🔒 SSL/TLS certificates are moving to 200-day validity (from March 15, 2026).
The CA/Browser Forum (the body that defines SSL/TLS rules for all CAs and browsers) approved a roadmap to shorten how long certificates are valid.

Timeline
• Until March 15, 2026 → max validity ≈ 398 days (today’s standard)
• From March 15, 2026 → max validity → ~200 days
• March 2027 → 100 days
• March 2029 → 47 days

💵Does this mean you would need to pay more?
No.

•Free CAs (like Let’s Encrypt) remain free.
•Paid CAs still sell subscriptions.
•The pricing model usually stays subscription-based, not per certificate issuance.
•The change only affects how often you reissue, not whether you must pay.

✅ Best move: automate renewals with ACME (cPanel, Plesk, Kubernetes/cert-manager, etc.) to avoid expired certs and downtime.

Make OpenClaw safer by isolating it.
🎟 Bonus: 50% OFF recurring with code CLAW (only 10 Mac minis available).

The most expensive mistake with AI agents is running them right next to your sensitive stuff: files, tokens, passwords, email access, browser sessions, messengers.
OpenClaw isn’t “just another app”. It’s an agent that takes actions. And if you mess up permissions or integrations, the consequences can get… uncomfortably real.

The right way to do it
Run OpenClaw in a dedicated environment.

That’s why we at AlexHost put together a step-by-step guide on installing OpenClaw on a Mac mini, so you can start safely:
✅Isolation = lower risk of leaks
✅Separate keys and access
✅Always-on
✅Easier to control

Today the world celebrates open data - and we marked it with something real.

AlexHost is providing server infrastructure for ACUHIT 2026, a healthcare hackathon by Acıbadem University.

that gets out of the way.

🌟 CloudFest 2026 - back home.
The numbers: 10,000+ attendees, 300+ exhibitors, 250+ speakers, 80

countries. Biggest one yet.
5 tracks running in parallel: AI infrastructure, cybersecurity, data sovereignty, corporate IT, the future of hosting. The hallways were just as busy as the sessions.

Before the main event, 101 people from 20 countries ran a 3-day hackathon. 2,500+ hours of open-source code. Because this community doesn't wait for permission to build things.

We had a lot of conversations this week. About AI hitting production. About security getting serious. About what European cloud sovereignty actually means in practice.
Came back with more than we expected.

Thank you to everyone who talked to us - it was worth every hour!🤝

📊 Picking a Linux distro for algo trading? Most guides get this wrong.

They compare desktop experience, package managers, community size. None of that matters when your system is ingesting market data 24/7.

😲What actually matters:

🔒 Stability over novelty — LTS distros reduce operational risk. Rolling releases are great for research, dangerous for prod.

⚡ Tail latency, not average latency — slow wakeups, NIC interrupts on busy cores, CPU frequency scaling at the wrong moment will hurt you more than any benchmark suggests.

📦 Reproducible deployments — if you cant reliably rebuild dev → staging → prod, youll eventually ship a works on my machine outage.

🌐 Networking stack quality — hardware timestamping, DPDK, AF_XDP, Intel/Mellanox NIC support. Kernel and driver quality matters more than your desktop environment.

The honest answer: the distro matters less than your tuning and deployment discipline. But choosing wrong adds friction everywhere.
