SoylentNews is people

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

    Let's see ... the folks who run the site have regular jobs. While they aren't at work they volunteer some of their time to running the site. Some code, some test, some this, some that. But they all donate their time in order to keep the site running, as well as donating their time to upgrade the open source code for site.

    Ah, I think I just pinpointed why nothing gets really done here then in terms of changes.

      Your first visit and you think you know anything about this site? I will admit this: I've made multiple requests for a "Douche Nozzle" moderation tag and they've never implemented it. I guess that's proof you're right? Or perhaps it's why you're not modded as 'Douche Nozzle'.
