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.

There was a short let’s encrypt error just in that timeframe. Doesn’t mean that all cert updates fall in that window and “servers around the world”…

Also. I know my fair share on manual, semi-manual and thank lord automatic certification.

Oh. Your post was a rage bait? Well done.
