Let's Encrypt has also started offering 7 day certs for people who are confident that they spent more than 5 minutes to setup their cert management lol.

Purple Arch has yet to fail me.
I made this for you.
I'm stealing that. Thanks.
Iβm a simple man. I see endeavour OS, I like
I enjoyed my time with EOS but it had annoying bugs on my Thinkpad that I haven't had with CachyOS in a year+ of using it.

It kind of makes it hard to trust this distro when they fuck up the most basic things so often and frequently.
Not just with their web hosting. I've had so many updates break random crap it's not even funny. Recently, a random update I did not approve suddenly had kwallet not working. A core piece of a DE they provide a bundled version for. I had to start kwalletd myself every time I wanted to use it.
It didn't start that way on the fresh install. I didn't do anything myself except reboot. Then suddenly my scripts that nab from the keystore are failing and asking me for passwords and what a mess.
That's just a more recent example. I remember having quite a few random issues on update in the past, though the only other one I explicitly remember is the DE suddenly failing to start. Like, at all. Luckily I had a recent timeshift backup saved elsewhere, restored, and ignored the update notifications for a long while...
Yeah Manjaro either needs to figure their shit out or everybody should stop using it.
The one thing manjaro had going for it was it was easy install arch. Now we have endeavor, garuda, cachy, and several other easy install arch. Including archinstall. Who all follow vanilla arch much closer, not introducing major breaking changes. There's literally no good reason to still use manjaro.
That said the servo aur is currently broken under catchy. Unable to update for the last couple of weeks. But that's been my only hiccup. And a negligible one at that.

At this point, I have to assume they're doing it on purpose.
Wow. How does this happen when letsencrypt exists? Or certbot?
More importantly.. How does this happen again?
There is a significant amount of infrastructure that does not support cert bot out there.
That being said they are using LE but looks like the renew failed.

There is a significant amount of infrastructure that does not support cert bot out there.
Example? I believe you, I just can't imagine what would preclude a public-facing server from using Caddy or certbot. Certainly not for a project maintaining an Arch-derivative distribution.

Uhm. βA significant amount of infrastructureβ? Uhhhm. Put a reverse proxy in front of your webserver? Problem solved? Or use log analyzers? With alerts?
There is literally no excuse.

I am trying to figure out how my little non interesting domains have kept certified for decades now without lapsing, while they can't seem to keep it together even after a failure.
Hard to imagine that they are so big that people simply forgot to get notices or manage the certs after it has happened so many times before.

Why donβt people just use Arch directly instead of using derivatives? Wellβ¦ I can understand using something like CachyOS as it has a different kernel with optimisations but Manjaro feels very irrelevant. If you just want Arch Linux with simple installation, just use the archinstall script. Regardless of which derivative you use, Arch based distros are going to be heavy maintenance than something like Bazzite, Mint or Ubuntu.
I used Manjaro for a few years before switching to Arch. Manjaro finds a nice sweespot for "Arch but also nice". Furthermore, Arch has gotten much more user friendly in the last 5 years or so. Back in late 2010s, Manjaro was adding a lot of value on top of Arch.
What really bothered me about Manjaro was the "forum cops" they employ, who are super aggressive to newcomers and unhelpful. It was not a nice experience to seek help. Say what you will about Arch people, they are at least helpful.
I finally switched to Arch when I got my new machine. I recommend the same.

At this point is more of a tradition...
Oh no, first lemmynsfw.com and now this
wait what happened to lemmynsfw
As posted at this new instance which appears to be trying to fill the void (heh) left by lemmyNSFW:
Xaeg/Yay was the owner of LemmyNSFW, and he had access to and paid for the domain, server, and everything else related to the site. He has been AWOL for about 6 months now, and suddenly this month, the server and the domain stopped being paid for. I have no access to the server to get the database.
Because of this LemmyNSFW as it was, and all the content on it, much to my dismay, seems to have died.
If they were in the US then they might be in π§ custody
Damn. Fuck ice. In general, not for potentially being related to this.
the only admin disappeared and the bills stopped getting paid, apparently

This is at least the third time, how do they even manage to fail that
At least the sixth time even. Four cases are documented here and another one was just three months ago. This last link points to reddit, but there a manjaro maintainer also explains why it keeps happening:
Politics within the project are the issue.
The fix for these issues have been build for about a year already. But those who have access to stuff like DNS and hosting are currently incapable of making any agreement on any topic preventing trivial fixes such as this from being implemented.
It's still technically automaton if your workflow depends on people poking you when things break.

To be fair it's about to get even worse with the much smaller max validity periods.
Systemd will auto renew an LE cert.
With how it's going, Will systemd also eventually be able to occasionally remind my Asian ass that I am a failure?
I thought that's what your parents are for?
Have a look at systemd timers π€£π€£
