#sysadmin pro tip!

If you generate a lot of fresh Let's Encrypt certificates today, and don't enable auto-renewal, they will expire on December 25th, giving you a good excuse to leave your family dinner early.

@mike It could be an unexpected way to shorten your holiday dinner, but it's better to take care of automation in advance!

@mike 🤣 🙈
Wouldn't it be smarter to just pretend, that it happened? You can leave, but still can enjoy your holiday. 😉

@xela @mike Something still needs to ring your phone with dozens of alarms... ;-)

@ascherbaum oh, come on - there are ways to achieve that... 😈 @mike

@xela @ascherbaum @mike back in the day when we still had physical devices for alerts (kinda like pagers) I got to leave a lot of boring lessons by pushing the test button on said device. "Sorry, emergency. Back in a few days" and off I went.

Different technology nowadays but I still have the power of self-alert 🙃

@mike hey uh.. got anything like this for Thanksgiving? Asking for a friend...

@mike I'd have to spend more time explaining certificates and why you need them than I'd be able to avoid spending with family that way...

I have it croned out, though. So, I don't really know when they expire.

@mike I can't decide if that's evil or genius!

Let's say "both"! 😂

@mike And then have to explain to my family why I don't have monitoring that catches such things?
