      Aww man. Glad I grabbed a screenshot before it got rotated.

  I had a job once, when TLS was new and half the internet was not using some form of SSL. We had to manually do keyswaps on a stack of machines to create a trust network for all the certs. IT really sucked. I made a note of the certificate expiry data and a calendar reminder 3 years into the future to start looking for a new job if I hadn't already.

    Hopefully that reminder never slipped pasta your attention.
    • gonzo41 4y ago
      Yeah!, for context, I saw and fixed that spelling mistake of calendar / colander. This week really has been a wild ride. Can't text fast enough.

    I hope you don't end up in a job where someone left on cert calendar reminder.

  There is absolutely no way in hell those aren’t autorenewed. I think the answer is “quite a long time” actually. Eventually disk/machine rot in DCs will take over but it can take many months or more

    Everything I run at work is 5-10 years old or older. It all just hums along. Occasionally I replace a hard drive or a power supply.

      You get massive DoS attacks pretty regularly? State sponsored hackers?

      Now multiply that frequency against the ratio of machines Twitter has vs you.

      On a modest Hadoop cluster of 300 machines with 20 disks a piece, we replaced 3 hard disks a week.

        Spindles? That sounds like a ridiculous amount burn rate - it should be no more than 5-10% a YEAR. Backblaze reports only 1.6% quarterly failure rate https://www.backblaze.com/b2/hard-drive-test-data.html https://www.backblaze.com/b2/hard-drive-test-data.html

          Er actually missed its total 6k disks seems about right then

  The certificate looks like it was created on Nov 14th and is valid until Nov 14th 2023 to me.
  • fotta 4y ago
    Yeah it looks like they rotated it. It used to be this one: https://crt.sh/?q=DA26F72EACAC75CCEE794140441020848697AEB0 https://crt.sh/?q=DA26F72EACAC75CCEE794140441020848697AEB0 The new one isn’t even indexed on crt.sh yet.

  My browser said that too, but that certificate may be cached from a while ago. The terminal gives a different set of dates: $ openssl s_client -servername twitter.com -connect twitter.com:443 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -dates notBefore=Nov 14 00:00:00 2022 GMT notAfter=Nov 14 23:59:59 2023 GMT Edit: Opening my browser in incognito now shows the new expiry too. The non-incognito version continues to show the old expiry.

    I think they rotated it. The new one isn’t in crt.sh yet, but for posterity’s sake this is the old one https://crt.sh/?q=DA26F72EACAC75CCEE794140441020848697AEB0 https://crt.sh/?q=DA26F72EACAC75CCEE794140441020848697AEB0
