On June 27:th, the https certificate for lemmy.today was supposed to renew itself. Its set up to automatically renew every 3 months, and its been working perfectly since the site was started over 2 years ago.
But this time it failed to do so, due to a syntax error in the web server config that was not noticed until this incident took place.
Its been fixed now but took more than a day unfortunantly. Sincere apologies for the long delay - it was because I was on vacation in Madeira and in the process of travelling home that day.
Life finds a way to kick us in the balls sometimes.
When I got certificate error, I got really surprised. Nowadays no one does it manually. That was the only part made me a little bit concerned. Thanks for having this instance. I really appreciate the effort.
