Hope everyone in the US had a good memorial weekend. Anyway, just a quick announcement, due to a system update late last week, the machine running our Tor hidden service was restarted. Unfortunately, the tor configuration file was not properly updated to account for the machine consolidation we did a few weeks ago. As a result, the tor entries for our IRC server were pointing to the wrong box, and since the tor daemon couldn't open a socket, it "helpfully" refused to start all together. This wasn't noticed until Saturday, and I didn't get the email until (late) Monday to get around to fixing it. Needless to say, its back up, and I apologize for the inconvenience.

    The problem is with the certificate. Either you'd get the soylentnews.org one and get a mismatched, or a self-signed *.onion one which causes the same problem. THere's no good solution to SSL over Tor.
