Would this have been caught earlier if it were open source?

Sad- one service “took out” school systems across the US.

I said I'm sorry - what more do you want from me?

Sorry, I tripped over a cable. It's back now.

We have a phone located in a busy plant (very noisy) - we would like to have the plant phone "ring" over the paging system, as even with the phone turned all the way up, no one can hear it. Anyone know of a way to do this?

I've moved everything to the cloud.

The future of the CentOS Project is CentOS Stream, and over the next year we’ll be shifting focus from CentOS Linux, the rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), to CentOS Stream, which tracks just ahead of a current RHEL release. CentOS Linux 8, as a rebuild of RHEL 8, will end at the end of 2021. CentOS Stream continues after that date, serving as the upstream (development) branch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Reading the comments many are not happy...

But they wouldn't see it, right? Because you'd still have CloudFlare in front of it. So while it gets an A, what does that matter?

I'm not using CF as a reserve proxy or origin certificates.

Yes, I want various security headers set, etc.

Caddy gets an A out of the box on ssllabs.com

They are owned by them, so that's pretty sus.

Caddy v2 is now out. I just set it up, and I'm quite impressed.

I love how simple the configuration is when using a Cabbyfile:

cloud.domain.net {
reverse_proxy 192.168.20.103
}

sub.domain.com {
reverse_proxy 192.168.20.105
}

It's nice to only have 1 configuration file compared to the 30 some odd I had with nginx. Plus, it does HTTPS via Let's Encrypt automatically.

I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.
