Site Services Restored

posted by NCommander on Sunday July 01 2018, @01:33AM   Printer-friendly

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

    So you had to use magic to fix it? :)

      Judging from his comment, I suspect the issue was corrected automagically.

      Never underestimate the utility of voodoo when fixing something technical.

          Makes perfect sense, really. I mean the currency is based entirely on magic, so you should be able to magic any of the economy up.

            Actually the bedrock of any 'economy' is faith. Magic = "I don't know"
