re: tuta

OK so the accounting tricks are nothing new but… maybe this is the first S-1 filing which repeatedly touts “catastrophic or existential risks to humanity” in its “Risk factors” section?

they were/are a shittier-than-average CA that got famously hacked in 2011 and less famously other times; later they bizarrely tried to trademark the name “Lets Encrypt” (after the real Lets Encrypt already existed). Since 2022 they’re called “Xcitium” and “Sectigo”.

There are two problems:

1. the reddit frontend (redlib) you’re using is getting rate-limited by reddit. the page which it is trying and failing to parse as JSON contains HTML saying “Reddit rate limit exceeded. Try refreshing in a few seconds.Rate limit will reset in: 489”. So, it might work sometimes eventually but probably not for long. You should find another (less popular) instance to use instead.
2. the redlib backend is sending this error as HTML even though the url says raw_json=1, which is why you can’t see the actual error.

$ systemd-analyze calendar tomorrow
Failed to parse calendar specification 'tomorrow': Invalid argument
Hint: this expression is a valid timestamp. Use 'systemd-analyze timestamp "tomorrow"' instead?
$ systemd-analyze timestamp tuesday
Failed to parse "tuesday": Invalid argument
Hint: this expression is a valid calendar specification. Use 'systemd-analyze calendar "tuesday"' instead?

(It checks out.)

Surprisingly its calendar specification parser actually allows for 31 days in every month:

$ TZ=UTC systemd-analyze calendar '02-29' && echo OK || echo not OK
  Original form: 02-29
Normalized form: *-02-29 00:00:00
    Next elapse: Tue 2028-02-29 00:00:00 UTC
       From now: 3 years 4 months left
OK
$ TZ=UTC systemd-analyze calendar '02-30' && echo OK || echo not OK
  Original form: 02-30
Normalized form: *-02-30 00:00:00
    Next elapse: never           
OK
$ TZ=UTC systemd-analyze calendar '02-31' && echo OK || echo not OK
  Original form: 02-31
Normalized form: *-02-31 00:00:00
    Next elapse: never           
OK
$ TZ=UTC systemd-analyze calendar '02-32' && echo OK || echo not OK
Failed to parse calendar specification '02-32': Invalid argument
