  • Rare Earth by Peter Ward is what you’re after here. I took an elective in college that effectively was reading a bunch of space science (and history, it was odd) and discussing. This one caught me off guard but was a decent breakdown of a possible answer to Fermi.

    I don’t necessarily agree with the supposition, mainly because it still comes from a place of specifically carbon-based life as the end goal. But they do lay out reasoning in an easy to understand way that was super neat to learn.
















  • Here’s how I generated the CA:

    # openssl genrsa -des3 -out my-ca.key 2048
    # openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key my-ca.key -sha256 -days 1825 -out my-ca.pem
    

    I’m sure I’ll receive flak for how I went about it, but importing that pem into the “install certificates” bit of the settings works like a charm.
