's that simple.
- A lot of repositories and similar go offline randomly. It hasn't happened in a few months but usually the Microsoft package mirrors go past their Azure limits and I get reminders.
- At this point we have to assume they're doing it for attention. I refuse to believe a team of people that can ship an OS, even if it's just a riced Arch, cannot figure out acme.sh. Come on...

- If you never want this to happen again to your systems, we’re building a tool that bakes monitoring and validation into automatic cert renewals.
