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

Brother, I feel your pain about SSL
https://darrencaldwellwebdesign.ca [darrencaldwellwebdesign.ca]
It broke all my webhooks, broke all my email functions.
And I still (sometimes) get those cert warnings like you just got.
When you get a warning like that usually it means that your 'chain of authority' is the problem.
The ssl certs need to be concatenated so it's got your cert, and the cert from the authority.

This was fixed with the new SSL certs. SSLLabs reports the server is sending the entire chain now.
Still always moving

AS a follow up to this, you MIGHT want to tune up your SSL setup: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=darrencaldwellwebdesign.ca [ssllabs.com]
It's getting a failing grade on ssllabs and has several issues :(
Still always moving
