i'm guessing this is the reason the board went AWOL earlier today... got it back up by reverting to plain ol' HTTP?

I'm logged in at work because I don't care about my work station security. When is this certificate merde gonna be resolved?

[Yada]

My assumption is it's now safe...

[Justin Tonation]

It's probably safe, of course, but anybody who hasn't allowed an exception for this site gets a big ugly warning page. That scares people off and they might reasonably assume that the site has been hacked.

Cert has been updated
It was safe the whole time (likely) but most browsers go a little hyperbolic when the cert expires (rightfully so, as it is surely a way people have been scammed in the past and you lose encryption)

[Cock Van Der Palm]

I blame the board Administrator. Who is that again?

I blame the board Administrator. Who is that again?

I had a pitchfork ready, but the admin had been dead for about a decade and Koz barely knows how to  ctrl-alt-delete

Someone else is responsible for cert renewal clearly, this happens in January every few years

[stevediaz]

It appears that the site's SSL certificate has expired, as indicated by the details you've provided. The certificate, issued by DigiCert, Inc., expired on January 8, 2024. This expiration might indeed be the cause of the site's temporary disruption earlier today.

Reverting to plain HTTP might be a temporary workaround to restore functionality, but keep in mind that it compromises the security of data transmitted between users and the site.

The comment reflects a mix of technical concern and a touch of humor, playfully suggesting that the NSA might now have access to the user's top 10 albums of the year due to the temporary lapse in secure communication.

In resolving the issue, renewing or obtaining a new SSL certificate and ensuring secure HTTPS communication would be the recommended course of action to maintain both functionality and user data security. You can check thishttps://forum.930.com/index.php?board=1.0

Whoa… the man behind the curtain steps out

Hey Steve come on in the pool and enjoy

We talk a big game, but most of us are softies who would take a (nerf) bullet for the others

There is an awful lot of ribing, but some smart and interesting folks here

Edit: I read this as Steve being an IMP sys admin…not sure if I made the correct identification

[sweetcell]

if stevediaz isn't a bot, he sure writes like one.

the IM system we have at work has a built-in chatbot that writes the same type of summaries, they read exactly like stevediaz's post above.

[Cock Van Der Palm]

I like stevediaz.  Stevediaz is now my friend. I only hope he isn't real.

[nkotb]

yeah, he's cool

Steve Diaz is a strong contender for Rookie of the Year awards. He's coming out of the gate strong.

We'll see what he does with the integers thread.
