Nothing of value was lost when EV certificates disappeared.
even more secure with the 90 days policy.
Yes, if you do this manually it will work.
I meant certbot with nginx plugin and http-01 challenge.
You’re right, ssl.com offers this, too.
IMO, sticking to manual processes that are error-prone is a waste of money and not a sign of a honest business.
Yes, it can be easier. But not every DNS provider allows API access, so you might need to change the provider.
(good luck with that in many enterprise scenarios).
I’ve set it up fully automated with traefik and dns challenges.
Letsencrypt issues wildcard certificates. This is however more complicated to setup.
AFAIK, the only reason not to use Letsencrypt are when you are not able to automate the process to change the certificate.
As the paid certificates are valid for 12 month, you have to change them less often than a letsencrypt certificate.
At work, we pay something like 30-50€ for a certificate for a year. As changing certificates costs, it is more economical to buy a certificate.
But generally, it is best to use letsencrypt when you can automate the process (e.g. with nginx).
As for the question of trust: The process of issuing certificates is done in a way that the certificate authority never has access to your private key. You don’t trust the CA with anything (except your payment data maybe).
At least for me, this works out of the box.
Some requirements:
A simple cron job with youtube-dl works also fine.
Edit: But thanks for your suggestion! I’ll take a look
Edit 2: TubeArchivist looks nice, but way over my personal needs. Also, its performance requirements are quite high for my small server (4 Cores, 4 GB RAM). I’ll keep my small, scripted solution (yt-dl + store to nextcloud folders).
Is it possible to submit a channel and download all the videos (also new videos when they are released).
Based on the complexitiy of this setup, you need to be quite enthusiastic about your homelab.
Never use SMR drives for a RAID setup. But outside of RAID, they’re probably fine.
Ryzen 2000 and 3000 are still fairly recent and were announced 5-6 years ago.
Absolutely true from a technical perspective. But if you’re shopping for used devices, the price difference can be quite relevant. I’ve seen 7th gen PCs at ~100€, while 8th gen PCs are sold for littpe under 200€.
I bought such an old computer. 6th gen i3 Intel CPU, upgraded the memory to 16G and added more storage. For me, it works well.
However, I recommend checking the power usage of the system. Some older PCs might be very piwer hungry, which makes them expensive in the long run.
Edit: 6th gen and 7th gen Intel CPUs are not compatible with windows 11. The market is full of these old PCs and they are cheam. I personally would not buy anything older.
You’re right, Google released their vision in 2023, here is what it says regarding lifespan:
