Hi all, it looks like discuss.online’s automatic SSL juju didn’t work right and the existing cert expired just a bit ago:

$ curl -vI https://discuss.online/
...
* Server certificate:
*   subject: CN=discuss.online
*   start date: Feb  8 06:59:01 2026 GMT
*   expire date: May  9 06:59:00 2026 GMT
*   issuer: C=US; O=Let's Encrypt; CN=E8

I’m sure it’ll get fixed, but … this is where the Far Side comics are hosted. 911 yall break glass beep the pagers we’ve got a code 2319 people. Save the cows.

Update awhile later: SSL cert was replaced. The cows have tools, which leads to engineering degrees and rapid repairs.

    definitely with a 99.9999999% score :)

    If it was really an let’s encrypt issue, lot of people would have complained. Servers all around the world would have returned errors. I would have a lot of issues but nothing happened, certificates were issued normally.

    If they are issuing certificate with let’s encrypt manually, it’s their fault as let’s encrypt ecosystem is made to be automatic in the first place.

    SSL deployment were highly a painful process before let’s encrypt but now, it’s so easy. i love it.
