Making Bookmarklets

I'm feeling very clever. I've got this sweet line of javascript that replaces "cloud" with "butt". My mom would LOVE this, but she doesn't computer very well. I'm afraid to show her the Developer Console and have her type/paste this in. But she IS pretty good at bookmarks, she knows just how to click those!

A bookmark normally takes you to a new web page. A bookmarklet is a bookmark that runs javascript on the current page instead of taking you to a new page. To declare that it is a bookmarklet, the "location" it points to starts with javascript:.

Using Let’s Encrypt (public beta) with Vesta Control Panel

Install the Let’s Encrypt ACME Client

Follow the instructions at https://letsencrypt.readthedocs.org. Assuming you installed as root, the client will be now be located at /root/letsencrypt.

By default:

• The beta client will use the test infrastructure to issue a certificate, and thus won’t be trusted by browsers;
• The client uses a temporary web server to authenticate the host which will conflict with the existing web server(s);
