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

    I didn't even consider that possibility. Right now, I'm trying to put fires out, not start new ones, but if you post a good HOWTO guide, I'll look at it after the site is no longer on fire.

    (the new frontend just went into service, and with it, our SSLLabs score just went to A and 100/100 on Calomel validation \o/)
