• let's encrypt certif problem

    From Ogg@VERT/CAPCITY2 to All on Mon Oct 11 20:30:00 2021
    It's been a few months since I last checked in on my nntp ãaccount with eternal-september, but TB is reporting that there ãis a certif problem:ããhttps://susepaste.org/24549546ããIt seems to look fine in the sense that the dates are still ãgood.ããBut is there a way to update the certif and be able to log in?ãããããã--- OpenXP 5.0.50ã * Origin: Ogg's Dovenet Point (723:320/1.9)ã þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTPã

I downloaded what Iãthough was a required replacement/updated certif [Cross-signedãby DST Root CA X3] from one of the above links, but it promptedãme for a password to proceed with the installation.ããMeanwhile, I learned that OpenXP doesn't care about any ãcertifs, and I can fetch my eternal-september messages with ãthat.

Most Linux and BSDs around got the problem fixed via aãregular update.ãã--ãgopher://gopher.richardfalken.com/1/richardfalkenãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Palantir BBS * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FLã
