Wow that's really shitty of all the other ones. Will you name drop them so I can be angry at their ethics for you?

- dang 5y agoLet's try to avoid the online shaming/callout culture here. It's a classic local/global optimization tradeoff. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&type=comment&dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=online%20shaming%20by%3Adang https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&type=comment&dateRange=a...
- xeromal 5y agoThanks for keeping the peace, dang
- brianpan 5y agoEven if my cert is about to expire, I might already know and have a plan to renew and rotate. In fact, I would think MOST large sites have a plan for this and aren't relying on a person from the internet to notice and email them. Plus, do I need to publicly thank every person that emails and helps me?
- remram 5y agoThere's never a reason to cut it as close as a few days. If you had a sensible plan, you would have enacted it weeks before so as to not get into this situation. Even letsencrypt, with its famously short-lived certificates, is supposed to renew 30 days before expiry. I have been bitten with this before. I had a good plan, and had actually renewed that one but hadn't reloaded nginx. That's the day I found out that uptimerobot alerts you if your site goes down, but stays willfully silent if it's technically up but using an expired or invalid certificate.
