Why wouldnât they work here?
Sure, we donât provide them (and I see no reason to change that right now), but ultimately they are just the same SSL certificates from Letâs Encrypt youâre used to, but with a shorter lifetime.

My (ISP-Issued) router has a page set-up to respond to domains that are either non-existent (points to nowhere), or are malicious. The certificate on my router is self-signed, which Chrome is fine with but FireFox isnât. I decided to explore the cert, and was mind-blown.
The self-signed cert will last longer than all of us, and all future generations.

Haha Im pretty sure self signed certs just last as long as you want them to.
That is amusingly long though. I doubt there will still be humans, or internet by that point

langtonâs ant simulator, my newest website, go check it out
Itâs done on purpose. Not the most secure thing in the world, but your ISP does not want to create a system that renews certificates on a local device, and certainly does not want to make you do it.

hmmm i wonder why they dont just change the not after word to after and set the year to 1000
Hackers are given their life to try and crack a self-signed cert! Someoneâs gonna break through, and I canât cycle certificates.
I know, my ISP has been lazy since they took over an old ISP. You would think my ISP would provide installation services, but only if they have to install cable wire. Everything else is done by the user.
ISPâs donât expect people to have the knowledge to do so. But dang it, Iâd be willing to learn all about it to make my network secure with at least 90-day certs!
It might be 2 pages, but once a cert is cracked, itâs a whole network.
I bet this already happened behind closed doors.

What tool did you use to check this SSL? Iâm honestly curious.

Not sure on how accurate it is, but it seems to have worked for my own sites

Itâs also a local page (or it should be), so they need access to your network first. Youâve got slightly bigger problems than a certificate issue then.

Donât⌠Vermin media (sorry virgin media) âaccidentallyâ left a maintenance port open on my router after a software update resulting in my router being accessed remotely⌠Thank goodness I have better internal security than virgins external security

Hopefully nobody but your ISP (and you, if you pursued it) accessed the port.
I agree!!
I donât plan on doing it. Based on clues here on the forum, were in different countries. Besides, I donât need whatever you have. I am not a hacker.

There is something about the linear predictive coding used for those old texas instruments TMS5220 speech synthesizer chips that I really love
Its the same encoding used for those Speak-n-Spell learning toys
Iâm thinking of attempting to make a real time version that takes the microphone/audio input and outputs this stuff 
I just love that sound

Now I know the chips that were responsible for making great sound memories!
That would be an amazing tool!
Brings back good memories for me, the sound from a

With games like
you can split the file in 2 (considering file size is, about 18MB), and when the server wants the file you can have it call a PHP file that binds the two together again and provides the output. Iâve done this twice, and despite reduced loading speed, it works fine.
I had to split a WebGL Wasm file in 2, create a php that re-connects them and serves the output, and modify the index.html file to load the php instead of the Wasm.
I was going to post this in the topic where the quotes originated, but I decided it was too irrelevant.
