Everything is easy, but there is only 24 hours in the day. I am not a 100% full time
sysadmin, this just a small part of what I do, and it disturbs me when
basic OS functions (like running an https web server) misbehave
and the best response is "let's hack selinux together". (other than watching
the football game between certbot and selinux packagers, the *other* football
game over the nfs-selinux bug is quite amusing, in the current round the selinux
people are objecting to granting "too many permissions, too many exceptions").

If you say "this guy wants the sun, the moon and the stars for free", tell me,
can I have a working https web server by paying money? ("yea, just hire the certbot
packager dude already").
