schestowitz__[TR]Those of you who have subscribed to this blog's email notifications have previously received two other FOSS Patents emails today:Dec 27 06:15
schestowitz__[TR]The first one was about mixed news for Apple (Horacio Gutierrez leaving Spotify, California potentially supporting Epic against Apple's appeal of the UCL injunction). That one was indeed meant to go out to everyone. I'd just like to mention on this occasion that I fixed a couple of linguistic glitches and corrected a factual detail (California's motion for an extension of time would have been unnecessary only if California had already Dec 27 06:15
schestowitz__[TR]decided to support Apple, but also makes sense in case California will ultimately support neither party).Dec 27 06:15
schestowitz__[TR]A few hours later, follow.it (the service I use for those email notifications) also sent out a mid-November post on that anti-anti-steering injunction that had already been delivered to all subscribers at the time. I hadn't made any edit to that post since the day of its publication (i.e., about six weeks ago), so it's a mystery why follow.it delivered it to all subscribers again. I've alerted them to it and hope it won't happen with other Dec 27 06:15

schestowitz-TR2 maybe it rotatedDec 27 21:02
schestowitz-TR2I think ariadne set it to auto-renewDec 27 21:02
SomeH4x0rbut why?Dec 27 21:02
activelowno, i pinned down the techrights certificate and pubkey fingerprint, which letsencrypt doesn't changeDec 27 21:02
schestowitz-TR2activelow: does it say expiry date?Dec 27 21:02
SomeH4x0rwhy use evil Let's Encrypt?Dec 27 21:03
activelowdidn't verify schestowitz-TR2, only noticed the certificate changedDec 27 21:03
schestowitz-TR2it does change every 3 months iircDec 27 21:03
