Now, when I click "Normal" on the front page with the cigarettes, nothing happens. This is on my phone, using DuckDuckGo as a browser. If I visit britfa.gs/*/ in the URL bar, though, the site loads normally.
>>15991 If HTTPS had not been running there'd have been no error and most of us probably wouldn't have even noticed. The issue is that certificates need to be renewed and brian isn't clever enough to do this himself so purple needs to wipe his arse manually every time.
>>15991 I think browsers are responsible for that. It is considered weird and mental to want to visit an IP address in a browser, so you will often get an error just because no DNS resolution took place to get you there and this is deemed suspicious.
>>15992 >The issue is that certificates need to be renewed
Didn't this happen less than 6 months ago when the server had to be re-paid for? Do we need to start a go fund me to help pay for the site or have I completely misunderstood how the interweb works (It's a series of tubes, right?)?
>>15992 Okay that first bit obviously isn't true, because the IP address wouldn't be listed in our certificate. It'd be a different error to the outdated cert.
>>15993 There's no technical reason you can't get a certificate for an IP address, but it usually doesn't make practical sense.
>>15994 We're not talking about anything that costs money.
>>15994 Let's Encrypt deliberately uses short-lived certificates that need to be renewed periodically. If it happened 6 months ago, it means that our paramount leader had a successful renewal streak of 1. Which is by no means his worst performance.
>>15991 SSL is not transferable. An SSL certificate, once issued, is a (time limited) provable chain of trust, when you connect to any machine, assures you that someone signed off on that. One such certificate is usually "bound" to one domain name, so "www....foo.bar" and "foo.bar" might as well be worlds apart. Anyway, certs aren't the problem, those are free if you keep up the (automated!) maintenance these days. I don't know the hosting arrangements, so YMMV. Given previous comments I assume it's a bit more tricky than trivial. Cron and certbot have kept my little corner alive and safe, that's hat makes me assume this is more difficult.
