I just tried to create an account and got this error:
"Can't connect to newserv.freewha.com:443 (hostname verification failed) hostname verification failed at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/LWP/Protocol/http.pm line 50."
This reminds me of the days of Tripod and Geocities, and when ISPs gave you webspace and usenet access as part of the package. They also gave you their own email service which meant it was a real pain if you changed ISPs - my mother-in-law is still with btinternet because she's worried about losing her email address if she switches.
- jasonjayr 2y agoWow, a Perl error in 2025? I mean, my full time job still have a giant Perl application at it's core, but seeing it come up in random places is always heartwarming :)
- morphle 2y agoSame here. I tried all the forms offered om that website to create an account and they all ended on different errors.
