from the certs-are-not-just-a-breath-mint dept.

With many thanks to The Mighty Buzzard riding shotgun and helping me through some misunderstandings, I updated the certificates (certs) for all of SoylentNews' domains. Our certs are now good through: Wednesday, June 12, 2019.

Everything seemed to go as expected. If you experience any issues, please mention them here, or pop onto our IRC channel using your favorite client or the web interface and speak up in the #dev or #Soylent channel.

    We should be pushing certificate lengths down to 3 month maximum at a minimum, and probably shorter than that.

    Three months is the default for Let's Encrypt certificates.

    And they want to go shorter than that, but given they issue something like a million certificates every day for free, they can't currently justify it.
