SoylentNews is people

from the say-that-five-times-fast dept.

I just finished updating the certs for SoylentNews.

We get our certs through Let's Encrypt. Yes, we could automate the whole process, but it has been discussed and decided that given our... unique configuration, it is best to have a human in the loop than to let a script somehow run amok and then try to restore things when who-all-knows-what got deployed and things have gone sideways.

I have checked our web sites for production, dev, and staff as well as sending and retrieving e-mail; all seemed to be okay.

More than anything else, this is a check on us to see if we (well, me, actually) overlooked anything. If you do detect any issues, please post a comment to this story.

(Hat tip to The Mighty Buzzard for standing by in case I bollixed up something.)

    If you're not going to automate, why not spend $14 and only do it every 2 years instead of every 90 days?

    Is there a reputable CA that sells two year site certs with SANs for $14?
