    Like, when you… “get” the certificate… Doesn’t it say… “on it” exactly which date it expires? So maybe set a thing in your calendar or an alarm on your phone or some shit? How hard can this be?

      LetsEncrypt also gives you a month to update certificate, you don’t even have to do it yourself, just run a script once a week in cron. That’s such a level of incompetence I wonder why anyone will trust them with a distro when they can’t even do such a simple task.

        yes, but the people who want to implement that are held back and sabotaged by the guy who owns the shit. this is not about incompetence.

      You could proactively take care of it with a reminder on the calendar. Or alternatively, just let the community inform you when you need to renew it. Both are effective methods.

        They use LetsEncrypt. There is literally a bot you can install to automate the renewal process daily on a cron schedule and notify you if it fails.

        They’re just fucking morons managing the infra for their domain.

          Yes there is an easy fix that will make the problem go away. At this point you know it’s deliberate.

          I personally think it’s hilarious.

          Since I have never used the distro but have seen threads like these popping up every time the cert expires, I don’t think it takes much trust.

          Also it’s pretty fucking hilarious.
