That people will watch it instead of something else that is also for free, or doing something else that is free, is.

Why? It's one of the highest rated shows on TV and the cast get paid a lot of money to be in it. Whether you like it is irrelevant.

You might want to check your sources there. At least two of those shows are on regular TV stations.

billions still watch TV. Not quite dead yet

Granted, it does matter what your use case is, but most boxes do not have emacs on it so the need to know that is a heck of a lot smaller in many cases.

I got that, too. The extra layer was indeed amusing

manage servers, troubleshoot network connectivity issues, etc. etc.

I know some of the aspects of managing web servers with SSL can be somewhat involved, but a basic understanding of generating a csr, requesting a cert and installing that cert should be understood at a theoretical level and the practical execution should be fairly straight forward to work through.

It's OK Citizen, if you're not doing anything wrong you have no need to worry.
Move along.

Sorry, Fire TV, no Kindle in the name

I guess you need to find the right over the ear headphones.
I have some that are just perfect for mowing the lawn, or riding the bike.

They make me sick, literally. Give me on ear headphones any day
