As many of you are aware, SoylentNews uses Let's Encrypt certificates to protect the vast majority (all?) of our networking connections.

Under the watchful eyes of The Mighty Buzzard and SemperOSS I have updated our certs and deployed them across our servers and services. At this point, all seems to be working fine. That said, I have a well-earned reputation of being able to break nearly anything, so it would not entirely surprise me if you find something awry. If so, please let us know! You can comment on this story and/or jump over to the "#dev" channel on IRC and let us know there.

For completeness' sake, the updated certs were rolled out at 20190611_140630 UTC.

NOTE: Do be aware it takes time for updated DNS records to work their way across the internet, so if you do encounter a problem, try clearing your cache and trying again before assuming things are borked.

    That was deliberate, they wanted an excuse to force "upgrades" to install an NSA backdoor and enable more analytics options and cripple Adblock. Time to bail from that bitch before it becomes more unbearable, and it most certainly will. You'd think they'd have a little class since they're sucking from the Google teet.

      Checking...

      Yep, drawing the attention of every single dev in the entire goddamn world with any time to spare to look at your latest release for the cause of a defect is definetly the best way to slip spyware into a open source product unnoticed. Theory holds up perfectly.

        I'm still right about enabling analytics options (new options that are default-checked) and the crippling of Adblock.
