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.

Yes, it is possible. No, it's not likely. TheMightyBuzzard expressed misgivings about automagically updating DNS records. I must say I share, them, too. I see a couple places where some automation would come in handy, but I would still prefer to have a human in the loop... Just. In. Case.
Besides, you are talking to the QA guy for the site. I am positively gifted in making things go sidedays which is NOT something you want happening in a running system.
Do be aware that we have a total of 10 systems to keep in sync, as well.
So, I'm not saying never, but it will be a long while before we would go fully automated, and there are reasons for it.
Wit is intellect, dancing.
