Just a quick note, as previously noted, our SSL certificates were due to expire. Due to various headaches involving issues changing our DNS records, and my personal unavailability, we were unable to renew our certificates in time. Right now, soylentnews.org is running on a LetsEncrypt certificate that was issued after quite a bit of pain. We're still trying to fix the fundamental issues that prevented us from being issued a two year Gandi certificate. Currently, I'm unable to resolve this issue more in-depth, but I've granted access to TheMightyBuzzard to be able help handle the necessary issues that caused the downtime. I will try to get a full writeup of the situation, but for the time being, the main site is up. Secondary services remain down due to the same renewal issues.
Apologies for any inconvenience,
NCommander

Not especially but thanks for the link. They're all "no http challenges for wildcard certs" and I'm not automating something that fucks with our nameserver (too much potential for epic breakage), so I'll just be updating it every couple months by hand.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
