Yes, monthly is too fast. I'm using a K8s operator for cert-manager which defaults to a month. I think I can patch the CSV with an annotation that will bump that out, but when the operator updates the CSV then I need to repatch it.
I was polling the community to see if there's something that is easy to use but I was not able to find in my searches. It seems like a common problem.
Part of my problem is that I chose to use a K8s operator for cert-manager which isn't easy to configure. Had I used a helm chart, i'd have bumped the root cert to 10 years and forgotten about it.
How do you manage the distribution of internal TLS network certificates? I'm using cert-manager to generate them, but the root self-signed certificate expires monthly which makes distribution to devices outside of K8s a challenge. It's a PITA to keep doing this for the tablet, laptop and phones. I can bump the root cert to a year, but I'm concerned that the date will sneak up on me. Are there any automated solutions?

I've started to train myself to put my phone in my pocket "upside down" with the charging port up. It collects much less pocket lint, but now I drop it more when I take it out and flip it around. I'm hoping that I get better at this soon.

OK, easy solution: don't open outlook.
Most of the time that I'm in the office, my laptop is closed anyways, you know, for collaboration.

I wouldn't doubt that. I just wanted to pretend for a moment that the thing they're taking from us would result in the one thing that they seem to fear the most.

With all the employees back in the office, they'll have plenty of time to hang around the water cooler and discuss all the ways to unionize. Leaving the company is great as an individual, it sends a message. Unionizing helps to restore the balance of power vs rights and is exactly what Amazon doesn't want. This (IMHO) is how you "F them hard". Additionally, it'd send a message to the other companies who want to flex on the people who make the company work.

Indent to find an article to back up what I remember and in 2020, a woman was held in contempt of court and jailed for refusing to provide a passcode. The case was later overturned.

Double check this in the state or country you're in. I recall something from a few years ago where the police could force you to give a swipe pattern and maybe pin since these items are not covered in the same way that a password is.

Cory wrote about this in his essay, "Unpersoned". I've been using gmail as a spam catcher for all the sleazy sites you need to register with, but didn't realize how I've made a trap for myself when, for example, my prescriptions need 2 factor authorization via my gmail. This is going to be a hard one to detangle.

I've done the same with businesses that stayed open during Covid lockdowns, especially restaurants. If they don't care about a global pandemic, they're probably not handling food properly, following proper cleaning protocols, etc.

I'm with you. Many of "them" want to get violent and are looking for a reason to do so. By throwing a punch, it provides justification for their violent actions. So many folks here indicate that you won't change somebody unless you fight them, but I've read and heard plenty of evidence to the contrary. One quick source is How One Man Convinced 200 Ku Klux Klan Members To Give Up Their Robes. I also heard an interview with a woman who grew up in a cult and how she learned how to "deprogram" people.
I like to think of it a lot like fishing. Once you get a fish on the hook, you can't just pull hard and bring 'em in. You need to set the hook and then reel them in slowly.

I'm with you generally. The whole boarding experience causes a tremendous amount of anxiety for me to the point that i'd rather drive for anywhere I can get to with a <16 hour drive.
MythBusters had an episode related to airplane boarding. If I remember right, the current scheme is the fastest, but it's due to the fact that everyone can't follow the rules.

This used to be common in "the olden days" in rural America. I remembered the school nurse would hand out the fluoride rinse to students who's families signed up for it. I remember thonking that they were all the rich kids who's families could afford the $5/year for their fancy oral hygiene. Well who's laughing now? I've got the most expensive teeth after all my fillings, crowns, root canals and dental surgeries!
Yeah, i'm leaving all the grammatical errors in there; it better illustrates my point.

I think the bottom line is that you need to meet people where they're at. I understand the part about audio issues and I feel like it's exasperated because of the low audio quality from mobile phones or earbuds. At work, I really have to work at hearing people who use airbuds, especially if they're male Indians.
Conversely, I will read a well-written email or text and to the thing that it's saying, then get a reply that I did it all wrong and realize that I completely misunderstood it. I read it again and then my original reply and can't figure out how I got it all wrong. If they tell me something, however, I'll remember it completely and accurately. Also, I have to write everything down in order to remember, but I never need to look at my notes. I must have some loose wires.

I rather like what the Japanese do, which is to mask up if you are sick, thereby preventing the spread to others. I would like to see statistics to know if it is effective. This could have the same net effect, but impact a smaller population.
Slightly tsngental, as a severe allergy sufferer, I appreciate how the pandemic somewhat normalized masking in public so I can just wear one without people asking me prying questions, assuming I'm a freak (I am, but don't assume it until you get to know me), or moving to a different seat on the bus when I sit down.

I think this is an old myth that keeps circulating. According to the Mayo Clinic, "In type 2 diabetes, there are primarily two problems. The pancreas does not produce enough insulin — a hormone that regulates the movement of sugar into the cells. And cells respond poorly to insulin and take in less sugar."
