Writing. Already finished my coffees. How is everyone? This place is quiet today.
Recovering from a nearly 2 hour power outage.
It's like the third world up there, but without the great Internet, lol.
LOL

3rd world would probably be nicer than a lot of the rural areas around here. Don't know about @Dashrender's part of the country.

We had a storm that was originally slated to hit us at 11AM hit us at 9 instead...

That's go pickup a generator from the rental company we support kind of time.
A couple weeks back, we had the local transformer blow and the power was out for a couple hours while we weren't home. Annoyed the neighbors with all my UPSs beeping.

I'm working from home today; the Dog decided at 6:00 this morning that she was going to get into a bunch of things that she shouldnt and ate some things not so good for her.. Called the Vet and was told to keep an eye on her.

This is a IT consulting Firm Local to me, and I was looking to send them my resume ...but it looks like their cert is invalid or self signed..
So that begs the question- is it normal to use a self signed cert on a public webpage?
- would i even continue to send them my resume ?
interesting.

- No, not since Let's Encrypt was publicly available.
- Also no, I would not.

Normal for incompetent noobs with zero clue how to hire basic IT support, yes.
A good sign, no. It means that they aren't qualified to HIRE IT well, let alone do it.

Contact them and express the opportunity for you to run the firm for them because clearly, they have no idea about the most basic stuff.

Now truly that would be a fun call to make.

No reason not to. Consider it part of the interview, the part that tells you where they sit in comparison to you.

I mean, would you want to work for a place that allows your landing page to be stopped because of a self-signed cert... ?

I just went off on Connectwise for calling our support line to try to get to someone to make sales. They wouldn't let support do their jobs. Clearly they don't take IT support seriously. What ass hats. I was non-too polite by the time that it got to me.

Now I'm curious to see how that conversation would go.

Hi, I was trying to get on your website to get more information about your company, and I notice that you're getting a certificate error for invalid certificate, That can't be right, youre an IT consulting firm so are you using a self signed cert? I can help you get your website certificate up to date for you, I'll bill you of course or we can talk about my employment at your firm.
I dont think that'd go over well.

Just looking at the state of pc components prices over here in the UK at the minute. CPU and RAM are a tad expensive at the minute...

Frankly, I think you should call and say something pretty close to that. you don't want to work there - so there's no risk here, but hearing how they respond could be enlightening.

Yup. Nothing to lose.
