SoylentNews is people
SoylentNews
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.

Yes, that is a *very* nice thing to see. We had a big push last year, IIRC, to make our funding goal. We have a few more weeks to go, so I suspect some folk will notice their subscriptions from the last time are running out and will renew them.
That said, we run a very lean organization (hence our using Let's Encrypt certs), so we are fortunate that we are not beholden to large donor(s) to "keep the lights on."
There will be more details when we wind up the funding period, but the largest subscription so far this year was $200 and we had 2 of those. We also have a few folk who have set up a recurring payment with Paypal for $4 or $5 per month.
SoylentNews really *is* the product of the community!
