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.

Let’s encrypt reported an incident yesterday. The issuing stopped working on their end. They were working the problem already.

Edit: pure speculation as the timing of the incident matches. Could also be a bodged update routine, or something else.

Oh my, that sounds bad. I wonder how many certs were up for renewal... thanks for sharing I didn't see this in the news.

Certbot renews the cert 2 weeks before expiry. I suspect either a broken cronjob or a missing webserver reload.
