The voluntary tech guy. Like Batman – but fighting downtime rather than crime.
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably spent the last day of your life despairing as me and my colleague have during the last 24 hours. The problem definition is a seemingly simple one: we have some resource on AWS (in our case, an ALB) to which we want to apply an SSL/TLS certificate. Rather than […]

At the very start of this series I said we’d answer three questions: What actually is the Bible itself (the “canon of scripture”)? Where does it come from? How is it in English?
