Site Issues [Updated]

posted by martyb on Sunday June 07 2015, @07:15PM   Printer-friendly

We are having some difficulties with the site at the moment. We are aware that there is an error being presented about our certificate being expired. We are working on it and appreciate your patience while we iron this out.

Interim measure #1: try to use the non-secure link to the site http://soylentnews.org
Interim measure #2: Accept the expired cert, but be sure to uncheck the 'Permanently store this exception' checkbox (this may not be available to you on very recent versions of Firefox).

If you have other suggestions on workarounds, please submit as a comment. Be certain we are doing all we can to get the site back up and running!

[Update] NCommander reports that: "New SSL certificate has been installed and the site no longer generates certificate errors. I'm continuing to do work to get performance for Firefox to be decent."

[Update 2]: A revised frontend proxy is nearly operational and ready to go into service which will resolve performance issues for firefox

    I couldn't know if the NSA were intercepting my traffic, or if you guys had sold out, so I refused the certificate. Can't be to careful. Speaking of which, I need to go into town this evening, and get some new tin foil hats . . .

    > new tin foil hats

    The new ones have been compromised by the NSA. Either build your own from materials of known provenance, or make do with the older model as long as you can.

      Always make, never purchase, consumers are blood bags for these vampires.

      Since you're looking for new tinfoil hats, why not try a new distro? You just pick the package(s) you want and basically roll your own. OSTH are the only way to be sure Alcoa hasn't sold you out.

    I need to do that too. Turns out the Illuminati changed all of my tin foil hats to aluminum!
