6-Day and IP Address Certificates Are Generally Available

Re: 6-Day and IP Address Certificates Are Generally Available
#122Why 6 day and not 8? - 8 is a lucky number and a power of 2 - 8 lets me refresh weekly and have a fixed day of the week to check whether there was some API 429 timeout - 6 is the value of every digit in the number of the beast - I just don't like 6!
It's actually 6 and 2/3rds! I'm trying to figure out a rationale for 160 hours and similarly coming up empty, if anyone knows I'd be interested. 200 would be a nice round number that gets you to 8 1/3 days, so it comes with the benefits of weekly rotation.
It's less than 7 exactly so you cannot set it on a weekly rotation

Worry not, cause it's not 6 days (144 hours), it is 6-ish days: 160 hours
And 160 is the sum of the first 11 primes, as well as the sum of the cubes of the first three primes!

#124IP addresses must be accessible from the internet, so still no way to support TLS for LAN devices without manual setup or angering security researchers.
I recently migrated to a wildcard (*.home.example.com) certificate for all my home network. Works okay for many parts. However requires a public DNS server where TXT records can be set via API (lego supports a few DNS providers out of the box, see https://go-acme.github.io/lego/dns/ )

#126This comment used to say that was in staging only. (Nevermind, i was confused following the links from original article)
That is a very old article that seems to be outdated now.

#127Honestly not a big fan of IP address certs in the context of dynamic IP address generation

Because it allows to you to work for six days, and rest on the seventh. Like God did.
I don't think He worked after the 6th day. Went on doing other pet projects

² By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work. ³ Then the on-call tech, Lucifer, the Son of Dawn, was awoken at midnight because God did not renew the heavens' and the earths' HTTPS certificate. ⁴ Thusly Lucifer drafted his resignation in a great fury.

> 8 lets me refresh weekly and have a fixed day of the week to check whether there was some API 429 timeout There’s your answer. 6 days means on a long enough enough timeframe the load will end up evenly distributed across a week. 8 days would result in things getting hammered on specific days of the week.

people will put */5 in cron and result will be same, because that's obvious, easy and nice number.
