Umzug meiner Friendica-Instanz



This morning my websites weren't loading because the Let's Encrypt certificates expired despite the auto-renewal I set up. It turns out I recently moved my domains from Gandi to Porkbun and certbot wasn't able to renew the certificate using the now incorrect DNS authentication plugin.

After finding a Porkbun-specific DNS plugin, I was able to update my certificate configuration and renew them.

Onwards!

Textbook Vendor Cengage owns and operates a platform called Ed2Go which looks to be a learning management platform to help with military career placement.

Cengage makes a lot of money. Like a lot. Most of these textbook vendors do. Cengage had 1.5 billion dollars in income in 2017 according to wikipedia.

So it's kinda funny to me that their knocking on doors at our university, trying to figure out who can help them setup the Let's Encrypt CNAME records for the subdomain they wanna setup under our university's domain.

Cause you know they need the free SSL certs. #university #textbooks #letsencrypt


@Anubis2814 Please setup #LetsEncrypt SSL on your server. It is free of charge. It is today no more modern or acceptable to have clear-text connections (not SSL/TLS).


#geek #security
Getting an #SSL #certificate from #LetsEncrypt (or possibly anywhere) results _immediate_ #attack's on the host. It seems bots constantly monitoring new certs.
Keep in mind when pulling up new services.


Fancy, finally an alternative to Let's encrypt!

It's always good to have alternatives around. ZeroSSL appears to be a European company that now provides free TLS certificates using the ACME protocol.
