Who setup DNSSEC by hand using API calls w/IONOS?

I also learned how to setup SMIMEA DNS records so my S/MIME email certificate can be independently validated.

Catherine O'Hara was the, albeit eccentric, mother figure we all wish we had. She got to show us a version of our world where homophobia did not exist in Schitts Creek. And for that I'm grateful. Thank you Catherine.

The thing that always gets me about lying isn’t that people do it - it’s that they’ll maintain it even when presented with proof. Like we’re all supposed to collectively ignore reality together. My brain doesn’t work that way and I don’t think it ever will.
