#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.

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?

Meech had a big day, ate all his dinner, took his medicine like a brave boy, and is now having a well deserved nap.

Meech would like you to know that he's the saddest boy because nobody will let him go outside.

Meech never has quite figured out how furniture works. I think he's comfortable but I'm not really sure.

A ginger cat on the arm of a couch with one back leg hanging down and looking like he's about to slide off onto the floor, but he never will. He's quite secure and stable, it just looks awkward to me whenever he does this. But hey, he's happy and warm and if he wants to sit like this what the hell

I was going to mow the grass this morning, but apparently I need to wait until the boy is done with it.

I did a thing. Needs expansion obviously, but it's a start.

@mike for my edification, is it *necessary* for the politician(s) to come back out of the sea? Keeping them there seems like a win-win for everybody.

@mike Does the prime minister have to go willingly? Could people throw him into the sea?

@mike @aral This is sheer genius! Although I’m not Australian, as a resident of a sea-faring nation I think we should almost certainly try getting our prime minister to get into the sea!

I think my computer is warning me that a nearby banana has reached room temperature.

Meech seems to appreciate the work I've done clearing the driveway this week. He just sat out there chilling for ages in the sun this morning.

I thought Meech was looking particularly adorable this morning.

Meech has now set the tone for today and I hope I can live up to his example. #MastoCats

Meech has been on the couch in this spot since 6am when he came inside, very damp, and politely requested some breakfast.

He has no idea the sun is out right now and I don't intend to open the curtains to inform him.

I offered Meech some breakfast but he claims to be pretty happy where he is and does not wish to attend the kitchen at this time. #MastoCats #CatBellies

First photo of Meech with the new phone. Just look at this little man. This is him coming into my office to politely remind me that it is dinner time.

@mike It is a very good quality photo. I'm guessing the new phone is an iPhone?

Screenshotting this because oh my god it's so bad it's poetry.

Good morning everyone! I just woke up, what's happening -

...

OK, here's a picture of my cat.

Attn fedi, please post your best #CatBellies pics, thank you. This hashtag is shamefully unpopulated.

Here is Meech, sitting like a proper gentleman.

For no reason, here's a picture of Meech, sleeping in the garden yesterday. #MastoCats
