Subject: Re: Let's Encrypt certificates
Oh, my. That was intended for Nathan only. (Thanks, Evolution!)

I don't mind Mike's silliness. It encourages me to post questions
about e.g. why Google Play Store will not update while OpenVPN is up...
were I actually to take the time to put together all the ancillary
documentation, like my network topology.... oy.

I wonder where THIS email will go.

Maybe we can talk about Stross's Vile Offspring and how to avoid being
left behind. Maybe I need to assume corporeality and hit the
stammtisch... mumble.
