  • so you yourself is an example of how sales don’t make you spend money…

    personally i don’t really buy random games because they are on sale. like, i go through the list of games shown on the steam sale page and most of the time i will find nothing interesting. what usually happens is i would wishlist games i want to play, then wait until steam sales and see if i get a discount.




  • I have a pro-Valve bias because I do like them. But I still do want to make a fair argument and would like to be corrected if I fail to do so.

    So, yes, Valve’s refund policy in the past was bad, and yes, they were forced to change. But since then they have fixed their mistakes, and have arguably the most generous refund policy out there. Last time I bought digital content from Nintendo store I had to waive my refund rights.

    They could have limited refunds to Australia but they didn’t. This has to count for something, right? Valve is a for profit company in a capitalist system, and yes they have bad practices. But surely we can agree they are one of the better ones?



  • our org forbids plain http

    is redirecting http to https also out of the question? because let’s encrypt HTTP-01 accepts http -> https redirects:

    Our implementation of the HTTP-01 challenge follows redirects, up to 10 redirects deep. It only accepts redirects to “http:” or “https:”, and only to ports 80 or 443. It does not accept redirects to IP addresses. When redirected to an HTTPS URL, it does not validate certificates.




  • Well it should be as short as possible while still being practical. LE doesn’t have infinite server compute, renewal also takes some amount of time, plus if they make the validity too short people might stop using them (pretty evident judging from sentiment here) and move to other CAs and make what they do pointless.

    45 days are still plenty of time yet people are already complaining. Does make me worry.
